TruXedo Sentry CT to Replace My 3 1/2yo BAKFlip MX4

Here I discuss some of the reasons I replaced my BAKFlip MX4 hard panel cover with a TruXedo Sentry CT hard rollup cover. There is a link at the end for the video I made the day before, reviewing my experience with the BAKFlip MX4 over the last 3 1/2 years, and the issues I have had with it.
All products were purchased by me at retail. I did not receive any special discounts or considerations for reviewing these products. I hope that this helps some of you out if you're considering purchasing either style cover, and outline the pro-s and con-s I've experienced with both styles.

Have mine now for 6 months now ( sentry ct matte fabric version) love it ! Stays cool in sun , simple clean looking no keys needed. No leaks

[@OOMAN]

It's been holding up great for me as well. No complaints. Best part still is that I can use the high camera for hooking up the 5th wheel & gooseneck!

This is also from their website Lock Security Security is an important feature when it comes to tonneau covers. Fortunately, it is one of the strongest features of both these covers. For added security, an extra security latch is provided around the center of the cover which works to enhance the security and keep your cargo secure at all times.

This is from their website, Weight Capacity Since both the covers are manufactured using strong and flexible aluminum slats, they can withstand weight up to 400 lbs. This makes them perfect for if you live in a region that gets a lot of snow. However, keep in mind that withstanding weight is not the intended purpose of these covers so it is best to refrain from burdening your covers with extra weight on the top.

Just ordered this same cover, should be here tomorrow! The sales guy was trying to push me towards the folding style but ive seen too many reviews of people having issues and at thr end of the day i wanted a hard roll up. Bak also makes a roll up version but its plagued with its own issues, i think the simplicity of the CT addresses most of rhose problems.

[@OOMAN]

So far, I love this cover! It’s awesome to be able to use the backup camera for the gooseneck and 5th wheel, and see out the back window when it’s all the way open! We’ll see how it makes it through the winter!

[@SliderFury1]

Every single hard rolling cover I researched has multiple people complaining that the vinyl/fabric cover separates from the aluminum panels after 1-3 years. Personally I would never go with one, mostly because I don't like that it has to be either fully closed or fully opened and when fully open, you have no coverage for stuff at the front of your bed.

[@OOMAN]

I've only had this for 10-months now, and have not had any problems with the panels separating yet. I understand the fully open/closed issue, but that doesn't bother me as much as the hard folding panels blocking my high backup camera for the 5th wheel/gooseneck hookup. We'll see how the separation issue holds up...

[@davida7284]

Glad u brought this up, Slider. Would’ve posted this myself as I just learned ppl had the fabric separation issue after a couple years. Sucks because I feel the roll up ones are the most practical. Seems like they all have something that makes them undesirable in diff ways.

[@OOMAN]

@@davida7284 The Truxedo roll-up is still holding up for me after 1 1/2 years+ with no problems. We'll see if it outlasts the BAK Flip...

One Ole Guy 😂😂❤

[@yankeewatchdog6493]

That looks fairly simple. It may not lock, but I see that as no big deal. Should I get one of those for my $100 truck?😂😂

[@OOMAN]

See if you can find one on marketplace or something. I can’t live without one on there. Keeps stuff dry, snow & dirt out, etc..

[@yankeewatchdog6493]

@@OOMAN That would be too much of a pain, being it's a work truck. I'm always throwing stuff in the bed...

[@OOMAN]

@@yankeewatchdog6493 Open it in the AM, close it up at night when you're done or if the weather is bad???... Protects what you got in there. Gotta do what's best for your situation, may not work for you...

[@josephpuchel6497]

Hey so you think it’s made by BAK manufacturing You didn’t show topside view, sides and where it ends at tailgate. Closeup view Nice video

[@OOMAN]

Top side held up fine.

[@lukehaynes481]

How is the sentry ct treating you. I have one that I'm about to replace. Dam thing leaks in all four corners. Tried new seals and still leaks.

[@OOMAN]

It’s holding up great so far. Very happy with it. None of these things are waterproof, lots of that depends on the installation of the seals. This one keeps things pretty dry. Best part is being able to use the high camera for 5th wheel/gooseneck hookups!
