2022 Tonneau covers

You're correct, only the first two panels fold up. The last panel cannot be. That said, it would be a few minute effort to remove the panels completely if needed. Over the years I've owned five trucks and I've not needed full bed utilization all that much. I tow trailers way more than I move loads in the bed. That's just me though, so someone elses milage may vary. This cover will work great for my needs.

 

So I decided to go with the Undercover Ultraflex. One down-side to this cover vs. the MX4 is that the Ultraflex rails cover up the Toyota rails to some degree and thus you can't get the standard Toyota plastic cleats on the rail. I did mount some of the D-ring tie downs that I used on the bed mounts. I have a posting in the Accessories thread that shows these in the bed mount bolts. I mounted these using the T-nuts that I also bought on Amazon. When I was looking at the different covers I wasn't able to find much in terms of details on the brackets so I'll post some close-ups of the brackets and some of the other install details. Let me know if you need any other info.

Toyota Rail Bracket Close-up:


T-nuts and D-rings:


Angle of Ratchet Strap: (You can go up about 45 degrees before you hit the Undercover rail. ~26 to 27" at the wheel well).


Hole for Drain Tube: (The drain tube is pretty big ~5/8" in OD. I had to drill out the two corner holes to about 3/4" to make it fit.)


Rails with D-rings:

Overall it went pretty well. The cover does seem to be very heavy duty. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Looking for the deck rails. Recently obtained a 2023 SR crewmax. And it doesn’t come with the rails to secure the tonneau cover. I only have one side towards the driver side of the bed. Anyone on here selling a set or know where I glcan find one. Stupidest configuration with these SRs

 

Look through this thread, if nothing there, contact the individual who posted it and I'm sure it can be found.

Thanks. I have visited that thread a few times already. No luck. Probably cause trucks already have it installed from factory

 

Calling @ryanwgregg , could you assist with part number on cargo rails? Thank you sir.

 

5’5.

 

Awesome! Thank you. I can always cut them down.

 

is there any difference in these rails from the 2021 model of tundra? If I’m going to be cutting them, and it’s the same diameter I don’t see why it’s not doable with the ones from 2021 model year. They are way cheaper

 

I know the rails on my 2023 appear to be identical to the ones from my 2013, but I can't say for certain.

 

Good to hear. I’ll compare my one rail that they included for the front of the bed, with my buddies 2018 rails and if they are the same I’m buying the previous gen model

 

My Bakflip MX4 leaks on the regular. I thought it was just the tailgate but today I saw it dripping from the middle of the cover. I don't think it's coming straight through. Probably from the sides.
Has anyone with the MX4 had luck sealing this cover?

 

I just put mine on on Saturday and haven't had rain yet. I'll let you know lol. Looking at the tailgate area, I can't see how water would not be able to get in as there are gaps. I had an extang solid fold on my 2013, it did good but some water always got in. I am tempted to drill an extra two holes at the back. Two for the drain tubes and two for water that makes it in.

 

@Maharisc I believe you have the Truxedo Sentry CT tonneau cover, correct? If so would you be willing to provide the minimum bed height with the tonneau closed? Want to make sure I have enough height for some of my gear. Thank you

 

took 6 days to ship from my order date. From there about 5 days to delivery, everything intact installed yesterday pretty happy with it besides the price but they were cheapest of all companies. Real truck with their price match policy wouldn't touch their price

 

Those suck in Canada where it freezes. My Extang was frozen to the box all the time....hated it

 

Are you looking to get a visual, roughly how much space the canister takes up? I have the Retrax cover with shortbed Limited.

 

Here is a pic with cover on and a rubber mat in. Hope this helps. I don't have this truck as of Jan 25, traded for current 23 with OEM. Waiting to see what comes of the recall then decide to keep or go back to Truxedo. No issues with cover in extreme cold temps here in Montana.

 

Yes, that does help. Thank you!

 

I feel like maybe bakflip sent me the wrong rails? Does anyone else's MX4 on the newer tundras fit like this? The cap by the tailgate looked right, but the cap by the cab seems off.

 

I ordered a undercover ultra flex from real truck vendor since my oem Toyota one got removed from the build

I much prefer this route anyways

 

Call them, their customer service is phenomenal.

 

I have the X4s on my Gen 3 Raptor and love it. Much better imo than the Tri folds. Had an undercover flex on my tundra and hated that you lose the
use of the rails and that it blocked the rear window when fully open.

 

Update. I contacted BAK and they asked for me to measure the rails. When I went to measure the rails I noticed this. The metal is cutting into the rubber when I have it folded up. They told me that the rails are slightly out of spec and that the panels on my cover are misaligned. They are sending me new rails and a new cover.

 

Are you sending the old one back to them ?

 

They told me to destroy it. That I need to drill holes in it and send them a picture.

 

Im kinda glad I went with undercover at this point.

although its still in the box in the garage until my rig is ready, lol.

 

Sell it to me. I’ll send you pics with holes in it

 

Lol. My coworker already wants it.

 

Darn… let me know if he changes his mind
