Linex Tonneau Covers

I'm considering purchasing one of the Line X bed covers but I'm having a hard time finding good info on the two options: Stealth, and LXP. Anybody have any info on these two and what the differences are? The LineX Truck Gear website is pretty sparse on pics and detailed info.

IMO, those tonneau's look like private labeled BAK units.

I think that's exactly what they are, but without reliable and detailed info it's hard to come choose which of the two to purchase. According to the LineX shop nearby the LXP has actual LineX spray applied to the cover. But as far as functionality or load bearing I haven't gotten any good info.

Ive been looking at the same thing. I started out looking at Extangs. Ive had their soft covers on all my trucks since 95. I was looking at their Solid fold 2.0 for around $800. But then I noticed the Line X units. The LXP has the Line X coating but I think they are both the some otherwise. Some reviews of the Extang said they leaked too much. It looks like a better seal on the Line X. They say 400 lbs evenly distributed. Which kind of means nothing to me. But I probably wouldnt walk around on it. Although I would think I could walk along the edge and stand on it somewhat to wax my roof.
Line Xs site says its aluminum on one line and fiberglass on another. It says lifetime warranty. I probably wont go until the fall but I have spoken to my local Line X dealer and he sounds like a good guy. I like the idea of making an appointment and getting sprayed and covered with lifetime warranties on a Saturday for under 2 grand.

I had a few Truxedo covers over the years and really liked them.
For my 18 F450 I got a Bak Flip and really didng like it and it leaked a lit of water.
Back to a Truxedo now, low pro QT. Much happier.
What I didnt like on the Bak Flip
The way it folded up put a lot of force on the top and put a dent in it.
Folded up it blocked the rear window.
Leaked too much water.
But it did look good!

Like the gentleman above, i believe they are private label Bak covers. I had a MX4 coming for my truck but realized like the MX4 on my Raptor, it sits too low in the bed to fit my giant Yeti cooler in there with the cover closed. So i called Line-X as they were lining my bed and asked them to install one of their soft truck gear covers. So far so good, looks pretty decent and sits slightly above the bed rails.

I have the deluxe roll up cover on my truck. It's as good as any of the other roll up's that I've seen & it comes with a great warranty. I have the typical leaks in the corners that I have had with every other cover on any of my trucks, not a big deal either way. My previous trucks have had the Bak Flip & the Bak roll up, both great covers but expensive plus freezing issues on both in the winter. I will probably buy another Line X deluxe on my next truck.

My Linex cover was made by BAK for Linex. It is the exact same one as the Bakflip FX1. Linex gave me the same best price that any BAK dealer in my area offered with no charge for install. The clincher was that now I have Linex’s lifetime warranty.

The UnderCover Armorflex is a lineX coated cover, sister company of BakFlip. How many panels does the cover have thats being sold by LineX? If its the same as the FX1 than its fiberglass?
