Take it from me, if you are thinking about getting the Revolver, reconsider. Mine hasn’t held up. It’s almost 3 years old, but the vinyl has shrunk and is coming unglued, and the felt strips on the bottom were falling down within the first summer in the Mississippi heat. I’m extremely disappointed in the longevity of the cover, especially considering the $1000 (give or take) that I paid for it. I feel as though I have taken care of it the best I can. It has had sun exposure for essentially 3 years straight, but then again, the bakflip on my dads 2012 Tundra while a bit faded is still going strong.

Same with mine, 2.5 years, the replacement no longer has felt, as in this video it has rubberized material in place of the felt, and it was replaced under warranty. The vinyl to aluminum/rubber looks more solid. We’ll see if this last longer.

Exact same experience. I've had two Bakflip Revolvers, my neighbor has had two, and my brother in law has had one. On every single one, after 2-3 years in the Texas sun, the vinyl starts shrinking and failing around the edges. I'm thinking going with an MX4 the next time around.

I like the idea of being able to see out the back with the revolver. what I don’t like about the revolver is it looks like it’s vinyl so somebody might stick a knife in it to rip it open. Yes they wouldn’t get in, but they would damage your whole top. With the backflip it’s easy to take it off when you put that big item in and it’s light enough and narrow enough to set it inside the bed. Plus when you look at the backflip, you know it’s aluminum so you know you can’t easily break in. so my choice is for the back flip.

I had the Revolver on my Chevrolet High Country for a couple of years. I liked it but the revolver had to be completely closed or completely open. I sold the Revolver and purchased the MX4. The MX4 can be opened one panel at a time. So if I only need my truck bed open 1/4 or 1/2 of the way, I have the option. Really like the overall look of the X4S, however the MX4 works better for me. Great video.

I have revolver x4 on my truck. I would rate it 3 out of 5. It looks good and easy to operate but it leaks quite a bit around the tail gate, freezes in the winter and you can not open it, also had a headache when some sand got it the rails because it's almost impossible to clean it. Had to take it all appart. Couple good things about this cover is that it does not block rear window, it works with a Tracrack SR and thats why I bought it in a first place.

Hey They are both nice covers. I like a hard cover over a material. Not sure of revolver material over aluminum could eventually weaken and loosen being rolled up constantly. Backflip appears to be more solid and strength. I checked out Diamondback and Renegade hard covers. Great for top notch security purposes but I’m not going topside for hauling purpose. This leaves BakFlip. I think they company should come out with a headache rack to match up with BakFlip being fully open but not touching rear glass. I know there’s arms on both sides but you never know. I’m probably going with the BakFlip. Excellent video tutorial.

Great comparison. I've been set on the X4S for awhile now but someone local is selling an MX4 for half the cost of new, so I've been going back and forth. I think I'm still gonna go with the X4S. Biggest reason is being able to see out my back window with out fully open. Plus I like the cleaner look vs the folded one.

The roll top is the only cover that would allow me to do this and have a 5th wheel hitch.

These are my complaints; in the upstate New York winter, if there is any snow melt, the cover freezes in the track. I have had a number of complaints regarding the end caps just disappearing. The company has been very good about replacing these at no cost. Attempts to glue end caps have not been successful, nor has silicone applications. Last I heard, there was a new end cap being developed. Waiting to hear back.

What I don’t like about any bed cover no matter what brand is the matte finish it SUCKS, you can’t wax them or ceramic coat them if a bird shits on the cover it’s difficult to remove. Even washing the cover will leave water spots. I don’t understand why the manufacturers don’t make the covers with a smooth finish so they can be waxed like the rest of the truck.

My Ford F150 was purchased 12/2021, a BAK Revolver X4 was added with the original purchase. It has a Ford emblem installed either by a licensed third-party purchaser or by BAK. ANYWAY, THE TOP VINYL PULLED AWAY FROM the glue, as did the felt underneath. The third-party vendor replaced it 7/5/24 and no more felt, it has rubber brackets in place of felt now. My question has to do with warranty, if you know. I’m being told there’s only a 1 year warranty on the replacement, but I’m also hearing that BAK has a 5-year warranty. Do you know what the warranty is? Great video, thank you!

Thanks for making this video. I have owned Ram 1500 (6'4"), 2500 (6'-4"), and 3500 (8' bed). Now I have the Chevy 1500 High Country and I was wondering if the flip would block the bed view of my high brake light camera, it looks like it would so I'm going with the X4s. I had the X2 on my 8ft bed and loved it! The issue with flips is they are heavier the farther you have to flip back (more sections to lift). Too much weight with the 8 ft bed. I gave the X2 one push to close it and it rolled all the way from start to the end. In Florida, the material falls off in high heat, but the X4s has rubber along the length in stead of glued material.

In all honesty that really hasn't been much of an issue for me but is a little inconvenient. I'm getting a bit "long in the tooth" and that last fold up against the rear window while standing beside the truck using one arm is getting to be something of a strain. I've had the MX4 for over 5 years and like it but I feel for my purposes it's time to try a change.

Which one would we say is the best for theft proof?

I’d say they are equal. Both latch down the sides in multiple places and are locked if the tailgate is up. Neither will be theft “proof”. But their going to need a lot more then a pocket knife to get into it like most covers.

I would imagine these will start falling apart after 2 to 3 years in Arizona heat... are the seals and rubber parts serviceable?

Their warranties are better than that. You could get a free one if they fail that fast vs fixing it. The X4 vs X4s had improvements to help with heat issues. (I’m Minnesota, so I can’t give a whole lot of insight)

Yeah, but prices change, so you cant really say it in a video that might be seen years after it’s published. Clinking the links should get your answer quick. They are direct to the exact product, so it shouldn’t take long for someone to find out the current pricing.

One major question I have, that I really can’t find an answer to is: will any of these covers allow me to load in my motocross bike and strap it down like normal? I regularly head out to the track, so a cover that doesn’t allow me to transport my bike is a no go.

The Revolver will let the front wheel of a bike hit the front of the bed still. Speaking from experience you can ratchet it down snuggly into the front of the bed as if the cover isn't there. Not sure about the flip cover but looks like it might impede the front tire but could be lifted out of the way quickly, 🤷🏼.

I'd also like to know. This seemed like the best tonneau but now that I've installed mine (X4TS) I'm wondering how it will hold up and operate in the cold, ice and snow. I don't park in a garage. I'm hoping I don't have to thaw it out at the car wash when I need to roll it open in winter. Great videos but wish he waa more responsive to comments and questions.

I’m not sure which model I have but mine has an exterior seal similar to the ones on the sides of these and it’s so irritating because it gets in the way of closing tailgate to where I have to close tailgate first then slam the cover shut that way the seal stays over the tailgate and not tuck itself inside

Has anyone had a problem with the backflips getting waterlogged after a couple of years? I am getting ready to replace my 3rd backflips that I purchased thru Line-X, they have been very good about keeping to their lifetime warranty but I not very happy with the backflips type getting waterlogged. Just curious if anyone else has had this problem.

I had a backflip for 12 years. In winter on ram 1500, only issue was rubber freezing to tailgate. Fluid film each year fixed that. I’m wondering on the revolver how does rail work in winter w freezing? Second issue with backflip was over time the insulation has absorbed water making cover very heavy. I was going to cut slots in bottom to tru to allow to dry or replace insulation. Any ideas on that?
