Got my backflip MX4 for $860 0n ebay from a seller that took best offer. Easy to install, folds up for full access to the bed and looks great.

I went with the hard tri-fold LOMAX cover.

Super easy install, excellent product.

Has not leaked at all, use all the time, and very easy to completely take off.

I'm new to trucks and clueless on this topic.  So a hard folding style is preferred style vs. a soft, rolling or retracting?

I just put the Truxedo Pro x15 on my truck, had a folding hard cover from Tonnopro for the last 5 years and just got tired of the poor quality and having to remove the cover to get full bed access... If you're considering a BAK roll-x, look at Truxedo Sentry, BAK has a bad rap for customer service, Truxedo has a really good reputation for standing behind their products...

Just bought a LT Trail Boss and had the dealer install a OEM cover, now the tailgate won’t go down automatically.. do any of you have this issue? Is there a fix?

That’s the same as the Bakflip Revolver X2/X4. Mine works fine with the power tail gate and therefore it should also work with your auto-release gate. 

 

More than likely you just have to loosen the cover and slide it forward a bit if the seal is hanging up on the tailgate. If you take all the clamps loose and close the tailgate, it should push the cover into the right position to work correctly.

Truck Gear by Line x stealth...same as bak mx 4 but comes with a lifetime warranty!!

Matte finish as well?

Do you have any pictures? And do you know the difference in the Stealth abs their LXP model?

I’m not home to take a picture at the moment....I did not ask about the LXP model because I wanted the matte finish not the glossy black. The Stealth is actually made by Bak (MX4) model...I assume the LXP model is made by the same company. Just a different badge on both models. U need to call a line x dealer and ask the differences.

i did not want the gloss black so I didn’t inquire about it at all. Sorry!!

So I've been paying attention to trucks around me at work, checking out who's has what/which cover, and the one caught my eye as being what I'd like is a Bakflip G2 on a new F150 KR (in a beautiful dark blue).  Super flush, great looking fit from what I can tell.  A few other's that I saw were on the lower end of the price range and you can tell, especially in regard to the flush fit.

Think I am going to go with the UnderCover Armor Flex.  

Good call.  I love mine.  Very pleased with quality, fit, finish and so far, durability.

Does your tail still come down own it’s own? Or does seal on cover keep it up?

Nope, doesn't stick up or down.

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
