Tonneau Cover Comparison: BAK Revolver X4ts Vs. Top Competitors

BAK Revolver X4ts Vs. BAKFlip MX4 TS

First, let’s take a look at the two BAK-made tonneau covers—the Revolver X4ts and the BAKFlip MX4 TS. Both bed covers are built to last from premium materials, including aluminum base structures. However, most other features differ. 

For instance, the Revolver X4ts is a hard roll-up bed cover, while the BAKFlip MX4 is a hard folding tonneau. Functionality-wise, both bed covers are easy to operate and offer full cargo access in the open position. They’re also highly secure in the closed position, featuring patented locking mechanisms that prevent unwanted bed access. 

That said, each cover installs and operates differently. Whereas the Revolver X4s requires approximately an hour to install, the MX4 TS cuts install time in half to just under 30 minutes. 

If pricing is a concern, the MX4 TS also comes out on top. Entry pricing of the MX4 TS starts at just $1,349.99—$200 less than the X4ts. The same 5-year warranty backs both bed covers.  

BAK Revolver X4ts vs. RetraxONE XR

Next, let’s take a look at the RetraxONE XR—an impressive retractable bed cover offering sleek aesthetics and practically effortless operation. 

The RetraxONE XR is manufactured from durable, aluminum-reinforced polycarbonate. Its hard finish is easier to clean than the textured leather-grained vinyl covering the Revolver X4ts. 

Though their design differs significantly, both tonneau covers are built well and engineered to last. While both feature covers that effectively roll up to the bulkhead, the X4ts offers a more conventional form factor. The RetraxONE XR, by comparison, rolls into a fixed canister at the bulkhead. While the RetraxONE XR’s design does better protect the bed cover while rolled up, it also cuts into your truck’s cargo area, reducing usable bed space by approximately eight inches. 

Pricing is another area where the covers vary, as the RetraxONE XR comes in at approximately $200 more than the Revolver. However, you could view the extra cost as a worthwhile investment, as the RetraxONE XR does include a superior limited lifetime warranty. 

BAK Revolver X4ts vs. Roll-N-Lock M-Series XT

Up next is another retractable bed cover—the Roll-N-Lock M-Series XT. This premium, retractable bed cover is sleek, stylish, and secure. Like the Revolver X4ts, the Roll-N-Lock M-Series XT features an aluminum slate construction with a marine-grade vinyl overlay for sleek styling and superior weather resistance. However, this is essentially where the similarities end. 

Both covers operate differently, as the Revolver X4ts is a conventional roll-up bed cover, while the Roll-N-Lock is retractable. As with the RetraxONE XR, this design means that the Roll-N-Lock slightly reduces your truck’s usable cargo space to accommodate the canister. However, if you rarely haul oversized items in the bed, this likely won’t be an issue. 

While secure, stylish, and easy to operate, the Roll-N-Lock M-Series XT does come at a higher cost. Base pricing of the M-Series XT comes in at $1,849.99—approximately $300 higher than the Revolver X4ts. Despite its higher price tag, the Roll-N-Lock includes only a three-year warranty—two years less than the X4ts.

BAK Revolver X4ts vs. TruXedo Pro X15 TS

Lastly, we have the least expensive truck bed cover on this list—the TruXedo Pro X15 TS. Don’t let the Pro X15 TS’s inexpensive price point fool you into thinking it’s any lower quality than other offerings on this list. While starting at just $699.99, this premium soft roll-up bed cover offers exceptional utility. 

Integrated T-slot side rails make securing gear mounts, racks, and other carriers a breeze, while a weather-resistant woven canvas top provides exceptional cargo protection and sleek, matte black styling.  

Installation and operation are both simple—however, it’s important to note that cargo security is significantly reduced when transitioning from a hard roll-up tonneau cover, like the BAK Revolver X4ts, to a soft roll-up bed cover, like the TruXedo X15 TS. While this bed cover is a theft deterrent, as it hides your valuables from view, motivated thieves can slice through the top in seconds with a sharp blade. 

If cargo security is a serious concern, we’d recommend a more secure option, like a hard roll-up, hard folding, or retractable bed cover. However, those who don’t regularly transport valuables or leave them unattended won’t complain—especially when weighing the TruXedo’s inexpensive price point and impressive limited lifetime warranty. 

Final Thoughts: Which Tonneau Cover is Right For You? 

When it comes to premium tonneau covers, the BAK Revolver X4ts easily holds its own—offering a refined hard roll-up design, excellent build quality, integrated T-slot utility, and a solid 5-year warranty. Compared to its top competitors, it strikes a strong balance of security, style, and function. However, your ideal choice ultimately depends on your priorities.
