TRUCK BED COVERS
When picking out a Tonneau Cover, it is very important to decide what your main goal or purpose is before you make your investment. Adding a Tonneau Cover to your truck is not only very practical but also greatly enhances the appearance of your truck.

Hard Tonneau Covers (Fiberglass)
If enhancing the appearance of your truck is one of your top priorities, because it is painted to match your truck, then the fiberglass truck bed cover could be the one for you. The fiberglass tonneau cover is also very effective when it comes to security and protecting your personal items against the weather. The fiberglass tonneau cover averages weighing about 160 pounds. Because of this, removing the bed cover can be a task. So if you plan on carrying larger items (that would require you to remove the truck bed cover) very often, this may not be the tonneau cover for you.
Hard Tonneau Covers (ABS Plastic)
The top selling brand in this style is “Undercover”. This style has become extremely popular. This is a hard truck bed cover made of an extremely durable ABS plastic. Most of these covers come in black, but “Undercover” has recently come out with a paintable version. With this cover you get the “best of both worlds”: you have a light weight (only 58 pounds) truck bed cover that can be removed in minutes so you can haul larger items and is also secure against thieves and the weather. This Tonneau Cover is also a very attractive addition to your truck.
Hard Tonneau Covers (Retractible)
This truck bed cover has also become very popular. It gives you the ultimate in style and function. These Tonneau Covers fit flush with the bed of your truck and are made with a very rugged and durable aluminum that is usually covered with an attractive vinyl laminate. This truck bed cover retracts into a canister that is mounted in front of the truck bed. When retracted, you can haul larger items, eliminating the need to remove the truck bed cover. This truck bed cover is a very secure and durable choice. It comes in a manual retracting and an electric retracting version. The “Roll-N-Lock” is the most popular retracting Tonneau Cover.
Hard Tonneau Covers (Tri Fold)
The tri fold truck bed cover design gives you easy accessibility to your cargo and security. You can usually cary larger items without removing the bed cover, but if you have to remove it, it is normally easy and quick. This Truck bed cover is normally made of a durable ABS.
Soft Tonneau Covers
Although the soft truck bed covers do not offer you security for your valuables, they do have a number of benefits. They are quite a bit less expensive, very light, very attractive, and most are removable in seconds. There are various versions: Snap Tonneau Covers, Roll-up Tonneau Covers, Snap-less Tonneau Covers, Hinging Tonneau Covers, and Tri-Fold Tonneau Covers. Carrying larger cargo is not a problem with most of these versions.
