She is very good at her job. I just like listening to her!
Nice video. Glad you didn't show Gator covers. I purchased their tri fold with a 10 year warranty on the vinyl and after 3 years it has failed. When I called, they told me that product was discontinued and there was nothing they could do. No offer for another cover with no sort of discount for a failed product. Terrible business. Do not use Gator covers. Thanks.
Agreed. Glad I canceled my order after it didn't show up for over 6 weeks with no updates.
Great job presenting so many options! I have to watch again because they all look great! Thanks for posting...
I’ve recently purchased a F350 and was online doing research 🧐 watching countless videos for bed covers for my truck. This video was hands down the best video of them all. It gave me many different options in one video, and thoroughly explains the difference in all different truck bed covers. GREAT PRESENTATION!!!!! I will be ordering mines very soon. I choose the folding hard cover.
Check out the proven ground hard cover. Great price and killer looks and durability.
Idk what your talking about but this was one of the least helpful of all the videos I watched. They didnt even go over a retractable.
I had a BakFlip MX4 on my 2016 Ram 2500 6' 4" bed and it worked fine I did not have any issues with it. I also installed a BakFlip MX4 on my 2019 Ram 1500 5' 7" bed and have not had any issues with it either. I also installed a Dualliner bed liner in both trucks another very good product to protect the bed.
RollnLock hands down. Had mine on my F250 for the past five years. Got mine used on craigslist. Repainted the rails and front cover with berliner. Works great. Don't know hope I did without it.
Amazing presentation, a lot of information delivered quickly in a single video, thank you!
Amazing video! Thank you for giving this noob to the truck world a great tour!
Lots of information, just what I need, Thank You, Well Done!
great video!! very informative and you hit all the important points in 7 minutes. Other UA-camrs take note of someone doing it right!!
Great info. Simple breakdown of options. Actual names and models discussed. Beautiful woman. This video is a 10/10.
Excellent brief, yet very informative video showing the advantages of many tonneau cover options. I came looking for cover options that will protect my gear from the snow and rain, but also easily removed or retracted to load motorcycles and other toys in the bed. This video was the perfect intro to help me find what I'm looking for.
bro what the fuck, why do you have to be such a fucking creep
Diamondback covers are so.nice aswell
Very professional presentation, thank you for posting.
Yah. To the point.
Thank you. That was excellent information.
I enjoy having that slider on my ford real nice all of them and Sharp looking.
Excellent video with a lot of choices. I thing the BAKflip MX4 will be my choice.
I heard they scratch and dent easy,check them out.
Fantastic video! Thank you so much that helped a tonnnnnnn !
I have the proven ground hard cover for my f150 and it is the bomb and half the price of the big names.... all of them ate good its just what your willing to pay. Good info and video
works great...I would buy again.
Best tonneau cover review I have seen yet. Short and covered alot of questions. Buying the Bak MX4.
@Jacob Blosser I think this the best. Everything stays dry in mt truck bed. I have owned several and this the best I have owned. 😊👍
I had the hard fold kind. FYI, Within a year the top surface was faded and looked like a exposed fiberglass kinda...( like my Jeep top, but it took it 20 yrs to reach that point) so Maybe it needs a treatment? I know vinyl needs treatment to keep the appearance up! It looked awesome and was easy to install. In the end I would just save up and get a camper top, they are nice!!
I like the last one and you.
Nice video open my eyes to more cover opinions , thanks
Had a solid cover and hated that i couldn't use the bed with tall items or had to leave it open. Definitely looked good and water resistant.
Changed to a used Retrax rollback. I like it. But the canister has gotten in the way. The black is super hot in the summer. And it leaks water through the slats. The drains also suck on the canister.
Customer service is top notch though.
Another option i have been curious of is the Peragon covers. Easily remove the whole thing. I may eventually go this route but have heard complaints of them malfunctioning.
Very well made video.
Good video, liked seeing all options together. Helped me make a decision, but the name of some covers pop on screen and others did not, had to listen several times to make sure I got the right one.
Very well done! We are shopping midsize trucks right now. Pandemic has caused pandemic chaos buying! Geeeze!
I just bought the Diamondback Cover after having another brand that broke. The Diamondback is by far the best cover on the market.
Definitely the best!
Thanks very informative
Great video!
this was super well done lol. I learned a lot

That was a excellent, comprehensive look at different covers, thank you. Think I'm picking the X15 Pro.
Best choice for soft covers
Enjoyed the video. I think it’s genius that they now have beautiful ladies introducing products. Makes even a boring video worth watching. Bakflip MX4 it is.
I got the MX4...been with it for about 2 years now. Sometimes I wish I went with the Revolver X4.
My mx4 only lasted about 5-6 years.
Joe Moffa yeah after doing research and looking at reviews and stuff I chose to do a Truxedo X15. I don’t want to spend 1000.00 bucks on a bed cover.
Wow lots of options.
Very informative video
Thank you .
