When did you compare? This was just a commercial for the one
I love the look of the Ultra flex but I will say I am waiting on my 3rd one to come in and be re-installed. I really liked the carpeted underside but it is not a nice feature when it becomes completely waterlogged. I have had two of these in the last three months that leak from the panel seems and the panels become saturated with water. The company has been great about sending a replacement hopefully 3rd times a charm. If not I will ask for a refund and replace with an MX4. My MX4 on my last Ram had zero issues.
I’ve owned both, my take the ultra flex is, well complete garbage. The side seals never lay flat, the tail gate seal unseats when tail gate is closed. Warranty was, well that happens not much you can do about it. We had zero issues with the mx4. So if you want a cover your going to be able to like as well as use get the mx4.
Thank you for your input @kbc74747. We've sold literally thousands of Flex and Ultra-Flex tonneau covers. Typically the issue with side seals not laying flat is due to not enough warm weather where the rubber can relax. Given some warm weather the seals will flatten out. As far as the tail gate seal goes, we've seen this before due to an improper installation. Typically if a customer brings this by our shop, we can make the quick necessary adjustments and have you on your way.
Thanks for your comparison. Nice to know what you think since you’ve owned both.
I prefer the MX4 because allowing it to rest against the back of the cab gives maximum cargo space. The foam strips do a good job protecting the paint
I can't think of why I would ever need carpeted insulation in my truck bed. Especially considering that any tonneau cover will leak at some point. Also, where is the comparison?
Easy to assemble, good strong materials, feels good, looks good.
No good! We used to stock these flex units. Wayyyy to much trouble with them. We install alot of the Mx4 units and rarely have problems with them.
It is a 5 yr warranty..
Thank you Victor. We want to be sure we're talking about the same product here. We're reviewing the Ultra-Flex, not the Flex. Also, since the video was shot, Bak does appear to have upgraded it's warranty to compete with the Ultra-Flex. However the Bak Mx4 still does not offer LED lighting or carpeted under panels. How long ago did you stock the Ultra-Flex and what problems have you had with it?
I saw that the cover shows scratches easily. Also, if you have to carry something in the box in the rain, the carpet would get wet.
At the 2:30 minute mark, I see that Ram Laramie sport everyday on my way to work, it sure is a great looking truck.
Cool! We'll tell Jared, our Accessories manager, as it's his truck.

Awesome
Good info. Would be nice to see how both seal at the tailgate.
Thanks for the feedback M Kaz. We're considering a video update and that could be a part of it.
What brand is the rack system you have installed with the cover?
Too bad these leak like crazy. After it rains and you lift the panels into the vertical position get ready for a rain storm in the bed of your truck.
Thank you @Steve V. The vast majority of folding covers on the market operate the same way and therefore shed water in the same fashion. We have not experienced the issue you described due to the channeled rails that capture the water and reroute it out of your bed (a feature present on both the MX4 and Ultra Flex). However if you’re looking for a different style cover where you may not experience this issue we’d recommend looking at an Undercover Elite or SE. These are one-piece hinged covers that close over the bed rails.
I have a 2021 nissan titan xd platinum reserve and looking for a bed cover.
Does the ultra flex block the brake light and rear camera on a Sierra at4 standard bed 6.5ft bed?
Mine will be moded to lean safely on the back of cab. That vert design sucks
Can someone please measure the last panel when in the folded position? I am trying to determine how much of the bed is left open.
Dale you bet. One of our team has this on their truck. Will get that to you shortly.
Thanks for the info on ultra flex. In the video what rack system is set up with the tonneau cover on that RAM?? Looking for both products together. Thanks.
Thanks Omar - the rack system is the Truxedo Elevate. Unfortunately that rack has been recalled and Truxedo is to re-introduce. If you're looking for a rack to go with your Undercover Ultra-Flex, one option is the Adarac by Access Covers. A shipment just landed here at Titan, so we have good inventory. It will be added to our site in the next 2-3 days. You can also call (855) 607- 6390 and ask for Kevin, Trey, David or Michael and they can get you hooked up. Jason
Do the light strips come with every ultra flex? I just bought one that didn’t have them and now I’m thinking of calling the retailer I bought it from to ask about them.
