Great durable product. Looks great too. Super easy to install.

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.

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.

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!

This tonneau cover can be installed by one person. It works great. It is water proof in the rain.

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

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.
by: Mike M.11/21/2020
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.

the bedcover finally came in.
Few pictures of it installed.
by: Jason10/17/2022
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.
by: RamonDV07/07/2023
I've had the cover for one year now and the cover has gone through the worst California winter weather for the last 3o years. It kept my stuff 99% dry! It's not 100% leakproof and that was expected but given the conditions esp during rainy season, it has performed above expectations.
by: Jarrod 08/27/2022
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.
by: Fred11/15/2023
Excellent cover for the truck. Easy straight forward install. Built to outlast the truck.
by: Mike03/24/2022
Solid performance. Only issue is with the glue holding the pads is failing
by: James07/22/2020
I really love the bakFlip cover. It locks up all my stuff when we are on the road. I really like the looks too.

This is the second BAKFlip i've owned they vare great,going thru etrailer is an easy process
by: Ken H01/21/2020
After a year of using the cover I found that there are a few things that could be improved and you can do some of these yourself.
The knobs for the cover that actually hold it into the bed-vibrate loose. I added my own lock washers. The poles that you use to hold the cover up when the cover is raised up against the back window-they also vibrate loose-so often that I just removed them and keep them under my seat. The little u-clip pole holders for the poles when not in use-they are too weak-often letting the poles jump out or fall out during normal road driving.
The cover itself is not waterproof --it sheds water away mostly however enough gets into the bed that you can not trust your items to be dry. Bag important stuff to keep it dry.
The rear weather seal slides back and forth too easily--sometimes working itself out about 2 inches until you see it and slide it back into place--i addenda small amount of silicone to stop this from moving.
The cover is strong, looks good and is mostly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I would not buy this again-even more because you have to relocate the bed accessory rails-which then limits the items you can buy for your truck because they are designed for the rails to be in the factory positions.
My next cover will be a roll up so that it allows visibility out of the back window. When this cover is flipped up to its final position it completely blocks the rear window. When I was looking at covers-my thought was well its the coolest looking cover and I can deal with not seeing out the back window--well that has changed. It is not practical. The price is high and there are many other options out there that are. My soft roll up tonneau cover was great-waterproof and I could have bought 6 of them for this price. If one was damaged it would have been better to just throw it away and order a replacement. Sorry guys-look elsewhere for a better cover.

Great service, great product!
by: Brian04/15/2022
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.

No regrets at all. We love this cover.
by: Robert05/03/2022
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.
by: Kevin03/29/2022
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.

- BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Compatible with 2016 Ram 2500 Mega CabFor your 2016 Ram 2500 Mega Cab the bed length is 76.8 inches so you will want the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover - Folding - Aluminum - Matte Finish # BAK48203 which is a confirmed fit as long as you don't have RamBox. If you have RamBox, then there is still an MX4 but you will instead use part # BAK48203RB.

- 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.

After a year in Fairbanks Alaska, it is still going strong and looks new. It was great during the winter here where it has to deal with -40 temps and frequent snow. Never had a problem with it. It is waterproof even in the car wash.
