What is the Best BAK Tonneau Cover for a GMC Sierra 1500 New Body Type

GMC Owner: Hey, the tonneau cover that you had told me about, that BAKFlip, which model was it? Was it the F-1 or was it something different?

Peter: What truck was it for?

GMC Owner: It's a GMC Sierra 1500. It's the new model, new body type, short bed.

Peter: Okay, so yeah, I recommended either the MX4 or the F-1, which is only $10 more than the MX4.

GMC Owner: And what's the difference between those two covers?

Peter: The difference is that the MX4 is aluminum, and the F1 is a fiberglass-reinforced polymer, so it's a stronger material.

GMC Owner: Yeah, that's probably what I'd be looking for. And that will fit that new body truck no problem?

Peter: Yes, absolutely.

GMC Owner: Okay, I'm going to just take some time to think about if I want to go with the MX4 or the F1

Peter: Okay

Does the BAKFlip MX4 Include Weather Stripping or a Tailgate Seal?

GMC Owner: Hey, Peter. I had sent you an e-mail a couple weeks back and I received a price quote from you about a tonneau cover.

Peter: Okay. What truck is it for?

GMC Owner: It's for a 2019 GMC Sierra AT4.

Peter: Okay. And which tonneau cover were you looking at?

GMC Owner: It's a MX4 BAKFlip.

Peter: Okay. Yep. It's free shipping and there is no sales tax if you are ordering from outside of Arizona.

GMC Owner: That sounds good. And then one of the e-mails mentioned some weather stripping that you could add on? Is that included with the MX4, or is that from you guys? 

Peter: Yes. I believe you're referring to a tailgate seal. I can include the tailgate seal kit for free, and that comes from our warehouse here, so it will arrive separately. 

GMC Owner: Okay, cool. What is the shipping time on that?

Peter: It's about five days.

GMC Owner: About five days. What would it cost for expedited shipping?

Peter: Let me see. It's only if you qualify. You said it was a 2019 GMC Sierra? What was the bed length?

GMC Owner: Short, 5'8"

Peter: Got it, okay. Okay, I can get it to you by Wednesday for an additional $24.99.

GMC Owner: Okay. Yeah, that sounds good.

Peter: Okay, I'll get the shipping set up now

What's the Difference Between BAK and Undercover Tonneau Covers?

GMC Sierra Owner: What's the main difference between the BAK and Undercover tonneau covers?

Peter: Undercover and BAK are actually sister companies, so the products are almost identical; they're very similar.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. The Undercover Armor Flex, for example. What does that consist of? Is that a three panel?

Peter: It is.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay and that Armor Flex folds back three times?

Peter: Yes.

GMC Sierra Owner: Versus the BAKflip what are the pros and cons to one or the other?

Peter: Armor Flex has the best warranty of five years.

GMC Sierra Owner: And then what would be the price difference?

Peter: The Bakflip MX4 is going to be slightly cheaper.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. You said MX4, okay. It looks like here there's also a BAK Revolver X2. What is that? 

Peter: Yes, that's the hard roll up cover.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. So you're saying out of all these you say the Undercover is probably the best?

Peter: Yeah.

GMC Sierra Owner: With the roll up one, is it still a hard cover?

Peter: Yeah, it's aluminum underneath, there's vinyl on top.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. Okay, cool. And I see Undercover Ultra Flex.

Peter: That's the same as the Armor Flex but it doesn't have the LINE-X coating on top.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay, I got you. Cool. Well I guess I'll need some more research and figure it out. What would be a timeline as far as how long it takes to get here?


Peter: Three to five days.

GMC Sierra Owner: Cool. What if I can't figure out installation? How would you recommend going about that?

Peter: You'd have to take it to a shop, but I really don't think you're going to have an issue with that.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. Okay, cool. Alright sir, well let me figure out which tonneau cover I want and then I can get back in touch with you guys.

Peter: Okay. Sounds good.

What is the Recommended Hard Cover for a 2010 GMC Sierra?

GMC Sierra Owner: Yes, I was reaching out to you to discuss a bed cover for my truck. I didn't know if I caught you at a good time.

