I've had several recommendations for a hard bedcover.
I'm pretty sure I want the MX4.
But I have a couple questions about the install.
I have a drop in bed liner that I would like to keep for the moment.
Is that possible?
And if I do keep the liner, how challenging does that make installing the water drains for the MX4? Can it be done?

No matter what cover I choose, drainage will be an issue with the bed liner?

I’ve been looking at this cover for the same truck. Does your liner cover the inside lip of your bed? Pretty sure access is needed the full length to attach side mounts for this cover.

I’m doing LineX on mine as my last Ranger had a drop in and it made me not want to do it again.

Yes, I have access to the inside lip. The drainage is my only issue to resolve, I think.

I would call them and ask. You most likely are not the first one to inquire about this

You can do with a drop in liner...see installation instructions attached! I love my BAKFlip (I have a spray in liner)

I have the factory hard tonneau and use to have the bedliner as well. It's not an issue. Just run the drain lines through the bedliner and then through the box.
