RealTruck Launches BAKFlip MX4 EZ-Lift Tonneau Cover

Engineered at the company’s Ann Arbor headquarters, the new iteration of the popular MX4 line requires only 10.5 pounds of lift force, a sharp decrease from the nearly 30 pounds needed for conventional models. The mechanical upgrade centers on an oversized paddle handle that allows for one-motion unlatching, paired with an automatic locking system that secures the cover the moment it is closed.

Maura Rioux, Senior Director of Brand Marketing at RealTruck, stated that the design prioritizes real-world usability without sacrificing the security or weather-resistant durability expected from the brand’s aluminum-constructed covers. The product maintains a full-folding capability that provides access to the truck bed while ensuring the third brake light remains visible to other drivers. Designed and assembled in the United States, the unit is currently available through the company’s dealer network and website with an MSRP of $1,299.
