Ive been leaning that way myself. One question. How much water gets in when it rains hard? Not that it really matters other than when we are travelling on vacation we often put baskets of clothing in the bed. My previous GMC I put an Extang soft cover. It was 95% dry most of the time but some water got in over the bedrails. No big deal. However on the steel body GMC, that area ended up rusting and blistering a bit due to NJ salty winters.

I bought two at once and got them for $775. That’d tell me the price point buying one ought to be $8-900.

So if I have this right, MX4 is painted aluminum, F1 is aluminum with a layer of FRP over it and the Line-X is aluminum with FRP(same as F1) plus a layer of Line-X. Or is it actually the same as the MX4 with Line-X coating instead of the matte black paint?
*Line-X list them at $1199

Thats about the same as the MX4. If they are the same as the F1 then thats not a bad price, F1 being 1K+.

Now Im really confused hahaha, in their description of the LXP cover they say, "The Truck Gear by LINE-X® LXP Cover safeguards your cargo with heavy-duty folding panels that are reinforced with a LINE-X® coating for extreme resistance to damage'.
They also have the "Stealth" cover that sounds exactly like the MX4.

I suppose Linex might supply Bak with a special coating... but that seems unlikely. Linex truckgear is really just a branding initiative for Linex to get markup on items customers buy through them...

I had LineX spray in my in my bedliner (premium $530) this weekend. They quoted me $1199 for the LXP cover. They offered to take $100 off and install it. I said no thanks. I'll probably go with Lomax Pro tri-fold diamond plate cover and do my own install. They're $863 from AutoAnything.

Local Line-X dealer(sprayed my bed last month) quoted me $1200 on the Stealth and $1300 on the LXP, includes installation. I wouldn't want it installed but I have a feeling that wouldn't change that quote much. So I ordered an MX4.
