BAK Industries combines the strength and durability of aluminum panels with the scratch and UV resistance of a matte finish for its BAKFlip MX4 tonneau cover. This heavy-duty, folding cover keeps your truck bed and cargo dry, cuts down on wind drag to improve your fuel mileage, and allows for full truck bed access without having to be removed. And because this tonneau mounts inside of your truck bed side rails, you get a low-profile look and you can still use your stake pockets to mount accessories.
Convenient Folding Design
One of the BAKFlip MX4's most attractive features is that it can be folded all the way up and remain securely positioned on your truck while you are driving, even at highway speeds. This means that you can haul large cargo without having to completely remove the tonneau. Simply unlatch each of the panels, fold them one on top of the other, and flip them back so that they sit upright against the cab of your truck.
Then flip up the prop rods that are attached to the tonneau's frame rails, slide the brackets on the cover down over the rods, and tighten the knobs on the brackets to secure the upright cover in place. Rubber bumpers on the cover prevent it from marking your cab or scratching the glass of your rear windshield. When the tonneau is in this position, your vehicle's third brake light will remain visible.
If you want to maintain visibility out of your rear window, you can secure the folded panels of the cover without propping them up against the cab using the tie-down straps and buckles included with the cover. Just fold up the first 2 panels of the cover, leaving the panel closest to the cab latched in place. Make sure both buckle clips are inserted into the buckle ends on the front header panel of the cover and adjust the straps to ensure the cover is secure.
Simple, One-Person Operation
The MX4 is easy to operate. To unlatch the rear panel, drop your tailgate and pull either of the 2 release cords located along the bottom corners of the panel's housing. Either cord will release both of the integrated latches so that you can lift up the panel. To unlatch the second and third panels, pull the easy-to-reach release cords built into the corners of those panels.
To close the cover, simply fold the panels back down. Each panel will securely latch back into place under its own weight. When your tailgate is closed and locked, no one will be able to get in to open the cover, thus safeguarding your truck bed and its contents.
Heavy-Duty Construction
The BAKFlip MX4's rugged construction makes it a great match for your truck, no matter what you do while at work or play. The cover is strong enough to hold up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight when it's folded down, so it can support your weight if you sit or stand on it.
Although it appears to be one piece, the cover is made up of aluminum panels that are lightweight but strong. The panels have been enhanced with premium density foam for added strength.
The MX4 is covered with a black matte finish that provides protection from the elements. It resists scratches, scuffs, and harmful UV rays.
Easy, No-Drill Installation
Installing the MX4 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 on the hinge rail allow the bolts to shift in case you need to adjust the cover to achieve a snug fit.

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: Mark12/18/2018
I am very happy with my BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum - Matte Finish - BAK48203.
Really.
And the service I received in its regard was top-notch. It did arrive with a non-functioning blemish but I was compensated by the company, immediately. Also, a part broke shortly after I installed it and again, the company stepped up.
As for the tonneau cover itself:
•it folds open and closed easily as advertised,
•I can stand on it if needed,
•it keeps out the rain (I've run it through car washes too, and the contents of the bed remain dry,
•it was easy to install
•I love that concern for locking the bed by closing before/after tailgate is not an issue.

The BAKFlip MX4 was easy to install, and does what I need. I like the new style where I can close my tailgate without having to lift it.

Review from a similar BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover in Tonneau Covers
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.

Review from a similar BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover in Tonneau Covers
This is the third MX4 that I have owned. This one is on Ford’s Maverick. The first two fit well but not perfect. I don’t really know if the slight issues were the fault of the truck or the cover. This cover is the best yet. Absolutely no leaks!! The fit to the tailgate is very uniform!! When ever I need a cover, I don’t even look at te competition. These are great covers.

Review from a similar BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover in Tonneau Covers
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.

Review from a similar BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover in Tonneau Covers
I love the cover, very sturdy and has held up very nice for 1 year. The one issue is, I have a long bed Ram and when I fold it up against the cab, it covers the camera for the bed. This is a design flaw and if you use the bed camera when you have a load in the bed and the cover is folded all the way up, you can't use it.

Review from a similar BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover in Tonneau Covers
All is well....except, the caps at the joints of the folds keep popping out of place. leaving unsightly bludges in the top. With some work you can pop them back in place, sometimes easily sometimes not. Overall pleased, this is our 2nd BAKFlip and would purchase again.
Comments
I have gotten in contact with one of our installers and they suggested that if those components are popping out, they should be able to be glued in place.

