Is the BAKFlip MX4 for a 2019 GMC Sierra Scratch Resistant and Secure?

GMC Sierra Owner: Yes, I just got pricing online for your BAKFlip MX-4

Shawn: Okay, did you want go ahead and place an order for one of those today?

GMC Sierra Owner: Well I'm not sure. I've never seen this one and I was looking at your website and people had several different ones on there. And I didn't know if I like the idea of this one being able to flip up one, two or three and lock in place. Do you have others like that?

Shawn: We do, but the BAKFlip MX4 is actually one of the best on the market. 

GMC Sierra Owner: Oh okay. So is the MX4 kind of a matte, scratch-resistant, non-fade out looking thing?

Shawn: Correct, yeah. It's got the heavy duty aluminum panel so they're dent resistant, scratch resistant. It's got the dual action tailgate seal where you can open and close your tailgate without opening the cover.

GMC Sierra Owner: So if I shut the tailgate and lock it is someone going to be able to get into this? Or is it secure?

Shawn: If they want to bad enough they'll be able to get into anything. But in theory, no, you have to have the tailgate open in order to operate the mechanism.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay 'cause I drive an Avalanche now and I'm just getting rid of it, it's a GMC but I can't get that locking Avalanche thing. And so okay, let's see, yeah I'd like to have one delivered I guess. What all do you need?

Shawn: Okay so what, you said you've got a GMC?

GMC Sierra Owner: Yeah I have a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500, it's the crew cab with the short bed. And I'm not sure if it's five and a half, or five foot eight. Do I need to go measure it real quick? Yeah it's the new body style, 2019.

Shawn: No it's fine, what you've given me is plenty. Short bed, it's either gonna be a short bed or a standard and standard is six and a half, and you'd know if it was that.

GMC Sierra Owner: Yeah it's not that. I measured outside and I couldn't tell if it was five foot five or five foot six. I don't know if you measure from inside or outside or what.

Shawn: Yeah they do it from the inside of the tailgate to the outside, inside of the bulkhead to the inside of the tailgate.

GMC Sierra Owner: I know that BAKFlip makes a G2 or something, but it's kind of a shiny rough finish isn't it? Or do you not carry that one?

Shawn: Yeah, no the G2, it's a shiny finish and then it's also got thinner panels. It doesn't have that seal that you can open and close your tailgate. You got the good one.

GMC Sierra Owner: Good, okay 'cause I've never seen this and I just want to make sure 'cause I really like that Avalanche I have the way it's done. Okay well I appreciate all your time and help.

Shawn: You got it. Have a good day my friend.

Does the BAKFlip G2 for a 2015 Ford F250 Crew Cab Come With a Lock?

F250 Owner: Okay. I just received an email about the BAKFlip G2 Tonneau Cover.

Sean: Okay. Do you want to place an order for one of those?

F250 Owner: Well, I had some questions about the cover first.

Sean: Whatcha got?

F250 Owner: What type of key and lock comes with that? Is it a hardened lock?

Sean: There are no locks on the covers, but you can't open the cover with your tailgate locked, so as long as you have a tailgate lock, you are good to go.

F250 Owner: Okay. Does this come with the dust cover, between the Tonneau Cover and the tailgate?

Sean: Sure, I can throw a tailgate seal in there for you.

F250 Owner: Okay. You quoted me free shipping. Is that still available?

Sean: Yes sir. What kind of truck is it?

F250 Owner: It's a 2015 Ford F250 Crew Cab six foot nine box. Can I order a little later today?

Sean: Well here's what I'll do. I'm going to e-mail you with a form and should you want to do it yourself you'll have that option, and if you want to call us back I can help you that way too.

What's the Best Tonneau Cover That's Waterproof and Secure for a 2017 GMC Canyon?

GMC Owner: I wanted to touch base with you. Got a 2017 GMC Canyon Duramax long bed and I don't really know about if there's advantages of the different tonneau covers. But I've got a GMC bedliner that's kind of a plastic one and there's a cover over the edge of the bed as well as the tailgate. I'm sure that probably has an impact on the installation or whatever needs to happen for the tonneau cover.

Peter: Yeah.

