Features to know about

All-Season Cargo Protection: Aluminum Panels with Matte Finish

Rain, snow, and sun can take a toll on both your truck bed and your gear. The BAKFlip MX4 uses 1/2" thick, rustproof aluminum panels with a premium density foam core for strength and durability. Matte black rubber seals and an integrated drainage system help keep water out, while the matte black finish resists scratches, scuffs, and UV rays. Together, these details keep your cargo protected and the cover looking great through every season.

Full Bed Use: Quad-Fold Design

When you need to haul large items or load up for a trip, you don’t have to remove the cover. The MX4’s quad-fold design lets you open as much or as little of the bed as you need. Prop rods secure the folded cover upright, so you can drive with the bed completely open. The integrated buckle system also lets you lock it in the folded, flipped up, or closed position, so it’s flexible for whatever you’re hauling.

Secure and Simple: Automatic Latching Panels

You shouldn’t have to fight with your tonneau cover to keep your gear safe. The MX4 automatically latches as you close each panel, creating a secure bed when the tailgate is locked. The rear seal design allows you to open or close the tailgate whether the cover is up or down, keeping things simple when you’re loading or unloading.

Clean Look and Easy Compatibility: Flush Inside-Bed Fit

Some covers sit bulky above the bed rails, but this one keeps a clean, low-profile look. The MX4 mounts inside the bed rails, so it blends smoothly with the truck’s lines and leaves stake pockets open for rack systems or other accessories. Aircraft-grade aluminum rails with a black powder coat finish add to the durability and give it a finished, refined look.

Quick Setup: No-Drill Installation

Installing the MX4 is straightforward. The frame rails clamp to the inside of the bed rails—no drilling required—and bolts secure the front hinge rail to the frame rails. Once in place, the cover sits tight and level, ready to handle up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight on top.

Easy, clean install; fits great on 2022 F-150 with Adarac Aluminum Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack.
by:
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!

2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty
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.

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.
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.

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:
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 tonneau cover. Fits as it should.

2017 Dodge Ram Pickup
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.

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

Few pictur
es of it installed.

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

Solid performance. Only issue is with the glue holding the pads is failing

Its still amazing. Works just like its suppose to glad I made the purchase.

by:
I have owned this cover for over a year and it has been excellent. It keeps the bed fairly dry as expected and I have had no mechanical issues with it as it still performs like new. I would say the only improvement I would suggest is better foam weather striping for the front of the bed as the original never stuck to the spray in liner very well and eventually came lose and then I just swapped with some similar weather striping I bought locally.

The cover is still excellent and keeps our items dry and secure on those road trips. I stand by my initial review and still wish the weatherstripping would stick the the spray in liner better but its only been a minor annoyance that hasnt resulted in any water getting into the bed.

The cover has been great. I would buy it again. The only gripe from me is that for some unknown reason, one screw rusted ( as shown in the attached photo ). Why one, and not the other 3 ?? who knows...

  • Is BAKFlip MX4 Compatible With Thule TracRac SR on 2022 Ford F-150
    Yes, you can use the BAKFlip MX4 with the Thule TracRac SR # TH43002XT-000. However, you will have to slide the rear upright to be able to clear when you fold the cover since the uprights angle in. This is true for any folding tonneau cover you might add with the TracRac SR.

    For a ladder rack that is compatible with the BAKFlip MX4 # BAK46FR on your 2022 Ford F-150 with a 6-1/2 foot bed, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # A4000946.

It is a low-profile cover that sits inside your truck bed rails which allows it to be compatible with stake-pocket-mounted accessories and raised side rails.

    Hi Ron, Yes, the BakBox 2 is compatible with the BAKFlip MX4, part # BAK46FR, on your 2024 Ram 2500 with the 6 ft bed. We no longer carry the BakBox 2, but it is compatible with your BAKFlip MX4 setup. The BakBox 2 you need for your truck is part # 92201. I know it's still available out there online. What will you stash in it tow straps, tools, recovery kit, or weekend gear?

  • Is The TruXedo Elevate Ladder Rack Compatible With The UnderCover Triad Tonneau Cover
    The UnderCover Triad covers the bedrails where the towers of the Telescoping Rack for TruXedo Elevate Rack System # TX46NV would sit so they would not be compatible. You would need a cover like the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK46FR, which would sit inside the bedrails and leave space for the towers of the rack.
