Get the advantages of both a hard tonneau cover and a soft tonneau cover for your vehicle with the Revolver X4s. This hybrid tonneau likely has an identity crisis. It's built like a hard cover, but it looks and acts like a soft cover. With the Revolver X4s, you get the strength, durability, and security of a hard tonneau and the sleek look and convenience of a soft, roll-up tonneau - all while protecting your truck bed and cargo and helping to improve your fuel mileage.


The X4s has the features of the original Revolver X4 with upgrades including a matte black aluminum underbody, integrated safety slat caps, rear corner caps, and an integrated bulkhead seal.


Strong, Convenient Hybrid Design

Fully installed coverPartially rolled up cover

The secret to the Revolver X4s's versatility is the aluminum slats on the underside of the cover that make it strong, seamless, and flexible. These individual, hinged slats give the cover its rugged body, while also allowing enough flexibility for the cover to be rolled up. Atop the slats is a tough, 1-piece vinyl layer that adds to the tonneau's sleek look and overall durability while also keeping the slats perfectly aligned. As a result, the Revolver X4s will roll up evenly every time, unlike ordinary soft vinyl covers that can get lopsided as you maneuver them.


Low-Profile Appearance

Cover sits flush for a low-profile appearance

Unlike other tonneau covers that sit 1/2" or more above your truck bed rails, the Revolver X4s sits nearly flush with your rails for a clean, ultra-sleek look.


Full Truck Bed Access

Cover rolled up for full truck bed access

The Revolver X4s gives you full use of your truck bed in a matter of seconds - just roll up the cover and secure it behind the cab. As a result, you can tote around all your gear without having to remove the tonneau. And because the Revolver X4s mounts inside your truck bed rails, you can still use your truck bed stake pockets to mount accessories like tie-down anchors.


Simple, One-Person Operation

Cover is closed and secure

The Revolver X4s is simple to operate. Following installation, just roll the cover out and press down on the rearmost slat at the tailgate to secure the tonneau in place. The built-in latches not only lock down the back end of the tonneau, but they also fasten the sides of the Revolver X4s along the length of the frame rails. The rail tooth runs the entire length of each frame rail. It rotates downward to lock the side rail into the sides of the cover.


Cover is latched closed

When the cover is rolled out and the rear slat is pressed down at the tailgate, the latches on both sides engage. When this happens, the integrated teeth pivot down and rest on top of each slat of the rolled-out cover. Closing the rear slat effectively pins the cover to the rails, ensuring that the cover stays closed from front to back. It's that simple - no Velcro to seal or snaps to wrestle with. When your tailgate is closed and locked, no one will be able to get through the cover, thereby safeguarding your truck bed and its contents. The cover automatically secures as the locking levers at the tailgate engage. These sturdy levers have reinforced gussets that give them added strength and durability. And they will never need adjustment.


Cover unlatched and partially unrolled

To roll up the cover, unlatch the rear slat by dropping the tailgate and pulling either of the 2 release cords located along the bottom corners of the slat's housing. Either cord will release both of the latches so that you can raise the rear slat. When the latches are disengaged, the teeth roll back into the frame rails, releasing the sides of the cover so that you can easily roll it up. Just fold the rear slat over and roll up the cover the rest of the way.


Rolled up cover secured to end of cab by buckle straps - from aboveRolled up cover secured to end of cab by buckle straps - from below

Then secure the tonneau behind the cab with built-in nylon straps and sturdy plastic buckles. These straps help to keep the bundled tonneau from contacting your cab while you drive. And 4 rubber bumpers act as cushioned barriers between the cover and your truck cab.


Heavy-Duty Construction

Heavy-duty, aluminum construction under matte black vinyl

The Revolver X4s's rugged aluminum and vinyl construction makes it an ideal match for your truck, no matter what you do while at work or play. This cover is strong enough to hold up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight when it's rolled out. The 1/4" thick, aircraft-grade aluminum slats are covered with a matte black vinyl skin for superior resistance to impacts, UV rays, and weather. This skin is what gives the tonneau its soft, sleek look. While the Revolver X4s may look like a soft cover, its aluminum skeleton provides exceptional security because it cannot be cut through in the same way that a standard soft vinyl cover can be.


Cover lays atop protective felt strips

Felt strips on the underside of the tonneau help to keep the slats from scuffing the vinyl top as you roll up the cover. The soft felt also shields your hands when the cover has gotten hot or cold. And rubber strips overlay your truck's side rails, cab rail, and tailgate, creating a seal that helps to conceal any gaps and works to prevent water from seeping in.


Easy, No-Drill Installation

Clamp-on installation

Installing the Revolver X4s is simple. All you need is a wrench, and you don't have to do any drilling. The tonneau's frame rails clamp to the inside of your truck bed side rails to create a base for the cover. The included bolts secure the front hinge rail to the frame rails at the cab.


Slotted brackets at the ends of the tonneau side rails allow the bolts to shift in case you need to adjust the cover to achieve a snug fit. These brackets ensure proper alignment of the tonneau frame on your truck bed side rails. This eliminates trial and error in installing your rails - you won't have to put them on and then take them off again to get the correct fit. Pre-installed shims and spacers also help to ensure that the Revolver X4s rails are installed squarely on your truck bed.

