[@philbuck365]

I like the idea of being able to see out the back with the revolver. what I don’t like about the revolver is it looks like it’s vinyl so somebody might stick a knife in it to rip it open. Yes they wouldn’t get in, but they would damage your whole top. With the backflip it’s easy to take it off when you put that big item in and it’s light enough and narrow enough to set it inside the bed. Plus when you look at the backflip, you know it’s aluminum so you know you can’t easily break in. so my choice is for the back flip.

[@spencerjohnson5474]

Take it from me, if you are thinking about getting the Revolver, reconsider. Mine hasn’t held up. It’s almost 3 years old, but the vinyl has shrunk and is coming unglued, and the felt strips on the bottom were falling down within the first summer in the Mississippi heat. I’m extremely disappointed in the longevity of the cover, especially considering the $1000 (give or take) that I paid for it. I feel as though I have taken care of it the best I can. It has had sun exposure for essentially 3 years straight, but then again, the bakflip on my dads 2012 Tundra while a bit faded is still going strong.

[@jerryreyna9198]

Very same experience with my revolver, I guess it just can take the South Texas heat. My cover started falling apart at around 2.5 years.

[@MrDEVO1118]

Doesn’t it have a 5 year warranty? File the claim and get a new one.

[@brianbolton8199]

Same with mine, 2.5 years, the replacement no longer has felt, as in this video it has rubberized material in place of the felt, and it was replaced under warranty. The vinyl to aluminum/rubber looks more solid. We’ll see if this last longer.

[@5thGenNativeTexan]

Exact same experience. I've had two Bakflip Revolvers, my neighbor has had two, and my brother in law has had one. On every single one, after 2-3 years in the Texas sun, the vinyl starts shrinking and failing around the edges. I'm thinking going with an MX4 the next time around.

[@scottwolff228]

They stood by their warranty, They said they changed vinyl supplies after the first 18 months of the 4x and it should hold up better. They sent me a new one.

[@cjwalstad]

I had the Revolver on my Chevrolet High Country for a couple of years. I liked it but the revolver had to be completely closed or completely open. I sold the Revolver and purchased the MX4. The MX4 can be opened one panel at a time. So if I only need my truck bed open 1/4 or 1/2 of the way, I have the option. Really like the overall look of the X4S, however the MX4 works better for me. Great video.

[@BalticHomeImprovement]

I have revolver x4 on my truck. I would rate it 3 out of 5. It looks good and easy to operate but it leaks quite a bit around the tail gate, freezes in the winter and you can not open it, also had a headache when some sand got it the rails because it's almost impossible to clean it. Had to take it all appart. Couple good things about this cover is that it does not block rear window, it works with a Tracrack SR and thats why I bought it in a first place.

[@gmoney9068]

I've had the Bak Flip on my 2017 Silverado for the past 6 years. Even though the Revolver looks great unfolded, I'd still go with the Bak Flip (again) when I decide to buy a new pickup. Thank you for sharing this video, gentlemen. It was very informative.

[@marksydor3108]

Why would you choose the backflip?

[@gmoney9068]

@@marksydor3108 Mainly because I'm a creature of habit. I've had success with my current Bak Flip so I see no reason to switch. Also, I live in the desert southwest and the sun beating down on the vinyl of the Revolver would destroy it. Both look nice but once again, the Bak Flip is my choice.

[@Yielar1]

Same. I've owned the MX4 Bakflip since 2018 and would buy another or possibly the F1 by Bakflip for the higher end finish look. I have the bed camera so it still allows be to look at cargo in the bed if needed

[@darrenpatrick2609]

My older trucks I always had a tool box in the back. My new Chevy came with a roll up cover that I wanted to keep and I was able to find a tool box that fits up tight to the front of the box and allows me to open the lid to gain access. The roll top is the only cover that would allow me to do this and have a 5th wheel hitch.

[@forster46]

Great comparison. I've been set on the X4S for awhile now but someone local is selling an MX4 for half the cost of new, so I've been going back and forth. I think I'm still gonna go with the X4S. Biggest reason is being able to see out my back window with out fully open. Plus I like the cleaner look vs the folded one.

[@spencerjohnson5474]

Don’t get the revolver, I have one and am very disappointed in the longevity of it. Trying to save you the heartache that I’ve had. Trust me!

[@NickyNicest]

I also don’t like how the mx4 actually leans up against your truck when opened. I think I’m just going to go the cheap route and get a rough country. Seems crazy to pay $1k+ for one of these.

I love the Lomax. I can take it off and put it back on in 60 seconds. 3 years old and still holing up great.

