Fold Down Security and Weather Protection for Your Super Duty Long Bed
Heavy duty work trucks need a bed cover that can take a beating without giving up security. The BAK 449331TS BAKFlip MX4 TS uses a hard folding aluminum panel design that locks flush to the bed rails, sealing out weather while keeping the factory tailgate step and camera functions fully usable. When you need full bed access, the panels fold forward in seconds and stay out of the way.
BAK Industries has built hard folding tonneau covers for over two decades, and the BAKFlip MX4 TS carries that same matte finished aluminum panel construction with upgraded perimeter seals for a tighter weather seal than the standard MX4.
