WILL IT HOLD UP? BAK Revolver X4S Truck Bed Cover Review and Torture Test | 2021 

Thanks for watching, David.

Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!

Good choice!

I ride dirt bikes a LOT even opened a store this year. I have a basic Truxedo Pro15 cover (it was free from sponsorship) but rolling it up in the winter with ice or snow on it is a PAIN. I'd like to know how this one does with snow, plus the one question no one does is a LONG TERM review...in 5-6 years how will the fabric of held up. I can say the X15 is at it's end of it's LIFE. You say roll the cover up before it snows but then you have snow in the bed...LOL That seems like a horrible option I want to keep the snow out. It's why I keep coming back to the UNDERCOVER ARMORFLEX so not to deal with the roll up in winter which I think is very hard on the fabric not to mention hard to roll and I wonder how hard with metal support is it going to be. *sigh* sadly no cover is perfect. I'd get the DiamondBack if I didn't need to load dirt bikes, most solid cover and the price doesn't bother me.

Yea the cab is where the gun is. But of all the guns I know of that have stolen the owner helped by forgetting to lock the doors. Around here there are groups of kids walking the streets every night. If you aren't in law enforcement* you may never have guessed that these kids are walking the same "beat" every night checking door locks. Law of probability. And for the sake of argument if he used the short end of crowbar the cover would have failed instantly. And for that matter it would probably fail a real hail test as those nuts and bolts were falling at no where near their terminal velocity which hail does and even faster depending on the wind direction/speed. *I'm not a cop but for years of hanging around them, being a FF, you learn some weird stuff about your city.

Haha! Appreciate that. This one was fun to make.

@@EarlOwenCompanyCarrollton No. Thank you! You’re welcome. I’m actually thinking of buying this for my F150 so I was doing research and ended up here.

He was using a crowbar. I can break into any truck with a crowbar that includes the cab where you might store some valuables. If anyone buys a tonneau cover for security, they are just fooling themselves. Nothing is secure much of anywhere against a crowbar.

The roll and lock is the only one that locks into the tray door. So you won't be able to even get a lip up

WOW! That's crazy. We'll definitely look at doing that next.

Was it flapping in the wind?

@@michalp2362 yes it was locked down and I had it adjusted and had just put a new rail on one side due to a defect with the first rail.

I had a different brand bedcover fail from a freak downburst (70+mph winds). That storm snapped the aluminum frame like a twig. Unless you’re willing and able to spend three times what the Bak cost (and get one of those folding hard ones that can hold an ATV), none of these semi-soft covers can withstand extreme winds it seems.

We'll see about that one for our next stress test. I bet it would hold strong for the hail test with it having that LINE-X®textured finish.

We'll leave the light on for ya...

@@pondhockey4 😅Thought the same!

Tom, We'll put this on the roster for sure. Thanks for watching.

The Sentry cover shows whitish marks on the top .

Not yet.

You made a great choice in a bed cover. Yeah, thieves will get into anything if they want it. Sad but true. Enjoy your new bed cover. Thanks for watching.

Sorry to hear! The elements can put a real toll on these covers. Glad you got a replacement and hope you enjoy it! :)

Was it the x4s? All I keep hearing is they improved on the design of the older x2 or x4

Same thing happened to my X4S. The Florida sun and moisture shrank the matte material and curled it up the whole length of one side. I’m sure they’ll replace it but I may go back to a regular vinyl soft top that last for years with no issues. This fancy X4S didn’t last 8 months in the Florida heat.

Not yet.

It's all your preference. They both have different unique qualities. The MX4 hard fold is easy & quick to remove if you need the whole truck bed, but your view is obstructed when the cover is folded all the way up. The X4S rolling cover is not as easy to removed, but you can see out the back window when the cover is fully opened.

We have other reviews on our channel of other bed covers, most should work with a rack. It will just come down to finding the one that meets your needs.

This truck has a short bed so bed cover is 5 feet 8 inches, or 5'8". The size bed cover you get all depends on the size of your truck bed. For Silverado they have short beds, standard beds, and long beds.

It's all preference. One is a folding cover and one is a rolling cover. They both have different qualities that make them unique.

Looks like a Bed Rug

Thanks for sharing. We agree 100%!

Definitely not on the road or highway because there is nowhere to secure the load.

Gotta work with what you have!

Hi CJ, We've had our Revolver X4S installed on our truck for over 2 months now with no issue. If your X4S has fallen apart in that short amount of time be sure to take advantage of BAK's 5 year warranty!

The X4S is an updated version of their older one that's supposed to have better adhesive.

If you want test it . Let it sit in Ca. Sun Naugahyde or vinyl will shrink and curl up everywhere. Looks like hell on 2 yr old truck . Find a different glue .

Details as to why you say that?

@@luisrosales9518 🤣

We're testing this cover against other covers on the market to see how they compare, and try to mimic real life scenarios the best we can.

I think you're stupid because you're missing the entire point....

Looks like someone can talk shit behind a computer screen. No one cares about your opinion if it’s not constructive.
