How Heavy are the Flips in the Tri-Fold of the BAKFlip MX4?

GMC Owner: I saw your advertisement on the Internet and I got a price quote. I'm looking for a bed cover for my wife's pickup and I was wondering if you can help me out.

Peter: Yeah, definitely. What truck is it for?

GMC Owner: It's a 2018 GMC pickup.

Peter: Okay.

GMC Owner: 5'9" or 5'8" bed.

Peter: Okay. The short one. Got It. Was there a particular model you were looking at?

GMC Owner: Well, yeah, I'm looking at two here. The BAKflip MX4 and they're RetraxPRO MX.

Peter: Okay, great. Yeah, the MX4 is my favorite folding cover and the RetraxPRO MX is the best retractable.

GMC Owner: Your pricing is about $300 cheaper than, what I've been seeing elsewhere.

Peter: Yeah. We're known for our pricing here.

GMC Owner: Yeah. Let me ask you about that and that MX4 BAKflip is that, I mean that was pretty sturdy bed cover.

Peter: Absolutely. Yeah. It can hold like 400 pounds on top. It's really heavy-duty.

GMC Owner: Okay, okay. Well, let me ask you a question here on this. I mean because I really like the Retrax, but the price is obviously higher. The only thing I worry about with the BAKflip is my wife being able to flip it. I think she can flip the first one, but then when it comes to the second one. How heavy are those, flips?

Peter: I mean, I honestly, I don't think she'll have a problem. I have many customers who buy these for their wives trucks and never hear about it being an issue. I think she'd be okay with the Retrax, too. Just remember with a short bed that the canister, that the cover retract into is going to take up about 10 inches by 10 inches by the width of the bed.

GMC Owner: Oh, that's right. So, you lose that bed space then.

Peter: Right.

GMC Owner: All right. Okay. Well, that's okay. That's more appealing than to the BAKflip. Okay. Well, Peter, can I call you back here and say in an hour.

Peter: Yeah, no problem.

GMC Owner: I wanted to ask about floor mats. Do you guys carry the factory type, heavy duty floor mats? Or WeatherTech? Or, what?

Paul: We do carry WeatherTech.

GMC Owner: I was looking on your website, and it only goes up to 2016. Can you help me order the right ones for my truck?

Paul: Absolutely. What kind of truck do you have? 

GMC Owner: 2018 GMC Sierra crew cab.

Paul: Do you have a console? All the way to the dash?

GMC Owner: Yeah, it's all the way to the dash.

Paul: Okay. And then no manual 4 X 4 on the floor, right?

GMC Owner: Nope. No manual 4X4

Paul: Okay. You want first row, second row, or both? 

GMC Owner: First and second row, please. 

Paul: Okay, do you need full coverage? It's looks like there's full coverage, and then there is just floor mats for the floor. So do you want it to go up underneath the seats as well?

GMC Owner: Probably not.

Paul: Okay. And, I assume black?

GMC Owner: No, actually it's cocoa and sand interior. Sort of a tan, yeah.

Paul: I have cocoa, and I have tan.

GMC Owner: Let's go with the cocoa ... That's what the carpet mats that came in it are; dark brown. What's the difference in the ones that go up under the backseat?

Best Tonneau Cover for a 2018 GMC Crew Cab Short Bed: BAKFlip MX4 vs G2

GMC Owner: I just bought a new truck recently, a 2018 GMC, and I'm looking to get a tonneau cover

Paul: Okay. So it's a 2018 GMC with what size bed?

GMC Owner: Crew cab short bed

Paul: Alright now I recommend the MX4 which is one of the newest ones out
.

GMC Owner: What's the difference between the MX4 and the G2?

Paul: The G2 is gonna be cheaper, but its panels aren't as thick as the MX4, so the MX4 is a bit more dent resistant. The finish on its shiny instead of the matte black, the tailgate seal is a flap tailgate seal instead of a dual tailgate seal which allows you to open and close your tailgate without having to open up your cover. On the G2 you're gonna have to open up your cover every time you wanna shut that tailgate

GMC Owner: That's a good plus for the MX4. What about the warranty?

Paul: The warranty on the MX is a three year where there's only a two year on the G2.

GMC Owner: Okay, well that pretty much seals the deal. You said it's the matte satin finish instead of shiny?

Paul: Correct. If you have bed roll caps on there it should match those pretty nice.

GMC Owner: I do. Alright and that's free shipping for what I understand right?

Paul: Free shipping and no tax outside of Arizona.

GMC Owner: Good deal. Well can I go ahead and order one?

Paul: Yes, sir
