BAKFlip 448328 MX4 (GEN 3) Hard Folding Tonneau Cover Fits 2015-2020 Ford F150 8' Bed

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.

My only "problem" which it wasn't for my nephew was the pre-drilling of the hole in the plastic lip of the top body cover. A guide that would not require the clip be in place would have made this installation a bit easier for an old guy with kneeling issues like me. My nephew handled it with ease.

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.

My husband is pleased with the truck bed cover. My only complaints is that communication was lacking. We were up against a time crunch and after a week we had not received a shipping notice and i reached out for an update and received a reply that our order was processing. We never received a shipping notice and the cover showed up last week.

I have the newer version bakflip mx4 for a 22 tacoma. First of they sent it to me with missing parts then it took them weeks to send them to me. The bed cover is ok. Installation was a nightmare to get everything on properly, and still somehow one side sits a 1/4 inch higher by the tailgate. It should come over the tailgate further and sit lower also, water is able to get in that space and someone could stick something in there to hook around the cable to open the bed cover. Overall it all just seems overpriced, every aspect of the bed cover and experience feels like it should be half the price. After doing some research it sounds like this product is going down hill from what it used to be, driven by the greedy people behind it I imagine. I would recommend looking elsewhere, I'm sure there are more affordable and/or better quality options out there.

I took it to a professional install place for BakFlip. They say the parts for 2025 pro 4X was not great . They had to adjust finally got it to shut. But they told me today to reach out to you and say it not a normal installation. ( I try to reach customer service but it was a 30 plus min wait. Today 6/4/25

I had a 2017 Ridgeline and loved the Bakflip. Purchased 2025 Ridgeline and a new Bakflip and could not get it mounted - rails are not as sturdy and I found others online with similar issues. Went back and mounted the 2017 Bakflip onto the 2025 Ridgeline and it was simple and easy. RealTruck really needs to look at the design of the rail systems.

Well let's see. It's been over a month since I placed my order. When I placed my order, the product was supposedly in stock and ready to ship. Still nothing. I am going to cancel my order and get the same bed cover from someone else. But since you asked for a review, here it is.

Canceled my order because it wasn't available. Although after a couple weeks the cancelation is still pending. I no longer trust this company. I simply wanted to cancel and order something else or different make but was not going to until I knew my previous one was canceled. Been too long and I have moved on.

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.