Peter: What truck is it for?

GMC Sierra Owner: This will be a 2010 GMC Sierra.

Peter: Okay. Got it, and what's the bed length?

GMC Sierra Owner: That... I was hoping would be a standard thing that you would have.

Peter: It could be a short bed, it could be the standard size bed, so it's either a five eight or a six and a half foot.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay, yeah it's just a standard 2010 crew cab GMC Sierra two wheel drive. So I would think it would be a standard bed. It's not an extra long bed.

Peter: Do you have a crew cab?

GMC Sierra Owner: Yeah, I do have a crew cab.

Peter: It could be a short bed. It could be one or the other, but that's okay. We'll just have to measure it before you order. Which cover were you looking at?

GMC Sierra Owner: To be honest with you, I just wanted to see if I could get some help to detail it out. I prefer the hard cover. That or kind of flush with the bed of the truck if that makes sense. It wouldn't be over the truck. Do you recommend the Undercover Armor Flex?

Peter: Okay, the Armor Flex, it's very popular. It's a really nice cover. I've got that for a great price. It's free shipping and there's no sales tax. It's ordered from outside of Arizona.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. Tell me a little bit about your company.

Peter: Yeah, we've been in business for about 7 years. My name's Peter. I basically handle the majority of the sales over here, but we are a smaller company. We have less overhead than the big companies so we can actually pass on the savings to you. We work directly with the manufacturers because they have the best quality control and yeah, we sell tonneau covers at the best price.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay, and you're just the logistics piece behind it. Is that right?

Peter: Right. We're a reseller.

GMC Sierra Owner: Got you. And I don't know a lot about tonneau covers versus like a BAKflip, is that one of them?

Peter: Yes.

GMC Sierra Owner: So, I mean honestly, I need to do a little bit more research. But I'll think about the Undercover Armor Flex

Should I Purchase an Extang or a BAK Tonneau Cover for My GMC Sierra?

Peter: Looks like you were interested in the Extang Solid Fold. 2.0 for your new GMC Sierra?

GMC Sierra Owner: Yeah. You know I've been doing a little bit of research over the weekend too. It seems like that has a lot of bad reviews, like in terms of leaking. So is there one that you would suggest?

Peter: The most popular ones are going to be the BAKFlip models. Those were designed with drain channels that lead to drain tubes that keep the water out of the bed. So it's just a different design and it's a little more water resistant for sure.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. Yeah. So when I was looking at those, cause I did, I started looking at some of those as well. What is the, I guess what's the advantage? I mean the other one seems to come off a lot easier. Right. But none of them seem to be real hard to take off.

Peter: Right. So there are a couple of advantages. One, they sit flush inside the bed rail, so it's got a more low profile appearance than the Extang. It's also a trifold, but it can fold completely up out of the bed and secure behind the cab. So you have full bed access. So it's a much more versatile than the Extang.

GMC Sierra Owner: Now I saw, there's a couple of different models of those as well. Right. I thought I saw two different models.

Peter: Yeah. The most popular by far is going to be the BAKFlip MX4.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay.

Peter: That one, it has a really nice matte black finish that people like as well. Anything you order will have free shipping and there's no sales tax.

GMC Sierra Owner: Okay. Now that one, in terms of I have the new body type, my truck's the new body type. Will it fit?

Peter: Yes.

GMC Sierra Owner: I'll have to call back, but I have another question. How about like a bed rail for that truck? You carry those as well?

Peter: A bedrail?

GMC Sierra Owner: Yes. I'm looking for the chrome bars, I usually call them bed rails, but I don't know what they referred to as. They're kind of like the tubular bars that would just go kind of north south on the back of the bed.

Peter: Oh, got you. Yeah. You're going to have a few different options there. I know that Putco makes some. They kind of range in price, but I could get a couple of options ready for you.

GMC Sierra Owner: Oh, that'd be great. Yeah, that'd be great.

Peter: Okay, no problem. I'll put that together and then we'll talk to you in a little bit.

GMC Sierra Owner: Yeah, if you give me a little bit, maybe towards mid afternoon, I'll give you a call back.