[@B-Rad-Gee]

I’m looking at lomax as well, but i saw a vid where the last pannel looked fairly easy to pull up with your hand, wondering if it’ll be pretty easy to pull it up enough to slip a coat hangar in. I know a thief will get in regardless, but it just looked too easy. What’s your experience with it?

[@asphaltspecialties]

@@B-Rad-Gee I just went out and looked at it and yes someone could lift it up and get in but you can only lift maybe half an inch and you need to get lucky to pull the string. I have stuff back there all the time and never had anything stollen in over 2 years. cover still works as new

[@vid1fl]

Was in the market for a bed cover and never considered the roll up due to the fact they’re usually vinyl and velcro. I like the X4S and hope they have one for a 8ft bed!

[@jfmadigan]

Watch the MX4. They tend to leak at the fold over joint. Was told to apply sealant to fix myself. They did send me a replacement, but it also leaked

Been through two MX4. They do not like hail. Changing to a Revolver X4S

[@chrisdunntv]

Great walkthrough guys! Thanks for the effort - Very helpful!

[@josephpuchel6497]

Hey They are both nice covers. I like a hard cover over a material. Not sure of revolver material over aluminum could eventually weaken and loosen being rolled up constantly. Backflip appears to be more solid and strength. I checked out Diamondback and Renegade hard covers. Great for top notch security purposes but I’m not going topside for hauling purpose. This leaves BakFlip. I think they company should come out with a headache rack to match up with BakFlip being fully open but not touching rear glass. I know there’s arms on both sides but you never know. I’m probably going with the BakFlip. Excellent video tutorial.

[@RobertGowell]

I put the Revolver on my 2022 GMC 1500 Denali, I am now having to replace it as it’s falling apart. The adhesive has failed on the slats and internal carpet in 2 years. I loved the cover operation and features, but not happy with wear and tear. Considering the MX4 or the Under Cover flip up.

[@PeteKnapp04]

Thanks for the excellent and comprehensive review. Ordered the revolver from your link.

[@TruckOwnership101]

Thanks Pete! Glad I could help! You’ll love it. 😊

[@rolexshine923]

If you live in any hot environment i highly recommend going with the mx4 which is essentially an upgrade to the bakflip g2 which ive owned for 4years, my truck stays outside in the south florida heat and it has aged very well, i know its a bit more work to operate than the revolver but to me it is well worth it, i just bought a brand new truck and based on my personal experience with the g2 it is a no brainer, i will be going with the mx4

Awesome video!! Very descriptive. Thank you just what I was looking for to make my decision.

[@denniscoleman8311]

I have the X4s revolver, on 2017 Ridgeline RTL-E. I like it much better than the 22:13 tri-fold that came with the truck. These are my complaints; in the upstate New York winter, if there is any snow melt, the cover freezes in the track. I have had a number of complaints regarding the end caps just disappearing. The company has been very good about replacing these at no cost. Attempts to glue end caps have not been successful, nor has silicone applications. Last I heard, there was a new end cap being developed. Waiting to hear back.

[@mitchelltuscan8626]

Same

[@musschootski]

I have the Bakflip for my 1500. Planning to get the Bak Revolver for my next truck. Same reason, rear window access. I found that the little arms don’t keep the tri-fold secure at highway speeds all of the time. Looks like revolver takes up less forward bed space.

[@DocRickJr]

As the owner of a roll up cover I can say that two of my biggest gripes are that there is no factory recommended way to have it partially open. If I need to haul something and if any part of an object sticks up higher than the bed rails then it technically needs to be FULLY open. Not a fan of that. Also, the vinyl nearest the tailgate gets creased after some use and it eventually splits and cracks open.

[@billmcmurtrie1142]

My experience with the Revolver cover in California wasn't a good one... I had an X2 and not only did the felt/ carpet strips underneath come unglued from heat, but the vinyl covering shrank away from the sides, cracked and came unglued.

[@spencerjohnson5474]

I’ve had the exact same experience. My vinyl covering hasn’t cracked but it has shrank and it is coming unglued. The felt strips that help keep you from getting pinched when rolling up the cover came off within the first summer in the Mississippi heat. When it does get icy here, you can forget about rolling it up lol. I’m extremely disappointed with it considering the $1000 price tag. It’s barely been 3 years and it’s basically toast. Meanwhile the bakflip on my dads 2012 tundra, while it does look a bit weathered, still going strong.

[@TCinSoCal]

I’m so torn on these. I think I’m going Revolver as neither really support gear loading on top. I don’t want to lose 12” of bed length so roll/canister option out. I need full access & don’t want to give up 150 lbs of payload so Diamondback is out. I like that Revolver covers the bed, doesn’t block the window and I can easily remove it for full access if needed.

