Real Trucks Install Video: • How to Install BAK Rev...
Fantastic review and you definitely helped secure a sale with me. That little bit of water through a pressure washer is not bad at all. Thanks for the thorough review, im looking forward to setting mine up on my 2020 GMC!
I use cargo net bags anchored just behind the tailgate for groceries. Groceries and kids backpacks fit great. For stuff like 36 can sodas cases I can still fit them between the net and tailgate and it does a great job keeping things still from sliding deep into the bed.
Just put this cover on my new Mav and took it through the wash same leakage pattern. Thought I put it on wrong. Glad to know it just is what it is.
Awesome video! Can't wait to get mine and install it on 22 f150. I have looked at so many but the looks and function of this was perfect for me. My wife can open it with ease
I havent had any issues with the X4, but I do like the flat black finish and those plastic covers that cover the seal towards the back on the x4s.
A good upgrade a few years up the road when it finally goes.
Put one on yesterday. Easy to install. Looks great. Works great.
Great vid and comparison ! Mine arrived yesterday. I can’t wait to install it ! Keep up with the awesome videos.
Just traded in my Ridgeline for a Ram 1500. Had a tri fold cover and it was okay. Looking for a review on a rolling cover and glad I found this.
FYI...a ratcheting load bar set about 18-24" from the tailgate, helps keep items from sliding towards the cab. Most run $25👍🏻
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for this video I’m almost confident you sold me on this as my next truck bed cover. I love everything about it. I was gonna do bakflip mx4 but I want access to the rear cameras on my truck by cargo light when rolled or set up.
Great video, I purchased the cover and the retriever tool. Can't wait to install!
Best demonstration I've seen. Awesome job.
Both of my clips have broken now on my X4. Otherwise I still love it. Been over 4 years of Minnesota brutal winters and it's held up well.
Excellent video, you helped me decide this will be the cover I purchase. Thank you!
That was quite an improvement over the previous model. Nicely done.
Just got the X4s installed on my truck, love it! Got it after watching this video, thanks👍🏼
Glad you like it. Top cover for sure!
Ok I have been researching tonneau covers like all day today but I think you finally convinced me
Ha, yeah it’s a though one if you are looking to invest in a good one. I still love mine! 5 year warranty is great peace of mind on an investment like this too.
Wish I would have known back in the fall this was happening... I have an x4
I love it but the improvements with the x4s 😍
Selllll ittttt. And buy an X4s with my link. Lol JK. The X4 is great and still has the 5 year warranty.
I just ordered a Maverick, I hope a cover like the one you review here comes out for it.
I just fixed my felt fabric that started coming unglued after a trip to Alabama last Spring ... I re-glued it using commercial grade Lock-tite spray adhesive; hopefully it holds as it was a pain having it droop and flapp around in the back.
I like the 'grabber' pole you got. I simply use an extendable bar across the wheelwell in the truck bed; gives me room for bags, cases of drinks, groceries, etc and stops it from flying around in the back
Had the same issue….re-glued it once started slagging again…..then the exterior vinyl started becoming unglued…re-glued it once and it started coming up…..trashed it and put a gator recoil tonneau on it…
I think this is what I will be going with for a 22 tundra. Thank you
I have the X2 and my fabric underneath due to the heat has came undone I need to get it glued back together and yes the clip design is awkward 😬 . But I’m loving the look of the new X4 and the cloth was replaced with that nice rubber look and the clips is genius 😮 . I’d love to send them back mine to get credit for a newer model 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much for talking about the warranty. I did not know they had the warranty and I called them up because I have the X4 and the felt has come unglued multiple times. They just needed proof of purchase and a couple pictures for the warranty claim and I believe they are going to send me the X4S!
Happy to help! Wish I could have sold you one though... lol JK, Enjoy!
Awesome man. Gonna purchase one tomorrow with your link! Need one for my upcoming vacation trip.
Sweet! After you do, follow up with Bak and get a $100 Visa card!
Great video, looks to be the best cover for my needs out there, don't have my truck yet (yeah laugh it up, I'm going with a Ridgeline very soon, I call it a truck, but even the doubters have to admit it is a REALLY nice minivan) but this is on my shopping list and will be purchase #1.
