BakFlip VP
The BakFlip VP tonneau cover is a new release for 2012. We decided to make the awesome new BakFlip VP for a variety of reasons. For starters, we felt that it was high time BAK introduce a vinyl style tonneau cover. In fact, we have been working on this one for years. We just didn't want our vinyl tonneau to be like all others, so we decided to be the first company to ever produce a vinyl truck bed cover that is actually rock hard. As with all other BAK tonneau covers, our BakFlip VP boasts being the only one of it's kind in the world.
Even though the BakFlip VP looks like a soft vinyl tonneau cover, it is as hard as any other hard BakFlip cover in our line-up. We begin by producing the BakFlip VP panels out of a strong aircraft grade aluminum, and then we cover the entire cover with a DURABAK vinyl top surface. The result is a hinge-less tonneau cover that can fold, but actually looks like a one piece tonneau. It has automatic slam latches under its durable and rugged aluminum sub structure and is simply brilliant in freezing conditions as well as in hail, rain and even extreme heat.
BakFlip VP
The BakFlip VP will never warp, crack or deteriorate over time. It is designed to handle up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight and operates easily from either side of the truck. The BakFlip VP has a very low (no profile) style and installs with no drilling in just minutes. It is scuff and ding resistant and remains cooler to the touch than aluminum or fiberglass in extreme heat.
Perhaps best of all, the BakFlip VP tonneau cover has a price that is more attractive than any other hard folding tonneau in the business. Leave it to BAK Industries to come up with another outstanding product. The BakFlip VP will met certainly be a tonneau for the masses. Preliminary testing has shown it to be a cover that makes no compromises, and delivers far above expectations in all areas.
BakFlip CS rack with any BakFlip cover
BakFlip CS rack systems are now available to fit with any BakFlip tonneau cover. The BakFlip CS system will also integrate with the BakBox toolbox system, for a world of unparalleled function and utility.
The BakFlip CS system is sports a 500 lb weight capacity rack that easily slides to wherever you need it. It also can be removed in seconds for a sleek contemporary look when you need a truck that doesn't look like a work-truck. The BakFlip CS is perfect for folks who haul kayaks, canoes, skis, lumber, conduit or anything longer than the bed of the truck. And, with the ability to have an outstanding rack as well as a locking tonneau cover at the same time, the options are endless. The BakFlip CS system will turn your truck into a functional tool that looks good and works hard at the same time.
Our good friends at TruckXL recently posted this video of the BakFlip CS on their site. It does a good job of showing the product in full operation.

BakFlip on Canadian Television
BAK Industries is very proud to be associated with Cap-It, Canada's most trusted truck accessory experts. With stores in most areas of Western Canada, Cap-It sells a tremendous amount of BakFlip tonneau covers and are a fantastic company to deal with. Here's a look at the latest TV ad to hit the Canadian airwaves. Thanks to our association with Cap-It, BakFlip tonneau covers continue to be Canada's best selling tonneau covers.
BakFlip FIBERMAX
The BakFlip FiberMax has finally arrived after much anticipation since we first launched the concept at the SEMA show in 2011. The all new BakFlip FiberMax is fashioned along the lines of the most popular BakFlip G2, but gets a newly designed FRP - Fiberglass reinforced top surface for impact resistance, new flush fitting hinges and an a few bells and whistles that render it a serious contender when it comes to choosing the perfect tonneau cover. The BakFlip FiberMax still sports patented features like cab protection (over 90 degree tilting in the upright position) for improved safety, less strain on the rails and cover and less wind resistance, but also includes a list of other great features too.
While the BakFlip FiberMax doesn't quite meet the F1 in terms of being the most heavy duty cover that BAK produces, it certainly will stand the test of time and live up to expectations. The FiberMax is lighter, stronger, more functional and built better than any other brand of tonneau cover in the USA and will ensure years of daily hard use.
here are some of the features you can look forward to in the new BakFlip FiberMax:
• Dual construction panels make them stronger and more impact resistant
The BakFlip Fibermax panels are solid aluminum underneath, giving them the structural integrity you want from the most solid tonneau cover available anywhere, while the top surface is an FRP fiberglass reinforced polymer. This provides impact resistance that will stand the test of time. The BakFlip Fibermax will not ding!
