Looking for Feedback from Bak Roll-X / Revolver X2 Users

Hey guys I'm needing to get into a new tonneau for my '14 Sierra. I am considering the new Revolver X2 but, since it's just an updated roll-x I would like to know from users of the Roll-X, how do you like your cover?

 

I'm looking for something that's mostly water tight, if a few drops get in after a heavy rain I don't mind but, I don't want several ounces puddling in the truck bed. I really like the look of the roll-x and I don't think you can beat the functionality of a rolling cover for full bed access.

 

Thanks for your feedback!

 

FWIW my other serious contender is an Extang Solid Fold 2.0.

I love my Roll-X have had it on for 2 years now. 1st I love that it doesn't need any drains, so no worries there. 2nd, because there's no hinges, I've never had water come into the bed. 3rd, it's really easy to roll up and get full access back, plus when it's rolled up, it doesn't block the back window to drive. Lastly, because it's metal underneath, someone can't just cut into it so I feel pretty confident having stuff back there. Obviously it's not going to stop a criminal determined to get in there by any means and wrecking the whole thing, but it's enough of a deterrent.

Another reason that I love the Roll-X that I forgot to mention, you can open and close the tailgate without having to pop the tonneau up. Many Tonneaus make you pop up the tonneau, close the tailgate, then close the tonneau. Becomes a pain in the ass, especially if you have someone closing it that doesn't know that's how it's supposed to close (ruins the seal). With the Roll-X it's no prob.

said this in aother thread... it's well worth the $$ in my opinion. dry, secure, easy to open, roll up and doesn't block rearviews,

no cannister to deal with. Was easy to install and have not had any issues to complain about.

I've had mine for over one year...the only recurring issue I have is that the wing nut on the left side rubs my amp bed extender slightly. Minor water leaks around the tailgate and front corners but none from the side rails or the bulkhead.

I guess I stand alone... I had such a bad experience with Bak that I will never go back and I'll never recommend their products.

I've had mine for a year and love it. A little water does get in when I go through the car wash and snow got in the bed this past winter - but I think that's because I plow snow.

I see the OP is in Cleveland so it gets as cold by you as it does by me, so expect it to be difficult to roll open when it gets really cold. It's such a pain that I just crawl under it rather than struggle to roll it open when it's really cold.

I had mine installed and they used two thicknesses of weather stripping under the front to get a better seal - something you may need to do if you get one.

Mine is great had it since Oct 14 Only water leaks are through the rear stake pocket/handle but only drops and few drops can get in from the top of the tailgate.

One thing I would warn about that Truxedo Titanium, is that yes the top is metal just like the Roll-X however it looks like they're still using velcro to secure the rails. That's not going to be secure and definitely should be easy to break into. With the Roll-X, it actually rolls into the hinge of the rails, so you can't lift it up by the sides. Just an fyi

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
