Features:
Get the advantages of both a hard tonneau cover and a soft tonneau cover for your vehicle with the Revolver X2. 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 X2, 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 secret to the Revolver X2'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 X2 will roll up evenly every time, unlike ordinary soft vinyl covers that can get lopsided as you maneuver them.
Unlike other tonneau covers that sit 1/2" or more above your truck bed rails, the Revolver X2 sits nearly flush with your rails for a clean, ultra-sleek look.
The Revolver X2 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 X2 mounts inside your truck bed rails, you can still use your truck bed stake pockets to mount accessories like tie-down anchors.
The Revolver X2 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 X2 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.
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.
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.
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.
The Revolver X2'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 textured 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 X2 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.
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.
Installing the Revolver X2 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 X2 rails are installed squarely on your truck bed.

Randy: Hey guys, it's Randy here at etrailer.com again. Today we're taking a look at the Back Industries Revolver X2. This is a, as you can see, a hard style tonneau cover that gives us that classic smooth look. It has flush rails so it doesn't stick up off the side of the vehicle very much. Overall, it offers a lot of security and a lot of protection, which is generally what we're looking for out of an tonneau cover.Either we have sensitive items in there, we don't want them getting wet, we don't want them getting dirty, so we wanna protect them. Or we have expensive items in there.
We could have tools, stiff wheels, things like that. And when using this cover with the locking tailgate, it's one of the most secure lids on the market.Now some additional benefits that we have are the look quality with this. You can see it's a nice, flush design, it doesn't really stick up over our bed rails very high. It's just gonna give us that clean, sleek look but offers a lot of protection. Also as a side effect, we're not gonna have that wind bucketing into the bed of the truck.
That can help reduce wind noise, it can help reduce wind drag. That'll kind of lead us into better fuel economy.Now when in the stored position, something I really like are the straps. These are designed to come around, they clamp in right down here to the rail. And essentially when rolled up, that's gonna keep this from moving forward or back. It's a nice handy feature so we don't have to worry about contact up here, or maybe it heading back towards the bed of the truck.Also if this we're to roll up too far, which in most cases, it actually can't make contact with the truck, we do have some pads here.
Those will make sure that as it makes contact, we don't have any scarring on the cover or on the vehicle. Here you can see the front side of those straps where they come in, just nice, easy to use clips. Squeeze it to remove and press it in to attach it.Now when we compare the Revolver X2 to other tonneau covers that we have available, I like the solid design. We're getting a huge upgrade, having a nice solid panel where nobody can get in or at least cut through something that's very thin and gain access to the bed. But I also like the other advantage it has, and that's at where it stores.
It's gonna store right up on here on top of the bed, so our bed is left completely unobstructed.There are other roll up style tonneau covers that just slide in and out on the track and those are gonna have a box that sticks down in the bed for it to roll up in. In that situation, you're losing some of your bed capacity, so that's definitely something to keep in mind. Other type covers that offer the same style of protection or give us a hard surface will be like a tri folder or a quad fold style cover.You're gonna fold the panel over onto itself, onto itself and then eventually, up against the back of the vehicle. Now basically when you fold that last panel up, it's pretty much gonna obstruct the view out of your rear window. With the roll up cover here and the way it sits, generally it's not gonna be any higher than our headrest on that back seat. So really, we're not gonna lost that much field of view out of that back window.Now another thing that we can appreciate about this cover is that this installs relatively easy on your pickup truck and it requires zero modifications. It's gonna work with beds that are painted just like this one. Spray in bed liners or drop in bed liners. Although on a drop in bedlinen, you might have to make a few cuts here and there to allow our clamps. You can see we're gonna have on short bed applications, six of these. Long bed applications are gonna have eight of these.Those are designed to grab the rail of our cover and our bed rail to keep everything nice and secure. Now, the security aspect we hit on a little bit earlier, what makes it such a nice, secure cover. Not only those really thick, quarter inch aluminum slats, but each of those slats has a locking tab on the end of it. You can see as we roll that up, each one of those tabs is gonna have that black piece that comes off the end.And when we close our cover, you see how that aluminum rail here That goes in and then engages that tab. So what that means, comparing this to a folding style cover, is that we have 100% lock coverage all the way down the side, rather than just having our clips at each of our little intersections. And now also to the protect the outer surface or the surface we're gonna look at when our cover's rolled up. You can see the entire length has been covered with a nice felt. That's gonna help to decrease the possibly of our aluminum transferring over onto our vinyl cover.Another feature I appreciate that we don't always see with other tonneau covers, is that even with it closed, we're still able to close that tailgate so we don't have to open it, close the tailgate and then close it on top. Also with locking tailgates being very, very popular, we've got the solid security of our cover. Once we lock this tailgate, it's gonna make it very hard for somebody to access that bed.Here you can see the latching mechanism. It's gonna be the same on both sides. We've got a release handle right here. You'll notice as we pull that down, it engages that lever. That's the lever that brings in the locks all the way down. And we just simply push it down until we hear the click on both sides. We're ready to shut our tailgate at that point and hit the road.Now when it comes time to release your cover, it can be done from either side. We have a release handle here, and then on the same spot here on the driver's side we're gonna pull that. And then it's just a one person job. We don't have to have one person on each side trying to get everything rolled up properly.It's also an all weather material, so regardless of if you're in a colder climate or a hot climate, you're not gonna have any problem getting this rolled up and then rolled back out. Unlike some of the other covers, when it got cold outside, they we're near impossible to use.So as you can see, there are a lot of benefits to the Revolver X2, but there are tons of tonneau covers out there on the market. I think this one's strengths are increased visibility in the back of the truck so we can see what's behind us and also really maximizes the security that we have in our truck bed.

