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!

2012 Toyota Tacoma Tonneau Covers
BAK Industries has been working alongside Toyota to develop a new series of tonneau covers for the Tacoma as well as the Tundra. During our study of the matter we have come to learn that although new body styles of the Tacoma are scheduled for 2012, the size and style of the truck bed are not slated for change until 2014. This should come as pretty good news for tonneau cover manufacturers who usually don't like having to tool up for new model releases every other year.
The BakFlip tonneau cover is the best selling tonneau cover for the Toyota Tacoma and has proven to catch the eye of Toyota themselves, who reached out to us after seeing the new BakFlip on the Ford booth at the Toronto Auto Show in Canada this year. The BakFlip is available in 4 models for the Toyota Tacoma and is widely available across the USA and Canada.
The BakFlip tonneau cover installs on the 2012 Toyota Tacoma in the same way as it did for prior years of the Tacoma built since 2005. The tonneau cover attaches with a unique set of rails that integrates with the cargo management track system built into the side walls of the Toyota Tacoma.
new for 2012 BakFlip tonneau covers that fit Tacoma's are specially designed tie downs that are designed to replace the bulky Tacoma tie downs. These are optional with the BakFlip, but well worth the cost.

BakFlip – The perfect tonneau cover for recreation!
Recently a friend of mine took his boat out for a day of fun in California. He was so impressed with his BakFlip cover and how it improved his overall experience, from towing his boat, to handling and accessing his gear, to performing as a bench to securing his stuff while on the water. He documented it for us and shared his experience and I thought I would add it to this blog. Pictures speak volumes and as such, I thought I'd share some of the great images he sent to us. Let me know your thoughts? Pay attention to how versatile the BakFlip is and how cool the new fold-a-way BakBox works as well. I'd be very interested in hearing from all of you out there.

Ford tonneau covers
2009 and 2010 has seen Ford Motor Company slip right into what can only be called a true leadership role when it comes to both the products it is putting out as well as the accessories it has chosen to offer Ford truck owners. I was struck by their innovation on my last trip to Detroit where I met with the heads of their accessory department and discussed intimately all the cool things that they currently offer with their current array of accessory vendors. It would seem that they have finally reached a point where they recognize that they either offer significant value to their consumers, or they will simply lose out to the aftermarket as they have always done in the past.
One product that Ford seems to have embraced that has done exceedingly well is their new folding tonneau cover. The new Ford OEM folding tonneau cover is an all aluminum folding tonneau cover made for them by BAK Industries. It is very similar to the BakFlip tonneau cover, but includes some bells and whistles exclusive to the OEM version. The new Ford folding tonneau cover folds up all the way and sits snugly and flush in between the rails for ultimate style. The locking mechanism is securely located under the panels of the tonneau cover, which is a true quad fold tonneau cover that is there when you need it and gone when you don't. The key you drive your F150 or F250 truck with is the same key you use to secure and lock your tonneau cover, which is a brilliant idea too!
Where aftermarket tonneau covers provide only partial access to your truck bed, the Ford hard folding tonneau cover gives you complete freedom to use your truck like truck and still lock up your valuables when you need to use your truck bed as a trunk. It's this sort of vision that will most certainly allow Ford to continue to dominate the pickup world as it currently doing.
As the owner of BAK Industries, I can tell you that I couldn't be prouder to be working with a company like Ford on their tonneau cover program. Their trucks are built so well nowadays and so much thought and creativity is integrated into them, that the BAK folding tonneau was a perfect fit. The new folding tonneau cover works perfectly with their tailgate step, tie downs, bed extender, bed rails, bedliners and other OEM Ford truck bed products.