• Upgraded flush hinge system performs better in torrential rain conditions as well as ice and snow:
The BakFlip FiberMax has a flush hinge system. This means less water, dust, snow and other debris can penetrate the hinge seams. This advantage ensures better functionality in areas that are subject to high elevels of snow, rain or dust.
• Integrated robust Cab Protection:
The BakFlip FiberMax has beefed up rubber bumpers that protect the truck cab from shifting loads. The BakFlip panels literally serve as protection for the rear window and the cab area of the pickup truck. The panels will not rub the paint or squeak. Pin-drop silence is the name of the game when it comes to BakFlip tonneau covers.
• Modular latching system
If your truck has bed rail protectors (bed caps) on the sides or a spray on bedliner, do not worry! The modular latching system on the BakFlip FiberMax will ensure a perfect fit every time. The latches are set at factory level to be perfect, but if your truck is different in any way in width, usually due to bed rail caps or bedliners being used, the modular nature of the FiberMax latches allow for easy adjustment in seconds to ensure an optimum, custom fit.
• Tongue and Groove seal construction:
The BakFlip FiberMax uses no rivets or 3M adhesives in its construction. It is designed from the ground up, so that each component works in perfect unison with all others. The side rubber seals are not taped on, but fit to the edges of the panels with a unique tongue and groove design. This means no failures over the long haul and a solid construction that you can feel every time you open and close the cover.
• Automatic front panel latching system:
As you close the BakFlip FiberMax, it automatically latches down to the rails. No manual operation is required and it can be opened and closed from the passenger side of the truck as well as the drivers side. This automatic latching system of the front panel is patented and unique to the BakFlip and provides fantastic convenience without having to run around the truck in order to open and close the cover.
• Integrated rail guides
Integrated rail guides allow you to install the cover like a professional, even if it’s your first time installing a tonneau cover. No measuring, guess work or additional seals are required to attach the cover or the rails. The rail guides authomatically set the height and direction of your side rails, making for an absolutely tailor-made flush fit every time.
• Quick release attachment system means removing the cover or reinstalling it takes just seconds!
The best tonneau cover in snow and ice is the BakFlip
When it comes to the best tonneau covers in snow and ice, the BakFlip is a clear winner. The BakFlip is a tonneau cover that was born to handle snowy, rainy and icy conditions as well as it handles mild climates.
For starters, the BakFlip has a patented rubber EPDM hinge system that is completely impervious to freezing conditions. the hinges cannot leak, rust, corrode, crack or freeze, regardless of how low the temperature gets. Whether you're in Alaska, Canada or Wisconsin, the BakFlip will stand up to the cold. In addition to the ice-friendly hinges, the BakFlip panels are completely insulated, keeping the contents of your truck warmer and dry, while at the same time being resistant to expansion and contraction. this means that they can handle heavy loads of snow without warping or sagging.
Here's a look at a few very happy BakFlip owners with their trucks in heavy snow conditions.
When it comes to tailgating, the BakFlip does more than just cover your truck as well. Use it as a bench, a table or pretty much anything else you can think of. Here's a video of an innovative couple in Buffalo NY using their BakFlip to the MAX.
BakFlip flips beyond 90 degrees!
It is extremely important to note that all BakFlip covers flip beyond 90 degrees. It's been about 4 years now since BAK Industries adopted and patented this new design of ensuring that the BakFlip folds beyond the 90 degree point and I felt it important enough to let you all know why we did this.
BakFlip folds beyond the 90 degree point
Producing great tonneau covers is sometimes a matter of trial and error. What you think is a great design, sometimes turns out to be less than perfect. This was definitely the case when it came to the original "old G1 version" of the BakFlip tonneau cover. Specifically, one of the biggest issues we found was that folding the panels of the old BakFlip G1 cover to 90 degrees or less was problematic to say the least.
While the old BakFlip was kept at a distance from the cab itself, the design lent itself to problems in the following areas:
1. The panels in the folded up position were not able to withstand impact from a shifting load without potentially damaging the rods that kept them up, as well as the cab itself. relying on a single attachment point to withstand impact from heavy loads was both dangerous and resulted in a excessive amount of warranty claims.
