Tonneau Bakflip MX4 v GatorFX

[Billk2023]

These two covers appear to be very similar and it seems you can close the tailgate without having to open the last panel first. Both are expensive with the Bakflip being $200 more. Any experieince with which holds up best would be appreciated.

I never had the other brand but the Bakflip worked well for me.

The MX4 was the best add on I've put on the truck. Great value for my money! Easy to self install, too.

I have the Bakflip with. MFT. Works great and mostly water tight.

The MX4 is VERY popular. It is a great cover. We have lots of customers with this cover. We even have customers that bought it for one generation RAM then when they bought a newer truck (new body style) they bought another MX4. MX4 gets my vote

Message me if you would like a quote on one for your RAM

I’m on my second MX4, but this one the rear corner trim piece fell off somewhere. The other side was about to go, too. There is no adhesive holding them on, and whoever runs their social networking does not return messages.

I had a problem with mine after one year. They shipped a repair kit ASAP.

Another MX4 convert, just installed in mid-December. I replaced a trifold hard top that was excellent with zero leak and hope this works the same. I didn't need the top, but wanted to buy something for the truck and just happened to see someone else discussing right then so I ordered.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have the MX4, it's my first tonneau so I can't offer anything on the differences, but it's been trouble free and waterproof thus far. Easy installation by one person.

Bakflip would tend to last longer than gator, I believe they are sister company if I am not mistaken. it seems like gator is less quality but I have it now on my truck it's 1 year strong I got mine from tonneaucovered.com for $989.00

I've had both and the BAKflip quality is better. However, for the cost difference, the Gator is a good option and held up well.

1 thing to note as well....I can not speak on Gator's customer service but should you have a problem with a BAK product(which is rare) BAK's customer service is awesome. They will get you taken care of asap and the process is very simple.

Some bakflips you do have to close the gate first before the last flip, but not on the mx4. I’m happy with mine. I’m on my 2nd one, different truck. I’d buy again.
