What to Look for in a Tonneau Cover?
This guide will give you the tools to select the perfect tonneau cover for your truck to safeguard your cargo. One of the biggest questions truck owners often have is “How am I going to protect the cargo in my truck bed?” Between toolboxes, drawer systems, toppers and more, truck owners have a wide variety of bed customization options. While all of these products offer great solutions, one of the most popular products to protect cargo for decades has been the trusted tonneau cover.
Today’s tonneau covers are made of several different types of materials, open and latch in different ways, and feature a range of security options so choosing the right one can be challenging. Tonneau covers have become the gold standard for protecting gear you want to keep clean, dry and secure. A good bed cover can also improve your gas mileage.
There are many types and styles of covers but these are the most common:
Truck Gear by LINE-X offers six of the most popular styles of tonneau covers, several of which are loaded with extra features that most truck owners are looking for in a tonneau cover.
WHICH TONNEAU COVER SHOULD YOU BUY?
Lightweight, heavy-duty aluminum panels equipped with a UV-resistant matte black finish that makes the Truck Gear by LINE-X Stealth Hard Folding Tonneau Cover an attractive choice for those who seek robust durability and styling. The Stealth Hard-Folding Tonneau Cover’s name is derived from its flush-mounted solid panels which create an extremely low-profile design that is barely visible above the truck bed. Coupled with three different locking positions and a dual-action tailgate seal, this cover is the perfect choice for those who want to “go in dark” and stay under the radar for added security.
If the term ‘durability’ could take physical form of a Truck Gear by LINE-X product, then the Truck Gear by LINE-X LXP Hard-Folding Tonneau Cover would be it. An upgrade to the popular Stealth cover featuring the same loaded features but with extreme durability. The LXP cover boasts one of the highest levels of durability available out of any tonneau cover offering from Truck Gear by LINE-X thanks to a proprietary LINE-X coating applied which is completely UV stable. Constructed from heavy-duty folding panels, this cover is highly resistant to dents, dings and scratches and won’t fade over time, even in the harshest sunlight. Protect your truck’s bed even further with a LINE-X PREMIUM spray-on bedliner for the ultimate pair in cargo protection.
Durability is once again front-and-center with the Truck Gear by LINE-X Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover. Featuring a durable matte powder-coat finish, this cover benefits from style and dependability with an ability to support more than 500 pounds; making it one of the strongest tonneau covers on the market. Retractable Hard Tonneau Covers allow full access for any storage needs thanks to a unique spiral track-system which rolls fully into a 10” x 10” canister and prevents the cover from ever encountering itself as it retracts.
Stand out from the crowd with the all-new Truck Gear by LINE-X Eclipse Hard Roll-Up Tonneau Cover. Truck Gear’s latest cover features a premium, dirt-resistant matte finished fabric which is pressure-bonded to heavy-duty black aluminum slats for the ultimate style and protection. This superior woven material stays looking clean no matter the elements and when rolled up at the cab, the cover provides full bed access without blocking rear-view visibility. Moreover, when the cover is closed, the low-profile rail design delivers a sleek, flush-mounted appearance which is easy to open from either side of the truck thanks to a quick-release system.
For the truck owner who hauls oversized loads, the Truck Gear by LINE-X Soft Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover features a unique clamp-closure system boasting extreme durability. The system allows the truck to be driven with the tonneau in the open position for those long hauls. The Soft Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover also improves fuel economy by reducing vehicle drag and gives your truck a luxurious look while covering the bed from outside elements.
Easy to use, effective and functional. Truck Gear by LINE-X Deluxe Roll-Up Tonneau Covers offer a low-profile design that improves the look of your truck and a quick-release system means this tonneau cover can be installed in a breeze, all without the use of tools. Automatic tension-adjusters eliminate the need for periodic manual adjustments and retainer straps securely latch the cover with ease. Cover rolls up easily to allow 100% truck bed access without impeding vision. The tear resistant leather-grain vinyl fabric looks nice and helps protect your cargo in the toughest conditions.