[@josephpuchel6497]

Hey Not sure if I ask. Which one did you choose ? I’m looking into both and others but keep coming back to these. It’s for a newer 2022 F250. I have older 2004 Dodge with original ARE top.

[@TCinSoCal]

@@josephpuchel6497 I went Revolver. Only quirk is little end caps can pop off if you don’t press them in flat while rolling up. Overall it’s been a good solution. Simple.

I think the revolver looks better on truck and gives better access to the entire truck bed whenever you need it.

[@RH-qk5lt]

I'm picturing using both of these during a Northen IL winter. After owning a roll up cover in the past, I know I'm going to have times when there's maybe ice or snow on the cover and I'll need to open it. The Roll Bak may present some issues in this case. I'd like to see a video with ice and 2" of snow on it and see him roll it open.

You cannot open in the winter. It freezes into one big sheet and latch does not work

What would you think the best would be for up in Canada with snow, currently have a tri-fold does not give full bed access and can freeze up in the winter, I like the roll up but I would question scraping the snow off of it do you think it would damage it and or rolling it up with a bit of snow on it that won't scrape off? Thanks.

[@omarramirez2335]

I’m not sure which model I have but mine has an exterior seal similar to the ones on the sides of these and it’s so irritating because it gets in the way of closing tailgate to where I have to close tailgate first then slam the cover shut that way the seal stays over the tailgate and not tuck itself inside

[@guanobucks]

I had a backflip for 12 years. In winter on ram 1500, only issue was rubber freezing to tailgate. Fluid film each year fixed that. I’m wondering on the revolver how does rail work in winter w freezing? Second issue with backflip was over time the insulation has absorbed water making cover very heavy. I was going to cut slots in bottom to tru to allow to dry or replace insulation. Any ideas on that?

[@jimchauvin7958]

Love the revolver but in winter can be a issue freezing with ice making it not lay down or open properly

My Ford F150 was purchased 12/2021, a BAK Revolver X4 was added with the original purchase. It has a Ford emblem installed either by a licensed third-party purchaser or by BAK. ANYWAY, THE TOP VINYL PULLED AWAY FROM the glue, as did the felt underneath. The third-party vendor replaced it 7/5/24 and no more felt, it has rubber brackets in place of felt now. My question has to do with warranty, if you know. I’m being told there’s only a 1 year warranty on the replacement, but I’m also hearing that BAK has a 5-year warranty. Do you know what the warranty is? Great video, thank you!

[@scratchsescape1978]

I'm switching from an MX4 to a to an X4s. I love the MX4 so why am I switching. I tow a light weight fifth wheel and I have to fold up against the rear window in order to hitch the trailer. In all honesty that really hasn't been much of an issue for me but is a little inconvenient. I'm getting a bit "long in the tooth" and that last fold up against the rear window while standing beside the truck using one arm is getting to be something of a strain. I've had the MX4 for over 5 years and like it but I feel for my purposes it's time to try a change.

Heard there can be issues getting it rolled up whenever the temps drop...any insight would be appreciated because that's my only draw back from pulling the trigger on one of these today

[@ChargerDad]

I'd also like to know. This seemed like the best tonneau but now that I've installed mine (X4TS) I'm wondering how it will hold up and operate in the cold, ice and snow. I don't park in a garage. I'm hoping I don't have to thaw it out at the car wash when I need to roll it open in winter. Great videos but wish he waa more responsive to comments and questions.

So with the Revolver, its either all the way open or all the way closed? No option for 1/3 or 1/2 way open like the X4?

[@dominickthompson220]

Correct. That’s my biggest hangup with this cover. Without it locked in place (fully closed) that aluminum channel has no way to secure the cover down if it were only partially closed, which I find pretty valuable on my current retractable.

Thanks for making this video. I have owned Ram 1500 (6'4"), 2500 (6'-4"), and 3500 (8' bed). Now I have the Chevy 1500 High Country and I was wondering if the flip would block the bed view of my high brake light camera, it looks like it would so I'm going with the X4s. I had the X2 on my 8ft bed and loved it! The issue with flips is they are heavier the farther you have to flip back (more sections to lift). Too much weight with the 8 ft bed. I gave the X2 one push to close it and it rolled all the way from start to the end. In Florida, the material falls off in high heat, but the X4s has rubber along the length in stead of glued material.

What I don’t like about any bed cover no matter what brand is the matte finish it SUCKS, you can’t wax them or ceramic coat them if a bird shits on the cover it’s difficult to remove. Even washing the cover will leave water spots. I don’t understand why the manufacturers don’t make the covers with a smooth finish so they can be waxed like the rest of the truck.

