Chevy Kodiac Tonneau Cover
With a starting price of 70k, the Chevy Kodiak is not a pickup truck designed to nip up and down between home and the corner store. It's a real beast of a pickup! As such, BAK Industries chose its BakFlip F1 and BakFlip HD tonneau covers to compliment the Chevy Kodiak.

According to the engineers at BAK Industries, a tonneau cover for the Chevy Kodiak had to have a few important features that would render it perfect. Here's what they are:
1. The Chevy Kodiak is a large, high truck. As such, the tonneau cover couldn't be too heavy. It needed to be light enough to operate with ease, yet strong enough to match the burly nature of the Kodiak. Weighing in at just over $50 lbs and only weighing a fraction of that when opened in increments, the BakFlip tonneau cover for the Kodiak seemed a natural choice. The BakFlip could still handle over 400 lbs of weight on top of it as well. The height hurdle of the Chevy Kodiak tonneau cover was therefore overcome.
2. The Chevy Kodiak tonneau cover needed to allow full access to the stake pockets. Recognizing that this truck is built to haul and work, the stake pockets seemed to be an important feature that shouldn't be eliminated, just because the truck accommodated a hard tonneau. Since the BakFlip fits inside the bed rails, this was a no brainer choice as well.

3. The security aspect was also important. relying on concealed latches and an OEM key to lock the tonneau, seemed to be a natural fit.
4. Style! The Kodiak is a flashy truck. It's a "look at me" vehicle. It' says that you've arrived in more ways than one. And so, the stealth, all aluminum, flush mount aesthetic appeal of the bakFlip seemed to be a natural fit.
5. Full access to the truck bed. The Chevy Kodiak is a large truck. Therefore, the tonneau cover on the bed is large as well. Imagine the nightmare of having to remove a huge hard tonneau cover from the truck, not to mention find a place to store it. A soft cover would be like showing up to the prom in a pair of flip flops, and retractable tonneau covers or poorly designed tri-fold tonneau covers for the Kodiak would simply not do. The BakFlip tonneau cover for the Chevy Kodiak won out on this point as well. Folding up and down in a matter of seconds will give you full access or full covered security. What could be better than that?
