Features to know about

Full Bed Access: Tri-Fold Aluminum Design

When you need to haul big items like lumber or gear, the MX4 makes it easy. Its tri-fold aluminum panels flip up in sections so you can open part or all of the bed without taking the cover off. Built-in prop rods hold the folded panels upright so you can drive with the bed completely open. The low-profile design sits inside the bed rails for a clean, flush look that still lets you use stake-pocket accessories or racks.

Secure Cargo: Automatic Latching Panels

Keeping your gear safe is simple with the MX4. Each panel automatically latches when you close it, and once you lock the tailgate, the bed is fully secured. There’s no need for extra locks or keys. The rear seal is designed so you can open and close the tailgate whether the cover is up or down, giving you quick access when you need it without compromising security.

All-Season Protection: Matte Black Seals and Drainage System

Rain, snow, and sun don’t stand a chance against the MX4’s sealing system. Matte black rubber seals and a built-in drainage system channel water out and help keep your cargo dry. The rustproof aluminum panels have a premium density foam core for added strength and insulation, while the matte black finish resists scratches, scuffs, and UV damage. It’s built to handle harsh conditions year after year.

Strong Yet Lightweight: 1/2" Thick Aluminum Panels

The MX4’s aircraft-grade, rustproof aluminum panels are 1/2" thick and can support up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight. You get strength and durability without extra bulk. The powder-coated aluminum rails form a sturdy base that clamps onto the bed—no drilling required—so installation is quick and solid.

Rack-Ready Versatility: Compatible with Bed Rail Accessories

If you run racks or overland setups, the MX4 works right alongside them. Because it mounts inside the bed rails, it stays out of the way of most top-rail systems. It’s also compatible with the BakBox2 (sold separately) and confirmed to pair with the TruXedo Elevate Truck Bed Rack System for even more hauling options.

I've had it for a year. Easy install, but more sturdy then you would think. Only complaint is that one of the plastic buckles broke. Otherwise, great product, as advertised

I love how this tonneau cover works. because it allows use of almost the entire bed of the truck when it's fully open. I was a little disappointed with the clamps for installing the side rails, as they didn't seem as robust as the clamps in the cover I bought for my last truck. However, I am happy with its operation, and the fact that the truck bed is a locked compartment when I lock the tailgate.

Thanks for the great feedback! We're glad you're enjoying the tonneau cover and that being able to use almost the entire truck bed when it's open has been such a big plus. It's also nice knowing your gear stays secure when you lock the tailgate. We appreciate you mentioning the clamps too—that kind of feedback is always helpful. Thanks again, and we hope you keep enjoying your new cover!

Bought it used.. I asked if it was complete undamaged.. It arrived complete including a scratch on the inside cover.. I'm glad it wasn't on the outside cover. Shipping was quick. Installation was fairly straight forward
by:
Ordered the BAKFlip MX4 for my son on 12/15 after calling to verify the tonneau would arrive by Christmas. Then received an email that said "Your order has been forwarded to one of our partners for direct shipment to you" and never received another shipping update or any tracking info. Finally on 12/22 I emailed Etrailer.com who told me they didn't know when I would get it. The Tonneau finally arrived on 12/29, 3 days after my son returned to California (he drove his truck, 2100 miles). He won't be back till next Christmas so I have to figure out how to return this product. I had several other buying options to get this here by Christmas, but went with Etrailer because of their reputation. This will be my last purchase from Etrailer.com.
by:
Overall, I am very pleased with my BAKFlip MX4. It has held up well after 1 year. It works well and looks good. It matches my matte black accessories and trim. It was fairly easy to assemble but I did have some tight fitment issues near the cab where the cover connects to the rail. I really like the security of the hardtop and access through the tailgate. Water is generally kept out, but sometimes there are water drips near the tailgate depending on the angle parked. So this cover keeps the bed *mostly* dry.
etrailer was very fast to deliver my cover, and it came in good condition.
by:
The bed cover has been great so far. Followed the instructions and took my time adjusting it and it has been working well. Keeps the bed dry and looks good. I did have to order an extra kit to get enough rail clamps. Once I put the extra clamps on it feels much more secure. For 8ft beds they need atleast 8 to 10 clamps, not 6. The cover has been working in that I don’t have to uncover the whole bed to use it. I just need to open up as much as I need at the time.

