When you need to load up tall gear or bulky cargo, the BAKFlip G2 makes it easy without removing the cover. The quad-fold design lets you flip each ½" thick aluminum panel out of the way in seconds. You can fold it all the way up and secure it against the cab using the built-in prop rods, or just fold a few panels back for partial access. Rubber bumpers protect the cab glass when it’s propped upright, and you can still see out the rear window when the panels are folded flat and strapped down.
Keeping your cargo safe is as simple as closing the tailgate. The BAKFlip G2’s panels automatically latch as they close, locking securely when the tailgate is shut. Because the release cords are only accessible from inside the bed, a locked tailgate means the tonneau can’t be opened. The rigid aluminum construction also stops anyone from prying up the sides or cutting through the panels, giving real peace of mind when you leave tools or gear in the bed.
Rain, snow, and road grime stay out thanks to continuous matte black rubber seals and a built-in gutter system. Any water that slips past the seams is directed through channels in the frame rails and out through drain hoses behind the cab. The insulated aluminum panels resist warping from heat or cold, and the textured black finish stands up to UV exposure and corrosion. It’s the kind of setup you can count on through every season.
Every part of this cover is built for durability. The ½" thick aluminum panels have insulated cores for added strength and can handle up to 300 lbs of evenly distributed weight. The aircraft-grade aluminum frame rails are powder-coated black to resist rust, and the nylon-housed latches and round hinges ensure smooth folding over years of use. The low-profile design sits flush inside the bed rails for a clean, streamlined look that doesn’t get in the way of rack or stake-pocket accessories.
Installing the G2 is straightforward and tool-light. The side rails clamp inside the bed rails—no drilling required—and the front hinge rail bolts into place for a snug, adjustable fit. Once the rails are secured, the panels drop in and align automatically. With just a wrench, you can have it mounted and ready to use in short order.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Bakflip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover, part number bak26101. Some special features of the Bakflip G2 is that it gives you the ability to drive with the tonneau cover in four different positions. This custom fit tonneau cover protects your cargo and your vehicle's bed from the elements. This tonneau cover is made of half inch thick rust-proof aluminum panels that are sturdy and durable. It has aircraft grade rust-proof aluminum rails with black powder-coat finish to create a nice strong base for the tonneau. This is an easy no drill installation.
The G2 also has a rubber seal which goes around the bedrails of the pickup truck and also here near the tailgate. This is also going to help prevent your gear from getting wet. Its aerodynamic style reduces drag and improves gas mileage. It's made in the U.S.A. and comes with a two year warranty.
It has an integrated latch system and three portions of the tonneau cover. One here at the back, which we can lift up and fold the back panel towards the cab. Now you can drive with this panel up using the deer rings at the top and the underside of the tonneau cover. You can also fold it a second time to use it in this setting as well. Now there is a latch along the second panel which we can pull to fold it again towards the cab.
You can also pull the third latch here with the panel closest to the cab and fold it up. Now there is a soft rubber padding which the panels can rest up against the cab of the pickup truck. Now these metal rods here along each rail of the tonneau cover can fold out and rest up on the back panel putting pressure up towards the cab of the truck and preventing the panel from bouncing up and down up against the cab. We can do this by unscrewing the black knob and inserting the metal rod into position and pushing down the plate up against the metal rod and securing it with the knob. The Blakflip G2 also has a unique integrated drain tube on both the passenger and driver's side of the vehicle.
This will prevent all of your gear from getting wet. Please remember that before closing the back panel of your tonneau cover your tailgate must be closed. With that, that will complete today's review of the Blakflip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover, part number bak26101.
Ratings & Reviews
great cover for my 5th wheel hitch and any loose items I carry. Just flip 3 times to tow my 5ver and go.
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.
Great cover!! It was easy to install and has kept everything stored under it clean and dry. I would definitely recommend it.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Great Tonneau Cover for my Ford Maverick, no issues in a year so I don't suppose there will be any. Fit is perfect and adds class to my little truck. Thanks for a good product.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Difficult to install
Makes noise at highway speeds
Need pliers to get latches to click into rails to hold on
Flimsy
Poor quality
Camera mounting seems off alittle compared to the original tried adjusting but still the same view
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
