Bakflip MX4

Anyone using a bakflip tonneau cover with a 5th wheel hitch?

Any clearance issues? I have the short bed. Does it have to be flipped up against the truck cab to use the 5th wheel hitch?

Nope, it works great for that. I've got the 6.75 box, no issues with clearance. Here's the obligatory photo proof

Folded for hitching, travel.

I have the MX4 on my current truck and use it pulling a 5th wheel, also. Most of the time, I fold it up like the photo above and have some things under it that I may need. Other times, I'll fold it completely against the glass.

I've had a BakFlip tonneau on my truck for 5 years, I've only ever had to fold it against the cab when needing the whole bed, only fold it flat for 5th wheel hauling. I do have an 8ft bed though.
