Revolver X4 Bed Cover on a 2019 High Country Short bed

The Revolver doesn’t interfere with my power tailgate at all. The seal for it goes against the backside of the tailgate so it works nicely.

 

I wouldn’t buy anything that works like the Sentry if you have to leave it popped before shutting the gate. Too much hassle and I would imagine it also interferes with the remote release function too.

 

Not sure what you mean by locking in the middle.

 

Thanks! Yeah, the idea of having to shut the tailgate, THEN close the cover is just antiquated IMO. 

 

By locking in the middle, I meant that the Sentry CT has a function that locks the cover to the rails halfway along the cover. This prevents someone from prying in half way through the cover. 

 

However, I just watched an eTrailer.com video on the BAK R4 and it shows that it locks down on the rail the WHOLE WAY. 

 

MUCH better. I think I found the right cover for my RST.

I’m sure a determined thief could destroy their way in but overall it’s as secure as anything. Much better than a soft cover at least. I’m very happy with it.

It does, but the locking mechanism is at the tailgate and it can easily be defeated. Once you pop the end latches, the entire cover releases.    

 

Im waiting on a replacement cover now, and will take a video of my self breaking into the old one with no tools before I remove it.

 

I wish they offered an actual locking option on this, doesn't even need to be a key, but cross bars or latches that could be locked from the inside would be nice. 

 

 

 

With that said, I am going on my 3rd X4.  Hopefully this one is close to perfect.  A lot of Co workers went out and bought one after I got mine, and theirs are all perfect, but I (and other 2019 owners) have had a lot of issues with these.