BAKFlip MX4 is a great addition to any pickup. It allows for secure transport of material, keeping it dry in bad weather and yet readily accessible with the flip of a panel. It also keeps the weather away from your 5th wheel hitch. Can be left on when towing.
by:
So after a year I am still loving this bed cover. Had the fiberglass version for my 2013 F-150 and loved it as well, that's why I purchased this one for my 2019 Super Duty, it was also the first accessory I purchased for it because I was so used to my other one and knew I couldn't live without it. I never installed the drain tubes on either covers and still haven't had water get it my bed. Also the folks at etrailer are always awesome! Thanks again!
by:
I have been using this cover for almost a year now, and am very pleased with it. It looks and fits great, and it is secure and keeps most of the bed dry in the rain. A couple of rubber trip bits have needed some improved securing, and I used a little RTV so it was easy. I drove it across the country round trip last summer and it was perfect. I would recommend this cover for a great-looking and pretty secure cover. Finally, it is easy to fold forward when it is time to haul loads taller than the bed rails.
by:
Purchased this BAKFlip for my new 22 RAM Classic 1500. Installation went well, instructions were good to follow, and it fit perfectly. One of the plastic hold down clips had a manufacturer defect with excess plastic mold residue inside the clip that prevented it from properly working. I sent an online warranty claim explaining the problem, and a new clip was sent to me in a reasonable amount of time, and it worked fine. After one year of using the cover, I am very happy with it. Everything functions as it should, and it is very versatile. While it is not 100% watertight, I mostly notice a small amount of leakage around the tailgate seal after washing the truck. Under normal rainy weather, there is no leakage, and we get plenty of rain in the PNW. My four-star rating rather than a 5 star is only because of the manufacturer defect and the curling of one of the rubber cushions on the underside of one of the panels where the adhesive holding it on the edges has not held up under the hot weather (with the black color, when the sun beats down on the cover it gets pretty toasty inside the truck bed with the cover closed). I am thinking that should be an easy fix by applying some good adhesive and taping in place until the adhesive cures. Just haven't gotten around to doing it. Again, really like this cover. Would recommend it to others, and if I ever have a need for one in the future, would definitely not hesitate getting another BAKflip.

The BAKFlip after 2 years is still functioning great. I fixed the curling cushion by applying some strong adhesive to the spots that had detached, taped it in place and let cure for a couple of days. That solved that issue. Would continue to recommend the BAKFlip to others.

Great fit on a Ram 2500 long bed. Everything stays dry on the inside.

I installed the BAKFlip MX4 in my RAM 2500 Crewcab has the 6' 1/2 short bed, drived 300 miles now. good product, open and close the tailgate without lifting up the cover
by:
The cover functions ok. The tailgate leaks quite a bit. The manufactured edges that where cut were sharp and not painted or treated. The weather strip along the edges has already discolored/faded. Disappointed in the fading and less than ideal sharp edges. Somewhat expected leaks, but not this much. Average at best rating, especially for the price.
by:
Install was smooth and got a timely note when it was completed
by:
I am a huge fan of the BAKFlip. The installation was pretty straight forward and easy. Anybody with moderate mechanical ability can install. I think it took less than 2 hours. I live in a heavy snow area and had more than 24” of snow on it at one point and the product performed flawlessly.
by:
Excellent product! Wait time was crazy but manufacturer is to blame on that one!
by:
I replace a camper shell with the tonneau cover because it is easier to remove when I want to put my pickup camper on the pickup. I am very happy with the cover and am glad I made the switch.
by:
the bedcover finally came in.
Few pictur
es of it installed.
by:
I own three of these on three different trucks. The two I purchased this year and last year are not as good quality as the one I purchased in 2023.For the price they are feeling pretty cheap now and parts are falling off. Latch covers and rubber par to rest the top on when folded up have fallen off on both of the covers. I will not be buying these brand covers again.

I really love the bakFlip cover. It locks up all my stuff when we are on the road. I really like the looks too.

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover for a 2022 Ram 1500 Short Bed
    Hey Jim, great question! Aluminum is definitely going to be the most durable and theft proof between the two. Something like the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK448227 would work perfect for you. This is a tri-fold, aluminum tonneau cover that when folded up give you entire access to your bed.

  • Fitment of the Thule TracRac SR with BAKFlip MX4 on a 2020 Ram 1500 Short Bed without RamBox
    While we do have a great solution for you, the Thule TracRac SR # TH57RV is problematic for a couple reasons when used with the BAKFlip MX4 # BAK448227 on your 2020 Ram 1500 (short bed without RamBox). Since you are absolutely correct that the BAKFlip's seals extends over the rails of the truck, they do interfere with the wide rails of the TracRac SR. Not only that, but since the TracRac SR has inward angles on the uprights, this causes rubbing against the sides of the panels when opening/closing...

Instead of the Adarac Custom, I recommend using the Adarac Pro Series # A4000965, since it is confirmed to work with a BAKFlip MX4.

    The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH57RV would be a compatible fit for your Ram and for the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK448227. It unfortunately only comes with 69-1/2" crossbars, so it's 2-1/2" shorter than you were looking for.

    Yes, there is. Since your Ram 1500 has the BAKFlip MX4 item # BAK448227 you will want the TruXedo Elevate Truck Bed Rack System item # TX96NV. I checked with our vendor and this ladder rack is confirmed to work with the MX4 covers. It mounts to the top of your bed rails instead of inside like most ladder racks and where your cover mounts. The TruXedo Elevate Truck Bed Rack System item # TX96NV has a 500 lbs capacity. The bars are 3-3/4" wide x 1-1/2" tall. The uprights are adjustable...

  • Will 2019 Ram 1500 Ladder Rack Fit With Gator Folding Tonneau Cover
    From what I was seeing it looks like the Gator tonneau cover on your 2019 Ram 1500 mounts on top of your bed rails so if you're wanting a rack for cargo we'll either need to go with a roof rack or go with a different tonneau cover that is compatible with a ladder rack. For a roof rack I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo which uses the following: 60" WingBar Evo Crossbars - # TH711520 Evo Clamp Feet - # TH710501 Fit Kit - # TH145199 Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 For a new tonneau cover and...

What it actually has are panels that latch in place automatically when they are lowered, which is what I believe you were referring to.
