Buyer's Guide to UnderCover Bed Covers
Truck bed covers protect the bed of your pickup truck and its contents from rain, snow, wind, dust, and more, while also keeping your belongings safe and secure. Plus, a quality cover can enhance the appearance of your vehicle.
If you’re seeking a one-piece solid truck bed cover for your pickup but want something different from the standard (heavy!) fiberglass truck cover, then we invite you to explore the UnderCover bed cover.
This product comes with unparalleled strength and durability because of its patented design and proprietary plastic-polymer blend. Plus, most UnderCover bed covers are about half the weight of the traditional models while maintaining their strength.
One of the biggest selling points for a solid cover is that it overlaps the sides, front, and tailgate, which gives unparalleled water resistance. It’s also incredibly difficult to break into one of these covers.
If there’s a downside to a solid cover, it would be the clamshell design. While perfectly usable – and very convenient – it does mean that if you want to carry something taller than the bed rails, you may need to remove the cover. Be sure to do that BEFORE you go buy that new refrigerator! UnderCover solid covers average around 58 pounds and are easily removed. They also include hangers that you can mount in your garage, so you can safely store your cover when you don’t need it.
Read on to learn more about the different solid cover models that UnderCover offers.
Classic, SE, and LUX Truck Bed Covers
Classic UnderCover truck bed covers served as the world’s first truly competitive option for people who wanted something different from the traditional, heavy fiberglass cover.
This model caught the attention of pickup truck owners across the country as they appreciated its strength, impact resistance, and durability while weighing less than competing models.
The UnderCover SE is nearly the same as the Classic but with an updated, more aerodynamic appearance and a slightly-inclined rear spoiler. It also uses one centered lock, whereas the Classic has one on each side. This makes it a bit easier to operate the SE.
The SE is available for many truck models in a smooth version for those who want to paint-match their cover to their truck. These do not have the textured finish of a standard SE and are paint-ready. It’s important to note, that these are bare, non-UV-protected covers and are a grayish color. They MUST be painted before use.
But, what if you don’t want a textured black cover, yet you also don’t want to have to paint one, either? That’s where the LUX model comes in. The UnderCover LUX is a smooth SE that is paint-matched to your truck’s original factory paint!
Elite Truck Bed Covers
The Elite UnderCover truck bed cover is a meticulously engineered and produced, refined choice with a completely new design. New features include a single, centered handle, OEM code-matchable lock, an upgraded, removable LED light, and a Cargo Retriever.
The result is a sleekly-styled cover with a customized contoured fit and an easy-on, easy-off construction. Like the Classic and SE, the Elite also includes wall hangers for storing your cover in the garage.
Elite LX Truck Bed Covers
The Elite LX UnderCover bed cover is the newest model in the lineup and is a custom-engineered model that comes with everything you’ll love about an UnderCover Elite, only more! The Elite LX lives up to its name, for sure. Underneath the cover, there is mold-resistant carpeting and on top, a paint-matched surface, making your UnderCover look like it came right from the factory.
This lightweight ABS cover comes with precise composition construction, a full perimeter seal, a removable LED light, and quick-release construction. Not surprisingly, this model is in great demand by truck owners like you.
Folding Covers
While UnderCover cut their teeth with solid covers, they’ve got a full lineup of folding covers. Folding covers are perfect for when you want to keep your gear covered and safe, but you also want an easily-removed and storable cover.
TRIAD Truck Bed Covers
The newest UnderCover is the TRIAD. TRIAD UnderCover bed covers feature matte black panels in a hard-folding design, with integrated perimeter seals for optimal protection from the elements. Aluminum panels can support up to six hundred pounds of evenly distributed. The Triad can be used either fully closed or folded and strapped in with 2/3 of the cover open.
This allows you to haul just about any kind of cargo with the TRIAD’s tailgate clamps easy to use for quick truck bed access. The TRIAD comes fully assembled for easy installation and easy removability.
Flex Truck Bed Covers
Next in line is the Flex. The Flex Under Cover truck bed cover introduces the next-gen of folding truck bed covers, combining the security of a truck bed lid with the ease of a soft roll up tonneau cover.
The UnderCover Flex features aluminum, rail-mounted panels, which not only fold all the forward but also can be used in position parallel with the back glass of the cab, using the included prop rods. The rails are designed to channel water to drain tubes to get water out and away from your gear.
Ultra Flex Truck Bed Covers
The Ultra Flex UnderCover truck bed covers steps things up a few notches. Functionally, it’s similar to the Flex, but includes some extra features. On top, you’ll find matte black aluminum panels. Underneath, you’ll find luxurious, mold-resistant carpeting and an integrated luminous light rail system to help you find your gear at night.
The Ultra Flex is one of the lowest-profile folding covers on the market and is barely noticeable from the side, giving it a factory look. A dual action tailgate seal helps keep water and dust out and also allows the tailgate to be opened with the rearmost cover panel opened or closed.
ArmorFlex Truck Bed Covers
The pinnacle of the lineup is the ArmorFlex UnderCover bed cover. If you expect your cover to work as hard as you do, the ArmorFlex is the hard folding cover for you. Similar to the Flex and Ultra Flex, the ArmorFlex can be folded completely parallel to the cab glass. When closed, it can withstand whatever nature (or you) throws at it. The heavy-duty aluminum panels are coated with LINE-X ®. Toss your keys onto the panels at the gas pump without worrying about scratching your cover! Put your tools up there when you’re at the job site. The ArmorFlex can take it!
Like the Ultra Flex, the ArmorFlex comes with a dual-action tailgate seal, so you can close the tailgate while having the last cover panel in the up or down position.
