I have also been looking at this too. I have contacted a Bak Industries Rep here in Canada and he said the new BakFlip VP and the Roll X Tonneau cover will be available around the 2nd week of May.

The BakFlip VP looks very cool and slick. Things I really like about it is the no drain tube(tight fit) and not being able to see the slits on top of the cover. A new type of skin holds it all together.

The New Roll X cover according the rep is the next big thing according to the rep. I dunno about how strong and the fact when it all rolled up looks like a bundle of tinfoil... Is a huge advancement in Tonneau covers though. Im sure they will sell well, Price will be high I'm sure.

But nevertheless both great covers, But Im defiantly interested in more information regarding the BakFlip VP.

We are excited for the release of these covers as well. The VP is more of a traditional BakFlip with the main difference being a vinyl "DuraBak" lining covering the top of the cover along with the hinges. Since there is vinyl over the top, the panels aren't framed in aluminum (which saves weight) and it gets rid of the need for water drainage tubes.

We did a quick BakFlip VP vs BakFlip F1 comparison here which shows the starting price point is more affordable than previous BakFlips.

The Roll-X is a different story. We also did an overview on this one with some video. The BakFlip Roll-X price is still very affordable compared other BakFlips but we don't have a set date on its release yet.

Hmm... I was going to get the F1 but this is pretty neat. I really like the hingless appearance and no drainage tubes. The ~$300 lower price is nice as well.

Do you know if the VP can still have the bakbox since it doesnt have the rail system?