Old G1 style BakFlip with panels at 90 degrees or less
2. Driving with the panels at 90 degrees or less meant that large loads like motorcycles with mudguards, couldn't quite fit properly. In addition, pressure against the panels was put directly on the attachment rods and the rails of the tonneau. This was a bad idea, which ultimately gave rise to our new design, evident in all BakFlip tonneau covers today.
3. Heavy wind gusts resulted in extreme danger in driving with the cover in the upright position. It was extremely important for BAK Industries to produce a cover that was not affected by side winds and shifting loads. In addition, we wanted to produce a cover that not only folded up to provide full access to the bed, but one that actually protected the cab from potential damage.
The result is what you see today in all BakFlip covers. The panels fold completely forward to protect the cab. They are uniquely designed and patented to be impervious to strong wind gusts and the ingenious design puts absolutely zero pressure on the rods that keep the cover in the upright position.
Slamming the cover in the upright position will not affect the rods, the rails or the cover whatsoever. While the old design would likely see damage to the cover, the rails or the cab of the truck itself with a heavy slam to the panels, the new BakFlip remains free from potential damage.
BakFlip's pressure free prop rod
What you get when you buy a BakFlip is not simply a tonneau cover that gives you full access to the truck bed. you get a product that's been tried and tested in real life environments for over 8 years. There's a reason for all the design elements that are evident in all BakFlip covers.
It's extremely noteworthy to understand the importance for the panels to fold completely beyond the 90 degree point. Any compromise on this feature will result in a less than perfect tonneau cover.
In addition to the superior design of the BakFlip cover, specially integrated rubber pads on the back of the BakFlip panels protect the cab of the truck from any damage. There are competitors that will try to say that our covers will cause vibration rub or squeak, but the only thing that squeaks is them. Trust me when I tell you, that were it not for our fine patents, they'd be making covers just like ours.
OEM companies like Ford Motor Company have embraced the BAKFLIP design as the best on the market, because it protects the cab and eliminates potential damage and liability to the tonneau cover and the truck.That's why they use Bakflip covers and not any others as their factory choice to cover their trucks.

RazorBak Tonneau Covers
The RazorBak tonneau cover, BAK Industries latest and greatest foot forward in the tonneau cover arena was launched to a staggering reception at the 2011 SEMA show in Las Vegas. As much as we believe the RazorBak to be a phenomenal new tonneau cover, we were both blindsided and quite honestly humbled by the overwhelming response. It left all of us at BAK Industries with the firm belief that the RazorBak will quite possibly be the biggest thing to hit the tonneau cover market in the last decade.
RazorBak hard rollup tonneau cover
For those that are not yet aware, the RazorBak takes the popular soft rollup and the age old retractable tonneau cover and morphs the two into a tonneau cover that pretty much does it all. Unlike soft rollups, the RazorBak is secure, strong, heavy duty, lockable and super low profile. No flopping around on this baby! Unlike the retractable, the RazorBak has no canister, a price that's far easier on the pocket book, no complicated install and a performance level that'll leave you marveling at its simple brilliance. The RazorBak literally rolls up to allow you full, unobstructed use of your entire truck bed, without blocking visibility, without any lifting and without any real effort at all. It rolls closed just as easily and locks securely. It's aluminum construction and vinyl coating ensures all season reliability and will outperform any other tonneau when it comes to keeping out the elements. Believe it or not, the RazorBak actually folds as well as rolls, making it a perfect tonneau for 5th wheel haulers, covering incremental portions of the bed, or simply preventing loads from shifting in the bed. From a design standpoint the RazorBak is a flush mount piece of art, sitting absolutely level with the inside edge of your truck bed. It's stealth, more aerodynamic and more aesthetically pleasing than other tonneaus as well. It allows full access to stake pockets and works with bed liners, bed rails caps, tailgate caps, bed extenders, tie downs and racks. This is one cover that literally does it all. It's the best of all worlds and will install with no drilling in less than 10 minutes. Look for the RazorBak in stores and online some time in December 2011.
