Ford Raptor Tonneau Covers

Ford Raptor Tonneau Cover by BAK

Some pickup trucks are built to impress and the Ford Raptor is certainly one that we at BAK Industries enjoyed getting to know. So when we decided to build a tonneau cover to match the rugged features of the Raptor, we decided to take the route of the BakFlip HD. Our reasons for taking the BakFlip HD route were based on the following factors:

1. The tonneau cover needed to be rugged enough to match the rugged nature of the Ford Raptor. The truck is super tough and there was absolutely no way we'd consider putting a soft tonneau on this amazing machine. We needed something all aluminum and built to withstand severe conditions.

2. The Ford Raptor Tonneau Cover needed to be STEALTH! It needed to be low profile, and not detract from the unique lines of the truck, that despite being built as an F150, is an entirely different animal. The BakFlip HD on the Ford Raptor cannot even be seen from the side of the truck and doesn't cover the unique bed rail caps. Since the running boards match the bedcaps on the Raptor, we felt that from an aesthetic standpoint, the tonneau cover should be all a tonneau could be interms of style, design and function, but not be in your face so as to take away from what Ford wanted to do with the Raptor. BAK did a stellar job of keeping it simple, while still implementing the most capable tonneau cover ever made.

Lastly, we felt that the tonneau cover for the Raptor needed to be cutting edge in terms of function. The new Raptor BakFlip is the only hard tonneau that allows complete access to the bed without removing it. It also integrates with all Raptor bed accessories and utilizes the Raptor tailgate lock in order to lock, providing incredible security.

The Ford Raptor Tonneau Cover by BAK Industries is as much a piece of art as it is a cover that is built to outlast the truck and function and perform as an OEM part.

The new BakFlip is indeed an OEM Ford accessory and is built Ford Tuff!

Tonneau Cover Ladder Racks

One thing that many tonneau covers cannot cope well with are ladder racks and lumber racks. To some this might seem like an insignificant issue, however to those that need a rack, like plumbers, electricians, handymen, Do-it-yourselfers etc., a rack is not a luxury, but an essential. When you consider that a tonneau is oftentimes an essential as well, you would imagine that there would be more tonneau covers made to accommodate racks. The problem is there are not.

BAK Industries has taken a fresh approach to the matter by making all their tonneau covers so low profile that in every instance, you will get full access to your stake pockets! That's really great news for folks that need racks, because essentially, any stake pocket mount rack will work with any BAK tonneau cover. Sometimes there will be some minor tailoring necessary, so be sure to get hold of a BAK tonneau cover expert to ask what racks work best with what tonneau covers.

Also, BAK produces their own tonneau rack systems in the way of the BakFlip CS that work exceedingly well and are quite cost efficient. I know that the popular TracRac also works with BAK tonneau covers, so whether you're a hard core contractor or just a weekender, BAK Industries probably has a tonneau rack to suit your needs as well as your pocket!

Tonneau Covers with Toyota Tundra Utilitrack Rail System

There's been some discussion about how BakFlip and RollBak tonneau covers work with the Toyota Tundra Utilitrack rail system. So here's the skinny on what BAK Industries does when it comes to installing our tonneau covers on Tundra pickups with rail systems:

Essentially we've made a very simple bracket kit that quickly lowers the track system a few inches. In so doing, we are able to clamp our tonneau covers on to work with the Toyota Tundra rail system, a if it isn't even there at all. The whole process takes just a few minutes and requires no drilling. Best of all, BAK Industries provides these lowring bracket kits at no charge! What could be better?

Also, you still get to use your sliding tie downs and your BAK Tonneau Cover on the Tundra trucks so you don't lose any functionality!

Figuring that a pictures can sometimes speak volumes, here's a look at an image which describes the process:
