BAKFlip G2 Hard Folding Tonneau Cover
The BAKFlip G2 bed cover delivers professional-grade protection with a sleek, low-profile design that sits completely flush with your truck bed rails. Our G2 features aircraft-grade aluminum panels with a matte black powder coat finish that resists scratches, UV rays, and harsh weather conditions.
Designed for truck owners who demand both security and versatility, the G2 folds completely open for full bed access or locks in multiple positions for partial hauling needs. Dual automatic latches secure your cargo while maintaining the streamlined appearance that keeps your truck looking factory-fresh.
- Aircraft-grade aluminum panels with heavy-duty FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer) construction
- Matte black powder coat finish resists UV damage, scratches, and corrosion
- Sits flush with bed rails for low-profile aerodynamic design
- Dual automatic latches provide secure locking at tailgate
- Folds completely open for full bed access or locks in multiple positions
Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Construction
We engineered the BAKFlip G2 using the same aerospace-grade aluminum found in commercial aircraft components. Each panel features a reinforced FRP substrate that delivers exceptional strength without adding unnecessary weight to your truck.
The proprietary powder coat finish goes through a multi-stage treatment process that bonds permanently to the aluminum surface. This creates a protective barrier against oxidation, road salt, and UV exposure that would degrade lesser materials. Unlike vinyl or soft covers that sag and fade, our aluminum panels maintain their structural integrity and appearance for years.
Dual Latch Security System
Automatic Locking Mechanism
Our exclusive dual automatic latch system provides security without complicated manual locks. When you close the tailgate, both latches engage simultaneously and lock the cover panels in place. The system prevents forced entry while maintaining quick access when you need it.
The latch housing integrates directly into the rear panel assembly, creating a clean installation with no exposed hardware. Stainless steel components resist corrosion in wet climates and heavy-use commercial applications.
Installation & Truck Compatibility
We designed the BAKFlip G2 for straightforward installation using common hand tools. Most truck owners complete the process in 45 minutes to one hour without drilling holes in their bed rails or paint.
The clamp-on rail system adjusts to fit most factory bed configurations and many aftermarket bed liner systems. Our engineering team tests each application-specific kit to ensure proper fit on your exact truck make, model, and bed length. The complete installation guide walks through bed preparation, rail alignment, and final adjustments for optimal seal compression.

What people are saying
Common questions about the BAKFlip G2
Yes, the G2 installs over most spray-in and drop-in bed liners. Our clamp system adjusts to accommodate the additional thickness of liner materials without compromising the seal or structural integrity.
For best results, we recommend spray-in liners as they provide the most consistent rail surface. Drop-in liners work as well, though you may need to adjust clamp positioning to account for the liner’s raised edges. The installation guide includes specific measurements for different liner configurations.
The BAKFlip G2 supports up to 300 pounds of evenly distributed static weight when panels are in the closed position. This rating covers snow accumulation and light cargo like camping gear or sports equipment.
We don’t recommend the G2 for heavy dynamic loads or as a walking surface. For applications requiring rack systems or heavier load capacity, consider our BAKFlip FiberMax or Revolver X4S models which include reinforced crossbar mounting points.
Yes, you can operate individual panels with cargo present as long as items don’t interfere with the folding path. Each panel hinges independently, so you can access specific bed sections without disturbing cargo in other areas.
When hauling taller loads, the G2 folds completely against the cab to provide maximum clearance. The compact folded stack only occupies 12 inches of bed length, leaving the majority of your bed available for oversized items.
Routine maintenance involves hosing off dirt and debris every few weeks and inspecting drain tubes for blockages. We recommend applying a silicone-based lubricant to hinge points twice per year in high-use applications.
The powder coat finish requires no special treatment beyond normal truck washing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or stiff brushes that could scratch the surface. The EPDM seals typically last 3-5 years before requiring replacement depending on climate and exposure.
Independent testing shows the G2’s aerodynamic profile can improve highway fuel economy by 1-2 MPG compared to driving with an open bed. The low-profile design reduces drag and turbulence that wastes fuel at speeds above 45 MPH.
Actual fuel savings vary based on driving habits, truck configuration, and typical highway speeds. Most G2 owners report noticeable reduction in wind noise at highway speeds, which correlates with improved aerodynamic efficiency.
Yes, the G2 maintains clearance for most fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitch installations. When panels are folded against the cab, you have full access to hitch mounting points and kingpin areas.
For trucks with permanently mounted fifth-wheel rails, verify that your specific hitch model sits low enough to allow panel closure. Our customer service team can confirm compatibility with your exact hitch brand and model before you order.
Your G2 shipment includes the complete cover assembly with pre-installed panels, side rail clamps with all mounting hardware, drain tubes, installation instructions, and a limited warranty card. All components are application-specific for your truck’s make, model, and bed length.
No additional tools beyond basic hand tools are required for installation. We include extra clamp hardware and spare drain tube sections to accommodate different bed configurations and liner setups.
