Product Description

The BAK Industries 449602TS BAKFlip MX4 TS GEN 3 is the rack-compatible premium evolution of the best-selling MX4, purpose-built for the 2017-2026 Honda Ridgeline with a 5 ft. 4 in. bed. The core distinction between the 449602TS and the standard MX4 (448602) is the integrated T-slot side rails - precision-engineered aluminum rails with built-in T-slot channels on both sides of the bed that accept aftermarket crossbars, racks, cargo baskets, rooftop tents, and a broad range of cargo accessories quickly and securely, without any additional drilling or dedicated mounting hardware. For Ridgeline owners who want to haul gear above the cover while keeping cargo secure and dry below, the MX4 TS delivers both simultaneously in a clean, flush-mount package that disappears into the truck's profile.

The GEN 3 upgrade brings substantial improvements in strength, security, and weather resistance. High-density polymer-reinforced aluminum top panels provide 22% greater rigidity than the original MX4, and BAK's proprietary Multi-Shield™ matte black coating delivers 11x more surface durability against dents, scuffs, and scratches compared to a standard automotive finish - while remaining fully UV-resistant for years of outdoor exposure. The re-engineered automatic latching system improves forced-entry resistance over the GEN 2 design, with all panels locking automatically as the cover closes. Upgraded EPDM rubber perimeter seals and all-new tight-fit clamps press the cover tighter to the bed rails than any previous generation, and the dual-action tailgate seal maintains full Honda tailgate functionality whether the cover is open, folded, or closed. An integrated water drainage system routes any moisture that reaches the rails directly out of the bed.

The GEN 3 click-in installation design reduces setup time by 12% over previous generations and allows a complete, no-drill install in 30 minutes or less by a single person using the included hardware. The cover is compatible with the Ridgeline's unique in-bed trunk, and all bed stake pockets remain accessible for additional accessory mounting. Tested in extremes from -40°F to 180°F and up to 95% humidity, assembled in Missouri, and backed by a 5-year limited warranty with USA-based support, the BAK 449602TS is the definitive hard-folding tonneau solution for Ridgeline owners who demand maximum cargo versatility without compromising security or weather protection.
