One of the most popular accessories for pickup trucks is a good set of bed rails. bed rails are a great accessory that lend style to a pickup truck as well as function in the form of tie downs convenience. Companies like Putco lead the way in bed rail production and bed rails have even been incorporated at an OEM level on trucks like the Lincoln Mark LT.
bakflip tonneau covers work with bed rails
Even more popular than bed rails are tonneau covers. So logic would point towards tonneau covers being made to work with bed rails. But wouldn’t you know it, this isn’t really the case. The fact is that in order for a tonneau cover to work seamlessly with a set of bed rails, the tonneau cover needs to fit between the rails of the truck bed, so as not to interfere with the bed rails that are in most instances, installed in the stake pocket holes of the trucks rails.
BakFlip works with racks and rails
That’s why BAK Industries tonneau covers are a better choice when it comes to adding a tonneau cover that works with bed rails. Whether you settle for a folding tonneau cover, a tilting tonneau cover or a retractable tonneau cover, any model made by BAK Industries will allow you to use bed rails. This is just one more fact in a very long list that make BAK Tonneau covers superior to all others out there. The reality is that the lions share of tonneaus made to fit American and import pickup trucks only take into account the size of the bed. Designing a tonneau cover to work with bed rails, bed caps, tie downs, bed extenders, truck racks, toolboxes and bedliners is not at the forefront of most tonneau cover manufacturers lists. However, BAK Industries is a company dedicated and passionate about creating, designing and manufacturing real solutions and smarter products. A BAK tonneau stands in a class of its own when it comes to style, design, function, security and reliability and the fact that they all work with bed rails is simply one more reason to feel confident with your decision to own one.

I purchased a bakflip cover for my 2010 Dodge 2500 Diesel 4×4. I have a problem that may you can rectify. Traveled over 6k miles last month and things in the back of my truck got pretty dirty because the first hinge poing has no clips to hold it down and it was being sucked up during the high winds I was running thru. This allowed a lot of blowing dirt to get inside the bed of my truck. I need to get a clip rair to put on the first hinge joint. How do U suggest I purchase this item? Othewr than that UR cover work GREAT. 702-767-0894. Help. I purchased my cover from Autoanything.com.
You can get an additional latch assembly directly from BAK Industries. Just call us at (818) 365-9000 and speak to Jesse or Oscar. Just tell them what kind of truck you have and they’ll handle the rest. Enjoy the cover. It’s definitely a great tonneau!
Pickup bed covers are the hottest option. These covers varies from one to another. Truck owners consider bed covers as an additional option. There are some covers that are weatherproof. In my opinion Tonneau covers are best option and they look great on trucks. An important consideration when you are choosing the right bed cover is Cargo. Most covers will work for the cargo that is short and fits below bedside rails. I also like the tri-fold type that folds all the way. This gives a full use of the bed. I used A.R.E. fiberglass one piece for one of my truck. It’s bulky to remove but not crazy heavy for two people and it takes only 5-10 minutes remove/re-install.

Just curious who makes that rail / rack system in the last photo, i’m looking for a solution to carry my bike and don’t necessarily need rails that are particularly tall, plus my ram outdoorsman is already pushing the height clearance of my underground parkade. Looks like it will mate well with my Bak Flip F1, which by the way is absolutely amazing – been getting great compliments on it.
Hi Chris,
The Racks are made by a company called Pro-Rac in the USA. They will also work with Thule accessories.
Best,
Julian
