Toyota Tacoma Owner: I sent you a request for a quote that you responded back to by email.

Peter: Okay.

Toyota Tacoma Owner: My brother bought from you last week. He bought the BAKFlip MX4.

Peter: Okay.

Toyota Tacoma Owner: The one I guess that I'm inquiring about is the BAKFlip G2.

Peter: Okay what truck is it for?

Toyota Tacoma Owner: A 2001 Toyota Tacoma with a 5 foot bed.

Peter: Okay. So I've got the G2 in stock. It's free shipping and there's no sales tax if you're ordering from outside of Arizona.

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?

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

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

Should I Pick a BAK or EXTANG Tonneau Cover for a 2018 Ford F150?

F-150 Owner: I was calling in and looking into a tonneau cover.

Shawn: What kind of tonneau cover are you looking at?

F-150 Owner: Well I was looking at that BAKFlip, the four segment one. Forgot what it was called. The matte black one. 

Shawn: Okay, what kind of truck do you have?

F-150 Owner: I have a 2018 Ford F150. 5 foot 7 bed.

Shawn: Did you want to go ahead and place an order with me today on it?

F-150 Owner: Well, I was kind of looking. You guys have an elephant or one listed that you guys have just come out with?

Shawn: You know it didn't last very long.

F-150 Owner: Got you. Okay, yeah, because I was kind of poking around. The BAKFlips are, every review I looked at, the BAKFlip was up there, but I kept reading that they leak. And I was wondering if there's another one out there that would be comparable that doesn't leak or is that just inherent in that style.

Shawn: Well to prevent leaking you have to have the tonneau cover installed correctly and have all the seals laying like they should. You also will have the drain tubes. Just don't expect there to be no water whatsoever because it's not weather proof, it's weather resistant. If you wan't something that will stay drier, you're going to have to go with on top of the rails and I would suggest the extang that's Extang Solid Fold 2.0. It sits on top of the rails.

F-150 Owner: Okay. Well, that sounds good. Let me keep looking around at some other tonneau covers

Shawn: Alright man, check that out. Look at that solid fold. They are both really popular, they're owned by the same company. Kind of got to go with what you want in look and then what you want in functionality. That's just the honest opinion I have for you on those two.

F-150 Owner: You just said that. Okay, let me take a look at them and I'll give you a holler back.

Peter: Okay. What truck is it for?

Dodge Ram Owner: 2019 Dodge Ram Rebel. Short bed.

Peter: Okay, yep. We have a great price on that and there's no sales tax if you're ordering it from outside of Arizona.

Dodge Ram Owner: Okay. I saw something about a special pricing, or something. Is that it?

Dodge Ram Owner: Okay. All right. What's the deal with the the financing? You don't have to pay the whole thing right now?

How is the Undercover Flex Compared to the G2?

Ford F150 Owner: I hear this is the place to buy a tonneau cover for my pickup

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yes. What are you looking for?

Ford F150 Owner: I have a Ford F150 2014 Eco Boost. I need some advice too. I'm a painting contractor, and I've been looking at the hard covers, and I want a fold up cover I think.

Tonneau Covered Agent: Okay. No problem. 

Ford F150 Owner: What would you recommend? I think a roll up cover would be convenient, but I don't know if it would last as long, would it?

Tonneau Covered Agent: The hard folding covers you can get several years out of. The BAKFlips are the most popular. They're trifolds but they can fold completely up out of the bed and secure behind the cab so that you have full bed access. Those are the best reviewed, and they also sit flush inside the bed rail and have that really low profile look to them. It starts with the BAKFlip G2; it's made of aluminum and it's been around for a long time. It's free shipping and there's no sales tax if you're ordering from outside of Arizona. 

Ford F150 Owner: What about the Gator EVO? That's a five-fold. Is that cheaper?

Tonneau Covered Agent: I'm not sure. We don't sell Gator so I can't really speak to that. That's one of the only brands we don't sell.

Ford F150 Owner: How is the Undercover Flex compared to the G2?

Tonneau Covered Agent: That's almost an identical cover, except it's made of a different material. It's made of a fiberglass reinforced polymer, so it's actually going to be a little bit stronger than that aluminum of the G2. It'll stand up to denting and stuff like that much better.

Ford F150 Owner: Now when I was looking on the website it said one of them, I can't remember which one, had a free gift of the swing case, is that still going?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yeah, that was a rebate that ended, and it was with a different cover. And then they had one with the flex, but that ended.

Ford F150 Owner: Now, the G2 and the Undercover that we're talking about, do I need to put ladder racks on it or not? I was looking at ladder racks and I don't want to put a bolt on one and I don't want to be removing it, so they would work with one that would fit on the edge of the rail, right?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yeah. So BAK actually makes two. The BAKFlip CS or the BAKFlip CSF1. The CS is the G2 cover with the ladder rack assembly as well. Then the CSF1 is the F1 cover with the ladder racks, so that's a good option too.

Ford F150 Owner: Now, do you guys sell the ladder racks as well?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yeah, it's a whole unit. So it all comes together.

Ford F150 Owner: Now, if I was to get just the cover I could get a different rack system, right?

Tonneau Covered Agent: You could, yes. And because the BAKFlip cover and the undercover sits inside the bed rails, your stake pockets are still exposed so you can install the ladder rack in the stake pockets.

Ford F150 Owner: Right, stake pockets, yeah. Now, what kind of weight can they carry? I'd only be carrying the ladder, no lumber. What poundage do they rate for?

Tonneau Covered Agent: It just depends on which rack. 500 pounds on the back ones, but there are many different types of racks out there.

Ford F150 Owner: Right. So I guess I'm looking between the Undercover and the G2. Is there any one that you could give me a better deal on either of them? Because they're both basically the same, right?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yeah. Those are both at my lowest prices. In fact, those are sale prices. I can't go lower than that, unfortunately, but I do believe I do have the best price anywhere for both of those covers.

Ford F150 Owner: Yeah. I had been looking, those are pretty good prices. Alright, I'm going to go with the BAKFlip G2.

Tonneau Covered Agent: The G2? Good choice. Please allow about five to seven days for delivery on this. You're going to get an email confirmation here in just a second. 

Ford F150 Owner: Now, they'll leave it obviously, right? At the front door?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yes. It's going to be FedEx.

Ford F150 Owner: All right, awesome. Thank you so much.

F150 Owner: It's a 2016 Ford F150, 5'7 bed.

F150 Owner: I have a question. Does that BAKFlip lock?

Peter: Yes, when your tailgate is locked the cover is locked.

F150 Owner: Okay, all right. I know when we talked last week you were going to include a tailgate seal, the whatever it's called, the drip piece for the tailgate?

Peter: Yes, that's right. Your order will include a free tailgate seal and free shipping. Allow about five to seven days for delivery.

F150 Owner: It's pretty simple to install?

Peter: Yes. Piece of cake, 30 minutes or less.
