BAK Revolver X4s, The BEST tonneau cover on the market?

I have a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and bought a BAK Revolver X4s fall of 2018. My rolling cover is an older model than this one on the video. I have not had any major problems with the cover. It even keeps out the water fairly well. Six years, and i am satisfied. The only recent issue is a felt strip that is designed to hold the slats from separating has come loose from the underside of the cover. I contacted BAK. Even though i am out of warranty, BAK said they have a newer model of the cover that uses a newer technology for holding the individual slats together, and they wanted to 'do right by me' and has replaced my cover for free. In a couple days, when i am off work, i am replacing the cover. Just roll it up; undo the 4 bolts; remove; put the new cover on; bolt it on; roll it out and done. I have put a lot of miles on my truck, hauling belongings and cargo between Pennsylvania and Georgia, and Florida, through rain, snow, heat, and scorching sun. I am happy with the performance of my BAK Revolver.

[@billsoltys7611]

I installed a Bak Revolver 4X on my 2018 F-150 when new. It looked great and I was pleased with it. Now at 3 years old the covering material has started to crack and split along the rear slats. The rear slats also tend to jam up when folded and make it difficult to fold flat to close & latch it down. You didn't mention the price, but I paid about $1,000 for mine, 3 yrs ago. This is quite expensive for a top that has these issues after only 3 years. I am in Michigan and this truck is garage kept and doesn't stay out in the sun for long periods of time. I also want to mention that the water leaking in at the tailgate may not let much water in when on a level ground, but if you are not parked level, and the front of the truck is low, quite a bit of water can accumulate at the front of the bed.

great video thank you, I have a revolver two trucks ago and then put a mx4 trifold on my superduty. I am getting ready to by a tremor F-150 and I am going back to the Revolver x4s on my new one. So much easier to open and close than a tri-fold and they roller cover has less water then any of my tri-folds. The last two MX4's I have had has a slow leak right in the middle of the cover. Bakflip has replaced it twice and same issue. I too agree I don't expect them to be 100% waterproof (then are not) but when going to the beach suits cases go in the middle and beach chairs, coolers go around the tailgate. great video...God bless

I just put one of these on my Sierra and did a trip to Florida. We had some heavy rain and a little water came in around the tailgate. I will never use a toolbox as my storage as this cover is amazing locks everything in the bed. Not to mention, it looks really good!

[@jeffthornock8671]

Had an earlier version of this cover on my 2015 Ram 2500 which I transferred to my 2019 Ram 3500. Love this thing 90%. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the older versions had buckles on nylon straps on the exterior front of the cover which is what the interior straps/buckles connected to when the cover was rolled up. This worked great except that the exterior buckle would flap around in the wind between the bed and the cab when the cover was rolled out. The buckle would flop around hitting the cab and the bed causing an irritating clatter when driving. I fixed the problem by glueing some Velcro on the buckle and the cover and sticking the buckles to the cover when not being used. This worked great, but looked kinda like a like it was… a fix for a poor design. I see they have fixed that problem now with a more intigrated exterior buckle. My truck was recently broken into when the scum jumped up on top of the cover and kicked in the back window of my truck. Unfortunatly, the rear window wasn’t nearly as tough as the cover since the window shattered easily, but the cover was unscathed by the thief jumping on it! I just ordered a new BAK Revolver X4s!

[@peterray5935]

I have had this cover on my tundra for almost a year now. It has been replaced once under warranty because several of the aluminum slats came unhinged and the cover would not lay flat or lock down. Fortunately the manufacturer came good on the warranty and I had a new one in just a few days. The other issue I have with this cover is it does not like to roll in the winter when ice and snow come in contact with it. So if you need to roll this cover and you live in an area that actually gets winter then this is not the cover for you. I may be replacing mine, but I haven't found a suitable replacement yet.

I've had this cover on my '19 Ram 1500 for 4 years, and I've been quite pleased with it. I have a new Tundra on order, and I'm trying to decide what I want on this next truck. My only really complaint with the X4 was how handled Minnesota winters. Water would seep into the tracks and make it almost impossible to roll up. It wasn't a big deal for me, since my truck was mostly in the garage, but every once in a while it became almost non-functional. Any thoughts on better solutions for harsh winter climates?

