Dirt bike does fit in the 5.5ft bed with Backlip MX4 tonneau/bed cover!

[PandaBoi]

Hey y’all,

So its pretty common knowledge that one could fit a dirt bike (tailgate up) in the standard 5.5ft bed of an F150, but I couldn’t find much online about fitting one in with a tonneau/bed cover. Most people recommended getting a removable one that you’d take off when putting a bike in the back but I’m lazy and that was too much work to do every weekend.

Well I’m pleased to say that the Bakflip MX4 will fit a standard dirt bike in the bed with the tailgate up. I figured I’d share some pics of my 21 KTM 300XCW in the bed just so others who have the same question may have an easier time deciding and can see what it looks like. Paired with the $75 ramp from harbor freight and the built in tailgate step, it’s honestly a great setup and super easy to load/unload.

NOTE: the front fork does not rub the cover when the bike is strapped down. In this photo the bike is free standing.

Cheers!

Is that the Haul Master ramp you got?

Yessir! It works great. I especially like the rubber boots on one end that protect the plastic on the tailgate. I was worried it might be too short since the raptor is a little higher off the ground but it works great.

Looks great. From the angle of the picture, your fork protector looks like it's going to rub big time against the cover. Is that ramp really 30lbs? There are much lighter ones for about the same price.

Do you have a link to where I can find one that is much lighter and about the same price? I just did a quick search and the majority of them are >$100.

Here you go. I guess they are $20 or $30 more. Weighs around 15lbs. I have the tailgate step on my Raptor and it loads up my KTM and Husky's with no problem

Sweet, thanks man. The tradeoff for less weight is a slightly higher price, decisions, decisions.
