Looking at buying one of these covers and was wondering what people's thoughts were. In the past I always ran the Truxedo Lo Pro and like it but thinking of something that is a little easier to keep clean and be able to open a small section at a time.

The price is kind of scaring me, especial,y since it is almost double the price.

Thoughts, reviews, cheapest place to buy?

I just put one on my truck. Love it so far. I have had a bakflip on my previous two trucks. Also I got it from Morrie at Tonneau Factory Outlet(one of our vendors)

I've got the bakflip and have had no problems. Call Morrie from the outlet advertised on here, he gave me the best price and shipped it fast. Just make sure if you drive with it flipped open, that you strap it down so it can't unfold. I don't think you can go wrong with it.

Another vote from me regarding checking with Morrie at Tonneau Factory Outlet. Bought my BakFlip VP from him and was a great guy to deal with.

I got the tonno pro low roll. I like that when I roll it up it's only 5" tall and doesn't block the rear window. I like the fibermax look... care to post pics of it folded up? Does it block the rear window?

One thing I don't like about the trifold style is you have to open it at 1/3 a time. I have rolled mine up just enough to let lumber or metal stick out the bed but then roll it back down onto the material and drive like that with no issues. Esp in the rain it's very convenient. My brother has a stiff roll up that goes into a box in the bed as it retracts but he looses a good bit of bed space. I was originally looking at the backflip hard roll up but then saw the price and vomited alittle.

I don't have a pic of it folded up right now but it does block the back window. However it also easily comes off if needed

My brother and I just got MX4s. They're aluminum so I'm not sure if that's a deal breaker but being able to open and close the tailgate with the cover up or down is a nice feature. As far as I know the MX4 is the only trifold you're able to do this with.

Here is my VP folded up. As quietpeen said they are easy to remove, only two screws at front. Only takes 2 minutes.

Yea but then u need to put it somewhere after u remove it lol. Say u go to Home Depot and get something and u need the full bed. Either gotta make room for it in the bed or back seat or remove it before I leave. Seems like something I don't want to deal with. But it does look nice.

That is how you use it open. It stays up and you gave the whole bed just like the truxedo. No need to remove it.


I am starting to go back to toward truxedo due to price. $750 is still a bit much much right now. Who knows.

Umm what? I have a Lund Tri-fold and I open and close my Tailgate just about every day and I never have to to leave my tonneau open to close it.

Maybe it's just a Bakflip thing
