One Hand, One Third the Effort, Full Bed Access
The BAKFlip MX4 EZ-Lift brings a major upgrade to the best-selling hard folding tonneau cover in America. Built specifically for the 2019 to 2023 Ford Ranger with a 5 foot 1 inch bed, part number 450332 uses a spring assisted lift system that cuts the force needed to fold the cover from nearly 30 lbs down to just 10.5 lbs. That means one hand, one motion, and full access to the bed in seconds, even when the bed is loaded with cargo up front.

Will this tonneau cover fit a Ford Ranger with a 6 foot bed?No. This tonneau cover is built specifically for the 5 foot 1 inch bed. Ranger models with the 6 foot bed require a different BAK part number.

Does this cover require drilling to install?No. The BAKFlip MX4 EZ-Lift uses a clamp-on mounting system that attaches to the bed rails without drilling into the truck bed.
