An open pickup truck bed can be less than ideal. Your cargo is exposed to snow and rain, can seemingly levitate and take flight on its own, or worse, yet – walk away with thieves. It only takes a minute for someone to walk up, grab, and go off with your gear. That big open pit behind you can also ruin your fuel economy. Tonneau covers are the solution.
Truck bed covers are sleek, stylish, practical solutions and are available in many different styles, configurations, materials, and price ranges. Bed covers are built from hard or soft materials and are available in roll-up (either hard roll-up or soft roll up truck bed covers) folding, including the popular soft tri-fold truck bed cover, retractable tonneau, or solid one-piece styles.
Regardless of which bed cover you go with, it will help protect your bed and cargo from the elements, and reduce wind drag. Today's covers are all designed for easy bed access and several styles are fully removable for when you need every bit of bed space you can get.
You can't go wrong with any tonneau cover. There are different styles and price ranges, but you're certain to find one that's practical and stylish. Our H&H Truck and Outdoor specialists are well-trained and can help you find the perfect tonneau cover for your truck.
Truck Bed Covers FAQs
What types of truck bed covers are available and how do I choose the right one?
Truck bed covers come in multiple styles including hard folding, soft folding, retractable, roll-up, and one-piece solid lids. Each style offers unique benefits based on materials, security, ease of use, and bed access. Hard folding covers provide strong security with rigid panels, while soft folding covers are lighter and more affordable. Retractable covers offer sleek, low-profile security with variable bed access. Consider how often you need full bed access, your budget, and security needs to find the best fit.
What are the material differences between hard and soft truck bed covers?
Hard covers use sturdy materials like aluminum, composite, or fiberglass for robust protection and theft resistance. Soft covers typically use industrial-grade vinyl or canvas stretched over a frame, offering lighter weight and easier handling but less security. Hard covers resist dents and damage better, while soft covers can be more flexible and budget-friendly.
How easy are truck bed covers to install and remove?
Most truck bed covers feature relatively easy installation with clamps or rails. Soft folding and roll-up covers often install with minimal tools within an hour. Hard folding and retractable covers may require professional installation to ensure perfect fit and function. Many covers are removable for hauling oversized cargo but varying designs affect removal complexity.
How do different truck bed covers impact security and weather protection?
Hard covers generally provide the best theft protection due to their rigid construction and locking mechanisms. Soft covers protect well against rain and sun but offer limited security. Retractable covers balance convenience and security with lockable positions. Weather sealing varies, but most modern covers include seals and designs to keep water out and protect cargo.