Awesome video! I’m sold and getting one for my AT4.
Great review, just bought one based on this. Thank you!
I ordered an x4s through your link. Thanks for the comparison and review. That was exactly what I needed.
You’re welcome! Thanks for the support!
@@TruckOwnership101 after owning it for a couple months how do you rate it? I really want to get one but I’m worried about how long it will last considering the reviews I have seen of the x2 and the x4 regarding the vinyl ripping or the glue coming off. How many years do you think it should last and how has it been for you so far?
great Vid, in the market and shopping for a hard roll cover. 1. by accident i get your video. 2. from Farmington. 3 grad from Rsmt. 4. go to this carwash a lot ... what a coincidence !! Thanks for the in-depth look at the X4s. i think this is the one i want !!!!
Lots of trucks at that wash lol. We know what to look for. You're very welcome!
Love the videos man! Definitely would like a cover for my 20 RST!
Just installed my x4s…
2 big quality control issues with mine.
One end cap was broken from the cheap plastic they use to secure in place with.(hopefully customer service sends a replacement)
Very thin metal shavings inside the rollup that got everywhere while installing.
Install was easy and it looks great. Lets see how it holds up in a few months now
Clear and concise explanation, great video!
Thanks! Much appreciated. I spend a lot of time toiling over what to say and what to edit out later on every video lol. 😅
Great review, im planing to upgrade to this cover as well just one more thing is missing from it a secure lock where u can lock it to the rail on both sides so u cant slide any hook under and pull on those wire and open it until u unlock it with a latch with key or something. If it would have that would be the perfect cover still im gonna get one !
Did you end up getting one?
Love my rolling retracting bed cover one click and it does the work for you
Water tight to
I have the same issues, felt coming off,rubber peeling up, straps snap. This was my 2nd warranty replacement same issues. Now I’m waiting on my 3rd cover, I will say the warranty they give u is great, never a issue with getting the issues resolved. Great customer service.
mine x4 is 4.5 yrs old and is really coming apart The cover is seperating on the edges and cracking between the slots. What is the warranty process?
After one year my X4S was delaminating all the way around. Getting a warranty replacement was like pulling teeth. I've seen the same complaint all over the web. Even with a new replacement cover, I wouldn't buy BAK again.
I've had three of those covers, and I love them; I just bought a new 2022 GMC Sierra AT4, and I have it shipped to a Linux dealer in Placerville, California. I'm want to have them install it; I installed the other three, but I've severely torn my right rotator cuff, and it's worth it to let them do the installation.
I WOKE UP ONE DAY COULDNOT RAISE MY arms past my elbows 21 pt session later I say I will watch a pro do it
Great video, even better super troopers reference!
Nice review. Minnesota Tacoma owner here... My felt came off on my original revolver... and I soon learned that the felt is to protect your fingers from getting pinched in between the aluminum slats (maybe not because of or in addition to hot aluminum slats as you point out). Beware.
There's a $100 rebate going thru BAK until 06/18 for those that haven't gotten a tonneau yet!
The felt tape falling off issue was of concern for me too, really happy to see that they fixed that issue and the small stuff too! Nice pointing out the new way the tailgate seal works, I let people borrow my truck from time to time so know where you're coming from.
Saw that too, wanted to put it in the video, but it wouldn’t age well 😅 thanks for letting the people know!
They are out stock pretty much everywhere I looked
Awesome video!!
Going to get one of those. 👍🤘🤜
In addition to my other comment, the felt on the interior X4 which is designed I understand for noise reduction also had a glue failure.
I am going to order this new cover, I love the way you showed the old one and what you would like to see fixed, I also love the new design of the tie down strap. My /18 sierra has original cover and I really like these roll ups with the slats that are very strong. Great video.
Thanks! I’ve reviewed a few more covers since this one and it’s still a top recommendation for me. 👍 Enjoy!
@@TruckOwnership101 I jut seen the one you did when you removed this one, and you installed the bike rack. I really like that one but I really didn’t want to spend 2k for a cover.
