FAQ — BAKFlip G2

Does the BAKFlip G2 Require Drilling for Installation for a 2006 Ford F150?

Ford F150 Owner: Hey, I was just returning your email from over the weekend looking for a tonneau cover for a 2006 Ford F-150.

Ford F150 Owner: I want to say it's six, six and a half foot bed.

Ford F150 Owner: I think it was the BAKFlip G2.

Ford F150 Owner: You sent a price like in your email to me as well.

Ford F150 Owner: Yeah, but I have a question. With the 2006 I know it's different than the 2009. So, just as long as that's the right one. Yeah, let's do it.

Ford F150 Owner: The BAKFlip G2 doesn't require any drilling for installation, right?

Is the BAKFlip MX4 One of The Best Tonneau Covers on The Market for a 2019 Chevy El Dorado?

Chevy Owner: Hi, I'm inquiring about a tonneau cover for my truck. I just got your email with a price quote.

Chevy Owner: For a 2019 Chevy El Dorado. Crew cab with a short bed.

Chevy Owner: So I'm looking for a hard cover tonneau, looking at some of the different ones you recommended. The BAKFlip?

Chevy Owner: The G2 or something?

Chevy Owner: That one or something similar to that. I like that one because it looks like it sits pretty flush compared to some of the other ones that you guys recommended.

Chevy Owner: Okay. Sounds pretty good. I know there was one that's a little upgrade from the G2.

Chevy Owner: Okay. So the aluminum is a little bit thicker gauge or something like that?

Chevy Owner: But the mechanism and the folding versatility is pretty much the same?

Chevy Owner: Okay. Is there anything comparable or somewhat similar in a hard cover that can fold for a lower price than what you quoted me?

Chevy Owner: Okay. So it's probably the best value for the money, that's what you're saying?

Chevy Owner: Okay. In your opinion is the BAKFlip MX4 one of the best tonneau covers on the market? 

Chevy Owner: If I place that order how long does it take for you guys to ship that out, do you guys carry them or?

Chevy Owner: I'm gonna order the MX4, but I'll have to call you a little bit later. 

BAK FiberMAX vs BAKFlip MX4 for a 2019 Dodge Ram With a 5'7 Bed

Dodge Ram Owner: I have a couple of questions about the cover you just sent me an email. I had originally inquired about the BAK FiberMAX.

Dodge Ram Owner: I've had a couple of them on my previous vehicles. I had a 2013 Ram and I know that after about, I don't know, it was like a year, I had to call in a warranty claim. They covered it with no issues whatsoever, and they went ahead and sent me out a new cover.

Dodge Ram Owner: I have a couple of friends that also have the FiberMAX and they had the same issue as well. I don't know if it was an issue with manufacturing, or if it was material issue or what, but the cover got these real fine cracks in it in between the texture of the FiberMAX cover.

Dodge Ram Owner: and I guess water would get inside the FiberMAX cover and create an issue with swelling, you know?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Right

Dodge Ram Owner: With that being said, has that issue been addressed already or is it that an ongoing issue? I think what's causing the crack is that it gets very hot down here in Florida and we have a lot of humidity. We get thunderstorms that come out of nowhere plus 100 degree weather. So you're talking rain water hitting a super hot surface. I guess that would cause little tiny fractures in the material. 

Tonneau Covered Agent: I've heard of that occurring, I don't believe it's been addressed. I'm not positive on that, but I know that that doesn't happen with the aluminum covers like the BAKFlip MX4.

Dodge Ram Owner: Right. The only downside to the aluminum though that I don't like is that you toss something on the bed of your truck real quick and it dents.

Tonneau Covered Agent: I see.

Dodge Ram Owner: So between those 2 covers you either face the FiberMAX issue or you face the issue with something getting tossed on your bed and denting it. Once it's dented, that's it. There's nothing can be done about it.

Tonneau Covered Agent: Right

Dodge Ram Owner: So it's a give and take. With that being said, that MX4 cover, is that cover a more expensive cover, or is that a cheaper cover than the FiberMAX? I thought the FiberMAX was the more heavier duty one.

Tonneau Covered Agent: So the FiberMAX does stand up to denting better than the aluminum, but the MX4 does cost more. What truck was this for again?

Dodge Ram Owner: It's for a 2019 Dodge Ram, with a 5'7 bed

Tonneau Covered Agent: Okay

Dodge Ram Owner: When I read about the FiberMAX they're saying that the FiberMAX is more durable than the MX4, but the MX4 is more durable than the G2. Is that correct? 

Tonneau Covered Agent: That's correct. Yeah, the MX4 is kind of its own animal. It's the most popular tonneau cover on the market, period. So pricing gets a little more competitive.

Dodge Ram Owner: Because the MX4 is the more popular option?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yes, exactly.

Dodge Ram Owner: Okay. I saw a video on YouTube about a feature that I wasn't sure if they were incorporating yet. They were showing the MX4 and I'm sure it's going to be the same thing with the G2 or the FiberMAX, that they have a new system where it automatically holds the top up. It locks it in place rather than to have the back arm to put it in the little slot there and tighten down the handle. Has that been incorporated into these tops yet?

Tonneau Covered Agent: No, it hasn't. They've been talking about that for 2 years but it has not yet.

Dodge Ram Owner: Okay, yeah I know because I saw a video and I was like oh wait a minute, they got a new locking mechanism where it automatically locks.

Tonneau Covered Agent: Right

Dodge Ram Owner: So that hasn't been put in yet. Alrighty, so on the FiberMAX. Does that still comes with a three year warranty or no?

Tonneau Covered Agent: It's a 2 year warranty

Dodge Ram Owner: Oh it's a 2 year. Okay. So, then the FiberMAX is a 2 year warranty and the MX4 is a 3 year warranty?

Tonneau Covered Agent: That's right

Dodge Ram Owner: Okay, alright and the 3 year covers on the MX4 obviously doesn't cover dents because it's user error, correct?

Tonneau Covered Agent: That's right.

Dodge Ram Owner: Because I'm still leaning toward the FiberMAX even though I've had that, I've had that issue but it's just one of those things where I'm like I don't know if I want to have to deal with the cracks again or if I want to take the chance and go with the aluminum and then take the chance in getting the top dented even though it shouldn't realistically.

Tonneau Covered Agent: Right.

Dodge Ram Owner: So that's something I have to think of real quick. I need to figure out if I want the BAKFlip MX4 or the FiberMAX. I'll give you a call back.

Tonneau Covered Agent: Okay, sounds good, we'll talk to you soon.
