Features to know about

Full Bed Access: Quad-Fold Aluminum Panels

Some covers make it a hassle to haul large gear because they have to come off completely. The BAKFlip MX4 solves that with a quad-fold design. You can flip back as many panels as you need or fold them all up against the cab for full bed access. Prop rods hold the cover upright so you can drive with the bed open, and the integrated buckle system lets you secure it in the folded, flipped-up, or closed position without any loose straps or tools.

Everyday Protection: Rustproof Aluminum with Matte Finish

If you’re out in all weather, a durable cover is a must. The MX4 uses ½" thick, rustproof aluminum panels with a premium-density foam core that add strength without extra weight. It’s rated to hold up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed cargo, and the matte black finish resists scratches, scuffs, and UV rays so it stays looking sharp through years of use.

Keeps Cargo Dry: Seals and Drainage System

Rain and car washes can send water everywhere, but this cover is built to keep your gear dry. Matte-black rubber seals line the edges while a built-in drainage system channels water out of the bed. The rear seal lets you open or close the tailgate with the cover up or down, so you’re not fighting the weather just to load or unload.

Clean, Low-Profile Look: Inside-Rail Mounting

For a sleek finish that doesn’t stick out past the bed rails, the MX4 mounts flush inside the bed. The aerodynamic profile reduces drag and helps maintain a smooth look while you drive. Because it sits inside the rails, you still have access to stake-pocket-mounted accessories or raised side rails—a clean setup that’s practical, sturdy, and sharp.

Quick Installation and Secure Locking

There’s no drilling required—frame rails clamp to the inside of the bed, and included bolts secure the front hinge rail. Once in place, the automatically latching panels lock when the tailgate is closed, creating a secure bed space for tools or gear. It’s simple, strong, and ready to go right out of the box.

Great tonneau cover. Fits as it should.

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.



by:

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:

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:

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:

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.

Excellent tonneau, easy install, quality product. Installed a year ago, no problems, still looks like new



by:

Keeps out the water well. However if you do a lot of dirt roads like I do a lot of dust still gets in. No regrets buying it.



by:

Great product, a little pricey but you get what you pay for. It keeps objects save and protected from the weather. Very well built and have had no issues.

I love the design of it and it is rock solid

I am very satisfied with my Tonneau cov er.

Both items have been rreceived .



by:

After a year with my BAKFlip MX4 tonneau cover, I'm completely satisfied, in my opinion, that I purchased the best rigid and secure cover for my 2017 F350 Super Duty truck, with 6'-9" box.



by:

Love that I can have a cover on my truck while towing a fifth wheel. It folds up nice and latches to stay out of the way of the fifth wheel hitch. Then I can keep items in the back of my truck while camping and they are secure (my tailgate locks).



by:

It's a straight forward assembly but photos of the assembly steps would be better than the illustrations.
NOTE: This model allows you to open and close the tailgate without lifting up the cover. The other models require you to lift the cover so the tailgate won't damage it.

You mentioned that the glue holding the pads are failing. I wanted to see if you would be able to send a picture to show the locations.

the bedcover finally came in.

of it installed.



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.



by:

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:

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:

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.

  • Ladder Rack Recommendation for Retrax Tonneau Cover to Use with Thule Hullavator TH898
    Hey Walt, since the Retrax Tonneau part # RTT-80383 that you referenced has T-slots for accessories you can use the Yakima Overhaul HD part # Y01151-5855 for a ladder rack and since the crossbars of this rack have channels of their own on top of them that would allow you to use the Thule Hullavator part # TH898.

    Hey Josh, so we do have a BAK tonneau that fits your 2018 Ford F-150 6-1/2 foot bed and the Thule TracRac SR part # TH43002XT-501EX with the Bak Revolver part # BAK27ZR but the BakFlip won't fit well as the panels would hit the uprights.

  • Will Leer Hard Tonneau Cover Clear Camera and Goosebox In 2026 Ford F-350
    Hey Pete, welcome back! With the Leer Hard Tonneau Cover # LE74FR folded all the way up into the standing position, it is designed to stay below the third brake light. I don't expect it will block your camera view, or at the very least, it may only block a small portion that isn't important for anything like hooking up. For your Reese Goosebox setup, the cover extends about 26" into the bed from the bulkhead when it's 3/4 open. I'd measure 26" back from the inside edge of your bulkhead...

    Hey Walt, that combination would work really well on your 2025 Ford F-250 short bed but if you were wanting to move the racks you have now to your new truck that wouldn't work as the fits are different. So what you would need for the new truck is the TracRac SR part # TH43003XT-785 and then for the tonneau cover part # BAK48330.

  • Need Easy On/Off Ladder Rack For 2024 Ford F-150 With Bakflip MX4 Tonneau Cover
    Hello Rob, thanks for reaching out. The best option for an easy on/off ladder rack that will work with the Bakflip MX4 is the following: - Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs # TH43002XT-508 This uses utility rails that install into the stake pockets.

  • Recommended Ladder Rack Compatible With BAKFlip MX4 Folding Tonneau Cover on 2020 Ford F350
    Usually ladder racks use the inside edge of the top of the bed site to attach to the vehicle, but luckily there are exceptions to that. The Thule TracRac SR is typically compatible with tonneau covers that mount to the inside edges of the truck bed. I spoke with my BAK Industries representative, who confirmed that the SR will work with the BAKFlip MX4 on your truck. The correct Thule TracRac SR for your short bed F350 is part # TH43003XT-785.

    For a great ladder rack that fits with your BAKFlip MX4 on your 2021 Silverado 1500 with a 5'8" bed, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A4002965. Since the BAKFlip MX4 completely installs within the bed rails of your truck, the Adarac Pro Series will be able to install into the stake pockets of your vehicle without interfering the tonneau. The Adarac comes with a 500 pound weight capacity for carrying ladders, lumber, piping, and and other cargo with ease....

  • Is BAKFlip Cover Compatible with 5th Wheel Towing for 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty with Short Bed
    Thank you for all of the great info! While you technically could have enough room to make turns with the B&W Companion # BWRVK3370 and the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK48330, from what I could find out I think you're only going to have a few inches of clearance so I'm a bit hesitant to say the these will for sure fit together and you'll be safe (the BAKFlip will take up about 25" of your bed just for reference).

The biggest being that the G2 has three sections that fold and the MX4 has 4. The MX4 is also compatible with the BakBox which is a storage box, part # BAK92100. The MX4 also has a weight rating of 400 lbs evenly distributed on it while the G2 isn't rated at all.

    According to BAKflip, when the # BAK48330 is folded up against the rear of the truck cab, it'll reach into the bed by about 9 inches. Since the cover sits against the back of the cab when folded up and reaches most of the way up to the roof, it would be a little too close for comfort to the front corners of your 5th wheel during turns. I'd rather see you use a retractable cover like the Retrax # RT60383 which will not extend up past the top of the bed sides when fully retracted, so it...

It has a drain system too that helps direct the water out of the truck as well.
