BAKFlip 448227RB MX4 (GEN 3) Hard Folding Tonneau Cover Fits 2019-2026 Ram 1500 NB 5'7" w/RB w/Silver Rails

Fairly easy install. The videos help a lot. I had a slight issue with the rails leaning down slightly after being tightened. This kept the latches from catching when unrolled. After re-installing several times to see if I'd done something wrong, I just used a pair channel locks and bent the rails ever so slightly where the latches would make contact. Just enough to get it to latch without actually being able to see it. Worked great from there out.

This is my 3rd BakFlip install over the past 9 years! I like how easy they are to install. I also like the low, clean appearance of the cover yet how secure they are from casual thieves etc. This new iteration feels lighter and better hinged. I like it!! My only complaint if you can call it that is that the 3 block bumpers have always resisted my attempts to peal the paper from the double sided tape that reveals the sticky side so you can install the bumps to the last panel that rest on the truck rear window. I can never get those to work properly.

I was able to install this at home in about an hour, following the YouTube video on the Real Truck website. That was SUPER helpful. Really pretty straightforward. Getting minimal leaks (and I think that's mostly from the gap in the existing tailgate) and I've used it now in 2/3 open and full-open positions to haul things. Looks great on my 2025 Ranger.

The BakFlip is a premium quality cover. I had one on a 19 Frontier and it was great. About 98% dry. I put a Gator folding cover on a 25 GMC Sierra 1500. That truck got totalled at 903 miles. I installed the Bakflip on my replacement 25 GMC Sierra 1500 last week. I prefer the matte finish on the BakFlip compared to the shiny satin finish on the Gator. Both covers required a little "tweaking" to get the latches to catch just right, The Gator design preferred that I close the tailgate with the top open. The BakFlip design works well both ways. That is I can close the tailgate with the cover open or closed. The BakFlip permits the whole folded cover to be flipped up to lean against the truck cab. This is necessary when hauling items like a motorcycle for example. In contrast the Gator cover must be removed since it does not flip up against the cab. In the past 3 months I have purchased both folding tonneau covers and installed them on identical 25 GMC 1500 Sierra pickups. While the BakFlip cost nearly twice as much, I would pay the greater amount again to have the advantages the BakFlip offers over the Gator and the Matte finish compliments my trucks trim better the the shiny satin Gator finish. For budget conscious folks the Gator is a good quality option that frankly is a better bang for the buck buy than the BakFlip. But it all comes down to preferences. The Gator was about 95% water tight. I cannot comment on the BakFlip since I've seen no rain since installation.

I really like the bed cover it is a great product. Installation is through a link and doesn't even bring you to the install. It is the main website. For the cost of the cover they can do much better on that side of selling the product. Otherwise an awesome bed cover.

Cover was missing installation components …needed to wait on that . One of the clips on the rail is broken it has been sitting in FedEx “shipping label created” for a week. Really slow to just get it fully functional . Ensuring the install kit is complete replacing things broken in shipment should not take so long Bak is really slow

Installation was much more difficult for the Maverick than what is indicated in the Realtruck video. For $1200 it would have been helpful for an instruction sheet specifically for this model to be included. The tolerances for the Bakflip are so precise that any small imperfections in the truck bed are problematic. The drivers side latched perfectly but the passenger side would not latch for all three latches. Yes, the railing was installed correctly and identically on both sides. Determined that the truck bed was slightly leaning in on the passenger side. Had to correct by placing a flat washer as a shim under each latching mechanism. Also, the thick pads included to protect the cab are not thick enough for the Maverick. When the bed cover is flipped up it rests on the cab and the pads do not reach the cab. The rear window is recessed from the cab frame and the pads do not reach the window. The only place where the pads would actually work are on the very edge of the cover, and then it would not be able to close.

I ordered my part almost a month ago. I have not received it. I tried numerous times to get an update with no success. I am heading out for an extended trip and I needed the topper. Now I have to consider not having the part I needed for my trip. To add insult to injury I am being asked how I like the part I never receive. Kind of silly. Not a great first experience of a company that is “apparently” highly regarded. I am not a person of high expectations I just would like to know if I will get my part in time to install it before my trip. They took my payment. Will they be just as eager to return it? We shall see in 2 days when I will demand a refund.

I set a tire on top and drove around the building, which is about 200 yards and that's a big circular scratch on it. I didn't realize I was buying something with such a soft surface where I wouldn't have. Truck denied my request to return it even though they have the monopoly the industry. I'm not impressed.

This cover does not align properly for all latches to click into place with out manually pressing up on the rails and down on the cover at the same time. It requires modification to the bed of a 2025 tundra for the drain hose to fit. It also leaks significantly from the corners closest to the cab which causes water to puddle where the drain hose goes through the bed. The water will not drain from the bed because the hose occupies the drain holes. I had a gator cover and never had these issues. I have reached out to Real Truck and BAK for support but was told by BAK that I had to go through Real Truck but website says same company. Real Truck is unresponsive.