Revolver for sure does since it’s seal actually pushes the gate open. The flip has those seals on the top that could grab depending on how you adjust it. Better sealing out moisture might cost you that auto drop. A power down and up gate seems to use the motor for down vs gravity. High countries might never have these worries lol 😅

I currently have the back flip installed, but somehow the last panel nearest the tailgate blew off. Fortunately nobody was hurt, but it was shocking.

[@TruckOwnership101]

@@ericpiekarczyk2009 it only locks when the end of the cover presses down on those levers. That latches every slat. The best covers for partial coverage are the canister covers in my opinion. But then you lose some of that bed space…

these covers with the wire pulls to release, I feel a wire coat hanger would get someone into them in 2 seconds.

Cool vid! 😁

[@aodwyer]

Thanks for the vid, this was great. I am going to go to my local dealer to buy the MX4 today. Do you have a code I can give them so you can get the credit? If not, I will tell them about this channel in hopes they somehow give you your due credit. Thanks.

[@aodwyer]

Bought the MX4 at my local dealership. Showed your vid hoping they could somehow give you credit in the order system but I don't think they were able to do so. Anyway, thanks for the vid and helpful info. Love the MX4 already.

[@QuickShiftMoto1]

I think the major disadvantage of the Revolver is the lack of a drainage channel like the MX4 has. If water gets past the seal, it will leak into the bed. On the MX4 it will run into the drainage channel and drain into the drain tubes.

[@jondirive]

They are both made with a drainage channel. I owned a Bak Flip as well as the revolver X2 on different trucks. and they were both dry.

[@stevendrums1]

I bought a mx4 from real truck. I had it installed by an authorized dealer. It leaked after light rain. Too much water was getting in. BAK industry sent me a brand new mx4. I went to a different company to install and this one is still not stopping plenty of water getting into my bed and destroying my gear. The company has incredible customer support and they back their product. But at this point I’m losing confidence

[@bulldog7196]

@@stevendrums1Interesting. I'm trying to decide on a cover for my new Titan. Water "resistance" is my main concern.

[@ryanbruggeman1381]

Have you had any issues with the revolver not rolling up easily in MN winters?

[@BalticHomeImprovement]

You won't be able to open it in the winter. It freezes shut like a huge piece of metal.Even worse if you forget to close it before it freezes 😅

[@BalticHomeImprovement]

It also leaks inside especially near the tailgate and rubber seals get wrinkled over time and glue gives up.

[@dgvette1]

Could 1 older guy do the install? Which one is best?

[@TruckOwnership101]

I’d say the flip is easier to install solo. We both liked the revolver better due to how it rolls up nice. Both are excellent covers. It comes down to personal preference.

[@randyc.1766]

Im trying to find the motorized bakflip they had for the avalanche, anybody got any ideas, the one that flips and stowed on top of the cab????

[@jondirive]

I have one more comment/question, and I'd like to know if you guys tried this. My High Country has a power tailgate. I'm wondering if the tailgate will go up and lock in place, on its own power, with the Bak tonneau locked in place. Do you know? Or will I have to push it closed manually?

[@wendellbirch8174]

With Bakflip How did you get the neoprene gasket to stick to the spray liner in the trailboss

[@TruckOwnership101]

Clean it good, then alcohol wipes. Sticks fine. It gets pinched into place anyway. It’s not going anywhere.

[@jk240sx]

The mx4 has terrible fitment for my ram power wagon with ramboxes. Installed today and theres 1/2 gap on tailgate. 3/4 inch gap on each corner because the rails arent correctly sized and 1/2 gap at the bulkhead.

[@GAMERpro-ws7ur]

Which one would we say is the best for theft proof?

[@TruckOwnership101]

I’d say they are equal. Both latch down the sides in multiple places and are locked if the tailgate is up. Neither will be theft “proof”. But their going to need a lot more then a pocket knife to get into it like most covers.

[@honda116969]

Can't go wrong either way when u got them tweekers on the prowl trying to steal your shit! Lol. I have the MX4 tonneau cover but that revolver is badass as well. I'm happy with my purchase Bakflip makes great products & so does ROUGH COUNTRY, Their new one comes in $4-500.00 cheaper than Bakflip MX4 & almost the same thing... Lil different design on the kik stands that hold it up but overall same thing. The model they made prior $649 did not fold up against the window but they just released the newer one that does $749 way better than $1200 if your on a budget. & Must of us are cause that corrupt bastard Joe Briben 🖕 lol

[@andrewgaffka3525]

What is the rough country model you are referring to?

[@honda116969]

@@andrewgaffka3525 they have a couple different models just look them up. It's right there on their website two different ones for the prices I put

Looking at the X4s, how do I go on RealTruck and you get credit?
