Do I Have to Drill Into the Bed of My 2018 Chevy Silverado to Install Drain Tubes for My BAKFlip MX4?
Chevy Silverado Owner: I spoke to you about two to three weeks ago about a BAKFlip MX4. I'm sure you don't remember that, but that's okay.
Peter: Okay. What truck do you have?Chevy Silverado Owner: A 2018 Chevrolet Silverado.
Peter: Okay. Gotcha. Yep, I've got it here. It's a bit more than last time we talked, but it's still free shipping and there's no sales tax.Chevy Silverado Owner: Okay. Well, I should have ordered it last time then.
Peter: Yeah, unfortunately our costs went up recently.Chevy Silverado Owner: Okay. How about the swing out compartment box thing. That was free like a week ago.
Peter: Yeah, that rebate is ended.
Chevy Silverado Owner: Oh my goodness. All right, but here's the whole reason I didn't order earlier was because I was worried about the drains. When I watched the installation video, it shows drilling through this big plastic plug in the bed of the truck. They show it on, I think it's the F150.
Peter: Right.
Chevy Silverado Owner: My truck doesn't have that plastic plug. Where is that drain line supposed to go?
Peter: I don't know. Every truck's a little bit different. If there are no holes leading out of the bed, you would have to drill. Otherwise, more water would get in if the drain tubes weren't installed.
Chevy Silverado Owner: Okay. Yeah, because I was thinking that I keep it in the garage. So it would only be in the rain if I'm out and it's raining and then it would be sitting somewhere while I'm in a store, in a restaurant, something like that while it's raining.
Peter: Right. There are a couple of other covers out there, hard-covers, that don't require the draining tubes. Like, for example, the BAK makes a Revolver X4. It's a hard roll-up cover. That one does not need drain tubes. And then, the X10 Solid Fold 2.0 is a hard tri-fold cover. That one doesn't need drain tubes either.
Chevy Silverado Owner: Do both of those sit flush?
Peter: The Revolver X4 does, but the X10 does not. That sits up on top the bed rails.
Chevy Silverado Owner: Okay. So it's Revolver X4?
Peter: Yeah and it's made by BAK and it's a little cheaper than the MX4.
Chevy Silverado Owner: The MX4... I've really, really had my eye on that one ever since you turned me on to it. You know. Now is the MX4, there's no way to like to plug the drain holes and let it run out the back end?
Peter: Yeah, I mean you can attempt to do that. I mean I know guys that have done that before. But, like I said, it is still going to allow a little bit of water to get in here and there. But yeah, you can plug them. I mean that's always an option.
Chevy Silverado Owner: Then I might have to wait until one of these deals comes back around with that storage box because I have trailer hitches and stuff like that. That would be perfect to keep it all in.
Peter: Yeah. Okay. Well just check in with us and we do deals every month or two.

How Does the BAK Revolver X4 Roll Up on a 2018 Chevy Silverado?
Silverado Owner: I have a 2018 Chevy Silverado and I had a question on the BAK Revolver X4 cover. Does that roll up?
Peter: Yes, it does.
Silverado Owner: Where does it go when it rolls up?
Peter: It rolls up on top. Think of it like your traditional soft roll-up cover. It rolls like that. But it's hard with aluminum underneath. And it rolls right up like on top of the bed rails and then when it's open it sits, that roll sits behind the cab.
Silverado Owner: Ooh. How big is that roll when its all balled up like that?
Peter: It's about seven inches or so.
Silverado Owner: Okay. How much weight will it support? You know like things sitting on it when it's out and closed.
Peter: I believe 200 pounds for this one.
Silverado Owner: Alright, I'm gonna have to investigate some different covers a little bit more.
Peter: Okay. No problem.

Is the BAKFlip MX4 Available for My 2006 Toyota Tundra?
Toyota Tundra Owner: Hey Peter, I got your email about a vinyl cover.
Peter: Okay. Which cover were we talking about?Toyota Tundra Owner: You said you sent me a quote. I never saw the quote, but I did see your pricing in your email, your followup email. So I've got a 2006 Toyota Tundra. It's a four-door.
Peter: Okay. Which cover were we talking about?Toyota Tundra Owner: Well, I was looking at two, and that's one of the things I wanted to talk about is, either the MX4, or they have a less expensive model.
Peter: Yes. The G2.Toyota Tundra Owner: And what's the difference between the BAKFlip MX4 and the G2 for my truck?
Peter: I'm just looking up your truck real quick. It's a 2006 Tundra. What's the bed like?Toyota Tundra Owner: Right. Well, that's what I'm going to go measure right now and I'm wondering, I've got a bed liner in it, so it's got the factory liner in it.
Peter: Okay. So they actually do not make the MX4 for your truck. So that might narrow it down. Let me double-check on the G2. So it's an '06 Tundra. What's the bed length?Toyota Tundra Owner: It looks like 6'2 bed.
Peter: Okay. So they do have the G2. It's free shipping and there's no sales tax if you're ordering from outside of Arizona.
Toyota Tundra Owner: Let me make a note on this. I got to see if I can afford this guy. Now, do I call, are you with the actual manufacturer?
Peter: I'm not. Our company is separate, but we work directly with the manufacturer. That's where the cover will be coming from.
Toyota Tundra Owner: Okay. I haven't done a ton of research, so let me see. What is the lead time to get it and how does it ship?
Peter: It's about five to seven days and it comes FedEx.
Toyota Tundra Owner: Okay. All right. Let me see what I can work up here and I'll give you a shout. Oh, are there any other covers that you might recommend? I mean, you guys carry a lot of brands?
Peter: We do. I actually liked the BAKFlips the best. They're the highest reviewed cover out there. They hold up so well over time and they very rarely have warranty issues. Plus they look really nice. So I think you're probably right where you want to be with the G2.
