The BAKFlip MX4 EZ-Lift Hard Folding Tonneau Cover takes America's best-selling truck bed cover and makes it dramatically easier to use. It builds on everything truck owners already love about the MX4, the premium multi-layer aluminum construction, low-profile matte-black looks, security, and weather protection, and adds an EZ-Lift system that does more of the heavy lifting for you. You can fold the cover open with one hand using just one-third the effort of heavier covers: about 10.5 lbs of lift force versus nearly 30 lbs. It's the same MX4 toughness, now with smoother, one-handed operation for everyone.

It's ideal for any truck owner who wants a premium hard-folding cover that combines security, weather resistance, and everyday convenience, and who'll appreciate how much easier the EZ-Lift makes opening and closing the bed. Beyond the lift system, the MX4 EZ-Lift delivers premium-grade, multi-layer aluminum construction over a high-density core for a stronger, more durable surface, a 400 lb evenly-distributed load capacity, edge-to-edge weather sealing, and full bed access by folding to the cab, no removal needed for large cargo. It even keeps the MX4's distinction as the industry's only hard-fold cover that doesn't block your third brake light in any position. Assembled in the USA, no-drill in 30 minutes, and backed by a 5-year warranty, it's a do-it-all upgrade.

Key Features

• EZ-Lift, one-handed and one-third the effort – The EZ-Lift system reduces lift force to just 10.5 lbs (versus nearly 30 lbs for heavier covers), so you can fold it up with one hand, and the extra-large paddle handle auto-unlatches as you lift, with no extra step required.
• Upgraded auto-latch security, fewer steps – A first-of-its-kind paddle handle creates a tighter latch, the patented auto-latch system locks the moment the cover closes, and self-unlatching middle panels eliminate manual cable pulls entirely, the most secure MX4 ever.
• Premium multi-layer aluminum, 400 lb capacity – Premium-grade, multi-layer aluminum construction over a high-density core delivers a stronger, more durable surface (no single-layer flex), supporting up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight, in a textured matte black finish across all surfaces.
• Sealed edge-to-edge, full bed access – Advanced seals and precision-fit clamps block the elements and keep cargo dry, and the cover folds to the cab for full bed access (no removal needed), as the industry's only hard-fold that doesn't block your third brake light.

Features & Benefits

The headline upgrade is the EZ-Lift system, and it's a genuine everyday improvement. Where heavier hard-folding covers can take nearly 30 lbs of lifting force to fold open, the MX4 EZ-Lift does more of the heavy lifting for you, reducing that to just about 10.5 lbs, so you can fold it up smoothly with one hand, using one-third the effort. The extra-large paddle handle (with high-visibility locators) is easy to find, grab, and operate one-handed, and EZ-Lift automatically unlatches as you lift, so there's no separate unlatching step. It makes the best-selling MX4 easier to use for everyone.

Security is upgraded and simplified at the same time. The first-of-its-kind paddle handle creates a tighter latch, the patented auto-latch system locks the moment the cover closes, and self-unlatching middle panels eliminate manual cable pulls entirely. That combination makes this the most secure MX4 ever, with fewer steps than before, no more reaching for cables or double-checking latches. It's security and convenience working together rather than against each other.

Underneath the new features, this is still a premium MX4. It's built from premium-grade, multi-layer aluminum over a high-density core, delivering a stronger, more durable surface tested for years of reliable performance, don't settle for single-layer construction that bends under pressure. A sleek textured matte black finish across all surfaces keeps the profile clean whether the cover is open or closed, and it supports up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight. Advanced edge-to-edge seals and precision-fit clamps create a tight barrier that blocks the elements and keeps your cargo dry in any conditions. When you need full bed access, you simply fold the cover to the cab, secure it, and drive, no removal needed for large cargo, and it remains the industry's only hard-fold cover that doesn't block your third brake light in any position. It's assembled in the USA, and fitment is vehicle-specific, so ordering the correct cover for your truck and bed length is essential.

Care & Maintenance
The MX4 EZ-Lift is low-maintenance thanks to its aluminum construction:

• Cleaning: Wash with mild automotive soap and water and a soft cloth; rinse off dirt and debris as part of your normal truck wash. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh solvents that could dull the matte finish.
• Protect the matte finish: Use matte/satin-safe products; avoid glossy waxes or dressings that can leave uneven shiny spots on the textured black surface.
• Keep the seals and latches clean: Clear dirt and grit from the edge-to-edge seals, hinges, paddle handle, and auto-latch mechanism so the cover seals tightly and the EZ-Lift and latching operate smoothly.
• Before folding: Clear snow, ice, and heavy debris off the cover before folding it to the cab.
• Check the clamps: Periodically confirm the mounting clamps remain secure.
