Truck bed covers

I have the low profile trifold one from Rough Country that I really like. I use it from May thru August. Once huntng season gets here the ARE camper shell goes on. That camper shell is some of the best money I've ever spent towards hunting

Bakflip mx4 here. Love it. No ragerts

bakflip's will leak. Most of these folding or retractable are going to leak/drip in spots.


I wish i had just did the whole fiberglass over the lip covers on my truck way back when. Only thing that kept me was i put a 4 wheeler back there sometimes. i have a retractable cover now, its a bit better than previous trifold bakflip.

I got the F1 about 5 years ago. It is starting to show its age, you can tell the fiberglass is wearing. Starting to see white through the black exterior paint. Not sure what the other models look like after 5 years.

In my experience this bedcover keeps about 80-90% of rain water out (I installed the drains for the rails.) I have beat it up pretty good. Had it folded all the way up, drove down the interstate, didn't secure it and it folded out, slammed down and latched shut. Its out of alignment a little now and the latches are a little sticky but still works fine.

I just got the bakflip mx4 for my carbon pro bed. Laid it all out to put in, then read directions, there is disassembly, drilling into the bed sides and about 20 little clippys. It is back in the box, going to have to pay an installer but have no real hope it will be tough enough mounted to those little flimsy looking clips. We will see.

I went through this process last year and decided on the Undercover Armor Flex. It's made of polymer, not aluminum, and it's Line-X coated top and bottom. Bone dry also.

I have a few friends with MX4's and one with the G2 and the Armor Flex is superior to those, although I do have a friend who has had his MX4 for 5 or 6 years and it's still going strong, but has some dents and scratches.

The Armor Flex is a few hundred bucks more than the Bakflip MX4 most places online, but the out the door price on tonneaucovered . com was less than the MX4 on other websites. Give them a call and get a price. Ordering process was a breeze. No shipping fees or tax in Louisiana, not sure about Texas.

Whatever you settle on I recommend going with one with a back seal that allows you to close the tailgate with the cover closed. Some tri-folds require you to raise the cover to close the tailgate.

That must be truck specific. I had mine installed on my f250 in about 15 min.

What do you like about it? I’m considering getting an RSI smart cap put on mine for a move up north

I put a MX4 on my new ram w/ramboxes and have been very happy with it.
Fits the bed well and haven’t had too much issue with leaks. (There is a little gap at the gate where the tailgate meets the ramboxes that has potential to leak, but that’s a truck design issue and not the covers)

I like that I can fold it 2/3’s of the way so as to use the bed for taller items and still be able to see out the back window.