Wait what, was this a video on truck bed covers? 🤤
I have had my cover since 2012 for my F-150...it cost $900.00 is 1" thick honey comb aluminum..it still looks new and does not leak...its a tri-fold..I love it..fyi..( 5 yr warranty) Extang trifold..made USA..
It is all that the company says it is
Too...
Why just Fords? Not that I’m complaining. Got my new F150 Saturday, my spray-in bedliner on Tuesday and my Retrax Pro today. Next is Yakima bed rack and Thule roof rack and I’ll be all set. Love that slot system Retrax.
good video we got T3 cover
Katie could sell me absolutely anything.
Thanks Katie. Lots of good info. really enjoyed your video.
That bakflip the truth!
I was sold when she said at 6:33 "Come in from the BACK "😉😉😉😉😎😎😎😉😉
Wow..super lame crude humour..a true genius..
I got one of these vinyl ones that roll up with the velcro on the edges. Its not theft proof but it is really quick to use and keeps stuff dry. I had a revolver aluminum roll up on my last truck and I like this one better.
You got it I’ve had them all once I went to truxodo x15 roll up.....I never looked back so easy so fast.....hands down winner
I got a chuckle out of her "installation" times (even with two people). The directions alone take 30 minutes to decipher lol. That being said, I really like my Revolver X4s.
I have the mx4 and paid about $1200.00 about five years ago. Not impressed. It has dents all over, probably from when I flip it back. Some of the dents now have cuts through them. The panels are all swollen from water infiltration during the winter months. Two of the panels don’t close properly because the ends have bent upwards( they are only held in place by a little silicon). My dad has the hard plastic one shown with all the blocks on it. It isn’t bad but it does move around on the bed rails, especially if your truck has plastic covers. In my case I would only buy another mx4 if I found one at a really good price, $800.00 max
I went with that soft cover folding first option. I’m happy enough with it. Easy to install. Keeps track bed free of snow in winter right now and I’ll pop it off come spring when I need the full bed for atv etc
Aside from cost, the light weight and ease of removal were the reasons I stayed with the soft cover. If it weren't for price I would probably go with the hybrid rolling aluminum cover.
No cover is good unless company stands behind customer service and warranties
Retrax has excellent customer service and warranty -- my personal experience
Thanks Katie that was very helpful. RetraxOne XR is the way I'm going to go.
Love my retrax pro.. Scored it in mint condition on marketplace for $500.00
I was not interested in watching a seven minute video on tonneau covers but for some strange reason I could not peel my eyes off for the entire 7 minutes and 22 seconds. A true mystery. ;)
Not only the stronger cover we also need no leak water too
Awesome
Hey Katie,
Beautiful video and the truck bed covers are real nice. I’d like one of each.
I had that extang 2.0 hard fold cover. It was a piece of junk. The water leaked at the panels so bad....every time it rained my bed was soaked with water. Waste of $800. I now have a cheap soft fold cover from rough country and the cover doesn't leak a drop of water when I go through the car wash, and I've had the cover on for three years now and it still looks and works great!!!
Wished someone would do a presentation of a truck cover and still use an existing rack system , like Trak Rac.
Hello.We are interested to buy. Do you have for Ranger Wildtrack 2019 and do you send to Cyprus? Thank you.
MX4 delivered today.
All great options for guys that don't use their trucks, How about long beds with saddle boxes installed?
There's a version like the 'hook & loop' one you showed, that roles up, but it's a plastic channel version. I had it on my 2016 Canyon and loved it, and have been trying to find it for my 2022 Silverado but can't. Why is this design harder to find?
I have a BakFlip MX4 and I like the cover but durability is an issue with mine. Having said that mine is the first generation of this cover and it looks like they have addressed most of the issues I've had with mine. The main issue has been the joints where it folds. They split over time but it looks like they have substantially re-enforced the joints on the new version. Also on mine you had to open the first section in order to close the tail gate which is a pain in the ass, especially if you live in a snowy climate, and it caused the joint of that section to fail fairly quickly. The new version no longer requires the section to be lifted to close the tailgate. The other issue I had was the pull cable to release latches to open the first section broke. Again likely because of having to release that section every time you close the tailgate
I bought the updated version of the BakFlip (MX4) specifically because they addressed the issues you noted. I’m pleased so far. No regrets.
The Diamondback aluminum diamond plate tonneau is lockable with solid latches and you can top load 1600 pounds.!
thats the one!!
i wasted $1000 on solidfold 2.0 , now have diamondback = lifetime cover
I hauled 50 ten foot railroad ties on the top of mine with no problems at all.
stunned
I'd like to see her install any of these in 20 mins. I remember back in the day guys making bed covers from plywood and 2x4s covered in outdoor carpet. We've come a long way from the one single lid fiberglass option.
BAK Industries’ customer service is excellent. I bought a used truck with a BakFlip VP bedcover that had the drain hoses missing. BAK sent me a pair of hoses at no charge though I wasn’t the original buyer of the bedcover.
can a sports bar and a revolver x4s be installed at the same time or is it either tonnau cover or sports bar decisions i have to make?