The Revolver X2 tonneau combines hard cover strength and security with soft cover convenience. The heavy-duty aluminum and vinyl cover sits flush on your vehicle and rolls up for full truck bed access. Easy, no-drill installation.
I have had this cover for one year and I would not buy it again. I read the reviews about how terrible this design is in climates that has freezing temps, but I live in New Orleans so freezing rain and snow was not a concern.
Turns out it’s not just cold weather and ice that ruins this, so doesn’t the sun and heat. The vinyl cover that you see when the cover is down is glued to a bunch of aluminum pieces and this design allows it to roll up and down. When the sun heats up the vinyl the glue separates from the aluminum sections and the cover will not roll up or down.
Don’t get me wrong, the concept is great, but the companies execution is off. I think I bought the second iteration and if I were you I would wait until the 6th or 7th version. They are far from getting this design right.
The rollback cover is excellent. It is designed well, and went on my 2003 Silverado easily and it fits well. The only negative I have with my new cover is when it arrived from the manufacturer (BAK), it was full of aluminum chips. As I unrolled it to install it they were wrapped into the cover. I was getting aluminum chips everywhere. The cover had them rolled in the fabric cover, I got them on/in my hands, and on the painted surface of my truck. That was my only concern. eTrailer.com is to be commented on their commitment to customer service. They kept me informed on the progress of the tonneau build continually. Thanks to all at eTrailer.
I like the idea of this cover rolling open or closed and the fact it locks when closed. Problem is the plastic guides that push into the aluminum rails do not stay in place. When rolled open and strapped down bouncing down highway the weight of the cover pushes these plastic guides out and allows seal to be damaged and to come out of its grove. I had to insert pieces of wood into the track to hold guides in place at front of track. I pull a 44 ft toy hauler around USA so cover stays rolled open for weeks at a time. The weight of rolled up cover smashes the guide pieces out of place. In the picture that’s paint stir sticks with foil tape on them so they stay dry.
Overall I'm satisfied with the product, but for the price I expected a little better attention to detail. The fit and finish leaves something to be desired. All the parts are just cut and are not finished or cut evenly for that matter (see pics). It gives the overall feeling of a hastily finished product. Plus I've already to replaced some parts due to breakage. Fortunately they were rreplaced free of charge. But it does the job and fits my needs, so I'm giving it 3 stars.
Installed well. Would help if one had a second person. I am 65 and still installed on my own. Excellent fit. Very happy with unit.
Will be traveling country and needed to have some security and yet need to be able to have large items in bed of truck at times. No need to take a cap off and all the hassles that go with that.
Love how its flush with the bed and ease to roll in and out on one side. Does not derail or misalign through bumps or long distance drive. does not obstruct heavy loads and adds a protectant to the back glass. Have not test the effect on MPG as MPG is not a factor in trucks. Heck I even put holes in my gas tank [roll eyes]
We bought (2) of these covers a year ago and would definitely highly recommend them. This is a well thought-out, nicely featured and well designed product of excellent quality. In the past we used Velcro strip hold-down "tarp-type" Tonneau covers in the past and will never go back. These covers roll up effortlessly and very quickly compared to the Velcro type. And, (as long as you keep the lock-down bar & track clean) they just as effortlessly roll out, lay down, lock down, and stay down - no stretching and having to take time working to get the tarp tight so that it doesn't "flap" in the wind. Wonderful product.
I am really glad I bought this cover. I looked and looked and ended up with this hardtop aluminum roll-up cover. It was easy to install, fits well and is secure. I am able to roll it up and snap it down and still pull a fifth wheel without having to remove the cover, a big plus.
My only issue is the tie down buckle and straps are poorly conceived. The snaps should be redesigned for easier access and use. One of the snaps broke early on and I had to find a replacement.
