BAK makes some of the most popular hard-folding tonneau covers you can get for your truck. These covers share many features, but there are minor differences in materials, weight capacities, and more. To help you select the best tonneau cover for your needs, we compare two of BAK’s most popular truck bed covers: the MX4 and the Fibermax.

Shared Features

Hard-Folding Tonneau Cover: The covers are made of hard materials for superior security. They open by folding toward the cab.

Locks with Tailgate: Both covers lock with your truck’s tailgate, so if the cover is closed and your tailgate is shut and locked, your bed is secure.

Accessories: The MX4 and Fibermax mount between your bed rails, leaving the stake hole pockets free for truck racks, tie downs, and more.

Water Resistant: Water is channeled along the tonneau cover rails and drained out of the bed via tubes.

Easy to Operate: Pull the string to release the latch and open the tonneau cover.