@@Jbmc65 ha. Yeah, that’s a tough spill to swallow for sure. It’s gotta be a game changer for how you travel to justify that purchase.
Really awesome bed cover I live in aus wondering if they do overseas model trucks
Now I gotta spend almost 1 grand to buy this. Wallet and wife not going to be happy. But at least I’ll be! Great review.
Thanks! With the 5 year warranty you can’t go wrong!
Thank you for your presentation. I thought it was well done.
I had the x2 for 4.5 years. It was great. Almost no water came in except for at the tailgate from the top seal/ends where it doesn’t seal well. Fast forward to my new truck and the X4s disappointed. The first one the aluminum slats came apart just from rolling it on the 3rd day I had it. The second one that sent me wasn’t wide enough to lock into rails. The third one is leaking water through the top vinyl. It’s not repelling water at all and is still full of water days later. When you roll it up the water seeps out onto the side rails and down into the bed. They’re sending me an MX-4. Love the look of the X4S but I’m going to take my chance on something else. Thanks for the thorough video.
Just tried to install my x4s today and it’s defective. Hope this is not a trend with hoping to get a replacement
@@brentkarmason4422 what’s defective on yours?
My mx4 leaked and was defective.
They sent me a replacement and still water came thru the panels. Too much water gets in the bed. Now they are sending this roll up cover, I’m hopeful but not confident that this one will work for me.
Nice review. Thanks
Definitely need to get me that gator tool 😮
The new one is a definite improvement, but I've seen complaints of the corner pieces at the tailgate end falling off. I'd still choose the Truxedo Sentry. Both are same manufacturer and same price point.
Agreed. As that’s what I ended up getting
I have had 2 of the bak covers.
I live in Texas and yes it’s always hot in the summer.
I think that the first cover I had on my 2014 f-150 was the aluminum model with some type of vinyl cover.
My latest F-150 2020 was same cover.
Both no problems in the first year of ownership.
The second summer for both the underlining May for rolling covers up fell off.
The glue would not hold them up.
I tried to repair each one with different glues but to no avail.
Now the cover I put on in 2020 just literally fell apart.
The vinyl cover on top the aluminum slats started shrinking and I mean shrinking.
Last week I tried to roll it up and upon trying to lock it back the slats just came apart and of course the vinyl let go.
I removed it and took it to the curb.
I think it’s time to move on to a different cover!
@boogiedahomey I am glad I see this post before placing my order. In Texas as well. How about the warranty? Did they get you a replacement?
You can eliminate the need for that retriever tool by installing a truck bed mesh cargo net. They work great for securing groceries and/or packages from sliding around the cargo area.
Unless your bed is full front to back. Yeah yeah, you can roll the top. I get that. But being an older dude with failing knees... I can see where that would come in handy and save me from climbing in and out 😁
Gota a link to that product?
Add a cut up pool noodle to keep reach tool from making noise!
Thanks just ordered one
You’re welcome! 😁
If you look in the bed of most pickup trucks near the rear, you will find an indention or molded slot for a 2x4, or 2x6 or whatever 2x you like on each side to slide a board across the bed about a foot or two. This is to keep crap from sliding toward the front of the truck like groceries or pop. Install one and you won't need the walking cane to retrieve junk that made its way to the front.
Great work 👍🏻
I just installed an X4s on my truck. I have the tonneau closer to the tailgate. When I first installed it I could close the tailgate manually but it wouldn't close all the way using the fob, it would drop again. I left it closed and the heat of the sun formed a seal against the tailgate. Now it closes on its own and has a much better seal. I haven't taken it through a car wash yet but I have to assume it will work better. I'll report back.
My X4s doesn't keep the bed completely dry, but I never expected it to. The tailgate gets wet, not soaked. The rest is mostly or completely dry. I'm happy.
I am on my second one ...the first one began to unseem itself I began to see the white insulation on the cross slats
Great video. Do you know if the Adarac Pro rack system is compatible (fit) with this rolling tonneau cover? Thks
Great video & review. I subscribed to follow the channel and are buying the gator tool now. Couple questions to see if the end caps are still holding up. Have seen a few complaints about these popping off in short period of time. Also I just bought a Tundra SR5 (delivery next week) and wondering if you can install racks for Thule type carrier or kayaks, etc with the bed cover? Thanks!
