Product Description

The BAKFlip G2 (Generation 2) Truck Bed Cover is the newest generation of the original hard, folding multi-panel tonneau covers. This cover has black scratch- and UV-resistant ABS panels, so you have all the security of a locking hard tonneau cover and have instant access to your entire truck bed. The innovative BAKFlip G2 cover folds all the way forward and up against the truck's rear cab (rear window) giving you access to all of your truck bed without removing the cover. The BAKFlip is also easily removable with two fastening knobs and weighs only 40 pounds. What's more, the BAKFlip doesn't interfere with stakehole pockets on your truck, so it works perfectly with side rails, headache racks, tie downs, overhead truck racks, and more.

Pros:
Installation doesn't require that you drill into your truck. Flip design works great, adds functionality other one piece or roll up covers don't have. Lowers road noise more than I ever could have imagined.
Cons:
None yet, but I could see that the rubber material in the hinges and the latch mecahnisms could break down in a 5+ years. That is better than any other cover could do, but hardly lifetime as the manufacturer claims. Drain tubes don't really provide any decent way for the water to get out, forcing you to create your own solution.

Thoughts: Installation while simple, requires some fiddling to make it fit right. If you don't fit it carefully, it does leak. be careful not to over tighten any of the bolts. I bought some brass press on hose fittings at the hardware store, fitted them to the drain tubes and epoxied the fitting end to the existing bed drain holes, it worked great and looks better than the factory suggestion. I did drill open the bed drain holes a little larger, but you could get away with not doing it. So Far, no leaks

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice but Leaks, October 4, 2006

I've had one installed about 6 months ago. Good cover, easy to install, light weight, easy to fold to make room for large cargo. Low profile, does not interfere with bed pockets.

Down side is it leaks at the seams. Folding soft covers with one piece vinyl do not leak in the middle like this one. Don't put anything in bed that you don't want wet.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: BAK 26406 BakFlip G2 Toyota Tacoma Truck Bed Cover (Automotive)

I purchased the BakFlip G2 one month ago as a birthday gift for my husband. We had been talking about buying one for a while, and since we were traveling for the holidays it seemed to be the right time.

The cover worked as promised! It rained overnight after we installed it, and the bed was still dry the next morning. Then between Christmas and New Year's it snowed and melted several times and still no problems.

We only have two complaints, which are definitely not deal breakers.
1. Took longer than described to install. It took my husband and his friend about 45-60 minutes to finish everything, though they said if they had to do it again it would probably take less than 30 minutes as advertised.
2. When driving with a tall load and the cover partially flipped, it will try to flip back over if not tied down. This is easily remedied with bungee cords, but still a pain if you are not prepared.

It's also a bit pricey, but we definitely got the best deal on Amazon. Overall we are very happy and I would recommend this product to anyone!
