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!
