Installing the RealTruck BAK X4ts (and my plans for using the T-slots) #bakindustries #realtruck

Would like to see the kayak rack for sure ! Can't wait to see that cause I was thinking about doing this too! Well, for my REBEL of course ; - )

Been looking for a real person using this and not just marketing guys. Thanks

Can I get more info on the chase lights and how they are mounted? Or can you send me the link to the video? Thank you I subscribed to the channel over this video

Sweet setup, thinking about going the same route for my Raptor.

Great video! I have the X4ts cover on order for my 2024 Canyon AT4. I already have the Elevate rack here ready for it and am going to have my kayak on one side and a locking cargo box on the other side. Should be a great setup.

Thanks for a real review from someone who actually put it on there truck!

Nice set up.. I have a 21 f150, and before that a 2017 RAM 1500, both with the x4s and Adarac rails .. the t-slot wasn't available at the time, and Adarac was one of the only compatible options. Good to see BAK finally caught up with demand!

What height would your bed rack need to be so that you can still roll up the cover in its entirety?

Curious what rack you went with. I have this on my 22 Tundra and was hoping my Yakima Overhaul would work but it does not. Only adjustable rack I found so far is Elevate.

Why isn't anyone being honest with the quality of this cover? The title should be, Superglue Not Included. If you had an older BAKFlip from 10-yrs ago, you will be very disappointed with the amount of plastic. The locking mechanism used to be housed in aluminum - now it's thin, brittle plastic. The end caps are as well - they fall off way too easily. Upon receipt, all plastic parts were cracked and/or had fallen off. Even worse, of the four screw holes for the locking mechanism, only two were used per side - so the entire locking mechanism falls out when you try to use the cable. This would be fine if sold for $100 - that's about all it's worth. This isn't a cover for the working truck - it's there to get into place, be left alone and look good (assuming the endcaps don't fall off as you drive).

Can you put the product link please

I was looking at a Diamondback Switchback, but now I’m sold. Great video.

Just wanted to say this is a fantastic video and I've never done it before but I used your affiliate link and bought myself one keep up on these kick ass videos

Nice review and will be interesting to see how can use the t-slot on the new model. I have been using mine since 2018 on my F150 and am always operating the cover for small loads. The weak point is the end plastic caps that can pop loose (thanks to BAK for replacements).

Tip for protection application. Roll the cover back so you can treat it in sections while standing inside the bed. Lightly mist that section and wear a nitrile glove one hand, use that gloved hand to spread the product out as evenly as possible. You can just let it air dry or use MF towel to mop up any excess. FYI, 303 Protectant (blue bottle) or 303 Aerospace Protectant (white bottle) are same . We use this application method to treat convertible tops.

What size are the tracks?

Do you know if the t-slot is the only difference between the X4TS and the X4S?

What’s the measurement from the wall to the end of the tonneau when rolled up?

how is your BAK X4ts holding up after few month? any problems with tonneau cover?

Thanks! I was debating between this one and the regular X4s. Now that I know it can work with other accessories, I'm going with this one. Even if I never end up adding accessories, at least I have the option to do so if I decide to later one.

I just installed the bak x4s on my 24 raptor and have an issue with the tailgate hiting the end of the cover when closing. Is there adjustment for that?

Not good State with hot Summer. The cover material gonna shrink and pull off both sides of the rails and at the back of bed cover 2 1/2 years later. The aluminum gets so hot, no glue can’t bond for long.

Thank you for this video. I will be going this route. Where can I find t-slot inserts to install some chase lights? I would like to mount a couple BD S2s or DD SS2s. Thanks in advance!

Do you experience water coming from the talegate?😊

Just ordred X4ts after watching your video. thank you. If you have some suggestion on chase light bracket that will fit in the T-slot. thanks

Best install video on you tube

Just installed mine. It has a little dip all the way across near the cab. Did you experience this?

Hey great video, because of it i also purchased the same cover and in the process of choosing a rack system. I like the truxedo elevate but i rather not have one that is so high at all times (18” in the lowest position). I was looking for one that in its lowest position it’s able to accommodate the height of the cover in its rolled up position. Which is about 12” or so. If you know of one please let me know. Thanks!

Brother you didn’t show where or how to install the hardware

Very good vid, thanks. And a beaut of a cover. The one thing that isn't clear, is how well this seals water out of the bed at the back end when the tailgate is closed, from the back corners across the center, and how that is accomplished. How well does this keep water out in various types of weather and power washing and such? Thanks.

Seams like u lose a fair amount of width on the box with rails

Well done video review. I recently had an X4S installed on my Ram 2500. The X4S does not have a generous waterfall front weather seal, the ends of the side rails are unfinished, basically cut metal. The side rail ends leave a sizable opening for water, insects, etc. to migrate into the bed. In addition to the tie-down options, yours is a much better and functional looking product.

instead of a ladder rack to add. is there tiedown loops you can add to the slots ?

Great Video! Thank you 🔥👏💪🫶

Great video! Only thing I’m not sure about is the roll of ribbed stripping. It’s not mentioned in my Instructions or in any videos I’ve watched. I assumed at first it was to help seal the edges, but not seeing it in the videos. Where did you install?

If the rails are only attached by clamps, are they strong enough to hold up a rack or two?

Awesome video! One question that no one seems to clarify is for the bulkhead weather seal. Did you run the seal under the cover rails or stop it flush?

How does that rubber seal laying flat all along both sides hold its seal in the snowy cold of winter? Rubber softens in warmth but hardens in cold, at least rubber I am familiar with.

What brand and type of chase lights were you adding here? I couldn’t find them in the notes.

Waiting for mine to get delivered for my 25’ Silverado. Figured I’d watch a video to prep for install. Great vid!

Mine just came in yesterday. Can’t wait to throw it on. Great vid. Thanks bud!

Could you share the distance between the T slot rails? Bak Tech support won’t share this info

How do you think that vinyl top will hold up to the Arizona sun. I is brutal heat and usually over 110* all day. Most black things heat up to 140* +. I like this cover but I am worried it will get destroyed by the sun.

This is one of the three covers that I have been seriously considering for my '25 Silverado 2500 HD. I thought that I had decided on the MX4 until I saw that great front seal! I better hurry and order a revolver before I change my mind for the 15th time. My wife is getting tired of hearing me talk about tonneau covers!

How do you like the Bak X4TS? I'm thinking about going to that cover. How does it do with holding water out? My Retrax pro XR leaks so bad. I hate the sliding covers with the canisters. Love the rails but can't stand the cover. Thank you!!!

How sturdy are those t slots in those side rails? Can that support a larger rack like an Xtrusion rack?

Do you believe that the Yakima overhaul hd would fit with the slots adapter?

How about a Tent that is held down with the t-slots?

I see you recently switched from the X4ts to the Retrax ONE XR, was there something wrong or that you didn't like about the X4ts?
