Just bought a 2021 Ram 1500 Limited and i hate the tonneau cover that comes on the truck. Looking for something lower profile. I like Bak Revolver X4 but have read that most covers won't work with the MF tailgate due to the brackets?? Has anyone installed an X4? I like the rollup low profile option and not sure if there are other great options out there that would work? The Sentry I think works but don't like the velcro going down each side of the rails. Don't want to switch brackets and spend $1k on a cover and it not work. Any help would be appreciated.

If you change the brackets you can install any covet you want. I installed the retractable on mine w/o any interference, but you must change the brackets which is not a big deal.

I have a retrax cover but it is 2" wider in the motor and will not fit in the bed. I changed the brackets. How did you get the electric cover in there. They said they did not make one for it. I have a non Rambox.

I got the Revolver X4.
I had the Bacflip on my previous 2 trucks.
After having both, I definitely would have gotten another Bacflip.
The revolver leaks in the rain and car wash.
The Bacflip is a much better seal on the sides, frount and back, also easier to open, take completely off if need to, I have done this several times with my Bacflips.
I will not get another roll up, next tunnel cover will be a Bacflip again.

Changing the bracket out does it do anything to warranty for cover or truck? Thanks.
