Tonneau Cover Recommendations for 2020 AT4?

[NHM25]

Looking to add a tonneau to my new AT4 and wondering if folks have any suggestions. In particular, I'm looking at two Bakflip models:

 

• The tri-fold MX4 (https://bakflip.com/p/bakflip-mx4-tonneau-cover/v/gmc/sierra-1500/2020/) vs  
• The rolling style X4 (https://bakflip.com/p/bak-revolver-x4-tonneau-cover/v/gmc/sierra-1500/2020/)

 

Have you guys had any experience with either and which would you recommend?

Buddy of mine has the Revolver. Looks nice and of the same quality as the other BAK products. The cover has to be closed first then the tailgate. There was interference with top of the tailgate and cover such that he has to lift up the cover to close the tailgate. It's nice to roll up and look out the back window. 
I chose the Undercover Ultra Flex over the MX4. The finish matches the bed rails better and I prefer how it stands up when fully open rather than leaning on the back glass. Other than that they are pretty much the same.

Thanks for the insight. I realize there are a few other forum topics that align with this one so I appreciate it, as I was picking between the two BAK products. Now, I'm actually looking at the retractable models from Retrax... super pricey and you lose some bed space, but quality seems good and I like the fact that my back window isn't blocked (the rail capable system is also pretty ******).

Where are you located?  Retractable tonneau covers tend to freeze in place if you're anywhere that experiences winter.  I haven't had a problem with my quad fold bakflip aside from the lip freezing to the tailgate (which is easy enough to pry off.)

Good point. I'm in Phoenix... So I'm less worried about snow and rain, and more worried about heat, dust, and thieves. 

 

I'll note that we do a lot of late fall hunting up north, so snow is a factor but really only 2 weeks out of the year.

Ugh. Dust...  I'm not sure if the T1s are as bad as the K2s, but be sure to pick up some weather stripping to go around your tailgate.  Unless you want everything in the bed covered in dust any time you leave the pavement.

I went with then undercover armour flex for my at4. Heard the back flip may get in the way of the stick thing in the bed. No complaints.

Just put this Gatortrax cover on, really like the quality and functionality of this cover! My previous truck had an Extang Encore Trifold, wanted a roll up cover this time, not disappointed!!  With this setup having an unobstructed floor bed works well, the roll up box seem very unobtrusive!

I have the rolling style X4 on my '20 AT4, works very well so far function wise and when rolled up you can still see. Figured it would work better than some of the others for snow/ice time. Only thing I have issue with is the small gap where the tailgate meets with corners.

I went with the MX4 on my 2020 AT4. Install was very easy, took less than 1 hr.

Looks great. I ordered mine today. Set to arrive on Friday. 

 

Big shout out to TruckAlterations.Com. They offered the lowest price around.

That looks great man. I was really considering the Retrax but ended up going with the BakFlip.

Just put the LoMax tri-fold on mine.  Easy install.  Good fit and finish.  Sleek looking.
