Choosing Between Leer and BAK MX4 Tonneau Cover for 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Question

Question:

Shopping for a folding hard tonneau cover for a 2024 Silverado 2500HD with the 6’ 10” bed that’s on the way. Looking at the Leer hard cover and the BAK MX4. What are the pro / con of each cover. Priorities are: 1. Security 2. Keeping bed contents dry 3. Manufacturer response to warranty issues FYI current truck has a Retrax retractable cover. It is a very secure cover but it can freeze shut in the winter and water leaks past the rail the cover slides in. The drain tubes also plug up and constantly get in the way packing stuff into the bed.

Hi JD; if I had to choose between the Leer Hard Tonneau Cover # LE67FR and BAKFlip MX4 # BAK448133 I would go with the MX4. As far as security goes both are locking covers so it will be about the same between the two. The MX4 has seals and drain tubes while the Leer only has seals. For the warranty, BAK offers a 5-year warranty compared to a 3-year from Leer.

I'm not sure how either of them responds to warranty issues but I can tell you when we have questions about products that require help from the manufacturer BAK is easy to reach as well as helpful and knowledgeable. Leer has been very difficult to reach and the only reason I get good responses from them is because I eventually got a direct contact.

Hey Brian, this is a great question. Not one we very often but the Leer Quad Fold part #LE67FR has really narrow rails that attach to the inner side of your bed rails so that would give you the least amount of affected turning clearance for your 2025…

Hard to say for sure given the differences in 5th wheel noses but that's a pretty safe assumption you're going to run into clearance issues with a folding tonneau cover like item #e45DR. A better folding cover option would be the BAKFlip G2…

Hey Paul; the Thule TracRac SR #TH43002XT-780 is a really nice rack and a great choice for your 2025 Sierra 2500. Since this installs on top of the bed rails you will need a tonneau cover that mounts inside the bed rails. Also, since the uprights…
