    I have the Bakflip. Works as it should. Don’t expect any of these to be water proof.

    None. Won't ever do a folding cover again. The closest would be the MX4, but I hate that you no longer can use the last part of your bed or in the MX4 case, if you do, you can no longer see out your rear window. If I were to do another Tonneau, I would get a retractable one.

    I was leaning towards the MX4. But i like how the G4 has a latch from both ends so you dont necessarily have to open up the tailgate to gain access. @calebc i agree but i dont plan on hauling much payload so im ok with losing a good portion of my bed. Also youre absolutely right about the MX4 blocking the rear window thats a bit of a nuisance for me. Anyways thank you guys for the feed back

    Personally I would go with a simple vinyl roll up one. You can still use you bed and they lock with your tailgate. Unless you plan to stand on it, roll up! I have had it one my 2500 diesel as well as a canyon and now my taco. Never an issue, never had anyone break into it. They work in all weather from AK winter to Florida summer. Simple and they do the job.

    Got the G4, like it . Like that front opens also. Can store things in front portion and back open when you need space . If need to remove 4 bolts and its off. Different ways I used it .Got rid of box so if need full bed can remove everything

    @hemitruk that is nice there! Thats why its so hard to decide most people prefer the MX4.
    How much dis you pay for it if i may ask and where did you buy? Can lt seem to find them anywhere other than the direct website

    I would buy an MX4 again luckily I got a slightly used one off of craigslist for half price from a guy who was getting a Diamondback (which I also considered but for the $$$ I passed).
    With a bedrug, a bed extender, and some tundra bed lights with a constant switch it has been very convienent, I’m going to install a actuator on the tailgate though because unlocking it with a key gets annoying.

    Paid like $1100 I think . Its been awhile . But thats with shipping to Hawaii.
    I heard they dont have any vendor they sell to anymore so yea think you can only pick up from them.
    Edit . Picked up online . Forgot company . Auto garrage or something like that .

    @hemitruk they seem to carry just about every cover except the G4. Would it think it would be a bit more popular. Thank you
