How Can I Get the Best Price on a BAKFlip MX4 for a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500?

GMC Sierra Owner: I'm looking for a BAKFlip MX4 for a 2018 GMC Sierra Truck 1500, and it's a standard bed. So I'm assuming that's about the 6' 5” or 6' 6” bed.

Sean: I have one in stock where there's no shipping cost and then there's no tax outside of Arizona.

GMC Sierra Owner: Oh my goodness, wow. You know I'm going to get it. So I'm going to have to go transfer some money. That's the best price I've found on an MX4. Sierra Owner: How easy is it to install? Because I have a tonneau cover but it leaks.

Sean: They're pretty easy to put in. What kind of tonneau cover do you have, just out of curiosity?

GMC Sierra Owner: I would tell you but my truck is actually getting an oil change.

Sean: Is it a folding tonneau cover?

GMC Sierra Owner: Yes it is. And it leaks when I open up my truck bed, there's water already in there.

Sean: Yeah folding covers tend to do that unless you get the kind that sits on top of the rails. 

GMC Sierra Owner: Ok, well let's go ahead and get the MX4 then.

Does the Undercover Armor Flex Have the Rail System on it for a 2018 Toyota Tundra Crew Max With the Short Bed?

Toyota Tundra Owner: My name's Ruben I was calling to get some info on a Tonneau cover.

Shawn: What kind of Tonneau cover you looking at?

Toyota Tundra Owner: I'm looking at the Undercover Armor Flex. Does it have the rail system on it?

Shawn: What kind of truck do you have?

Toyota Tundra Owner: On my truck, it's for a 2018 Tundra Crew Max with the short bed.

Shawn: Those sometimes are a little bit more because of how they have to mount on that rail system. It's an extra kit that goes with it, so let me see what they say here. With deck rail system. You know what? Undercover's actually different, they don't charge you more.

Toyota Tundra Owner: Now do you, what's your sale because I got an email saying that you guys having a sale or something?

Shawn: Yeah the email quote I sent you is actually our new sales price because the prices of everything went up April first, but it's still lower than full retail.

Toyota Tundra Owner: Do you guys match prices, do you have it in stock and do you match prices? Or beat prices?

Shawn: Yes we can typically price match if you can show me proof of pricing elsewhere. But generally we are the lowest you will find.

Toyota Tundra Owner: Oh. Alright man, thank you for your time. I'm going to keep looking around, but I'll probably call you back if you have the lowest prices.

Shawn: You got it, have a good day my friend.

Should I Install a Tonneau Cover Before or After I Get a Spray Liner in My 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500?

Silverado Owner: I'd like to place an order. I'm in Hawaii and your shipping was about one third of the price. From the factory.

Shawn: Oh really? Did you try to go to the factory?

Silverado Owner: Well I just got the info to see how much it was.

Shawn: Yeah they ship, they ship FedEx, I think and yeah, they don't have as good a deal from what I've seen. Alright, so you have a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 Short bed. New body style?

Silverado Owner: Yeah. New body style

Shawn: Okay. Have you bought from us before?

Silverado Owner: No. I haven't purchased from you before, but I will from now on now that I know you guys have the cheapest shipping to Hawaii.

Shawn: Cool.

Silverado Owner: Do you know if I could install it after I put the spray liner or if I need to do it before?

Shawn: You want to get a spray liner?

Silverado Owner: Yeah I'm going to get the spray liner installed but I wasn't sure if it was going to mess up anything

Shawn: Why do you want to do that?

Silverado Owner: I don't know. Cause I'm going to put stuff in the back.

Shawn: Well, do this, look up Bedrug.

Silverado Owner: Yeah, no, I've had that before. I didn't like it as much

Shawn: No, it's, they're great man, they really are. I don't know what your experience was like, but I had one in all my trucks I love them.

Silverado Owner: Yeah I want to be able to throw stuff in the back and get dirty.

Shawn: Gotcha, well yeah, spray liner. It's probably, it might be a little bit easier to do it before the spray liner, but either way it doesn't really matter. I'd probably do the spray liner first that way the rails aren't in the way, you know. But the worst case scenario, if it doesn't sit all the way against your bulkhead, you know the back panel of your truck bed. If it doesn't bulk, you know, sit all the way against that, you might have to trim the rails a tiny bit to compensate for the material that's going to be on there but usually it's not an issue.

Silverado Owner: Okay.

Shawn: Alright, and that's about it man. We'll get you going.

What's the Best Deal I Can Get on a BAKFlip MX4 for a 2019 Toyota Tacoma?

Toyota Owner: Last night I was on your website looking at tonneau covers, and then this morning I got an email about it from Peter, so I'm kinda calling you back cause we wanted to know if they could sell me a tonneau cover.

Sean: Alright, what kind of cover are you looking at, my friend?

