    I have the Armor Flex by Undercover. Very similar pros and cons to the UltraFlex Extreme that Taco Latte 19 has except mine doesn't have carpet inside. But it does have a LineX type coating on the outside that should help prevent being scratched easily. All 3 panels can fold all the way up to basically open up the entire bed. You can also shut the tailgate when the tonneau cover is latched down (the first pic looks like it's sitting uneven on the tailgate, but that's just the angle of the pic. It sits tight all the way across)

    Yes. I did do the warranty. They are saying, and I’ll try to link the email if I can find the last one, that the weather stripping isn’t a defect. It’s how I open and close the tailgate. As for the dents and scratches, they are telling me that it’s normal wear and tear. Which I can sorta get but not fully.

    Bakflip MX4 here. Had since Nov 2020 with no major complaints. Bought off Amazon for less than $900, shipped 2 day, but got delayed due to driver error. Got them to credit me $50 since I'm a prime member and they were at fault. Installed super easy, retains but lowers the factory rails. Keeps most water out and looks great!

    I think the BAKFlip MX4 looks good, but I wanted more.

    I have had 3 different BakFlips on 2 different Taco's. I will not get another. They do not stand the test of time.

    How long have you had your MX4, I am considering the same one and was curious how it holds up in the AZ sun. Thanks in advance

    Had it on the truck for a year now (had it put on a couple days after I bought the truck) and it still looks brand new. Bought it and some nerf bars at Truck Access Plus (35th St. & McDowell) and they installed both. Good guys!

    BAK RevolverX2 Tonneau Cover
    I'll throw another plug in for BakFlip. I have a 2019 Taco with a 5'2" bed, and I have the X2 on it. I was trying to load some items in the bed when the wind whipped the cover up over the cab. The antenna on the cab placed a tri-cornered tear in the center of the vinyl. I called BakFlip, and after several emails (all friendly and informative), I was informed they will ship out a new X2 cover to replace the damaged one. All I need to do is send them photos of the destroyed cover. I will have to "carve a large X on the top of the cover." They would also have substituted any of their covers for ½ price had I decided to change to a newer cover.
