Hard folding tonneau covers are among the most popular aftermarket accessories for pickup trucks. With easy operation, great security and weather resistance, and the versatility of near-total bed access when open, it’s easy to see why. There is no shortage of options when it comes to choosing a hard-folding truck bed cover, so to help you make the best choice, we review the similarities and differences between the BAKFlip MX4 and Extang Xceed.


Shared Features

  • Hard Folding Cover: The cover is made of lightweight but sturdy aluminum and is opened by unlatching and folding the panels back toward the cab.

  • Finish: A matte black finish gives the cover a sleek, modern look, which matches many OEM accessories such as bed rail caps and tailgate caps.

  • Easy Installation No drilling is required to install the tonneau cover. Bolt-on clamps are included, which attach the cover to your truck bed rails.

  • Universal Tailgate Seal: You can close the tonneau cover whether your tailgate is open or shut thanks to the two-way tailgate seal.

  • American Made: The cover is made in the USA and protected by a five-year warranty.

To open the cover, pull the string latches that hold the panels in place.
