BAKFlip MX4 Hard Folding Tonneau Cover Suitable for Ford F-150 SuperCrew 6'5 Bed by BAK Industries
The BAKFlip MX4 is a hard folding tonneau cover designed to suit Ford F-150 SuperCrew models with a 6'5 bed. It gives the tray a clean, low-profile look while adding practical protection for tools, camping gear, recovery equipment, and everyday cargo.
Built with aluminium panels and a full matte black finish across the top of the cover, the MX4 is made for drivers who want a strong, tidy-looking cover without a bulky appearance. The matte-finished cab corner caps, clamps, elevator bolts, rail end caps, and upgraded bumpers help give the cover a more complete, factory-style finish.
The folding design gives you quick access to the tray when you need it. The cover can be driven in the 2/3 open position or fully open position, giving you more flexibility when carrying taller or awkward gear. Upgraded prop rod clips help hold the cover securely when opened.
The MX4 also includes EPDM seals and upgraded seal end caps to help improve water resistance. Like most tonneau covers, it is designed to reduce water entry rather than make the tub fully waterproof, so sensitive gear should still be packed accordingly.
Installation is designed to be straightforward, with no drilling required for the cover itself. Drain tubes are included, although drilling may be required on some vehicles depending on the tub setup.
Why Upgrade?
The MX4 is a practical upgrade for F-150 owners who want stronger tray coverage, cleaner styling, and better everyday usability than a basic soft cover. Its hard aluminium panel construction gives added protection, while the folding design keeps the tray accessible when you need to load larger items.
It is built for regular use, with upgrades to the prop rod clips, rails, elevator bolts, and bumpers to improve function and finish. For work, touring, or general weekend use, it gives the F-150 tub a more secure and polished setup without overcomplicating access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this specific to the SuperCrew body style, or does it fit other F-150 cab configurations?
This version (SKU UF-BAK-00036) is designed for the Ford F-150 SuperCrew with a 6'5" bed. The SuperCrew is the four-door full-length-rear-seat variant. If you have an F-150 in a SuperCab or Regular Cab configuration with a 6'5" bed, the tub dimensions may differ between generations, so it is worth confirming compatibility with us before ordering.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes the hard folding tonneau cover panels, side rails, mounting clamps, a full hardware kit, drain tubes, and an installation guide. No additional parts are needed for a standard installation, though some F-150 configurations may require minor drilling to route the drain tubes depending on the tub layout.
How much weight can the MX4 support when closed?
The MX4 is rated to support up to 400 lb (approximately 180 kg) of evenly distributed weight when closed. This suits laying flat gear across the panels. Weight should be spread as evenly as possible across the full cover area rather than concentrated on a single panel or hinge point.
Can I drive with the tub open or partially open for taller loads?
Yes. The MX4 can be driven in a 2/3 open position or with all panels folded fully toward the cab. The 2/3 position keeps the front section of the tub covered while leaving the rear open, which suits gear that does not fit under the closed cover. Upgraded prop rod clips are designed to hold the fully open cover securely against the cab while driving. Always confirm the cover is properly secured before moving the vehicle.
How does the drain tube system work, and does it need to be set up during installation?
The MX4 includes drain tubes designed to channel any water that accumulates at the front of the tub rails away from the bed floor. On some F-150 configurations, routing the drain tubes may require drilling small holes through the bed side. This is noted in the included installation guide. BAK recommends reviewing the guide for your specific vehicle setup before commencing the installation.
Is the MX4 compatible with the F-150's factory tailgate step?
The BAKFlip MX4 is generally compatible with the standard F-150 tailgate. The factory tailgate step folds out from the lower tailgate panel and in most configurations does not directly conflict with the cover's mounting rails or rear seal. However, clearances can vary between F-150 model years and tailgate designs, so we recommend confirming fitment with us if you have the factory step fitted and want to ensure the rear seal and latch system function correctly.
How does the MX4 hold up under Australian conditions including UV, dust, and corrugations?
The MX4's aluminium panel construction and matte black finish are designed for year-round use in varying weather conditions. The full matte black coating is UV-resistant by design, though the longevity of any coating will depend on exposure levels and maintenance. EPDM seals are generally well-suited to both heat and cold without significant deterioration. For extended outback travel on corrugated roads, it is worth checking that the clamps and hardware remain snug periodically, as sustained vibration can occasionally cause minor loosening over time. Refer to BAK's installation guide for torque specifications when re-checking hardware.
Does the cover affect access to the F-150's Pro Power Onboard outlets if fitted?
The Pro Power Onboard outlets on the F-150 are typically located in the bed side walls or on the bed floor, and the tonneau cover sits on top of the bed rails rather than sealing against the side walls. In most configurations the outlets remain accessible under the cover when it is closed. If you need to run cables from outside the cover to an outlet inside the tub, confirming the outlet position against the installed cover clearance is recommended before relying on this setup.
