100% Truck Bed Access

 All BAKFlip tonneau covers provides 100% full truck bed access. Whether it be the F1, G2 or HD, every cover folds all the way open and prop rods lock the cover to allow driving in the upright position. This is ideal when loading large equipment, or whenever you require full truck bed space. The tonneau cover is securely held in the upright position against the cab so you don’t ever have to remove it.

Easy To Use

Every cover can be opened easily with quick release cables from either side of the cab. This makes getting in and out of your truck bed as simple and easy as possible.

Incredible Security

With your tailgate locked and BAKFlip cover closed, you can be assured that your truck bed is secure. The quick release cables are hidden away, and without unlocking your tailgate, there is no way for intruders to get in.

Partial Bed Access

BAKFlip Tonneau Cover | Auto Truck Depot
BAKFlip covers can be locked in partially opened positions with the built-in buckle system, which holds the cover securely in the folded position. Even with the cover partially open, you are given complete rear window visibility so you can drive anywhere safely.

Weather Resistance

EPDM rubber will keep your cargo dry and secure even in the most extreme weather conditions. The covers are sealed around the edges and in between the panels to securely keep out not just moisture, but dust and dirt as well. Whether you're on the job or out at play, BAK has your back.

No-Drill Installation

All BAKFlip covers install easily with the use of clamps that mount the cover to the rails of your truck bed without any need for drilling. This means no lease agreement breaches, no modifications to the vehicle, and a quick installation that will get you on the road faster.

Automatic Latching System

Each panel cover automatically latches when closed to ensure security and ease with operation. There is no need to carry around extra keys, just close the cover and your truck bed is secure.

Sleek, No-Profile Design

All BAKFlip tonneau covers sit flush to provide a streamlined profile and sleek look. The low-profile also increases gas mileage!

Third Brake Light Visibility

BAKFlip HD Tonneau Covers
BAKFlip covers can fold past 90 degrees to allow full truck bed access. BAK knows trucks, and they know what it means to use their own equipment. Even with the cover propped all the way open, no lights or OEM safety equipment is blocked.

Protected Cab

The cab is protected when the cover is in the upright position with built-in bumpers that shield the cab from contact. The bumpers act to protect both the cover and your cab from damage from shifting cargo when the cover is open past 90 degrees.

Access to Stake Pockets

BAKFlip FiberMax Tonneau Cover | Auto Truck Depot
All BAKFlip covers are designed to provide full access to OEM stake pocket holes. This ensures you will never lose valuable mounting options or the ability to add other accessory options.

Easily Added Organization

How To: Measuring Your Truck Bed for a Tonneau Cover

Before purchasing a tonneau cover or other truck bed accessories, it's extremely important to know the size of your truck bed. It's not as straight forward as checking the advertised length, though. The process of finding the actual bed size of your truck is a commonly asked question, so today I will be giving you the information necessary to get the right number.
When measuring your truck bed, you must measure from the bulkhead to the inside of the tailgate. Measure flush against the inside walls of your truck bed straight across from the bulkhead to the tailgate. Note that it is from inside to inside. *See image for example.

Note: Keep in mind that the advertised truck bed length is rounded from the actual measurement and may be off slightly. This example table shows the actual size in inches compared to the advertised length in feet/inches.
