BAKFlip 448539 MX4 (GEN 3) Hard Folding Tonneau Cover Fits 22-26 Nissan Frontier 6'1" Bed

I went from a ARE fiberglass lid to this. . . Which limits you extremely. . The MX4 cover looks really good. . . . Easy install. . locks with tailgate. . Was missing one screw for the buckle latch, no biggie. . . never throw out extra hardware from any install!! Overall happy with product

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 just installed my cover and it looks great. It was a very easy installation. The only part about the cover I dislike is once I put the cover on and looked around the whole thing the spots where it folds were a little torn up. Being brand new that shouldn't be like that.

4 inch long rubber bumpers that the cover edge sits on while fully open, not affixed very well. They were low quality adhesive. Cleaned off and used 3M trim double sided tape to fix. Stuck well now. Was disappointed to to see latches were plastic. Overall, product will work.

I specifically order this because it stated “rapid ship” and indicated it would ship on the day I placed the order. I waited for 4 days and there was no shipping information. It took forever to get through to customer service who could not resolve the issue. I waited a couple more days and was finally told it would ship the next day. Then I had and issue with one of the rubber bumpers that came off and again called customer service who said they would refer it to the BakFlip team and they would reach out to me. That was last week and I have yet to hear back from anyone.

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 tried to communicate this with Realtruck, but there was too much red tape to make it worthwhile. There is a MAJOR issue with the written instructions that come with the cover that I purchased. No where in the instructions does it say that the clamps that hold the rail onto the bed should snap into the rail. If you don't snap them into the rail then the whole thing does not work at all. It will not latch and close up. I had to search Youtube in order to find this.

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.

This company knowingly shipped me the bakflip mx4 with rails that didn't fit my truck (2024 Tacoma 5') with zero communication. When I contacted them they say the rails are under review and no ship date is planned. Total scam! Do not buy from these folks and stay away from bakflip if you plan to actually have this system on your truck