Weston, every Ultra-Flex manufactured today comes with the integrated bed rail LED light strip. If the retailer was selling through old inventory of the Ultra-Flex, it may not have been packaged with it. The retailer should be able to supply you with the light strip, as that is a common LED strip for other Truck Hero truck bed covers as well. Here's a link to the Undercover Ultra-Flex on our site for info - www.titantruck.com/i-94005-undercover-ultra-flex-tonneau-cover-ux82000.html. Hope that helps! Jason
@@titantruckspokane Thanks so much for the reply. Getting it all sorted out, and wouldn't have done so without your guys' help. Greatly appreciated.
@@westonverhulst glad we could help! When you're ready for additional accessories, we're here.
Save your money this expensive cover is terrible. I had to completely rebuild mine in 2 years,. The prop rods failed, the latches are held on with very small screws that pulled out. And all the seals failed. This cover leaked like crazy on my Tundra. The included light kit was junk.
How well do these covers work with ice and cold? (think Wisconsin cold rather than Washington cold)
Hi Gibber 1 - good question. Titan Truck has sold the Ultra-Flex to the coldest and wettest parts of the US. We've had zero complaints due to winter weather conditions. Since most of the components are aluminum, frozen / breaking plastic isn't an issue. Also, the Ultra-flex is built to divert water that does happen to make it past the seals, channeling it out of the bed. Another feature is the quality of the rubber stripping between the panels. And though it is aluminum it is re-inforced. So if you had some snow / ice build-up on your cover and went to open it, typically a moderate amount of snow and thin ice will break up, allowing you to brush it off to the side. Please note that NO tonneau cover manufacturer recommends letting snow and ice build up. However, we know it happens. Will it hold up to 48" of wet snow or 6" of solid ice without being cleared? I wouldn't recommend that for any tonneau cover. Hope that helps. Jason
Does this cover rattle or squeak going down the road?
No
Can this tunneau cover be installed with sport bars on bed ?
Hi Alex, unfortunately, it is not designed to install on a bed with sport bars. The nature of the cover is that it mounts flush on top of the bed rails and extends the length of the bed. The only way you could try to mount this with sport bars is to compromise the length of the tonneau cover and thereby your water seal, functionality and even structural integrity. Not recommended. Hope that helps. Jason
Its made in usa but are the aluminum panels made there also or from overseas?
Matt that's an excellent question. We've reached out to our Undercover rep to get an answer and will advise. Jason
@@titantruckspokane i just ordered the undercover last night anyways
Has good reviews anyways
@@audirx8 the factory rep got back to us on this, and the metal is extruded in Mexico. I wouldn't have guessed that, but there you go. Thank you for your business!
@@titantruckspokane ok kool thanks for actually remembering about this
Pretty awesome!
I love this cover
Just one pita the tailgate is always frozen shut in the winter now because the seal across the back on tonneau cover freezes to the top of tailgate.
And the 2 long main seals on the top that run the length of cover are starting to come off on the ends.
The 2 sided tape used doesn't seem to be holding up
@@audirx8 THANK YOU for the feedback Matt. Can I have one of our sales team give you a call to discuss? Want to be sure it is working properly for you.
it's 2023.. it's now $1,200+ ...
This cover is junk I had a dealer install it on my 22 Silverado and it leaked every time it rained I took it back to the dealer and they worked on it gave up and ordered another one after waiting for it for a month They got in and put this one on and it leaked every time it rained going back to the dealer again ! Buy a ten dollar tarp and it would do a better job!
MX4 also lies to us and say it's a 5 year warranty. We all know that's BS; nobody is going to replace a $1,000 bed cover after....let's say, 14 months?
A lot of people have had the MXx4 replaced for minor problems. Just look on youtube.