GMC Owner: So why don't you give the low down...here's what I'm looking for in terms of a tonneau cover. I want something that's going to, as you mentioned, keep things dry. But I also want something that's not going to be sliceable with a knife. Basically, what's the best waterproof cover that is also good on security?

Peter: So, you're going to want a hardcover.

GMC Owner: Yeah. Because my friends and I, if we go golfing, there'd be four bags of golf clubs when we go to the restaurant or something like that afterwards. And the last thing we need is expensive clubs disappearing.

Peter: Of course, yeah. So, by far the most popular is going to be the BAKFlip MX4. We sell more of those than anything. It's super well reviewed, it's very water resistant. When your tailgate is locked, the cover is locked and secure. And it sits flush inside the bedrail so it's got that really low-profile appearance. That's a really good option. And it's a tri fold, but it can fold completely.

GMC Owner: Is it complicated to install? I think I watched a video on that last night, if it's the same one.

Peter: It's real straight forward. Probably takes 30 minutes. Just clamp the rails on, get the drain tubes in and you're done. It's real simple.

GMC Owner: Okay. So, in order to order that, what do? Just contact you on the phone or is that how we do it?

Peter: Yeah, just give me a call and then we'll get it in for shipping and get it on the way.

GMC Owner: All right, and is this a discounted price? Or is this what?

Peter: It is. I think it's the lowest price anywhere by an authorized dealer. I mean, you can just Google it and see. But I'm beating most places by at least $100. So just give me a call when you're ready.

What is the Most Popular Hard Folding Cover for a 2017 Ford F-250 with a 6'9 Bed?

F-250 Owner: Hey, I got your message here. I was looking at a bed cover for a 2017 Ford F-250 with a 6'9 bed.

Peter: Okay, got it. And which cover were we looking at?

F-250 Owner: I kind of like the BAKFlips.

Peter: Okay. Do you know which model?

F-250 Owner: The hard folding one, I know that. I don't remember what model it is, but I do know I want it to be a hard cover that folds for sure.

Peter: Yeah, they make a few of those, but the most popular hard folding cover is going to be the BAKFlip MX4. It's free shipping and there's no sales tax if you're ordering from outside of Arizona.

F-250 Owner: Okay. Yeah, cause you have been emailing me a little bit back on them, and you quoted me a price already. But that's just probably a little more than I want to spend right now on a one.

Peter: Okay. The BAKFlip G2 is a little bit less expensive. I will send you a price quote right now.

F-250 Owner: Okay. Yeah. What's your best price you can do on both of those covers?

Peter: Those are my best prices.

F-250 Owner: Do they still make the VP?

Peter: They might still make it, but we do not sell it anymore. They were having some issues with it, so we stopped selling it.

F-250 Owner: All right. Let me give this some thought. Like I said, I'm not sure what I have to spend on one right now.

Peter: Okay. Yeah. Let me know.

What's The Difference Between The MX4 and Ultra Flex for a 2018 GMC Sierra Short Bed?

GMC Sierra Owner: Hi, Peter. I found y'all online looking up Tonneau covers. And I think I'm between the BAKFlip MX4, and the Undercover Ultra Flex. Could you help me?

Peter: Yeah. What truck is it for?

GMC Sierra Owner: It's for a 2018 GMC Sierra short bed. What's the difference between the MX4 and Ultra Flex?

Peter: Okay. They're very similar. I like the Undercover Ultra Flex. It has a longer warranty, so you've got a five-year warranty, where the MX4 has a three-year. And when you have it completely open, it doesn't rest against the cab like the MX4 does. But they're both really great covers. You can't go wrong with either.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. What is the price difference between them?

Peter: The Ultraflex is going to be about $40 more, but like I said, it has a longer warranty. It's free shipping on both and there's no sales tax if you're ordering from outside of Arizona.

GMC Sierra Owner: Is one more durable than the other, or they about the same?

Peter: No, they're the same.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. All right. I guess I'll go with the Undercover Ultra Flex then.

Peter: Okay. I'm going to get this shipped out today. You should have it by Thursday or Friday.

GMC Sierra Owner: Wow! That's great! I just got an email confirmation.

Peter: Yeah! And you're all set.
