BAKFlip CS Tonneau Cover with Integrated Rack System
We engineered the BAKFlip CS to solve a problem every truck owner faces: choosing between bed protection and cargo-carrying capacity. This innovative system gives you both.
Our BAKFlip CS features a hard folding tonneau cover that secures your truck bed, plus an integrated aluminum rack system with 100 lb load capacity. When you need the rack, deploy it in seconds without tools. When you don't, fold it flat against the cover for a sleek, aerodynamic profile.
The aluminum panels are lightweight yet durable, offering excellent weather protection and security. We built this for contractors, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who demands versatility from their truck without compromising on either protection or utility.
Dual-function design specs
Integrated Rack System with 100 lb Capacity
The defining feature of our BAKFlip CS is the built-in rack system that deploys directly from the tonneau cover. We designed this rack to handle up to 100 pounds of evenly distributed cargo across the rails, making it perfect for lumber, ladders, kayaks, or camping gear.
Unlike aftermarket bed racks that require removing your tonneau cover, our system integrates both functions seamlessly. The aluminum rack rails fold up and lock into position when you need them, then collapse flat against the cover when you’re done. This dual-mode design means you never have to choose between bed security and overhead cargo capacity.
Hard Folding Panel Construction and Weather Sealing
We manufacture each BAKFlip CS with premium aluminum panels that fold in sections for complete bed access. The panels are engineered to resist impacts, UV exposure, and extreme weather conditions that would damage softer covers.
Our panel edges feature rubber seals that create a weather-tight barrier when closed. While no tonneau cover is 100% waterproof, our seal system keeps rain, snow, and road spray out of your truck bed during normal driving and weather conditions. The panels lock securely at multiple points to prevent unauthorized access.
Installation and Truck Bed Compatibility
Clamp-On Mounting System
We designed the BAKFlip CS with our proven clamp-on rail system that installs without drilling holes in your truck bed. The rails attach to the inside of your bed rails using adjustable clamps that distribute weight evenly and protect your truck’s finish.
Most installations take 30-45 minutes with basic hand tools. We provide detailed vehicle-specific instructions and all required mounting hardware in every box. The system fits most full-size pickup trucks including Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra, and Nissan Titan models.

Common Questions About the BAKFlip CS Rack System
The integrated rack system supports up to 100 pounds of evenly distributed cargo across the rails. This capacity is designed for common items like ladders, lumber, kayaks, and camping gear.
For safe operation, distribute weight evenly across the full length of both rack rails and secure all cargo with appropriate tie-down straps. The 100 lb limit applies to the rack only — the closed tonneau cover panels support up to 300 lbs of evenly distributed weight when you're not using the rack function.
Absolutely. The rack system folds completely flat against the tonneau cover when not in use. In this configuration, the BAKFlip CS functions exactly like our standard hard folding covers, providing complete bed security and weather protection.
The folded rack adds minimal height to the cover profile, maintaining good aerodynamics and a clean appearance. You can switch between cover-only mode and rack mode in seconds without any tools.
No drilling is required for most truck applications. We designed the BAKFlip CS with our clamp-on mounting system that attaches to the inside of your bed rails using adjustable clamps.
This installation method protects your truck's finish and factory warranty while providing a secure, stable mount for both the cover and rack system. The clamps distribute weight evenly and can be removed if you ever need to take the system off your truck.
We manufacture the BAKFlip CS for the most common full-size truck bed lengths: 5.5-foot, 6.5-foot, and 8-foot configurations. The system fits Ford F-Series, Chevy/GMC Silverado/Sierra, Ram 1500/2500/3500, Toyota Tundra, and Nissan Titan models.
To determine the correct size, measure your truck bed from the inside of the bulkhead to the inside of the tailgate. Use our online fit guide to verify compatibility with your specific truck year, make, model, and bed length before ordering.
The aluminum panels feature rubber seal technology that creates a weather-tight barrier when closed. Our seal system keeps rain, snow, and road spray out during normal driving and weather conditions.
While no tonneau cover is completely waterproof, the BAKFlip CS provides excellent weather resistance for protecting cargo, tools, and equipment in your truck bed. The aluminum construction also resists UV damage and won't crack or fade like vinyl covers.
Yes. The BAKFlip CS panels fold independently and can be positioned completely forward against the cab when you need full bed access for loading large items or hauling tall cargo.
You can also fold just one or two sections for partial access while keeping the rest of your bed covered and secure. The rack system folds with the cover, so you maintain full bed functionality regardless of cover position.
The integrated rack rails accept most standard cargo accessories including kayak saddles, bike mounts, cargo baskets, and tie-down anchors. We recommend using foam blocks or purpose-built rack mounts for specialty cargo.
We also offer a wind fairing accessory that reduces noise when carrying cargo on the deployed rack. Our rack system uses standard mounting points compatible with most aftermarket truck rack accessories designed for similar rail configurations.
