For those who care about their truck and want it to remain in good, functional condition for as long as possible, not just any old truck cover will do. The right cover will be as functional as it is stylish (at least your kind of stylish), and it will feel like a part of your truck rather than just an add-on. And of course, it will successfully protect the items in your truck bed from the elements and any would-be thieves. For one of the biggest selections on the internet, it's best to look to specialty truck bed cover retailer Tonneau. This online retailer has eight different categories of truck bed covers, with many brands and styles in each to choose from. Tonneau truck bed covers are guaranteed to last for years, and in many cases they will last as long as the life of your truck. To find the right one, here are the questions that should be asked during the shopping process.
Simply measure the bed of your truck with a tape measure, but it is a good idea to get the dimensions both inside of it and along the top ridges. Many truck bed covers on Tonneau's website (and other websites carrying Tonneau covers) also list which vehicles they are compatible with.
Retailers like Amazon and Walmart sell truck bed covers. However, Walmart does not have near the selection that Tonneau does, and Amazon has a lot of third-party retailers on its website that may or may not be the best to purchase from. Likewise, because Tonneau focuses on selling truck bed covers and no unrelated products, their staff is far more knowledgeable. Tonneau also has a lot of great deals.
When deciding which cover is the right choice, it is important to consider the kind of weather that the truck will be in most of the time. Will it be under the hot desert sun with wind and sand to consider? Will it be in considerable amounts of humidity? Will there be frequent rain? No matter what kind of weather the truck will be in, Tonneau has a suitable cover available. For example, the UnderCover Flex Folding Tonneau truck cover is a great choice for those who will experience a wide range of weather throughout the year (starts at $869).
Tonneau offers Soft Fold-up Covers, Soft Rolling Covers, Hard Folding Covers, Hard Rolling Covers, Soft Hinged Covers, Retractable Covers, Snap-On Covers and Electric Covers. In addition to these categories, the retailer also offers replacement covers, truck bed tool boxes, liners and various accessories.
An electric truck bed cover can save you a lot of time and energy, and it works with just the press of a button (the sealed ball bearings that allow it to glide open and shut also help). This button will be on a key fob, which you can add to your regular car key chain for convenience. Tonneau Electric covers start at only $1,995, which is a great deal considering most other electric truck bed covers start at well over $2,000.
Tonneau has a Specials section on its website and is currently offering select covers between $20 and $75 off. For example, the BAK Revolver X4 Tonneau Cover is now starting at $929.88, down from $993.29. Likewise, the Extang Solid Fold 2.0 cover is now listed for an $859 starting price, down from $1,070. Free shipping is also available on most Tonneau covers.
Tonneau truck bed cover orders generally have a processing time of 24 to 48 hours, and most customers will receive their cover within five to seven business days. Longer shipping times may apply for those outside the contiguous United States.
The good news is that Tonneau actually offers free returns within 30 days of purchase. This allows customers to try out the truck bed cover and make sure it fits and functions as they want it to. And in addition to their regular customer service line, Tonneau also has 24-hour live chat customer service available on their website.