I saw some of those too. Mine were not but I could see what they were talking about so I threw some double sided automotive tape in there just so I never had to worry.
Love the new version. Only drawback is, when I load my truck. The locking latches restrict me from using the full width of my truck.
I'm concerned I would bent or break those latches if I was loading something heavy and near the sides of the bed. Anyone have that problem or am I being paranoid for no reason?
I had to choose a bed cover for a company truck GMC AT4. I had just a few minutes on the fly to let the office know what i wanted so they could order it for me. I google searched for a roll up bed cover and I saw this one and picked then sent the link to the girls in the office. I was told by the installer that it was the best roll up cover on the market. I was very happy with my 2 minute search. Never once did it leak and looked great. I changed jobs and had to give back the AT4. I just recently bought a new Chevy Z71 and will be buying one for my new truck as well.
I have the exact X4 cover. After 2 1/2 years, the glue failed on the right side. I do not keep it in the garage. I live in Florida. The heat seems to have taken a toll on the glue and in fact, the vinyl pulled away on the right side of the vinyl top such that it had to be replaced. Thankfully, it is being replaced under my Ford F150 three year warranty just before it expired. I’m not sure if they are going to replace it with the X4 or the X4S. We’ll see.
I had a bak flip g2 for 12 years, it didn't leak, very protective against theft, but plastic clips broke over time, and the plastic clips on the end broke, and it was impossible to see when i put my tires n it
Awesome review. Just ordered one today!
I was wondering if one could have roof racks mounted with the revolver x4s system installed. Has anyone done that?
I have a BAK Revolver X2 from 2015 with a TracRac SR sliding rack that I added in 2017, which has worked very well. If I remember right, the TracRac sliding rails are mounted through the stake pockets of the truck, and I think there are some hard rubber shim strips between them and the truck rails to keep it all level.
Been using that kind of stick for over 9yrs
Awesome video ! Great review ! How’s the rubber holding up at the corners closest to the cab ? Are they peeling back or anything cause I’m not sure if I saw that they had the plastic covering like it did at the corners at the tailgate
Zero complaints on this cover so far. Everything is holding up great!
Thank you
buying one through ur link! wish me luck !!
Thank you! You’ll love it. Best cover for your money in my opinion. Ive been reviewing a lot of covers since this one and it still holds up.
Pray tell comrade..., would there be a little rod or crank that could slide in the end of that roll, so as to roll it up or unroll it past the wheel well of a duly pickup?
I have a '21 Tacoma TRD Off Road 5' bed - how would you compare the X4S to the Truxedo Sentry CT? Thanks for the review!
I just put on a New x2 revolver on my 98 chevy as of today 3/19/23
After looking at reviews after the fact ..I’m nervous too see the long term hold up /quality 😮 I jumped the gun on buying before I read .
I also see that “truxedo century” is the same design . Any reviews on which is better ?
Does anyone know the build material difference from x2/x4 and does the x4 rattle make noise while driving like the x2 . That’s my biggest complaint is the noise
The MX4 had tubes that drained the water out. Do the revolvers not have that?
Try rolling that when it’s bin in the sun ouch 🔥🔥
Looks like u would need an umbrella to keep your things dry when raining
Great video!! Just wondering if a bed extender would be able to work with it? I seen other videos with the older model. That the locking levers would get in the way of it flipping in and out of the bed
The locking levers are identical to the old one, so they still might be an issue depending on the bed extender.
BAK needs to come out with a rotary opening knob like EXTANG did with the XCEED. Thieves have found ways to stick wires in betwwen the cover and tailgate to hook the pull wire and open the cover no problem. I had an XCEED on my last truck and wanted to get one of these roll ups on my new one, but I'll go for the EXTANG XCEED, hard flip cover again, strictly because of the rotary opening knob. EXTANG has even upgraded their most popular cover, the SOLID FOLD with a new rotary knob. BAK definitely needs to catch up on this, in my opinion. I just found out that EXTANG has an upgrade for the XCEED, called the ENDURE ALX.
