Mopar Hard Tonneau Cover, Ram 1500

[MickeyRam]

I’m considering getting a Mopar hard tonneau cover for my Ram 1500. Are there any positive and negative experiences/ things about this product? Is it worth the price?

I’m a big fan of the Bakflip MX4 tonneau cover. I have had it on both of my rams. It’s a hard cover but I like that I can fold it so if I have bigger items I can still put them in.

FYI

Dont purchase the Ram one piece color coordinated tonneau cover.

So here's my story. Two months ago I decided to pull the trigger on a factory {Ram} one piece color coordinated tonneau cover for my 2019 Bighorn 1500 4 x 4. I got a good price with a coupon from my dealer with installation. Fast forward to 2 days ago, I went to put my tools back in the...

It depends on what you use your truck for. If you need to use the full bed what types of problems will the Mopar full tonneau cover create for you? It appears you would need help removing the cover or some form of set up.

The Bakflip rests against the window when fully opened. The UNDERCOVER ULTRA FLEX TONNEAU COVER uses bars to hold in the open position. Many have had leaking rear windows and that would be a concern for me. Compare the two.
Many on the forum have chosen the Bakflip.

Haven't seen the Mopar branded one so I cannot speak to its quality but hard, one piece covers are great at being weatherproof. Drawbacks are not being able to easily use the entire bed for loading. Also, usually need to open cover first before you can open the tailgate.

Search that part number and there are Mopar parts sellers selling them for a lot less. Bam is $1260.73

In my opinion and from a friends personal experience with that style one piece hard cover like that is they suck if you use your truck as an actual truck. My buddy put one of those covers from I believe LEER on his Ford and absolutely regretted spending the money on it. He needed to buy a washer and dryer for the house and couldn't even use his own truck because of the cover. It's at least a 2 person job to install and remove and then comes the safe storage problem once it's off. Its big and bulky. I don't have any personal experience with them and my buddy's story is why I will never have any experience with them. I do however think they are perfect if you only use the bed for small items that can fit under that cover without having to remove and store it somewhere.

In my opinion, they are the best looking, but the worst to have. For that price, you could almost get a hard roll up one, that rides in a track, and rolls into a box at the front of the bed.

Thanks for the information. It seems like the Bakflip MX4 tonneau cover is the way to go.

I do see quite a few of them selling a used one for $600-$800 locally.

I got mine for my last truck for $780.
They are great covers, the Mopar brand is actually made by Bakflip (for the hard tri-fold). There's no reason to buy the Mopar branded unit itself
