This is a full install of the Toyota Tacoma 2023 Bakflip MX4 Tonneau Cover. Easy to install and provides full coverage of the truck bed. Buy this on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3ZbnGVd The BAKFlip MX4 was the first matte-finished, hard folding cover to market, becoming America’s #1 Selling Hard Folding Cover in just a few years. Simply put, the MX4 just looks better than other covers. Its sleek no-profile appearance allows you to maintain the appearance of your truck, while enabling you to securely stow cargo in the bed. The MX4’s pioneering, textured matte-finish adds a premium look and feel while also protecting against UV damage, annoying finger print marks, and scratches. MX4 has everything you expect from a premium cover. The engineers at BAK Industries fine-tuned even the smallest elements of the cover, down to adding cab corner caps and rail-end cap, to extending a matte-finish throughout the cover’s side rails, clamps, and elevator bolts. The MX4’s integrated buckle system and automatic latching mechanism allows you to drive with the cover partially or fully opened without covering the 3rd brake light. For 100% bed access, simply unlock the cover from either side via its pull latches and fold the cover all the way up against the cab. From there, you can prop the cover in place by tightening two rods into the underside of the panel. For enhanced durability, the MX4 also features pre-molded, shock-absorbent bumpers on either side of the panel, protecting the folded panels from hitting the cover during turbulent driving. Rain or shine, the MX4 provides confident cargo storage that’s complete with dual drain tubes to divert water away from the truck bed, as well as full perimeter seals to help protect against water intrusion. Finally, the MX4 can hold up to 400lbs of evenly distributed weight and is backed by a 5-year, hassle-free warranty. BAKFlip MX4 is proudly made in the USA with globally sourced materials with a US-based support team. .

About This Video

In this video I walk through a full install of the BAKFlip MX4 hard folding tonneau cover on my 2023 Toyota Tacoma (short bed). Before I even got to the install, I had a pretty wild ordering experience—Amazon delivered the wrong cover twice (first for a Ford, then for a Chevy) before I finally got the correct Tacoma model. I also talk about the odd request from support to “prove” the mistake by drilling holes in the wrong units, which I’m pushing back on because I’d rather not create unnecessary waste. For the install, I show what’s actually in the box (rails, hardware, foam, drain tubes) and the basic tools you need—mainly a T30 Torx bit and a drill/impact. I remove the factory tie-down rail, install the BAKFlip rails with the included brackets, then reinstall the factory rail using the smaller screws so you can still use your tie-down system. I also cover mounting the latch hardware by hand (no impact), aligning the cover, and adding the foam pads so the folded panels don’t bang into the truck. Big takeaway: that front weather strip is only needed if you don’t have a bed liner—mine interfered with sealing, so I removed it. I also chose to hold off on drilling for the drain tubes until I see how much water intrusion I get after a few real rainstorms, because no cover is 100% waterproof.