Great review of this tonneau cover man!! I’ve been eying up this type of cover because of the sleekness and compatibility with having a motorcycle in the bed (dirtbike and street bike). You confirmed what I was thinking.

[@douglascollins3335]

Very good review of this cover, I will be buying one for my 2018 Silverado. Thanks

[@Rad_MTB_Rage]

The way It locks in is by the metal latch as you look at The aluminum that comes up on the sides once the covers down it locks into those grooves of the aluminum grooves on the cover

[@66skate]

I've owned 5 trucks over the years and always bought Extang Classic Platinum which is a snap down cover. That was discontinued. They had the Black Max which is close but unsnaps on all 4 sides instead of 3. That one is now discontinued as well. Extang no longer has anything I'm interested in for the truck I have on order. I'm looking at Truxedo Sentry and Bak Revolver X4S. I'm leaning more towards the Bak because most say the tail gate will go up without having to open the cover. Some are saying that on the Sentry, you can trim or reverse the the rubber strip and it will then work.

[@elburro75]

I did love the safety aspect of the cover not so much on your water test from the car wash. Im sure that if it was just a down pour the water leakage would be none or way less then the car wash. I have a different cover for my truck that I failed to add a foam strip at the front of the bed. At car washes I get some water leakage but its way way less then you showed on yours. For the amount of money that you paid the safety aspect is great for a cover I think that it could have been better on the car wash test but like I said it is probably non existent in a regular rain storm. Oh and while my cover doesnt have a better security it was way cheaper. I just bought it for improving my gas milage which it did add very little lol.

[@lobochicano]

Wow - I've been thinking about getting one for better security but my Extang Trifecta 2.0, which came with the truck when I bought it a few years ago - only 16,000 miles, doesn't leak in the car wash and has only slightly leaked a little during some severe rainstorms here on the coast. Not sure if I want to switch it out now - thanks for the great job reviewing!

[@tommeier5714]

@@jaroslaw6080 what is the issue with winter weather with the MX4 vs this cover?

[@jaroslaw6080]

@@tommeier5714 . Material mx4 is made of is the problem. Water stays on top of the cover and freezes. It’s impossible to remove ice that builds up, specially when it’s snowing also. Surface of mx4 isn’t completly flat like a window, that’s why ice sticks to it like glue. Won’t work to scrape it. Now that doesn’t sound like a big problem until you read the manual which states you cannot open it when there’s ice on the cover. Doesn’t say why but guessing you will damage it and then your warranty won’t cover it. Where i live temperature is close to freezing or below most of winter so snow melts or sometimes it rains and then it all freezes. Maybe if you live in Canada and have real winter everyday it won’t be that bad but still i will never buy anything from BAK again cause it’s not waterproof and there was no info about it when i ordered mine. There’s a simple reason to why they don’t mention it. Hope it helps to make your decision.

[@kevinw1287]

I have the X4 and like it a lot. I see yours has some improvements. At the tail end of the left and right flexible weatherstripping has some rigid flaps to keep the weatherstripping down, I wish they did that on the front as well. I see along the left and right underside, they removed the felt and replaced it with what looks like rubber or plastic. That is so your skin on your hand doesn’t get pinched in the pivot points of the slats when closing the cover.

[@ruffxm]

The "S" version addressed many of those concerns (X4S). It doesn't help prior X4 owners, but I was impressed that Bak learned the weak points and made improvements on newer models. They replaced the felt with harder, rubberized plastic, improved the end-caps where it latches and improved the clamps that lock it in the rolled-up position.

[@kiwiaudio8462]

Although thats true about finger pinching, the main function of the felt, and now rubber, is to not allow the aluminum slats to rub on the vinyl when you roll it up. The felt on my X2 was its biggest drawback, peeling off inside the first year of ownership. I wonder if BAK addressed the curved front edge of the RAM beds which is another failure point with my X2.

