The 2020-2026 Gladiator is built to get outside, and the MX4 TS turns its 5' bed into base camp. Cross bars, kayak or bike carriers, and a bed rack bolt to the factory T-slot rails, so you carry gear up top while your kit stays locked and dry under the hard fold. A Multi-Shield coating makes the matte finish up to 11X more scratch resistant, and the rails clamp on in under 30 minutes with no drilling.

Features
Integrated T-Slot Rails, Rack-Ready The MX4 TS carries factory-integrated T-slot rails down both sides, so the cover comes rack-ready out of the box. Drop in cross bars, cargo holders, kayak and bike mounts, tie-downs, or a bed rack and haul up top while the bed stays covered and locked underneath. Racks and accessories are sold separately.
Heavy-Duty Aluminum, 22 Percent Stronger Redesigned aluminum top panels ride over high-density polymer cores for a rigid, secure deck that is about 22 percent stronger than the original MX4, resisting cuts, prying, and dents while staying light enough to fold with one hand.
Multi-Shield Coating, 11X More Scratch Resistant A specialty Multi-Shield automotive coating makes the matte-black surface up to 11X more durable against scratches and scuffs, so the low-profile cover keeps its clean look through years of daily use.
100% Bed Access in Seconds The panels fold flush against the cab, opening the entire bed for pallets, appliances, or a dirt bike, then fold back and auto-latch closed. It is the only hard fold that keeps your third brake light visible in every position.
Weathertight Sealing and Drainage Re-engineered perimeter seals and tight-fit clamps block rain, dust, and spray edge to edge, and an integrated drainage system channels water off the cover and out of the bed so cargo stays dry.
Automatic Latching Security Re-engineered panels latch down automatically the moment the cover closes, with improved resistance to forced entry over the Gen 2 design. With the tailgate shut and locked, the bed cannot be opened from outside.
No-Drill Click-In Install, 400 lb, Made in the USA The all-new click-in clamps cut install time by about 12 percent and need no drilling, so the rails go on in under 30 minutes with hand tools. The closed cover holds 400 lb evenly distributed and is assembled in the USA (Missouri) with a 5-year warranty and US-based support.

MX4 TS Rail System At SEMA
Shot at SEMA, this official RealTruck clip focuses on the MX4 TS integrated T-slot rail system, showing how cross bars, bed racks, and cargo accessories mount directly to the cover so you can carry gear up top while the bed stays covered and locked underneath.
Because it is filmed on a show floor with the accessories already fitted, it is the clearest look at what the rails are actually for: the T-slot channel runs the length of each side, and hardware slides in and clamps down wherever you need it rather than at fixed points.
One Motion Opens The Whole Bed
Drop the tailgate, release the rear latches, and fold the panels forward against the cab for full access in seconds.
The panels fold flush against the cab, opening the entire bed for pallets, appliances, or a dirt bike, then fold back and auto-latch closed. It is the only hard fold that keeps your third brake light visible in every position.
Sealed Against The Weather
Edge-to-edge seals and tight-fit clamps shed rain and spray so your cargo stays dry underneath.
Re-engineered perimeter seals and tight-fit clamps block rain, dust, and spray edge to edge, and an integrated drainage system channels water off the cover and out of the bed so cargo stays dry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
Will the MX4 TS fit my 2020 Jeep Gladiator with the 5' bed?
This cover is built specifically for the 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator with the 5' bed, so it is a direct clamp-on fit. Bed lengths are marketed a few different ways and tape-measure figures vary by where you measure, so if you are between sizes, measure your bed and match it to the 5' listing before ordering.
Can I mount a rack or cross bars on this cover?
Yes, that is the point of the TS. It has factory-integrated T-slot rails down both sides, so it comes rack-ready. You can add cross bars, a bed rack, cargo holders, kayak or bike mounts, and tie-downs (sold separately) and still fold the cover for full bed access underneath.
Can someone get into the bed when the cover is closed and locked?
No. The panels latch down automatically as you fold the cover closed. With the tailgate shut and locked, the cover cannot be opened from outside, giving you weathertight, lockable bed security.
Is the cover waterproof, or will water get into the bed?
It is built to be weathertight rather than fully submersible. EPDM perimeter seals and tight-fit clamps block rain and car-wash spray, and an integrated drainage system routes water off the cover and out through drain tubes. Like all folding covers it is water-resistant, not waterproof, but it keeps rain and spray off your cargo in normal use.
Do I need to drill into my truck to install it?
No. The MX4 TS clamps onto your factory bed rails with the included clamp-on rails, with no cutting, trimming, or drilling, and it installs in about 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
How much weight can I set on the closed cover?
It is rated for 400 lb evenly distributed across the closed panels, which is fine for gear, a cooler, or a sheet of plywood laid flat. It is not meant for concentrated point loads.

Look is great. 100 lbs
Look is great. 100 lbs lighter than my 2nd pick. Lid lock and opening are smooth. Only minor knock I give is the the tie down hooks are hard to install - thinking I should have done them before installing.

A must have
I really like this mat. I was apprehensive at first but, the mat does a great job of keeping things from sliding around without having to secure it. perfect fit. But i think i will be adding some short screws to secure the mat to the DECKED system.

I never knew how much I needed this
As with all BAK covers, the quality is amazing. What I didnt fully appreciate until installing was the ease of opening - especially in a lifted truck. No more need to find the right handhold. Just roll it back with a single hand. Its also great to see out of my rear window when fully open - something you lose with the fold back covers. Customer service is awesome. I has an installation question and the representative stayed on the line as I adjusted an alignment to ensure I did it properly.

Better then expected.
Searched for about 6 months to find the tonneau cover. I really wanted the security of a hard top without sticking above the bed rails it checked those boxes. I also did not want to drill my truck bed. The install was super simple my wife and I had it on the truck in about a half an hour.

The toolbox is nice. I
The toolbox is nice. I think Ill get a lot of years of service out of it. I like how the lid opens and the tie downs are a nice touch. It seems to be well built. And tough. Im pleased with my purchase and would buy another one.