Just got mine delivered and it`s missing all of the hardware. Hopefully their customer service is good.
Do you have any special pricing for the X4S? Really like my X4 however the X4S really looks like a better design. Great review.
Any issues with dirt or dust being hard to clean off the top? Dirt stains?
My questions to you all, does anyone put a dirtbike diagonally in their truck bed. I notice the side rail sticks out 2 to 3 inches taking away from side to side space. Will that side rail bend with a bike tire up against it? Does the cover roll up enough for you to slide a dirt bike in?
I'm considering this cover for my Chevy truck. Have you ever had any issue hitting or having something catch on those locking latches that stick out?
I tried three times to get this cover. Not one of the three fit and I got my money back. They don’t seem to care at all about their customers. I did at least get to see the build quality and it didn’t seem like a great long term solution.
If your not sure if your tailgate is down check the backup camera.
“Ain’t nobody got time for that!”
How much weight will these covers take on top?
Great video and review. Very nice cover. One thing I didn't see was drain tubes attached to the rails at the front of the bed like on the folding covers. Does this cover require drain tubes like the flip covers? I apologize if you included it and I missed it. I was busy while trying to watch this video so I stopped and restarted a few times and may have missed that part. Thanks.
No drain tubes on this one. It makes a seal all the way around the top perimeter.
@@TruckOwnership101 Thanks for the quick reply.
Great review! This is the route I am planning to head. 2022 Ram 1500 with Rambox coming next week. Any feedback on if it will fit the Rambox or a contact at Realtruck that might know?
…on a fun note, we’re in Lakeville right down the road from you.
Nice! I actually like to go to Bak’s site and run my truck through their system to double check the part numbers with where I buy from. They might also have notes on the Rambox.
Hi...Texas here..what are they doing for the customers that are experiencing the liner that has come unglued! Is there a repair kit that they can send out?
Thx
Too soon on this x4s, but with your x4 did you have winter time issues opening and using the cover?
Hello, does anyone know the part number of the rear corner cap of the new X4S? Where can I get it online? Thanks
Hello and also grate video, can you possibly send me the instructions that you have to install this cover?
I just ordered one. Can’t wait to install. Question, noticed you have a cash mount phone holder. Which one do you have?
amzn.to/3kB11zC
Thanks for the video. Quick question, Does this utilize the deck rail system that the Toyota tundra has?
No idea, just tired it on the Chevys. Is it like a T-Slot system? I’ve seen other bed covers use those.
Did you say the bed cover can be partially rolled back or needs to be fully rolled back when the bed is in use for bigger items?
Im looking for a cover for my truck.... do you know if they give a military discount??? Not a bad cover, but not affordable for many people!!!
How does the cover do in cold, freezing weather? I've seen a few YT videos of them unable to unlatch or roll.
You should do a video on the new one - the X4TS
@@_ready__ already got the request in! It will be my next video! 😄
I just bought the x4... had no idea they had a newer model!
Both have a 5 year warranty and are great options. My dad bought my 2 year old X4 as soon as he heard about this video lol.
@@TruckOwnership101 i guess the most things i am envious of are the new color and tie down mechanism. other than that, it appeared to be mostly cosmetic upgrades, but still nice upgrades!
Hey, What's the height of the bed cover ROLL when it's open on timestamp 14:13?
My felt came completely off.
The heat doesn't bother me it's the pinching of the hand that is bad as you unroll the top.
Thx for the vid.
How about you just put the truck in reverse..that should tell you if you left the tailgate down..🤔
can you lock them at any position or are they either fully shut or fully open?
Great video! I have a quick question, how secure is the cover where it meets the tailgate? Is it easy to pry up? Thanks!
Pry you mean? I’m sure you could do some damage with a crowbar, but when the competition is fabric you can get into with a pocket knife, I’d call it fairly secure.
Looks like your truck doesn’t have slots for 2x 6 help with cargo rolling around
What about security how good does hold up
How does it do if u put something on top of it before it collapses