[@kevinw1287]

I recently saw the upgraded one and noticed the bare aluminum underneath is gone, which it also appeared in the video. I imagine they coated the bare aluminum so when the cover is down, items in the truck bed might rub the cover and don’t get black or dark gray from being in contact with the cover. In addition, when the cover is rolled up, it won’t rub bare aluminum onto the topside of the cover.

[@tjavideo]

The rails on these things near the tailgates are unfinished and sharp. Bought one and now returning as they said, tough crap, this is how it is made.

[@jtlong8383]

I hope your X4 experience is better than mine. This is my second X4, as the first one I received the rails were too long for my tailgate to close, and the cover itself was too short. The company replaced both under warranty. The second cover I’ve had for two years. The glue holding the felt onto the underside has released and the felt has come off, and there is a 5 inch split in the top material right in a seam between two ribs. The weatherstripping on the rear edge has come off, and I’ve had to glue it back on. I really want to like this cover, but I’ve had too many problems with it.

I removed it 2) the corners closest to the tailgate have been reinforced with plastic pieces. On mine the rubber seal that runs across the top rails tends to have a very slight rise from curling. Not a big issue just as esthetically unsightly. I might look into retrofitting if it’s possible.

[@ryanstewart1529]

I have owned 2 of the Revolver X2 version covers and both have failed me. The heat of the sun melts the glue that adheres the vinyl material to the aluminum slats. The vinyl then shrinks and pulls away from the aluminum. This occurred at the rear portion above the tailgate on both units and only took 6-8 months. Keeping the vinyl conditioned with product did not help. Maybe the X4 is better designed. I too thought that I had found the best of covers and loved the design, but I was mistaken. Please keep us updated. I wish you the best of luck.

[@jeffthornock8671]

Had mine for 8 years in scorching heat/sun and never had a problem with the vinyl on top. The felt strips on the underside eventually lost their glue though. Dosent effect the functionality, but I think it helps you not pinch skin when rolling the cover.

Hope it lasts longer than my RevolverX2. I absolutely loved it until the 3rd year of ownership when the vinyl started to fail and delaminate.

I have read of adhesive leaking issue with Bakflip products, and a lot of long term issues.

[@jccraveswaves]

They are great for one year in florida then no matter how much 303 you put on them they shrink and shrink. I got a replacement but it did the same thing. I am saving for a Paragon next. Going to break out the duct tape in the mean time.

Since it says this video was post 1 year ago, how has it help up since? I read reviews from the site and from Amazon and there were of course both good and bad but worried about how many bad ones there were. I'm not worried about it being waterproof necessary but wondered how it's help up since posting.

[@docmarshall2251]

Wouldn't that cover be easy to defeat with a coat hanger due to the pull cords?

[@davehuber6949]

You need to look at retrax covers it is a cover that can be locked in eny position I can role it back to my gooseneck and lock it down it is aluminum I can walk on it. Hall stuff on top of it.

[@jbraaap2821]

Great detailed video, way better than any others I’ve seen. I was wondering if you could do an update soon on how it’s holding up and if there are any issues you’ve had pop up

[@GearsGadgets]

I was just thinking about doing an update today. I will do it soon.

[@gerardomartinez707]

I had mine on my 2012 Toyota Tundra and loved it, until after 1 year. The vinyl shrunk and detached from the aluminum and was unable to open or close the cover. Good thing that the tonneau cover was still under warranty and was able to get a new one.

[@GearsGadgets]

I heard that happening with the older covers by the X4s apparently fixed those issues, We will find out soon enough since my truck lives outside in Arizona.

[@gerardomartinez707]

@@GearsGadgets yes, I live in the Imperial Valley in South Cal and we get 118F° weather in the summer and all the adhesive gave up and all the vinyl and felt tape detached. Also, I have a friend that had the same issue on his GMC Sierra, but he was out of warranty. I guess this is a known issue on areas with extreme hot weather.

[@kenhowell2280]

I ordered one for my Ram 2500. It was about a half inch two narrow in the middle section of the cover and would not lock down. The second one was about a foot too narrow and the third one was the same. I called and they didn’t seem to care at all. I got my money back and went elsewhere.