Another wild card is the climate you live in. I live where there is lots of snow and ice. I have a soft cover, and the vinyl gets pretty stiff in subzero temps. I would probably be better of with a hard cover but went with economical.
Loved when she called velcro a "hook and loop system"
Yes, similar to us asking for a Kleenex when actually it’s a Tissue

Anyone looking to purchase the Bak revolver DON'T! The felt on the under side of the cover will come off. They use a cheap ass spray on adhesive that doesn't like humidity! And trust me when I say this, when the sun is beating down on the cover and you go to unroll it you will burn your fingers unless wearing gloves. Also the way the cover is hinged once that uncouples it never will go back together. And the vinyl top (it's nice) however the texture fills with dirt and will not come out. I almost forgot the cover is not as secure as Bak claims. You can break into it with a coat hanger!
To anyone out there looking to buy a tonneau cover spend the money and go with RETRAX! They are made in North Dakota by people who understand what it will be used for. I know Bak tonneau is made in southern California but that's part of the problem! How often does it snow in southern Cali? And what about the humidity?
@Les Fernandez Trax has tonneau covers with utility racks.
@Les Fernandez I understand your needs. I would shop around. The one I have by Retrax I would recommend over and over. And it does sit flush to the bed. It will also hold 500lbs. Their customer service is top notch and they care about their product. Les I can't tell you what to buy, however I can give you a heads up after about a year you will be dissapointed with BAK. Best of luck!
@Les Fernandez Cool! Have fun with your new ride. Good choice too.
BEAUTIFUL PRESENTER
TAKE MY MONEY!
Do they lock with the bed
How difficult is the prox15 to maintain vs its vynal counterprart?
Wow , she threw that block like it was nothing. I’m in love. 😜😜
Rambladesman Moe foam molded blocks.
naya la love conquers all. 😂
I have a backflip, they don't last too long. Looking to get a Peragon
You want to compare the weight capacity of the diamondback truck cover
I have 20 minutes but I don’t have $1000 ha ha
Just teasing that was a great video and very nice product
I wish my factory hard cover was waterproof
Pity we don’t have these in Australia.
Can it be locked down with the first flip?
You're not getting a knife though that!

Prices, great video
What are they trying to sell again ?
I installed the Revolver X2 on my new 2017 F-150. As with most black covers, this one gets scorching hot in the sun. There are wide felt strips glued to the bottom of the cover, which help prevent pinching your fingers (or burning them!) when rolling the cover to the front.
In spring 2019 the felt strips adhesive started releasing, and by mid summer the felt was hanging down into the bed of the truck! The cover CANNOT be rolled without the felt in place - unless you want pinched/bloody/burned hands. So, I had to purchase a "felt replacement kit" from BAK. Seriously?? Peeling and replacing the felt was MEGA difficult! VERY disappointed!
By the summer of 2021 the vinyl on top had started peeling and curling up from the aluminum at the edges. Seriously?? FOUR YEARS OF LIFE FROM A $800+ COVER?? Now they're over $1,000!! I let it go for another year - until now. I finally decided it had to go... it looks terrible! The plastic guides were coming out of the rails... literally falling apart!
I was extremely pleased when the cover was NEW. It worked perfectly! There all sorts of reviews when they are NEW. But look for a REAL WORLD review of a cover which has been used a few years. I guess if you always keep your truck garaged and parked out of the sun you may have better luck.
VERY disappointed in the life expectance of the cover considering what I paid. Today I'm installing a competitor "tri-fold" hard cover I found for $600. Time will tell with this one...
A.R.E. Product Information
It's got black ends. Case it's hot. U get soft touch.
You should mention to the camper shell users, that you can re register your truck as a passenger vehicle if you have a camper shell. Saving you big bucks on those yearly registration fees
So are these bed covers are by Bak ?
I want to onstall a gravity feed tank 50 gallons under bed top and have access at cab to refuel
Who came here because the thumbnail shows her effortlessly holding a cement block?
Hope her elbow is OK!!!
@@lancecrane10 Wow! I watched it again and totally missed that. 1:46
Some prices would have been nice so we know what to expect when we shop for them.
Prices fluctuate. Just check the site.
revolver X4s for me
What's 40 below do???
Oh, yeah! I want something strong, like velcro attachment!
Ok. Next video do the pros and cons please. Most of these covers leak water.
How could you leave DiamondBack HD out?
I thought the same thing at first, but by leaving the Diamondback out, they made it a "fair" competition between the competition. None of these compare to the Diamondback.
@@TheDingpud #Facts
I just installed a Diamondback HD on my Tundra. A guy at work has one...they are extremely well built.
@@TheDingpud I love mine in my Ram Power Wagon, I have had pallets pushed on it and slid on with a forklifts and it looks new. The rugged black finish is very tough.
