BAKFlip MX4 for Toyota Tacoma | Premium Hard Folding Tonneau Cover
The BAKFlip MX4 for Toyota Tacoma is our premium hard folding tonneau cover engineered specifically for Tacoma truck beds. Built with lightweight aluminum panels and a durable matte black finish, the MX4 combines superior bed protection with unmatched versatility.
This cover folds completely open for full bed access, features a 150-degree folding arc that allows the panels to rest against your cab, and supports up to 400 pounds when closed. Whether you’re hauling gear for work or adventure, the MX4 keeps your cargo secure while maintaining your Tacoma’s sleek profile.
Our exclusive drain tube system channels water away from your bed, and the integrated aluminum slats provide structural rigidity without adding unnecessary weight. Installation takes about 30 minutes with no drilling required, using our proprietary clamp system that fits directly to your Tacoma’s bed rails.
Key specifications for the MX4
Aluminum Panel Construction & Finish
The BAKFlip MX4 features aircraft-grade aluminum panels with a premium matte black powder coat finish that resists scratching, UV fading, and corrosion. Each panel is precision-engineered to fit your Tacoma’s bed dimensions exactly, creating a seamless appearance that looks factory-installed.
Our aluminum construction delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The entire cover weighs approximately 65-75 pounds depending on your Tacoma’s bed length, yet supports up to 400 pounds of evenly distributed weight when closed. This means you can safely walk on the cover during installation or when loading roof racks.
150-Degree Folding System & Bed Access
Full Bed Access in Seconds
The MX4’s signature 150-degree folding capability means you can fold all four panels back against your Tacoma’s cab, giving you complete access to your entire bed without removing the cover. This folding arc is precisely engineered to rest the panels securely against the cab without damaging your truck’s finish.
Each panel folds independently, so you can open just one section for smaller items or fold all four for oversized cargo like lumber, kayaks, or motorcycles. The dual-action hinges feature our FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) system that’s stronger and more durable than traditional plastic hinges.
Tacoma Fitment & Installation
We manufacture the BAKFlip MX4 with model-specific dimensions for 2005-2024 Toyota Tacoma trucks in both 5-foot and 6-foot bed configurations. Our no-drill clamp system attaches directly to your factory bed rails using stainless steel hardware that won’t rust or corrode.
Installation typically takes 30-45 minutes with basic hand tools. The cover arrives pre-assembled in sections—you’ll attach the side rails to your bed, position the cover panels, and adjust the tension to achieve a perfect seal. Our detailed instructions include photos for every Tacoma generation.

The aluminum panel construction and reinforced hinge system provide this weight capacity without adding excessive bulk. Do not exceed 400 pounds or concentrate weight in a single spot, as this may damage the panels or hinges.

For drop-in bed liners, the MX4 is compatible with most styles that don’t have raised stake pocket rails. If your drop-in liner has over-the-rail caps or modifications to the bed rail area, please contact us to verify fitment before ordering.

We recommend ensuring your cab and rear window are clean before folding the cover back to prevent any dirt or debris from causing scratches. Thousands of Tacoma owners use the full 150-degree fold regularly without any issues. The panels are designed to distribute their weight evenly and avoid pressure points on your truck’s finish.
Absolutely. One of the MX4’s best features is its sectional design—you can open just one, two, or three panels depending on what you need to access. Each panel operates independently with smooth-action hinges.
For quick access to items near your tailgate, fold back just the rear panel. For longer cargo, fold two or three panels. When you need complete bed access, fold all four panels back to the full 150-degree position against your cab. This flexibility makes the MX4 ideal for daily use and varying cargo needs.
