Why buy a tonneau Cover?
Tonneau COVERS SAVE GAS
A tonneau cover
for your truck's bed channels air over the bed preventing
drag and increasing performance and MPG. An independent
study sponsored by Ford Motor Company suggests that a cover
can increase MPG by as much as 10%. Your truck bed is a
magnet for air as you travel down the road. That air creates
a drag on your tailgate that can significantly reduce your
performance.
TONNEAU COVERS KEEP YOUR
CARGO SECURE AND DRY
Many tonneaus
for trucks are lockable and provide security for your cargo.
This is true for some soft covers including roll-up covers
and lift covers. In addition to security, a cover can keep
the contents of your bed dry even in a down poor.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT COVER
FOR YOUR TRUCK
Tonneau covers have become very popular
these days, and for many reasons. Truck
tonneau covers give you the option of having the extra
storage space your truck provides, while maintaining a clean
looking, sharp truck. In addition, tonneau covers have actually
been proven to increase gas mileage while protecting your
possessions from the elements and theft. These features
have made them among the most popular automotive products
available today.
There are now hundreds of available tonneau
covers for all kinds of trucks. With so many options, it
can be hard to find the right tonneau cover for your truck.
When this situation arises, I normally recommend that a
customer look at the different categories of tonneau covers
available, and make a decision based on which category of
tonneau cover will best fit their needs. I would also recommend
the buyer goes to a store and "look and touch"
the tonneau covers on the market.
Over the last 10 years we have sold just
about every tonneau cover brand available. Thru trial and
error we have come down to top brands to sell. These brands

Soft Folding Tonneau Covers
Soft folding tonneau covers are the newest
on the market and are quickly becoming very popular. Most
folding tonneaus come with a tri-fold system which is light
and easy to use. The Extang trifecta has a 10 year warranty
of the cover and has 45° steel corner brackets that
provide unparalleled strength. Extang’s commercial
grade rails and I-beam Monster Bows™ are secured with
multiple reinforcements using zinc dichromate, aluminum
braces. Together they offer the strongest, professional
quality tonneau that Extang Engineering is known for. Torza
top soft folding tonneau cover was one of the first on the
market. Torza has a 6 year cover
on vinyl, limited lifetime on components. Applications available
for the most popular domestic and import pickup models.
You won't believe how easy
the NEW Torza Cover is to install and use. It comes completely
assembled, so installation takes less than two minutes.
Hard Top Tonneau Covers
Hard top tonneaus are secure and durable. They include a
strong yet lightweight and flexible automotive grade vinyl
top mounted into a rigid aluminum frame. This set up creates
extra security while resisting scratching, chipping and
fading. In addition, hard top tonneaus offer great accessibility,
as they do not interfere with the tailgate so you can load
small packages or equipment without opening the tonneau.
Customer favorites include the Fold A Cover Tonneau Cover,
which Tri folds and can easily be removed from your truck.
Soft Roll Up Tonneau Covers
Soft roll up tonneaus offer the protection of a hard top
tonneau with the versatility of the old-school soft variety
of tonneau. Soft tonneau covers are made of a durable yet
flexible tarp fabric designed for ease of installation and
low weight requirements. Customer favorites include the
Extang Tuff Tonno III, which offers the world’s strongest
tarp attachment and special “peel and seal”
edging.
Hinged Tonneau Covers
Hinged tonneau covers offer an unchallenged ease of access
to your truck bed space with minimal effort. They lift easily
upward at an angle to allow you to quickly and easily access
your truck bed. Hinged tonneaus include heavy-duty vinyl
covers and tubular supports for one hand lifting. Hinged
tonneau covers can come with Soft vinyl cover or hard ABS
material. Downy lift top cover is very popular and competively
priced. Customer favorites include the Undercover Tonneau
Cover , with its easily installed VersaCover and strong
patented GELOYTM plastic compound cover. Undercover and
Armor Lid are great choices for a hard top hinged tonneau.
These lids are strong ABS material which is very light.
The covers are lift top for easy access to your truck bed
or can be completely removed and hung on a wall in your
garage.
Retractable Roll-Top Tonneau Covers
Retractable roll-top tonneaus are great for those who want
the hard cover type of tonneau, without the hassle of having
to lift the top. Roll-top tonneaus feature a durable canister
that mounts at the front of the truck bed allowing the tonneau
cover to easily retract into it. Customer favorites include
the Roll-N-Lock Tonneau, with its unique one piece clamp-on
track system and integral bed rail gasket, the Bak RollBak
Tonneau Cover, which lines the rails with ultra high density
polyurethane for smooth gliding, and the Pace Edwards Roll-Top
Tonneau Cover, which includes a convenient easy-to-install
top. Retrax is another great retractable roll top tonneau.
Retrax is a unique retractable pickup truck bed tonneau
cover is unique because it is manufactured from polycarbonate,
a durable thermoplastic commonly known as LEXAN®
Tool Box Tonneau Covers
Tool box tonneau covers are specially designed to fit your
truck with your toolbox installed. These tonneaus are a
favorite among customers whose trucks are used as both street
and work vehicles. Tool box tonneaus feature roll out bars,
bows and cover to allow easy access to your tools. Customer
favorites include the Extang Toolbox Tonno Cover, with its
easy pull to disengage your tail rail for bulk hauling,
and the Access Tool Box Edition Tonneau Cover, with protection
capabilities perfect for contractors, construction, farms
and other commercial uses.
Cross-Bow Tonneau Covers
Cross-Bow style tonneau covers create the older look of
original tonneau covers with the support and durability
of the new class. These tonneaus have bows that run down
the bed to support the cover and retain that classic tonneau
look. In addition, classic tonneau covers are perfect for
the price-conscious customer.
