Features to know about

Full Bed Access: Quad-Fold Aluminum Design

When you need the whole bed for hauling, the BAKFlip G2 folds completely out of the way. Its quad-fold aluminum panels flip up one by one and can be secured upright with built-in prop rods, letting you drive with the cover fully open. Rubber bumpers protect the cab and rear window when it’s folded up, and integrated buckles make it easy to secure the panels in multiple positions depending on your load.

Clean, Secure Look: Flush-Mount Inside Bed Rails

The G2 sits low inside the bed rails, giving it a clean, flush look that doesn’t interrupt your truck’s lines. Because it mounts inside the rails, you still have access to stake pockets for racks or tie-downs. When the tailgate is closed and locked, the cover’s automatic latching panels keep everything underneath secure—no exposed locks or bulky hardware.

Durable Protection: 1/2" Thick Aluminum Panels

Each panel of the cover is made from rustproof aluminum that’s 1/2" thick with an insulated core for strength and rigidity. The textured black paint finish resists UV rays and corrosion, and the aircraft-grade aluminum frame rails are powder coated for long-lasting protection. The sturdy build even supports up to 300 lbs of evenly distributed weight, so it’s tough enough for work or weekend use.

Keeps Cargo Dry: Rubber Seals and Drainage System

Matte black rubber seals run along the edges to keep out rain, dust, and snow. Any water that sneaks past is routed through built-in gutters and out via drain hoses behind the cab. That means the gear in your bed stays protected in rough weather or at the car wash.

Quick, No-Drill Install: Clamp-On Frame Rails

You can install the BAKFlip G2 with just a wrench—no drilling required. The frame rails clamp to the inside of the bed rails, and slotted brackets on the hinge rail let you fine-tune the fit. Once clamped, the panels align easily and lock down securely, making the whole setup simple to mount or remove on your own.

Very easy to install. I didn't use the instructions (no, I'm not one of those guys). I used the installation video on the BSK G2 tonneau cover on etrailer.com! It arrived in just a few days and was very well packaged. I can finally store things in the bed of my truck safely. Way to go etrailer and BAK Industries!!

It has been holding on strong. One of the weather strips was coming undone, but I was able to adhere it back down.

I ordered a Bakflip tonneau cover and fob lock for my tailgate. Instructions on the cover were perfect. It looks great. Absolutely no institutional videos on my 2011 GMC Canyon for the remote. The wiring connection portion of the install was just past tedious. Once figured out it works like a dream.

Still is exactly what I hoped it would be. Adds security to my pick up bed, looks great and gets compliments. Plus it is easy to use. Great product...

Ok the cover is great if you use it to secure items in the back but, the down fall is how the system attaches to the Ram trucks. The pressure applied by the bolts for securing the side rails causes the manufacturers bed rails to buckle in the middle which, is minimal if you live in a cold climate but, for the majority, it causes issues. I love the security but I hate what it does to my bed rails.
by:
Excellent cover! Easy to install. Looks way better on my truck than the old one and being able to fold it all the way up against the back window is very nice.

After using it for a while Im extremely happy with this cover. It has been a game changer, making my 2008 Ford Ranger bed far more useable and convenient for carrying a variety of items. One of the best purchases Ive ever made for it.

@MikeH Glad you are liking it! Hard covers are definitely the way to go! ^___^ What do you typically keep in your bed? I have a milk crate with some survival type things and various tools in it. One can never be too prepared!

This cover works great and was very simple to instal. Didn’t take much time. The only thing I can recommend is that the instructions are kinda hard to follow at the begging.
by:
I have had many brands of hard covers and this one out performs the others.
The installation is critical especially with the RAM box configuration as I have.
All the parts were supplied. Take your time, read and measure twice cut once.
by:
This cover has been perfect for my application. Previously I had an electric motorized unit that leaked badly when it rained and had no mechanical override in the event the truck was not running. This cover is nearly waterproof and is easily opened and held open for travel if I choose to do so. It looks and works very well.
by:
It’s well built and stout. Installation was a little tough. I’ve had to adjust lock tabs a few times. It sure works great keeping wheelchair covered.
by:
Good product. I had to re-drill the prop rods for the cover. They were no where near where they should have been. Other than that, the installation went pretty well. Not quite as sturdy as the one I bought 15 years ago from the same company.
by:
The BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover has done an excellent job of protecting our various item in he truck bed while running around town or out camping. It is a good solution to securing items in the truck bed from casual theft.

Hi Mardy. I have heard this to be a difficult install and the latches to be stiff (though adjusting them helps), but noisy, flimsy, and poor quality are firsts for a BAK product like this. What kind of noise are you getting? Is something maybe not tightened down all the way causing part to stick up? And, what part are you finding flimsy or poor quality?

by:
I bought this cover so when I tow my fifth wheel camper I can open up and still leave a section closed to cover my air compressor and inverter and when I drop the trailer I can cover my hitch and lock it. It works perfectly for my application. Great quality and sturdy.

After a year of use the cover still works perfectly and I would highly recommend this cover. I really like the fact that you can open up different sections without having to open the whole thing.

by:
This cover has made leaving items in our truck bed much easier.
I do wish it had a way to secure it when not fully open, I.e. one section open.

The tonneau cover is excellent when you get it installed properly. I can only give it a 3 rating because the workmanship of their latches the way they installed them was very shabby. Had to move all the latches back into their frame so they would not hit the side rails, had to re-drill holes that fastened most of the latches to the frame. If they would have taken their time installed the latches properly, then it would have been an excellent tonneau cover all over.

After year of use I love the tonneau cover. had issues installing but after using for a year I would give it a five star.