Easy to install and a great fit on the bed of the pick-up. As advertised, great looking and very functional tonneau for your truck!



by:

It’s awesome. However one section toward tear of bed separates sometimes. It takes a minute and a second set of hands to reassemble. Has anyone else had this issue?



by:

Carrie’s customer service and the products. I’m gonna be a repeat customer.



by:

The cover was delivered fast and in great shape. I have used it for a year and it has preformed great. Would highly recommend.



by:

Has been on my truck for a year and still looks great and doesn't leak, very pleased with this cover.



by:

As advertised, looks good, had a broken trim piece when I unrolled the cover. CS was excellant. Some of the instructions are missing or confusing. Overall extremely happy with the whole transaction.



by:

Perfect fit, almost completely flush with the bed, very attractive, doesn't flop going down the road. Takes up no bed space when rolled up and does not impair rear view.



by:

Love this cover. It was a bit tricky to figure out how this works as the Honda Ridgeline requires a kit that comes with it so it'll fit. Once this step was completed, the rest of it was not too hard to figure out.

  • Over Cab Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover for 2019 Ram 2500 Long Bed
    Since your ladder rack wraps around the bed rails to attach there won't be a way to also install a tonneau cover as that would interfere. Only solution would be a ladder rack that installs through the top of the stake pockets. Let me know if that's something you'd consider as we have options for that.

  • 2021 Ram 3500 Long Bed Tonneau Cover Recommendation to Fit with B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch
    The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3600 is an excellent option for towing with your 2021 Ram 3500 long bed and puck system. It's easy to use yet very reliable and arguably the most solid 5th wheel hitch we have to offer. For a tonneau cover I recommend checking out the BAK Revolver X4s # BAK74ZR which combines the sleek look of a soft cover with the durability and security of a hard cover. Once rolled up this is only going to have about a 12" diameter so you'll have full bed...

  • How to Lock B&W Gooseneck Ball and Companion 5th Wheel Hitches to 2019 Ram 3500
    B&W doesn't have a direct way to lock the hitch ball to the Custom Underbed Installation Kit # BWGNRK1320-5W or the Companion # BWRVK3400 (for a 6-1/2' bed) or # BWRVK3500 (for an 8' bed), however we do still have some options for you to add theft protect for these on your 2019 Ram 3500. The easiest thing to do is add a cable lock like part # e98891 to your setup. You can route this through the lift piece for the hitch ball when it's in the stored position as well as around either of the...

  • 2019 Ram 3500 Long Bed Tonneau Cover Recommendation for Toolbox and 5th Wheel Towing
    There is! I recommend using the BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK74ZR for your 2019 Ram 3500 long bed. The cover rolls up above your bed so it won't make contact with your toolbox and you'll be able to see over the rolled up cover, plus it sits far enough forward so it won't decrease your clearance for turning. I've spoken with the guys at BAK about this cover for 5th wheel towing applications before and they said that this is their #1 recommendation for that application. One of...

  • Will BAK Tonneau Cover from 2018 Ram 3500 Fit 2022 Ram 3500
    According to my research the BAK Revolver X4s # BAK74ZR and the BAKFlip MX4 # BAK48204 from a 2018 Ram 3500 will fit the 2022 model year as long as both have the same bed length and RamBox option (the ones listed above fit the 8' bed). The only thing I can think of is if your old truck didn't have the RamBox but your new truck does. If this is the case then you need the Revolver X4s # BAK93ZR or the BAKFlip MX4 # BAK48203RB depending on what style cover you currently have.

  • Which Tonneau Cover for 2020 Ram 1500 Classic Can Be Used with Thule TracRac SR
    There is only one tonneau cover that we have determined as a compatible with the Thule TracRac SR and that is the BAKFlip Revolver Series. Which TracRac and tonneau cover you will need depends on the length of the bed. Assuming that you've got an 8 foot long bed then you would want to use the TracRac SR # TH43003XT-000 and the BAKFlip Revolver X4s # BAK74ZR. This would give you a good looking rollup cover that acts as a hard cover when it's rolled down, so your truck bed will be more secure....

  • Which Bak Tonneau Cover Can Fit 2018 Ram 3500 Long Bed with TracRac SR Ladder Rack
    Hey Richard, I have a BAK tonneau cover I can recommend for your 2018 Ram 3500 that I can guarantee will work with your Thule TracRac sliding ladder rack part # TH43003XT-000 but only the Revolver part # BAK74ZR has the needed clearance to fit with the TracRac and not interfere with the base rails and uprights so it's only option we can guarantee will fit. It's also a really solid tonneau cover though so you'll be happy with it in other aspects as well. The big difference is that it's...

  • Best Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover Combo for a 2017 Ram 3500 with 8 Bed
    The best ladder rack and tonneau cover combo we offer for a 2017 Ram 3500 with 8' bed is the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH43003XT-000EX with BAK Revolver X4 Hard Tonneau Cover part # BAK74ZR. The cantilever extension is really a must for hauling long items such as lumber or plumbing pipes as they would likely be bouncing up and down on the cab otherwise. There should be no issues with the cab lights. In regards to the tonneau, this is really one of the most durable...
