It can be a little tricky/have some strange inconsistencies that generally work themselves out through use and heat.

Tip for protection application. Roll the cover back so you can treat it in sections while standing inside the bed. Lightly mist that section and wear a nitrile glove one hand, use that gloved hand to spread the product out as evenly as possible. You can just let it air dry or use MF towel to mop up any excess. FYI, 303 Protectant (blue bottle) or 303 Aerospace Protectant (white bottle) are same . We use this application method to treat convertible tops.

I was looking at a Diamondback Switchback, but now I’m sold. Great video.

I have a quad fold BakFlip that came with the truck. I'm not a fan. I'm putting this one on order and will be selling my current cover.

Nice set up.. I have a 21 f150, and before that a 2017 RAM 1500, both with the x4s and Adarac rails .. the t-slot wasn't available at the time, and Adarac was one of the only compatible options. Good to see BAK finally caught up with demand!

I had the adarac rail on my last truck, great option but not that the Revovler has the t-slots...GAME CHANGER!

Great video! I have the X4ts cover on order for my 2024 Canyon AT4. I already have the Elevate rack here ready for it and am going to have my kayak on one side and a locking cargo box on the other side. Should be a great setup.

Nice review and will be interesting to see how can use the t-slot on the new model. I have been using mine since 2018 on my F150 and am always operating the cover for small loads. The weak point is the end plastic caps that can pop loose (thanks to BAK for replacements).

Thanks! I was debating between this one and the regular X4s. Now that I know it can work with other accessories, I'm going with this one. Even if I never end up adding accessories, at least I have the option to do so if I decide to later one.

I sent an email over to Bak asking this, when I get some info I will post in the videos description. I ended up using extra hardware from my Elevate rack (later video) to install chase lights but I want some more t bolts and I cannot find them at a hardware store.

I just installed the bak x4s on my 24 raptor and have an issue with the tailgate hiting the end of the cover when closing. Is there adjustment for that?

@WaterFowler41

You may have to lift the rear section of the tonneau rail a bit for the tailgate to clear.

What height would your bed rack need to be so that you can still roll up the cover in its entirety?

@WaterFowler41

10” or more

Yes and if you have the x4s, I believe realtruck will sell you just the rails.

I've had this on my Ram 2500 for almost a year and get a lot of compliments on the sleek look.

What’s the measurement from the wall to the end of the tonneau when rolled up?

Awesome! The chase lights are SSC2 pods from Diode Dynamics. I will mount them using the t-slots that are built into the X4ts tonneau cover

how is your BAK X4ts holding up after few month? any problems with tonneau cover?

Not good State with hot Summer. The cover material gonna shrink and pull off both sides of the rails and at the back of bed cover 2 1/2 years later. The aluminum gets so hot, no glue can’t bond for long.

Do you experience water coming from the talegate?😊

Curious what rack you went with. I have this on my 22 Tundra and was hoping my Yakima Overhaul would work but it does not. Only adjustable rack I found so far is Elevate.

Could you expand on why it didn't work, because I'm also struggling with this. Real Truck told me it would be compatible but I only ever see the Elevate rack on these. Did you try using the Yakima t-slot adapters on the OverHaul rack?

@jameskelly4494

@@Adam-sn3fs It is the width of the Yakima bases at the bottom. They overlap the rubber seal on the x4ts by about 1 1/2 inches. To be able to use the cover you would basically be removing the entire seal. If you are ok with leaving the cover closed then yes the Yakima rack can be used.

How much weight can you put on it

@WaterFowler41

2 ай бұрын

Assuming you are asking how much weight you can put on the rails since this isn't exactly a tonneau cover built for hauling loads like a Diamond back is, they don't list the specs for this cover but I would assume they are close if not equal to the specs of the Elevate t-slot rails which is 500 lbs when driving on road and 750 lbs when parked (rtt with people in it).

What size are the tracks?

@WaterFowler41

Ай бұрын

A t-bolt with a head that is 3/4" will work in the track for adding accessories. If you watch my Elevate rack install, you can see the bolts provided in that kit. They are 3/4" wide and slide right into the end of the track.

Can you put the product link please

Link is in the description

Why isn't anyone being honest with the quality of this cover? The title should be, Superglue Not Included. If you had an older BAKFlip from 10-yrs ago, you will be very disappointed with the amount of plastic. The locking mechanism used to be housed in aluminum - now it's thin, brittle plastic. The end caps are as well - they fall off way too easily. Upon receipt, all plastic parts were cracked and/or had fallen off. Even worse, of the four screw holes for the locking mechanism, only two were used per side - so the entire locking mechanism falls out when you try to use the cable. This would be fine if sold for $100 - that's about all it's worth. This isn't a cover for the working truck - it's there to get into place, be left alone and look good (assuming the endcaps don't fall off as you drive).

@WaterFowler41

Sounds like you got a dud or are beating the heck out of the cover beyond its intended purpose. I’ve been extremely happy with the cover as have most across the forums. Regarding the 4 holes for 2 bolts per side, that’s not uncommon as many of these rails are used across different applications, cutting one type of bracket is a lot more efficient than cutting multiples when you look from a manufacturing lens. Also, 4 bolts aren’t going to provide any noticeable benefit over the two the cover requires.

@mscisco1977

Cover is brand new, unused, out of the box. And yes, partial assembly is a huge problem. The cable housing lifts off of the rail when trying to use the cable. They drilled four holes for mounting, but only used two. As for the old one with aluminum parts - yes I did beat on it for 10-years and, yes, it held up perfectly. Should have pulled it off before I sold the old truck!
