The BAKFlip G2 for RAM 1500 is our premium hard folding tonneau cover engineered specifically for 2009-2025 RAM 1500 models with 5'7", 6'4", or 8' beds.

Aluminum Panel Construction & Finish
We engineered the BAKFlip G2 ram 1500 cover with aircraft-grade aluminum panels that deliver professional-grade protection without adding excessive weight to your truck. Each panel features our proprietary FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer) skin bonded to an aluminum core for maximum strength and dent resistance.
The matte black powder-coat finish matches factory RAM bed rails and resists fading even under constant sun exposure. Our G2 series panels include integrated stiffening ribs that prevent flexing when the cover supports snow load or equipment weight. The aluminum construction means you’ll never deal with rust, cracking, or warping common with cheaper composite covers.
Folding Design & Bed Access Options
Full Open or Partial Fold
The G2’s tri-fold design gives you complete control over bed access. Fold all three panels completely forward against the cab for 100% unrestricted bed space when loading tall cargo or using your fifth-wheel hitch. Need partial access? Prop the cover at the first or second panel position to secure front cargo while leaving the rear section open.
Our integrated straps lock each panel securely in the upright position—no flapping or shifting while driving. The cover folds and unfolds in seconds without removing any components, so you can adapt to different hauling needs throughout your workday. When closed, the flush-mount design maintains your RAM’s aerodynamic profile and improves fuel efficiency compared to driving with an open bed.
Installation Process for RAM 1500 Models
We designed the BAKFlip G2 for straightforward installation that most truck owners complete in their driveway. Our rail system clamps directly onto your RAM 1500’s factory bed rails using adjustable tension knobs—no drilling, welding, or permanent modifications required.
Position the side rails along each bed rail, adjust the spacing to match your specific RAM bed length, and tighten the clamps until secure. The cover’s hinge system arrives pre-assembled, so you simply drop the folded panels onto the mounted rails and secure the front header. Detailed instructions guide you through torque specifications and alignment steps. The entire process takes 20-30 minutes with basic hand tools, and the cover removes just as easily if you need to temporarily haul oversized cargo.

Common Questions About the BAKFlip G2 for RAM 1500
Yes, the G2 is fully compatible with spray-in bedliners. Our adjustable clamp system accommodates the extra thickness of spray liners like Line-X or Rhino Liner. You may need to adjust the clamp tension slightly tighter than you would on a bare bed, but the cover mounts securely without any modifications. The rubber seals compress to maintain a weather-tight fit regardless of bedliner texture.
You can drive with the cover folded in any position. Our integrated retention straps lock each panel securely upright when folded, so there's no risk of panels flapping or coming loose at highway speeds. Many RAM 1500 owners drive with the cover folded forward when hauling tall cargo or towing fifth-wheel trailers. Just make sure the straps are properly secured before driving.
RAM 1500 trucks come with three bed lengths: 5'7" (67 inches), 6'4" (76 inches), or 8' (96 inches). Measure your bed from the inside of the bulkhead to the inside of the tailgate to confirm your exact length. We manufacture the BAKFlip G2 in all three sizes with model-specific fit. When ordering, you'll select your RAM's year, bed length, and whether you have the RamBox storage system, which requires a different mounting configuration.
We offer a RamBox-specific version of the BAKFlip G2 that's engineered to mount over the factory RamBox bins. This version uses modified side rails that clear the RamBox lids while maintaining full cover functionality. You retain complete access to your RamBox storage—just open the bins from outside as usual. Make sure to specify RamBox when ordering so you receive the correct rail configuration.
The G2 supports up to 300 lbs of evenly distributed weight when fully closed and latched. This means you can safely stand on the cover for bed access or stack lightweight cargo on top. Avoid concentrating heavy weight on a single panel or exceeding 300 lbs total. The aluminum panel construction provides impressive strength, but the cover is designed primarily for bed protection rather than as a load-bearing platform.
The BAKFlip G2 uses an automatic rotary latch system that engages when you close the rear panel against the tailgate. When your RAM's tailgate is locked using the factory key lock, the cover cannot be opened from outside the vehicle. This dual-lock system secures both the tailgate and the cover panels. For maximum security, always lock your tailgate when leaving the truck unattended.
Independent testing shows that hard tonneau covers like the G2 can improve highway fuel economy by 5-10% compared to driving with an open bed. The low-profile design reduces aerodynamic drag by smoothing airflow over the bed. Your actual fuel savings will vary based on driving conditions, speed, and whether you're towing or hauling cargo. Most RAM 1500 owners report noticeable improvement on highway trips.
