BAKFlip MX4 EZ-Lift Hard Folding Tonneau Cover for 2021-2026 Ford F-150 (5'7" Bed)

The 14th-generation 2021-2026 F-150 pairs perfectly with the MX4 EZ-Lift, the version built to open one-handed. Internal assist and an oversized paddle handle take the roughly 30 lb effort of a standard hard fold down to about 10.5, so the 5'7" bed folds open while your other hand stays on your gear. It is the same aluminum, weathertight, auto-locking MX4 that suits Ford's flagship half-ton.

What's Included:

• (1) BAKFlip MX4 EZ-Lift folding cover assembly
• (2) Clamp-on mounting rails
• (1) Tailgate seal
• (1) Hardware and clamp kit
• (1) Installation guide

Features

EZ-Lift Assist, 3X Easier to Open
The signature EZ-Lift assist does the heavy lifting for you. Fold the cover up with one hand using about one-third the effort, roughly 10.5 lb of lift versus nearly 30 lb on a standard hard-fold cover, so opening the bed is genuinely effortless.

Effortless One-Handed Paddle Handle
An extra-large paddle handle at the tailgate is easy to find, grab, and squeeze with one hand. EZ-Lift unlatches automatically as you lift, so there is no separate release step, and self-unlatching middle panels do away with manual cable pulls.

The Most Secure MX4 Ever
A first-of-its-kind paddle handle pulls the cover into a tighter latch, and the patented auto-latch system locks the moment the cover closes. Fewer steps, and more security than any MX4 before it.

Heavy-Duty Aluminum, 100% Bed Access
Premium multi-layer aluminum panels over a high-density core fold flush against the cab for full bed access, then fold back and auto-latch closed. Rated for 400 lb evenly distributed on the closed cover, and it never blocks your third brake light.

Weathertight Sealing and Drainage
EPDM perimeter seals and tight-fit clamps seal the bed edge to edge, and an integrated drainage system routes water off the cover so your cargo stays dry in rain and at the car wash.

Automatic Latching Security
Panels latch down automatically as the cover closes. With the tailgate shut and locked, the bed stays locked and weathertight.

No-Drill Install, Made in the USA
Bolt-on clamp rails install in 30 minutes or less with no drilling. Assembled in the USA and backed by a 5-year warranty with US-based support.
