SKU: bak450324
Overview
The BAKFlip MX4 EZ-Lift Hard Folding Tonneau Cover (Part #450324) is the latest and most advanced member of BAK Industries' award-winning MX4 family, purpose-built for the 2021–2026 Ford Maverick 4'5" (54") bed. Engineered for truck owners who demand effortless daily access without sacrificing security or durability, this best-in-class hard folding tonneau cover opens with 3× less effort than conventional covers — using just one hand. If you're searching for the best hard folding tonneau cover for your Ford Maverick, the MX4 EZ-Lift delivers premium protection, one-handed convenience, and a factory-finished matte black look straight out of the box.
Key Features & Benefits
- EZ-Lift Torsion Spring System — Opens with just 10.5 lbs. of lift force versus nearly 30 lbs. on conventional hard covers, enabling effortless one-handed operation even while wearing gloves or carrying gear.
- First-of-Its-Kind Oversized XL Paddle Handle — Auto-unlatches as you lift, eliminating the need for a separate unlatching step. Easy to locate and grab in the dark or with full hands.
- Patented Auto-Latch System — Locks the moment the cover closes with no manual action required. Self-unlatching middle panels also eliminate traditional manual cable pulls entirely — the most secure MX4 ever built.
- Premium Multi-Layer Aluminum Construction — Ultra-strong aluminum skins bonded over a high-density polymer core resist bending under pressure and deliver years of reliable, dent-resistant performance.
- Advanced Edge-to-Edge Seals + Precision-Fit Clamps — EPDM rubber perimeter seals and tight-fit clamps create a tighter barrier against rain, road spray, and dust to keep cargo dry in any conditions.
- 100% Full Bed Access — No Removal Needed — Folds completely to the cab and secures there, allowing you to haul oversized cargo without ever removing the cover.
- Industry's Only Hard-Fold That Clears the Third Brake Light — Maintains full OEM third brake light and integrated backup camera visibility in every position, keeping you street-legal and safe.
- 400 lb. Weight Capacity — Evenly distributed static load capacity supports gear storage on top of the closed cover.
- Textured Matte Black Finish — Low-profile, flush-mount design complements the Maverick's styling across all surfaces for a sleek, factory-integrated appearance.
- Assembled in the USA — Proudly designed, engineered, and assembled domestically, backed by a dedicated U.S.-based support team.
- 5-Year Limited Warranty — Industry-leading coverage protects against defects in materials and workmanship from the original retail purchase date.
- Tested in Extreme Conditions — Validated from −40°F to 180°F and 0–95% humidity for reliable performance across all climates and seasons.

Fitment & Compatibility
The BAK 450324 is a vehicle-specific fit designed exclusively for the 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 Ford Maverick with the 4-foot 5-inch (54") bed. This cover is NOT compatible with Maverick beds equipped with bed caps or toolbox add-ons. Confirm your bed length before ordering. If upgrading from a standard BAKFlip MX4 to the EZ-Lift, note that the EZ-Lift requires its own unique rails and clamps — the existing MX4 rails are not interchangeable.
Is this CARB compliant? The BAKFlip MX4 EZ-Lift is a mechanical truck bed cover with no emissions-related components, so CARB compliance does not apply to this product.
Does the BAKFlip MX4 EZ-Lift keep water out? The MX4 EZ-Lift uses EPDM rubber perimeter seals, precision tight-fit clamps, and integrated drain channels to handle typical rain and road spray effectively. No tonneau cover is fully waterproof, but a properly installed MX4 EZ-Lift provides excellent weather resistance under normal conditions.
Installation
The BAKFlip MX4 EZ-Lift is a Level 1 bolt-on installation — no drilling, cutting, or trimming required. Simply mount the included side rails to the bed using the precision-fit clamps, set the tri-fold cover onto the rails, and secure the strap clamps from the underside. The torsion spring is pre-installed; once setup is complete, pull the activation pin to engage the EZ-Lift system. All necessary hardware is included, and most owners complete the install in 30 minutes or less with basic hand tools. A QR-code installation guide is included in the box, and video installation guides are available through RealTruck's support team. Professional installation is not required but is available at authorized dealers.