Review from a similar BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover in Tonneau Covers
Easy to install, and it holds up pretty well. The straps that hold it down when partially open can get in the way and one clip got broke. You have to be careful when loading big things with the top down that you don’t snag the straps, clips or cables. The prop rods are good but can get beat up by the loading process too. Also the knobs for the prop rod keeepers can fall off in the bed when the cover is closed. You need to make sure they are tight. Over all a great product, I love that it is strong, flat and solid and makes the whole bed secure. Also handy to set things on when working around mid the truck or for carrying stuff.

Review from a similar BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover in Tonneau Covers
It was very easy to install even though I had never installed a tonneau cover before. One year later, the finish is still excellent. I never installed the drain tubes to divert any water from the outside but very little water ever infiltrates past the cover even when I wash the cover with my hose. One minor thing that can be an issue is when unlatching and latching the middle of the five panels, the end cap on the hinge near the bedrails sometimes disengages. The cover still closes if I didn't notice the disengagement but I'll just flip back and tuck the end cap back in to the hinge, no big deal. Overall very sturdy and durable. My neighbor wants one now.

Review from a similar BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover in Tonneau Covers
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!

Review from a similar BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover in Tonneau Covers
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.

Review from a similar BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover in Tonneau Covers
Installation was easy, although it has never aligned perfectly. It has worked well, although it has been designed to be usable in the open position with the last panel (closest to cab) closed and the folded portion strapped into position. I bought it specifically for that so I could access my 5th hitch and tow, with a portion covered. It seems to be stressful on the cover to use it this way…all of the foam bumpers have worn off and have even put some dents in the cover. It’s a great concept, but could use some design tweaking.

Review from a similar BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover in Tonneau Covers
I like the tonneau cover a lot! It's sturdy and helps keep belongings out of sight, out of mind. I had to cut the rail as it was about an inch too long for my truck but besides that the install was easy.
Comments
I reached out to the manufacturer and they said if you install the rails with the tailgate closed then the rails would sit on top of the tailgate, which is correct.

I reached out to BAK for the measurement to use the cover with your 5th wheel. They informed me from the back of your cab the edge of the cover folded to the single panel laying flat will be approximately 23". You will need to measure the position of your 5th wheel hitch along with the pin box when attached to determine if you will be able to leave it folded in this position...

This locking tonneau cover is a very strong and good looking cover that will secure your 5th wheel hitch underneath. This is a really durable cover with a great design that will allow you to clip it in place when towing your 5th wheel.

If you have a 6-1/2 foot bed, I recommend the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48203. If you have an 8 foot bed, then you will want # BAK48204. This Tonneau has a quad-fold design and allows for partial or full bed access. It has automatically latching panels to give you a locked bed when your tailgate is closed and locked. The cover has aircraft-grade aluminum rails and a black powder coat finish....
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation that Fits Top of Hard Tonneau CoverFor a bike rack that can attach to the top of a hard tonneau cover like the BakFlip MX4 tonneau # BAK48203RB you'd want the very cost-effective Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier # HRT970. This is a bolt-on product that holds your bike at the fork.
view full answer... - Will BAK Tonneau Cover from 2018 Ram 3500 Fit 2022 Ram 3500According 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.

For a tonneau cover there are some great options available. For a power retractable tonneau confirmed as a fit for your 2018 Ram 2500 short bed the PowerTraxPro part # RT70236 is a really nice option. With a remote you can power it open or closed as needed....

You will need to move some stuff around to get it to properly fold up though. All you need to do is slide the rack part back and forth as you open up your MX4 and you shouldn't have any problems with it!

The Extang you mentioned most likely will not open without interference from either the rail kit or the uprights of the rack. Both of these are a confirmed fit for your 2019 Ram 2500 short bed and would work great together!
view full answer... - Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2017 Ram 3500 Crew CabI have a couple of different options for your 2017 Ram 3500 Crew Cab. Your truck has a bed height of just over 20 inches so I will recommend some 5th wheel hitches that are adjustable to under 3 inches of that 20 inch mark that you're looking for. The most economical option for your Ram is the Curt E16 5th Wheel Hitch # C16115 with the Curt Base Rails # C16430-204. This features the Slide Bar Jaw to secure your king pin and has a Gross Towing Weight of 16,000 lbs. The next step up is...

The good thing about most crossbar mounted tent systems is that they're going to have a ladder system that will also support a lot of the weight, so you shouldn't have too much of an issue as long as you're under the weight limit of the tent. The issue is that if you've got a BAKFlip...
