What’s so great about a tonneau cover? It keeps your personal items dry and secure. Tonneau covers make for a great addition to any pickup truck. They keep your stuff out of the rain, sleet and snow and it discourages thieves. The aerodynamic design helps increase gas mileage
There are various styles of tonneau covers. There is the roll-up tonneau cover kind, the retractable tonneau cover, fiberglass tonneau cover and a folding tonneau cover. Also there is the aluminum and “drop down” truck bed cover.
Roll-up tonneau covers are popular and cheapest in cost. Roll ups are attached with clamps and some require light drilling. In high crime areas, this may not be the best option unless you rarely carry valuables. They take up little space and can be easily rolled up and be set aside.
Retractable Tonneau Covers: Give the flexibility of having a hard tonneau cover with the options of being able to haul larger items without removing the cover from the bed. You sacrifice some space in the front of the bed for the storage canister and it may leak a little. They are a good all around value.
Tonneau covers made of fiberglass are exceptionally weather-tight but are heavy. It is necessary to remove it to transport large things and removing it is a bit time consuming. They weigh about 150 pounds and are usually the same color as the truck.
Tonneau covers that fold are affordable and a good alternative to the very pricey hard or retractable covers. However, they could leak a little water. But their durability comes at a more affordable price than the fiberglass cover.
Aluminum tonneau covers are engineered to give you the ability to transport large items without taking the cover out. These types of covers require some space for the container at the front.
New to the bed cover scene is the ”retractor type” or ”drop down” bed cover. It allows you to use the truck bed without having to remove the aluminum cover. The retractor cover can be locked at 12-inch intervals if you like.
