BAK Tonneau Cover Buyer's Guide: Find the Right Fit for Your Truck
If you're in the market for a hard folding tonneau cover, BAK Industries is one of the most trusted names in the business — and at Pro Fleet Upfitters, we carry their full lineup. Whether you're protecting tools on a job site or locking down cargo on a long haul, this guide will help you choose the right BAK cover for your truck.
Why Choose a BAK Tonneau Cover?
BAK covers are built for working trucks. Key benefits include:
- Hard folding panels — matte finish aluminum construction that resists dents, UV, and weather
- No-drill installation — clamp-on design fits most trucks in under 30 minutes
- Up to 400 lbs. of evenly distributed load capacity
- Flush, low-profile design that doesn't compromise bed access
- Lifetime warranty on the cover; 10-year warranty on seals
The Two Series: BAKFlip MX4 Gen 3 vs. MX4 TS
We carry two primary BAK series. Here's how they differ:
BAKFlip MX4 (Gen 3)
The flagship hard folding cover. Matte finish aluminum panels, integrated drain tubes, and a fully sealed perimeter. Folds up 90° for full bed access and locks in any position. Best for truck owners who want maximum weather protection and a clean OEM look.
BAK MX4 TS (Tonneau + Side Rails)
Everything in the MX4 Gen 3, plus compatibility with existing bed rail systems like Utili-Track, Deck Rail, and RamBox. If your truck already has factory side rails or you plan to add accessories, the TS series lets you keep them without sacrificing your cover.
