New to the truck world, been really indecisive about both of these. So what are real world expectations of the pros and cons of the roll type and tri fold?
I've been pleased with the MX4 on current and last pickup. Decided on MX4 due to sun/UV damage to past tonneau covers here in Southern Arizona. Both MX4 covers have been great with no leaks, no damage, and still look new.New to the truck world, been really indecisive about both of these.

I’m considering both models same as OP. I am wondering if the MX4 blocks the 3rd brake light camera when fully retracted. Anyone have any experience here?I've been pleased with the MX4 on current and last pickup. Decided on MX4 due to sun/UV damage to past tonneau covers here in Southern Arizona.

Good question. Mine covers the third brake light. However, mine is for an eight-foot bed (RAM 2500). A 5.5 or 6.5 bed could be different.I’m considering both models same as OP. I am wondering if the MX4 blocks the 3rd brake light camera when fully retracted. Anyone have any experience here?
Excellent. Thanks for checking!!!I just went out to check this on mine and the MX4 does NOT cover the 3rd brake light or camera. it lands just below the housing so its free and clear.
I wouldn't get the Revolver X4S. just bought it and its a terrible fit. Overhands the bulkhead of the bed and one side of the rail down even let me close the tailgate. ended up gouging the plastic on top the tailgate.
Yeah, I was thinking about it too. My neighbor has one on his F-150 and it looked great. A lot of points of failure was my biggest concern. If the 3rd brake light camera is clear of the fully folded up MX4 on the 5’7” box as stated here then I think that will be the route I go.Wow!!!
And I was about to pull the trigger on it.

Thanks for getting pics! Can you see everything from your rear view mirror video or is it obstructed at all?
I have a bakflip mx4 and it doesn’t interfere with anything in regards to the third brake light.Just got this from Bakflip customer service…. Now I’m confused. I believe Snofire. Thanks @Snofire !

Thanks again for doing that!No obstruction with it up. Tested it up and down, no difference.