[@mrxenosith8023]

Thank you, your video helped me make my decision. I have been at this for 3 weeks since I purchased my truck. I just made my purchase for this model. As for sticky fingers, I am thinking of a possibility of an electric current, such as for sheep fencing. now that would be funny to catch some videos of people trying to peek inside and getting kissed with voltage.

[@garyturner1383]

I have this on my 2020 F150. I hate it. Vinyl has shrank on edges, and it leaks all the time. You also can't just roll it out over a load. The quad cover used to be able to be out on its own weight if you had items in the bed.

[@patmason7276]

That's not bad because my slide roll up cover leaks in a few different areas.

[@hawkeye5172]

Great review just what I was looking for. Going to order one today!

[@greghinchley6277]

I'm gonna order one for my 19 Ram. My Mopar fabric one has 3 micro rips from ice. I hope I can still keep my bed utility group cargo sys?? Buy a Kuryakyn soundbar plus for your softail.. put one on a RK...you won't regret it. Tks 4 da review.

[@stevevetter8045]

I wish they made these for my Unicorn Truck. I have a 2018 Nissan Titan Single Cab with a 8’3” bed

[@rds990]

Nice....but I LOVE my WeatherTech Alloy tonneau. It's the best possible solution.

[@thatguy-ye7pb]

Made by Lomax I have the Lomax on my truck and it’s by far the best cover on the market

[@vninjadfw]

Great video I had the BAKFLIP MX4 before and loved it, but didn't like that I couldn't see out the back. Currently have the GATOR RECOIL and it SUCKS compared to Bakflip. I think I might try this one next.

[@mohamedbinsilim4443]

The side storage you have, do you have a lock that prevents ppl from stealing it. I have the same something

[@billyepperson7404]

Dude, solid review to where you sold me.

[@canillocanillo3371]

I have this bed cover and it does not hold up to heat. I live in Las Vegas, the cover did not last 1 summer. This cover has way too many parts that are glued, and ALL OF THEM FAIL in the heat. First the 2 inner liners to avoid from burning hands when rolling open detached because its just glued, and that failed. Then the glue and rubber seal of the area closest to the rear window shrunk due to heat, and that ruined the entire vinyl, rubber seal and gasket. Also the entire top vinyl is glued to the actual aluminum tabs, so when the heats hits, it melts the glue causing the tabs to get misaligned and the tabs start pinching on top of each other and the cover does not close properly. And the worse is that water seals from each side is glued to the vinyl, so when the vinyl shrinks due to heat the rubber detached from the vinyl so now the whole thing is leaking and loose. Also all the video show people closing the cover with one hand, while this is possible after a few times doing that, the cover will start to create a dip in the middle from pressing down all the time, its just aluminum so it bends fairly easy. The product has potential to be great, but getting rid of all the vinyl is a must.

[@denhammkc]

I am look at getting this or the Leer HF650M for my Ram 3500 short bed. My issue is i have an in bed aux fuel tank that sits below the bed rails. Could you tell me how far from the bulkhead do these covers protrude into the bed when they are fully open. If you could provide those measurements it would be immensely appreciated Love the channel BTW

[@TheMule360]

You missed 3 important issue....1) No mention of locking the cover in relation to the tail gate i.e. if the tail gate is unlocked, so is the cover. I have a retractable bed cover that can lock from the outside and prevents the tailgate from opening regardless if the tail gate locked or unlocked. 2) No mention of if the cover can be positioned anything less than full open without it rolling closed in the slipstream. 3) You claim any water intrusion at the tail gate will run down the back of the tail gate and out the bottom. Here in the West we have hills and water runs down hill. Clearly in your car wash video. Water is shown coming forward in the bed. So...going down slopes the water will run forward. Better have your non waterproof elevated on 2x4...etc.

[@csgodenver]

Quick question what are the two swinging storage boxes you have on either side of the truck bed?

[@glamphiker]

Which tonneau cover do you recommend that includes the Trax rail system?
