| Owners say | Seventeen say they have or had one (posts that only say "Bakflip" aren't counted, since BAK sells several look-alike covers); one ran two, and four later moved to a different cover. Only three describe water in their own bed: one leak at the front seal over a spray-in liner, and two beds that stay dry or close to it. | Of six owners who name it and mention water, three say it doesn't leak and three get a little; none describes a wet bed, and only one of those reports covers a full year. Four owners rate the latch's security, praising a cover that can't be opened with a coat hanger or without dropping the tailgate, and owners like the short four-panel stack that stays off the rear window. |
| Our verdict | The MX4's ratings and tailgate for less on most listings, with an FRP top and a thinner owner record. | A four-panel folder with a strong latch and a decent water record, from a maker that no longer lists it. |
