The New and Improved BAKFlip MX4 (GEN 3) Tonneau Cover by RealTruck

The world’s top-selling truck bed cover has been refined. Meet the upgraded RealTruck BAKFlip® MX4 (GEN 3), the latest iteration of RealTruck’s flagship tonneau cover. This new generation enhances the features truck owners value most, offering superior durability, improved functionality, and heightened security. Crafted mainly from alloy materials, including heavy-duty aluminum panels and side rails reinforced with high-density polymer cores, it boasts a 22% strength increase over the original. Security improvements include re-engineered locks alongside BAK’s patented auto-latching system for better protection against forced entry. Weather resistance is optimized with redesigned EPDM rubber seals and a longer dual-action tailgate seal, ensuring a tight, reliable barrier. The cover fits flush with your truck’s bed rails for a sleek, low-profile look, finished in textured matte black. Installation is faster with a refined click-in system, and operation remains effortless, allowing full bed access without blocking the third brake light.

The MX4 is part of the BAKFlip Tonneau Cover Series with a sleek matte finish and upgraded aluminum panels, the MX4 delivers top-tier protection and a flush, low-profile look that complements any truck.
