Features to know about

Full Bed Access: Quad-Fold Aluminum Panels

Many covers have to come off completely when it’s time to haul something tall. The BAKFlip G2 makes that unnecessary. Its quad-fold design lets you flip back one, two, or all of its panels in seconds for partial or full-bed use. Prop rods hold the cover upright against the cab so you can drive with the bed completely open, and rubber bumpers keep it from touching the glass. You can also secure the folded panels with the built-in straps if you want to keep your rear window clear.

Secure and Easy Operation: Automatic Latching System

You don’t need to crawl into the bed to open or close this cover. Just drop the tailgate and pull the release cords in the corners to unlatch each panel. When you fold them back down, the panels latch automatically under their own weight. Once the tailgate is locked, the cover can’t be opened from the outside, keeping gear safe from unwanted access. The sturdy ½-inch-thick aluminum panels add another layer of protection that can’t be easily pried or cut through.

Weather Protection That Lasts: Seals and Drainage System

Rain and wash water don’t stand a chance with the G2’s integrated drainage. Matte black rubber seals run around the perimeter to block most water, and any that seeps through is channeled along built-in gutters and out through drain hoses behind the cab. The black paint finish with hair-cell texture resists corrosion and UV fading, so it stays looking sharp through years of sun and storms.

Built to Work Hard: Heavy-Duty Aluminum Construction

Each panel is made from rustproof aluminum with an insulated core for strength. It’s tough enough to handle up to 300 lbs of evenly distributed weight when closed, so it can take on real-world use without bending or sagging. The aircraft-grade aluminum rails and glass-filled nylon latches give smooth, solid operation every time.

Quick Install, No Drilling: Clamp-On Design

Mounting the G2 is straightforward with no holes to drill. The frame rails clamp inside the bed rails to form a secure base, and bolts fasten the front hinge rail to the frame. Adjustable brackets make it easy to fine-tune alignment for a snug, flush fit that keeps the cover tight and streamlined.

Video Transcript for BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover Review BAK26328

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.

After a year it still keeps the bed dry and works the same as when it was brand new. The only issue I have is that installation requires the use of the front top hold down bracket holes thus eliminating any tie down options at the front top of the bed. The hold down brackets are still available at the front of the bed at the bottom but nothing at the top.
by:
Installation instructions were not very clear, but we got it done and have been very pleased with it, both aesthetically and functionally. Great product!!!
by:
The cover looks good, if I ever get it on. Need 8 claps to put on side rails, only got 6! Had to call to get 2 more shipped to me.

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...

by:

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:
Camera mounting seems off alittle compared to the original tried adjusting but still the same view
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.
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.

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:

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:
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.
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.

Great product, I have had no problems whatsoever and it enhanses the look of my truck.

by:
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.
by:
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!

Ford F-350 Super Duty
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.

  • Tonneau Cover That Fit 2008 Honda Ridgeline that is Flush with Bed Rails
    We do have soft tri-fold tonneau coves like the Extang Trifecta # EX94825 but all of this style installs above the bed rails. The Lo Pro # TX520601 does sit slightly above the bed rails when it's installed. For a cover that does sit flush with the bed rails you'd need something like the BakFlip G2 part # BAK26601 which is a hard folding cover.

  • Tonneau Cover and Tailgate Lock Recommendation for a Honda Ridgeline with Factory Backup Camera
    I prefer the hard tonneau covers like the BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover, # BAK26601. The hard tonneau covers offer excellent durability and would be more difficult to break into than a soft tonneau cover. This tonneau cover will fit the 2006 to 2014 Honda Ridgeline and does not require any tools or drilling to install. The tonneau covers for the Honda Ridgeline do not come with a built-in locking mechanism, so you would want to use the tailgate lock to lock the cover. If the tailgate...

  • Does The BAKBox 2 and BAKFlip Cover Allow Access To Trunk In Honda Ridgeline
    The BAKBox 2 Truck Bed Toolbox part # BAK92601 measures 10" wide so it should not interfere with the trunk lid but you want to measure the clearance between the open trunk lid and the cab to be sure. However, the BAKBox 2 attaches to BAKFlip tonneau cover G2 part # BAK26601, BAKFlip tonneau cover F1 part # BAK72601 or BAKFlip tonneau cover FiberMax part # BAK126601 for the 2011 Honda Ridgeline. The BAKFlip covers retain 75 to 80 percent of the total access to the trunk. Which means the...

  • Will the BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK26601 Limit Trunk Access on a 2014 Honda Ridgeline
    If the BAKFlip G2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK26601 was installed on your 2014 Honda Ridgeline and it was folded back you would have no interference with it and your trunk. If the G2 cover was folded down the door would open basically as tall as the distance from the truck bed to the top of the bed rails of your vehicle. The trunk wouldn't open all the way, but it would open far enough to give you access to what you have in your trunk. If you needed more access you would just need to fold...
