There was an earlier thread but, it got very heated. Hopefully this one will stay on point and discuss the details of the differences and not get into name calling.

Indeed, hopefully no name calling. Different strokes for different folks I would imagine.

Thanks for all the info guys (And gals), it has answered some of my questions. Seems like $700 is the price point. Not that I'm trying to just simply go cheap, just curious as to what the ups and downs of each one is.
If the Bakflip offers more, I don't mind paying for more.

So, to correct my first post, there are rubber stoppers that go in between to cab and the cover to prevent damage. I can agree that might help with wind and speed. You can remove the panels as well. Not sure where I got the idea that the Flex was the only one that could.

...............................Bakflip F1................................ Flex
Price ........................$800ish ...............................$700ish
Full up ............Against Cab W/rubber ..............Locked up with props
Warranty ...................2 year ..................................3 year
Material ...............FRP Composite ......................FRP Composite
Full Removal ................Yes............................... ...... Yes


A few of the main features of both above. Above doesn't speak anything for the ease of mind ordering from a company that's been around for a while (Bakflip). The Bakflip has good reviews, even from those that have had them for a while. Not 100% sure about the Flex as it hasn't been out that long, but initial reviews of quality seem pretty good from what I can find.

Lifetime warranty on the diamond back line-x cover with a 1600 lbs payload...jut saying she is sweet. Comes on and off in under 10 minutes

I have the BAK and so far it has worked flawlessly! The only water that gets in is at the tailgate, but it is absolutely minimal.

While the BAK does rest against the cab, the rubber bumpers actually rest against the rubber gasket for the rear window. No big deal there!

I just installed my g2 the other day, washed the truck & not a drop in the bed. I can't say how much I paid for it but it was way less than either price you quoted. So far I'm happy w/it.

How did you get it for that price? did you have to call?
List for $989 minus 10%= $890