Toyota Owner: Well, I picked up a 2019 Toyota Tacoma, and I was looking at the Bakflip the MX4.

Sean: Okay.

Toyota Owner: That seems to be a good cover, and seems like it's the one that Toyota sells with theirs.

Sean: What size bed do you have on that Tacoma?

Toyota Owner: It's the short bed, so a five foot bed.

Sean: Do you have the tie down? There should have been some sort of a disclaimer on there though, because unfortunately on those Tacomas with those tie down rails, you do get a second hardware kit with it, or a different hardware kit rather, which does make that cover a little bit more price wise, shouldn't be too much more, though, let me look real quick here. Looks like it's extra twenty bucks.

Toyota Owner: Okay. So, is that the best deal you'll give me on that cover?


Sean: That is the best deal I show. We're already coming down about forty bucks there from our normal sale price which is already a hundred and some dollars less than retail.

Toyota Owner: Oh, okay. Hmm, I was just kind of curious. I mean I called Toyota's repair shop, and they had quoted me about the same thing, but I was just trying to see what the difference was between what you offered and what they offered.

Sean: Right. If they've already quoted you and Peter's already quoted you, and that's a price that you feel comfortable paying, I would honor that quote if you want to place the order with me.

Toyota Owner: Okay. I could do that, and lemme ask you one other thing. And I notice you have the, you were asking about the financing thing, but is that just you take a credit card and you just take the payments out of it?

Sean: No, we work with a company called Klarna and you can get set up with them if you checkout online. I can send you a link that you can go right to there, once you go through the process of putting in your ship to address, and all that stuff it'll ask you how you want to pay, you select Klarna, and it'll take you that whole process.

Toyota Owner: Oh, Okay. Okay. So, do I need to call you back on that, or what do I need to do?

Sean: Nope, I can send it to you and then you're on your own from there, my friend.

Toyota Owner: Okay. All right, let's go ahead and do that.

Sean: Alright. I'm gonna send this over now. I'd say give it two minutes and you should have it.

Toyota Owner: Okay. Can I have it sent to a different address than the billing address, cause I'd rather have it sent to the shop here than my home.

Sean: Yeah, absolutely. It'll give you that option, as soon as you get that it'll give you an option to do shipping and billing address.

Toyota Owner: Okay, perfect thank you very much.

Sean: You're welcome. Thank you and once I see it come through I actually place all the orders myself so I'll place it with them.

What Kind of Weight Rating Does The Trax Rail System on The Retrax ONE XR Have?

Ford Owner: I was wanting to get some information on a rolling bed cover?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Okay. Retrax?

Ford Owner: Yes, Retrax. The RetraxONE MX tonneau cover.

Tonneau Covered Agent: What kind of truck is it?

Ford Owner: A 2018 Ford F250 with the 6 foot 9 bed.

Tonneau Covered Agent: Let me ask you this: do you ever see yourself using a rack on that tonneau cover? Because the Retrax ONE XR has a Trax Rail System.

Ford Owner: Well, you know, I was wondering that same thing when I saw there was a Trax Rail System option for that one. How much is the price difference?

Tonneau Covered Agent: 100 extra bucks, but you get a $500 set of load bars for it through the 30th of this month with the current rebate.

Ford Owner: Okay. What kind of weight rating do they handle in the track system?

Tonneau Covered Agent: The weight rating in the track system? I know the cover itself is 500. The track system, I might say that you're the only person I've had ask me that so far.

Ford Owner: Is it up higher on that one with the track system, or is it exactly the same other than it's got the track in it?

Tonneau Covered Agent: You know, I've not seen them in person, but comparing them to the pictures, they look very similar, if not maybe an extra half inch on that rail, or on the slotted one.

Ford Owner: Okay. That was another thing I was wondering about it.

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yeah, a quarter of an inch or a half inch, somewhere around there. I'm not seeing a weight rating for it, but since it's directly on your rails themselves and not pushing on the cover, I would safely say 6-700 pounds. I don't know what you're going to put on there that's going to be that much. I think at that point, I'd be worried about the rack breaking, right?

Ford Owner: That could be. So, who manufactures the rack that goes into the track?

Tonneau Covered Agent: Yakima.

Ford Owner: Okay, it's not Rhino Rack, it's Yakima.

Tonneau Covered Agent: Right, but you can get any one with a T-slot: Yakima, Tully, Rhino Rack

Ford Owner: Okay, well, why don't you price them out and I'll try to decide what I want to do.

Tonneau Covered Agent: Okay. I'll send you a couple emails here with some quotes. Just let us know what you want to do. You can call us back and we can help you, or you can just complete it through the email.

Ford Owner: Okay. Then, the warranty, is that handled through your site, or is that handled right from the manufacturer?

Tonneau Covered Agent: It is a manufacturer's warranty, but should you have any issues, you let us know and we'll start the conversation with you guys and help you out.
