TonnoPro vs BAK Tonneau Covers

The most immediate difference you'll see between BAK and TonnoPro truck bed covers is the price. As a quick example, the cheapest TonnoPro hard folding tonneau cover starts at $549.99 whereas the cheapest BAKFlip starts at $800. That's a $250 difference, which is nothing to laugh at.

However there are some key differences between the two brands.

First, the BAKFlip truck bed covers give you full truck bed access. This is a necessity for some people, and can be worth the extra price if that's what you require.

Second, the BAKFlip truck bed covers have a more flush look and a more premium feel, which makes them overall a more premium option.

If you just need to get the job done and want to save some money, we recommend the TonnoPro line. This is still a high quality option, it just doesn't have some of the premium functionality and flush look that puts BAK solidly in the premium side.

All TonnoPro truck bed cover orders come with a few extra goodies: a tonneau cover cleaner spray bottle, a tailgate seal, a torch truck bed light (to help you find cargo), and some work gloves.

What are the main differences between TonnoPro and BAK?

TonnoFold on a truck

TonnoFold vs. BAKFlip

The TonnoFold Tri-Fold cover is TonnoPro's vinyl truck bed cover. This one is an easy comparison, because BAK does not offer an equivalent truck bed cover.

This is very popular option because the price point starts at $289.99, which is a really great deal for a quality tonneau cover and an accessory bundle. The top is made with a vinyl material, which is also known as a soft folding tonneau.

The most equivalent BAK cover is the BAKFlip line, but those are hard folding (not a soft folding vinyl). If you're interested in a hard folding tonneau, see just below this for a comparison.

BAK Hard Folding cover on a truck

HardFold vs. BAKFlip

While TonnoPro carries the TonnoPro HardFold tonneau, BAK has 4 different hard folding tonneaus. The main difference between TonnoPro and the BAKFlip's are 1) the BAKFlip provides full truck bed access, 2) BAK tonneaus are more flush and a lower profile and 3) BAK has a more premium look and feel to them.

The HardFold tonneau is a high quality product, and we have had many happy customers with it. It's a tonneau that will fit most people's requirements. However if you are looking for something that looks and feels more premium, the BAK has some seriously solid contenders.

Between the 4 BAKFlip tonneau's, there are different options depending if you want a semi-gloss or matte black option, if you want something that's reinforced for strong weather, or if you want something that's cooler for hot environments. The comparison chart we have below should help you make a decision.

BAK Revolver tonneau on a truck

LoRoll vs Revolver

In the rolling tonneau covers, there is a very large difference between the TonnoPro and the BAK truck bed covers.

TonnoPro's LoRoll is a basic, economical tonneau cover that uses velcro on the sides and requires you to manually roll the tonneau cover up. It takes longer to open and close. Because it's a very simple tonneau cover, the price point is much lower starting at $289.99.

On the other end of the spectrum is the BAK Revolver X2 and X4 rolling covers. These bed covers are very high quality, are a hard tonneau, and utilize a track system. They are very easy to open and close, and you can retract a tonneau in just seconds.  

The BAK tonneaus sit flush with the truck rails and are the easiest rolling tonneau cover that you can operate without going to an electronic tonneau.

See how easy it is to operate the Revolver X2

 

Watch as the Revolver X2 is tested at Silver Lake Dunes in a Ford Raptor. This truck bed cover is matte black, and looks great on all new model trucks. It's incredibly easy to open and close as you can see in the video.
