BAK Revolver X4S Fitment Issues on 2025 Ranger Lariat

[Midlifec]

So are the 2025 beds longer than the 2024?
Were the beds redesigned because of the J brace?
One of the build sheets I kept when the truck was delivered stated "Job 2".

Good question but I have no idea

I just picked up my new 2025 Ranger 2 weeks ago today, and just this past Friday I installed the BAK Revolver X4S.

At this time I would caution against ordering that product until BAK has a chance to figure out what's going on. I have supplied them with numerous photos and measurements so they can investigate.

The bottom line right now is the the cover is not long enough to even reach from the front to rear edges of the side rails, and the rear edge of the cover is sitting in space above the lower front edge of the tailgate cover. The image below shows the gap and this is with the rear edge of the cover aligned with the rear edges of the side rails.

Is there not a seal under that rear gap that catches the inside edge of the tailgate cap?

The whole problem with putting covers on these trucks is the way Ford designed the rear corners of the bed caps where they meet the tailgate. The corners being on an angle means that if the cover comes back far enough to meet that high spot on the tailgate cap the rear corners of the cover will hang over the bed rail and look like crap. Ive seen some pics of the Truxedo soft roll ups that this is the case.

So when I installed mine on a 24, there instructions where a bit weird in how they tell you to put the L bracket up front up against the bulk head. The picture shows the bracket sitting on top on the bulk head but when I installed it it would bind and have that gap. Once I moved the rails back, it got rid of the gap and sat flat on the truck.

The D-seal that faces towards the rear barely contacts the inside of the tailgate, if at all. The Rear edge of the cover has no vertical support at all.

I just had one installed last week and the place where I purchased it had a horrible time with the clamps provided. They ended up using the clamps from the Access Original cover I had on previously.

I didn’t have any trouble with the clamps, and the rails went on just fine. It’s just the cover itself that doesn’t fit on my truck.

BAK is sending me a replacement cover in response to this issue and the email I sent with all the measurements. Not sure if they’re changing anything or if they just decided the one I got first was incorrectly built. Its supposed to ship on or before 4/25, so maybe they’re tweaking something with the design. I’ll update after the new install.

I just installed the BAK Revolver X4TS last weekend and had the same issue with wrong instructions. I got mine installed and have the same gap as your photo above.

Have you reached out to BAK?

My cover has this exact same fit and I have a 24 model. I thought that's just how it fits on the bed. @RealTruck is this fit correct?

I have been having similar fitment issues as well. Going back and fourth with them for a fix on the X4ts cover I have since January… hoping the third time is a charm.. and never received my $150 rebate either(Approved 1/30/25)

Did you have any problems with the install

Not really the install was pretty easy. I watched the video that KayaPayaPigDog uploaded and it made the process really smooth.