This BAK RevolverX2 tonneau cover is a high quality product that has performed well on my GMC Sierra 2500HD, it keeps my cargo safe, relatively dry and I save fuel. what more could ask for in a product.
Secure straps for when the tonneau cover is rolled up ripped out of the washers holding to the frame. Tarp pulled away from rubber seal causing water leak. Latches on the side of the cover dont always latch into the track.
I ordered a BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau cover for my 2013 Nissan Frontier pickup truck. Navigating the website was easy, I liked the price and the free shipping that were offered. I immediately received tracking information for my item so I knew what to expect. The item arrived on time and was professionally packaged and undamaged during shipment. The installation instructions were easy to follow and the kit included everything necessary to complete the installation, which took approximately 30 minutes. The cover looks great and works great. I am a very satisfied customer.
Great tonneau cover! It's amazing how easily a well made product installs. I replaced my soft folding IMPORTED tonneau cover with this sweet piece and I can honestly say I now understand the difference in price. The Revolver X2 fits flush, looks great, closes securely, and just makes me feel a little cooler knowing it's back there ( I need all the help I can get). Bottom line, I was apprehensive spending so much for a tonneau cover but now that I did I will shout from the rooftops "YOU GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE REVOLVER X2s!" etrailer is a no-brainer as well, you can buy BAK tonneau covers from dozens of other retailers but I know etrailer, I trust etrailer, and I know if there's ever a problem (which I doubt there will be) etrailer will be there to fix it.
I couldn't be more pleased by this tonneau cover except if they found a way to make it magically disappear into the cab when I want to use the whole bed. It did its job throughout both summer and winter, keeping snow and rain out of the bed of my Tundra. By virtue of its unique rolling design, it's also one of the few options compatible with my TracRac: I can fully roll and unroll it no matter where the racks are placed.
Great product! The only issue I have is the straps that secure the cover when rolled up. If they were a couple of inches longer, it would be easier to get my fat little fingers in there.
I have found the cover easy to install. It still works fine 1 year later. It is easy to roll up using one hand. The only problem I experienced so far is occasinal failure of the wire to release the cover on the driver side of the cover when operatred from the tailgate on the passenger side. Its otherwise been a perfect product keeping even the worst rain and snow out of the back of my pickup.
Clean look and easy to use. Still very satisfied with my purchase after 1 year. I installed it on a 2018 Honda ridgeline. My only complaint is when I purchased the product, it took them 3 delivery to provide the right attachment parts for my vehicle. Poor workmanship from the manufacturer. This problem as nothing to do with etrailer, which I'm happy with.
Well,I do like the tonneau cover ,but, when rolled up to to tow a 5th wheel where the rolled cover sits stowed it has damaged the cover by punching thru the material. I suppose you don’t have a fix for this , like a wear strip that can be put over this for some protection .? With the weight of the rolled up cover in the stowed position for towing and the air and road vibration the cover moves just enough to wear thru the material , it would be good if you have a fix.
As always, outstanding customer service. Had to call before buying with weird question about compatibility with equipment management systems. They took time to find an obscure reference confirming it would fit.
Pretty straightforward to install, looks great. Anticipating it to function as designed. Super good video preview to know what you have picked and how it compares to other styles
I love this roll up cover. Only takes up an extra inch of space.
I purchased this cover about a year ago for my 2019 Nissan Titan. I was happy with the appearance, it makes the truck stand out like no other. I can store things in the back, like luggage when traveling and it is secured and it will not leak. The cover itself is pretty sturdy, I have sit about 100 Lbs. on it and it doesn't bow in. I have the leather edition and it is easy to clean. It looks new even after a year, But maintenance is required to keep it looking good. Just keeping it clean and leather conditioner keeps it looking spectacular.
The roll up cover has performed very well in cold temperatures and warm. The top is water proof even when sprayed at the car wash. I like the security provided when the tailgate is locked. Overall very happy and would purchase this again.
I purchased both the Bak Revolver 2 Tonneau and the B & W adapter for my companion 5th wheel hitch from trailer.
Both the product and service was great
Love my BAK Tonneau cover. If there was one thing I've had an issue with is in the winter the track can freeze down and stop you from opening the cover. But other then that I am very happy with it.
Perfect for the hard working truck fans! Great quality for the money! I love the fact that I can completely conceal my tools and gear without sacrificing the full use of the truck bed! Highly recommend!
The only issue I've experienced with this cover that I was not pleased with was it blew up from one corner during a very strong crosswind and several of the plastic rail clips broke. I consider it an anomaly since its never happened again. BAK sent me replacement parts at no cost. The repair was simple.
On the positive side the cover gives you additional security from theft due to its construction. It's expensive but I feel worth the money, especially when protection of valuable cargo is needed.
Do you have a question about this Tonneau Cover?
