Is There a Price Difference Between the BAKFlip F1 and the MX4?

Ram Owner: I talked to you earlier and you mentioned that BAKflip tonneau cover. I was looking at that MX4. What's the difference between the MX4 and F1? I have a 2017 Dodge Ram 1500.

Peter: It's just the material they're made of. So the MX4 is aluminum and the F1 is a fiberglass reinforced polymer. So it, in theory, can stand up to denting a little bit better than the aluminum.

Ram Owner: Is there a price difference between the F1 and the MX4?

Peter: Yeah about a $10 difference.

Ram Owner: Is that like a matte black finish or is that a shiny black finish?

Peter: It's kind of in-between. I wouldn't call it a high gloss and it's not a matte. It's kind of in-between.

Ram Owner: Okay. Alrighty. Well, I'm going to try to go home tonight and I'm going to measure my truck bed. I think that's the route I'm going to go. I think I also want that Bed Tread Impact Mat. Unless there was another one there that you can tell me is any different or any better there.

Peter: I really like that one. I've sold a lot of them recently. I've had customers review it very highly, so I've got a lot of confidence in that one.

Ram Owner: Okay. So then I'm not really worried about the sides. I think it had like a carpet for the sides on one of them, but not really concerned about that. Just worried about the bed bottom there.

Peter: Sure.

Ram Owner: Okay. Well, once again, I'll probably be getting back with you. You've been very helpful and explaining this stuff to me.

Peter: Yeah, no problem.

What Material is the Bedrug Made Out Of?

Ram Owner: I spoke with you earlier about the 2017 Ram 1500. You had mentioned you could get a mat from Bedrug. Which particular mat is it that you can get?

Peter: I carry their whole line.

Ram Owner: Oh, really? Okay. I'm looking at here, it's called a Bedrug or Bed Tread Impact Bed Mat.

Peter: Okay. Let's see. Did you just want the mat or do you want to cover the tailgate too?

Ram Owner: Yeah, well I guess this one comes with the tailgate also.

Peter: Actually, yeah. I think you're right. Yeah. Yes it does. Okay. Yeah, I've got that one.

Ram Owner: What is that material that the Bedrug is made out of?

Peter: It's like a anti-skid TPO composite. It's probably like a really kind of durable mix of rubber and plastic. But yeah, this is a newer product, but it's starting to really grow in popularity as it gets more reviews.

Ram Owner: Okay. And can you tell if that mat or the divider there for the tailgate, does that always stay in place?

Peter: It does.

Ram Owner: Okay. Okay. So I've got to check my bed length. I think it is a five seven but I want to make sure.

Peter: Okay. Sounds good. Feel free to give me a call back later on. 

What's a Truck Bed Mat That's Comparable to the Access Mat?

Dodge Ram Owner: I just received a quote from you guys for a tonneau cover and I got a couple of questions regarding it.

Peter: Okay.

Dodge Ram Owner: It was for the Lomax, Access Lomax.

Peter: Okay.

Dodge Ram Owner: You quoted me a price, but is that including the shipping?

Peter: Yeah, it's free shipping and there's no sales tax.

Dodge Ram Owner: No sales tax. What can you do for the bed liner? There's an Access truck bed mat for that same truck. Do you guys offer bulk discounts on your truck accessories?

Peter: Let me see. What truck is it for?

Dodge Ram Owner: It's a 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5'7 bed.

Peter: Okay, no Ram boxes?

Dodge Ram Owner: No Ram boxes.

Peter: Okay. The truck bed mat, let's see. I actually do not carry that mat, unfortunately.

Dodge Ram Owner: The Access truck bed mat? What's a truck bed mat that's comparable to the Access one?

Peter: I'm not really familiar with that as we don't sell it, but a popular choice is the DeeZee heavyweight rubber mat. It's a little bit thicker than your average mat. That one goes for $95, and it's a custom fit.

Dodge Ram Owner: Okay, so is there a possibility you could order the Access truck mat.

Peter: No, unfortunately not, no.

Dodge Ram Owner: Okay, alrighty. But the only thing you've got for a truck mat is going to be that hard rubber mat, then?

Peter: That's right, or a Bedrug bed mat.

Dodge Ram Owner: Bedrug, that's what I was talking about. What's the Bed Rug?

Peter: Okay, Bed Rug. It's a brand and it feels like a really thin carpet, but it's actually made of a plastic so it's really durable.

Dodge Ram Owner: Can I see this online?

Peter: Yeah, bedrug.com right there. They've got a few different types of them and they have liners as well.

Dodge Ram Owner: Okay, I can look at that and then I can purchase that through you if I want to go that route, too? If so, I'll get back to you later today.

Peter: Yeah, absolutely. You can call me any time.

What Should I Know Before Installing an Undercover Ultra Flex on My 2017 Dodge Ram?

Dodge Ram Owner: I am interested in ordering a tonneau cover for a 2017 Dodge Ram with a 5 foot, seven inch bed.

Peter: Okay.

Dodge Ram Owner: I'm looking for the UnderCover Ultra Flex. I'm looking at the email that you sent back to me.

Peter: Okay. Yeah, I've got it. It's free shipping and there's no sales tax if you're ordering from outside of Arizona.

Dodge Ram Owner: Okay. That is the one that... Let me read the email, because you sent me this email a while back, like in December. Yeah, it goes five foot, seven inch UnderCover Ultra Flex. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the one. Okay, do you need my credit card or something for that?

Peter: Yeah. I can get you going here. I'm going to get this shipped out today.

Dodge Ram Owner: Okay. Is there anything I should know before I try to install the cover?

Peter: Yes, before you install it, just make sure that nothing was damaged in shipping.

Dodge Ram Owner: Okay. Is it common to find damage on a tonneau cover when it arrives?

Peter: It's really rare for that to happen, but it does happen occassionally. But if anything were damaged, don't install it. Just call me, we'll take care of it.