Love this cover. It was better than I expected. Equally as important I like working with etrailer. Good people that understand and can explain the details of their products. I have used them for a lot of stuff for my boat trailers always with good results.

Actually its closer to two years and I could not be more pleased. I have done a few rainy road trips and the one thing that worried me was if it would keep the contents dry and it did. Al else about the cover has been good too. Good product and it fit like a glove.

by:
I was impressed with how your company staff received my order request, how company staff kept me updated on order status and delivery. Installation went very well. The instruction manual was well detailed. I am very satisfied with your cover. The cover fits perfectly. I continue to receive compliments. Thank you from a very satisfied customer.

2017 GMC Sierra 3500
This is the second BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover we have purchased. The first was for our 2005 Chevy. This is for our 2017 GMC. The 2005 fit much better. The 2017 model is not wide enough to actually fit the bed allowing water to easily enter the bed. Also the posts that hold the cover up against the cab were drilled wrong. You have to remove the slide to fit the prop rod. They simply drilled the hole for the nutzert in the wrong spot on the passenger side. Just not the same quality fit or finish as the 2005 version. We would have returned it but sending it back was going to be too much of a hassle due to its size.
This cover is now completely junk due to a hail storm. No fault of BAKflip but the hail storm destroyed the cover is seconds. The aluminum used in this model is just too light to protect from any type of impact.

2019 Dodge Ram Pickup
We purchased the BAK Industries BAKFlip G2 Tonneau Cover for our 2019 Ram 2500. We use this cover for security/keeping the weather off of our camping accessories for our RV. The cover works great and is fairly waterproof. The only issues we have had is the 1st latching cable, most of the time we need to pull the cable release from both sides to release the locking lugs to open. Over-all a good purchase, and would recommend it for anyone looking for a hard cover.
by:
Overall, a good product. This is the third BakFlip I've owned on different trucks. Quality wasn't as good as older units. The wires to release the latches are too long and get trapped inside the cover so you can't reach them. I added pieces of tape to fix this problem. Also, the nylon straps to hold it open are a nice addition but the plastic buckles broke almost immediately. Older units with metal rings for you to attach bungee cords was a better design.

As always, etrailer service & delivery are outstanding!

This is the third Bak flip G2 Yard Tonneau Cover. Like that they are strong enough to hold test shap and fold flay enough the I can use the bed camera on my F-350 to help me hook up to the 5th wheel. And when it is closed and my tailgate is locked does provide some protection against theft of anything in the bed. I would recommend the cover to anyone that needs one.
by:
Great cover!! It was easy to install and has kept everything stored under it clean and dry. I would definitely recommend it.

Generally this cover continues to perform well. There is a small leak, which I haven’t been able to locate, but it’s not enough to do any harm to whatever may be in the bed. I would still recommend this cover.

I loved this cover so much that I bought another for my newest Chevy 2500 HD. Fits perfect, keeps things in my truck bed secure and protected. Easy installation with easy-to-follow directions.

  • Is There A Tonneau Cover That Opens At The Cab Side Instead Of The Tailgate?
    Hello Mark, thanks for reaching out. All of the tonneau covers we offer will open at the tailgate. Sadly, we do not offer anything that opens at the cab end first. We still have some really solid tonneau cover options for the 2020 Ford F-350, such as the BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover, which is what I recommend. It can fold up and lean up against the cab which should allow acess to your toolbox. Here are the fits for your truck: - BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum # BAK26330...

  • Can BAK BAKFlip G2 Tonneau Cover be Folded Up When Fifth Wheel Towing
    BAK doesn't recommend doing so. During sharp turns, the corners of your fifth wheel could possibly contact the folded up cover which would damage it and possibly your fifth wheel. BAK recommends removing the top before fifth wheel towing. Remove the end of the two props from their sockets on the bed side rails, then unscrew both the black knobs on the underside of the panel closest to the rear of the cab. You'll be able to lift the cover off at that point.

  • Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover Recommendation for a 2019 Ford F-250 Short Bed
    The best ladder rack and tonneau cover combination for a 2019 Ford F-250 is the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH43003XT-785 and BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover part # BAK99ZR. The reason this is the best option is because you can adjust the position of the uprights wherever you want them like moving the rear upright all the way up so you can still haul taller items. The shape of the crossbars also allow you to carry recreational items like kayaks as well as...

  • Comparing BAK Tonneau Covers MX4 and G2 for 2017 Ford F-250
    For your 2017 Ford F-250 the Bak MX4 part # BAK48330 and the BAKFlip G2 # BAK26330 are both pretty similar in that they are folding aluminum tonneau covers that will fit and work great, but there are a few differences. The biggest being that the G2 has three sections that fold and the MX4 has 4. The MX4 is also compatible with the BakBox which is a storage box, part # BAK92100. The MX4 also has a weight rating of 400 lbs evenly distributed on it while the G2 isn't rated at all.

  • Can I Use the BAKFlip G2 # BAK26330 with a Fifth-Wheel Trailer on My 2022 Ford F-350 Short Bed?
    We here at etrailer do not recommend having the BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum # BAK26330 installed/open while towing a fifth-wheel trailer. This is because the trailer could impact the cover during short turns on your short bed 2022 Ford F-350 on sharp turns (which could damage the cover, the trailer, or the truck itself). For a safer option, I recommend using a retractable cover like the RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover # RT80383. Since the cover retracts into a space-saving...

    The BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK26330 referenced in your question is a great choice and is confirmed to fit your 2017 Ford F-250. I spoke with my contact at BAK Industries and he stated that they have not heard of any issues with the bed rails on the Ford or any other truck buckling because of the installation hardware on the unit. He also confirmed that there is no problem at all with the new aluminum beds on the Ford trucks. Most likely the customer with the issue you stated over-tightened...
