How Do I Know if I Have a Deck Rail System on My 2019 Toyota Tundra?

Toyota Tundra Owner: I had sent an email to you regarding the BAKFlip MX4.

Peter: Okay. What truck was it for?

Toyota Tundra Owner: It's for a 2019 Toyota Tundra double cab with the six and a half foot bed.


Peter: Okay. Were we talking this afternoon on email?

Toyota Tundra Owner: No, I think you sent an email, but I actually didn't send you an email. I guess I must have filled out the form on your site? I put my email address in your site, and it came up with an offer.

Peter: Okay. Yeah, I can honor that price. Also, it's free shipping and there's no sales tax if you're ordering from outside of Arizona.

Toyota Tundra Owner: And you'll throw in that tailgate seal kit for the tailgate?

Peter: I will. Do you have the deck rail system in the bed?

Toyota Tundra Owner: Yeah, I do have deck rails.

Peter: Okay. So 2019 Tundra, six and a half foot bed, with the deck rail system.

Toyota Tundra Owner: When they call that a deck rail, they're talking about the tie down system and all that?

Peter: Yes. 

Toyota Tundra Owner: Ok let's get this MX4 ordered

Peter: Ok I'll get this shipped out to you.

Does Extang or BAK Have the Best Tonneau Cover for a 2018 Ford F-150?

Ford F-150 Owner: I went and looked at that Extang. So, that one doesn't fold up all three sections, right? It just unfolds the back two, so it doesn't flip up against the back window?


Sean: Correct. So, if you plan on driving with it open very often, you can't do it. But, the good part about the Extang, I don't know if you looked at the install video, there's no rails. It just literally clamps on to the sides of your bed, so you can have thing off there in three minutes.

Ford F-150 Owner: Okay. What about the MX4, does that one come off fairly easy or no?


Sean: Yeah, they both come off fairly easy. The MX4, you probably wouldn't need to take it off. But, let's assume that you do, all you have to do is just lift the cover towards leaning up against the cab, and then reach your hand underneath and loosen the star knob that's underneath, and the elevator bolt that goes through the top of the cover will pop right out, and then the whole cover just lifts right off the rails. The covers are held on to the rails at the front with a bracket. The elevator bolt goes through the left and right side, and then star knobs tighten it down. So, it's an easy as removing those and it pop right off.

Ford F-150 Owner: Okay. But on the Extang do you think it's better as far as water resistance?


Sean: If you install it properly it does a pretty good job. With the MX4 you get the drain tubes for the bed of your truck. So, that means either using an existing hole in the very front. Older trucks used to have the black plastic piece, I'm not sure on the newer trucks. But, you just pop one of those out, or you drill small hole through there. Or you can actually drill it through the bed of your truck. But, a lot less people want to do that.

Ford F-150 Owner: Yeah. I wouldn't want to drill in the bed of my truck either.

Sean: Right. I get it. But, in order to keep that water out, they do design them to where the water is supposed to go to the channels in the rails, which pushes it through the drain tubes, and out of the bed.

Ford F-150 Owner: Right. That's cool. I think maybe I'll stick with that MX4. Is the only difference between the MX4 and the G2 that one has 4 segments and the other has 3?

Sean: No, the G2 and the MX4 are night and day. The G2 is going to be the shiny finish. The panels aren't as thick, so they're not as dent proof. Its only rated for 300 pounds, while the MX4 is 400. The MX4 has a dual-action tailgate seal. You can open and close the tailgate without having to open the last handle of the cover. So, yeah, I could go on and on. The MX4 is far better.

Ford F-150 Owner: Okay. That's all I needed to know. Okay, let me verify my bed length so I don't order this thing and find out how I was wrong.

Sean: Yeah you don't want to shoot yourself in the foot.

Ford F-150 Owner: One of the reviews said you guys offer a tailgate seal kit?

Sean: Yeah, I'll send you a tailgate seal. What was the truck again?

Ford F-150 Owner: Its a 2018 Ford F-150.

Sean: Okay.

Ford F-150 Owner: So when I measure my bed, am I supposed to just measure the inside dimensions from the inside of the bed to the inside of the tailgate?

Sean: Yeah, inside of the bowl and inside the tailgate, so the very front of your bed. And if it's the big crew, you know, with the full four doors, it could be a 5.7

Ford F-150 Owner: Yep. That's what I got. Well then let's go ahead and get the MX4 ordered.

Sean: Okay I'll go ahead and get this shipped out. We should be good to go!

Ford F-150 Owner: Cool. Okay. Sounds good.

Does Having a Deck Rail System on a 2014 Tundra Double Cab Change the Price of a Tonneau Cover?

Toyota Tundra Owner: I was speaking to Pete via email about the BAKflip MX 4 Cover, and he asked a question about a deck rail. I just got a 2014 Tundra pick-up truck, a double cab, and I wasn't sure exactly what he meant by a deck rail system inside the bed.


Shawn: So, inside of your bed, if you have the rail system, you'll have those tie down cleats. Is that something that you have?

Toyota Tundra Owner: Yeah, then I guess I do have a deck rail system.

Shawn: Okay. Yeah, that changes the price a little bit because there's a different kit that goes with that. Hold on one second here.

Toyota Tundra Owner: Oh, okay. I think he might have misunderstood me. I told him I had something inside. But I thought you meant those bars on top of the actual cab. The bed. Because some trucks have those big bars that go across, that run the bed length. But I don't have that. But I do have the adjustable tie downs inside the bed, up top, I think on the side.

Shawn: You said it's a 2014 Tundra?

Toyota Tundra Owner: Yeah. 2014 Tundra, double cab.

Shawn: What size bed?

Toyota Tundra Owner: I believe it's a 6.6. It's not the short bed, it's the one in between the short and the long bed. So I believe it's the 6.6 one. It's a limited edition, if that makes any difference. But I'm assuming not.

Shawn: No, the only thing we go off is the year, make, model, and bed size. So, for the deck rail you're looking at an extra $40.

Toyota Tundra Owner: That's still not too bad. It's a little bit cheaper than online, that's for sure. Let's do it. 

Shawn: All right, I'll go ahead and get you checked out and get everything shipped.

Toyota Tundra Owner: Okay, appreciate that. Thank you very much.

Peter: Yes, absolutely. It's designed for that purpose.

RAM Owner: Because it's a four fold instead of a three fold, right?
