Tonneau BAK covers is to love BAK covers.
This weekend I went skiing at Big Bear with my family. I was amazed at how many pickup trucks I saw up in the mountains. I suppose when it comes to skiing, a pickup truck bed and 4x4 cannot hurt. The problem was that over half of the trucks I saw were filled to the brim with snow. To be honest, It makes you question how smart people are. I did however come across a guy that had a BakFlip tonneau cover on his truck and I couldn't help but stop and ask him how he liked his tonno. I was amazed at how much he liked his BakFlip. I can actually go out on a limb and say that he didn't like his BakFlip, he LOVED his BakFlip. For one, he had no snow in the back of his truck and being an avid skier, felt confident and comfortable locking up his skis and gear in the back of his Toyota Tacoma. He went on to tell me that he frequents the mountain during the summer months as well and how awesome his BakFlip tonneau cover comes into play when he and his wife load their mountain bikes into the back of their truck by simply flipping their BakFlip out of the way. We spent about five minutes or so chatting and couldn't help but make mention of a Dodge Dakota pickup truck parked right next to us that had a silver one piece Snug Lid tonneau cover on it. It looked great, but wouldn't do much good for the guy that loved his BakFlip, because he actually used his truck for his bikes in the summer, among other things. It was at that moment that I realized that people who have owned a one piece tonneau cover like a Snug Lid would probably really love a BakFlip so much more, if only they knew about it when they were faced with the decision of what hard tonneau cover to buy. For one thing, they would be able to use their truck like a truck, instead of a station wagon, not to mention saved a considerable amount of money. I suppose that to know BakFlip is to love BakFlip, but as they say in life, all to often, ignorance is bliss!

Making better tonneau covers
Making a better tonneau cover requires an intimate understanding of why people need a truck bed cover. Focusing on what's important from style to fit to function to operation to security are all factors that need to be considered. It is not enough that a tonneau simply has one or two important features. In order to be the best, a tonneau cover should include features that go above and beyond. Ultimately, the best tonneau cover would be there when you need it and gone when you don't. at BAK Industries, we feel that our passion for making covers has resulted in a finished product that you can be proud of. One that will weather the test of time and offer an outstanding addition to your truck.

Click above to see the BakFlip installed on a Chevy Avalanche. We decided to recreate the OE tonneau cover that comes with the Chevy Avalanche, because we felt that OE fell short of what a really good tonneau cover should be for their Avalanche. As we saw it, their OE cover was cumbersome, tended to fade over time and just wasn't use friendly in the slightest. We felt that having to remove each panel separately was ridiculous. A tonneau cover is supposed to offer advantage to you as a truck owner. If it offers security and then creates 5 disadvantages at the same time, then it's just not worth it. So, when we designed the BakFlip tonneau cover for the Chevy Valance we set out to give it all the best features that the BakFlip offers, like great security, cutting edge contemporary aesthetics, a built in drainage system, easy installation and our trademarked uniqueness of allowing full, unobstructed access to the entire truck bed, without having to remove the cover.
