Just picked up a 2024 Ram 1500 and I am super pumped to get it set up! Im trying to decide between the BakFlip MX4 and the Truxedo Sentry CT. My budget is around 1k and I need it for hauling camping gear in rainy Seattle by next month. Which one holds up better against water?

Congrats on the new truck! Honestly, skip the frustration if you live in Seattle. I had the BakFlip MX4 Hard Folding Cover on my last rig and unfortunately it wasnt as water tight as they claim. The seals near the tailgate leaked pretty bad during our rainy season. It just didnt hold up as well as I expected for that price. Honestly if you need to keep gear dry in heavy rain, a roll-up is usually risky. I ended up having issues with water pooling on the top too. If you really care about your stuff staying dry, save yourself the headache and go for a hard shell topper instead. Its way more secure and definitely keeps the elements out better than these folders ever will.

If you want real water protection in Seattle, skip the folders. Grab a Retrax PowertraxPRO MX Retractable Cover. It drains way better. Just keep those canisters clear of debris!

TL;DR: Honestly, forget both. I had a Truxedo Sentry CT Soft Roll-Up and the water intrusion was a nightmare. Just frustrated that these expensive covers cant handle simple Seattle rain.
