BAKFlip MX4 GEN 3: Stronger, Smarter, and More Secure

Truck owners have long trusted the BAKFlip MX4 for its sleek look and reliable protection. The third generation of RealTruck’s best‑selling tonneau cover brings significant upgrades in security, durability, and ease of use, making it an ideal solution for professionals who rely on their pickup beds every day.

 

Stronger by Design

 

BAKFlip MX4 Gen 3 StrongerThe Gen 3 MX4 is built to handle work and adventure. Its heavy‑duty aluminum panels are reinforced with high‑density polymer cores, delivering a 22 percent increase in overall strength over the previous model. Precision‑engineered aluminum side rails and frame add rigidity, while a textured matte‑black finish keeps the cover looking sharp on any truck.

 

Enhanced Security & Weather Protection

 

BAKFlip MX4 Gen 3 Enhanced Security

Keeping cargo secure is easier with the MX4’s updated locking system. RealTruck has re‑engineered the auto‑latching panels to offer improved resistance to forced entry, giving you peace of mind when leaving tools or equipment in the bed. Revised perimeter seals and tight‑fit clamps prevent water from seeping between the cover and bed rails, and a longer dual‑action tailgate seal protects the tailgate area. The Gen 3 cover has been tested in harsh conditions ranging from -40°F to 180°F and up to 95 % humidity and is backed by a five‑year warranty.

 

Full Bed Access Without Compromise

 

BAKFlip MX4 Gen 3 Full Bed Access

One of the MX4’s best features is its ability to provide 100 % bed access. Each panel folds toward the cab and secures in place, so you can haul oversized items without removing the cover. When fully upright, premium rubber bumpers protect the cab, and third‑brake‑light visibility remains unobstructed. The MX4 can support up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight on top, so you can carry ladders or materials above the cover while protecting gear underneath.

 

Why Upgrade to Gen 3?

If you’re looking to upgrade your truck bed cover, the BAKFlip MX4 (Gen 3) offers a compelling list of improvements: 

  • Increased durability and load capacity thanks to polymer‑reinforced aluminum panels.
  • Improved security with re‑engineered locking components.
  • Superior weather resistance from enhanced seals and clamps.
  • Streamlined installation that’s quicker and doesn’t require drilling.
  • Backed by a 5‑year warranty and assembled in Missouri.
