Top 7 Truck Bed Covers & Why You Need One This Summer

June 22, 2021 by Annie

When you’re cruising down the highway in your truck, you need a truck bed cover to keep your bed’s contents safe. Whether you’re heading out on a camping trip or leaving for work, here’s your guide to the top seven tonneau covers for the summer.

1. BAK BakFLIP MX4

This folding cover comes in matte-black and folds into three sections for easy loading. With protective coatings that prevent scratches and UV radiation damage, this cover is sure to last. It’s also a  lockable tonneau cover, so you don’t need to worry about anyone taking your belongings during a rest stop.

2. Truxedo Truxport

This Silverado tonneau cover roll-up is easy to use, with Velcro straps securing the cover to your bed’s rails. Experienced users take under 30 seconds to roll up this cover, so you don’t need to worry about long delays. It’s weather-resistant, but make sure it’s dry before you roll it up so that the rainwater doesn’t fall into your bed.

3. Tonnopro Tonnofold

This tri-folding cover expands and collapses based on how much gear you need to store. It’s aerodynamic, so it doesn’t interfere with your turns or speed. The frame is made of powder-coated aluminum, so it’s sure to last even during the harshest weather.

4. Pace Edwards Switchblade

This tonneau cover is retractable, allowing you to maximize space in your bed. It also boasts some of the top security measures for truck bed covers, with aluminum in the frame and cover for enhanced protection.

5. Extang Trifecta 2.0

If you don’t need a hard cover, consider the Extang Trifecta 2.0. This soft cover folds into three segments and is made of canvas or specially treated fabric. The aluminum frame holds the fabric taught, keeping your gear dry and safe.

6. Retrax RetraxPro MX

Make your tonneau cover stand out from the rest with this high-quality cover. It’s strong enough to support 500 pounds, and it has a UV radiation protective coating, so you don’t need to worry about the matte-black finish fading. This cover is lockable and it’s compatible with hitches, so if you’re taking your camper or trailer, this cover is your best bet.

7. Rough Country Low Profile

This aluminum folding cover includes rubber seals so that your gear or groceries stay completely dry during storms. It comes with securable rods that lift up your cover in case your gear is too tall for its original height, which is flush with the bed.

Why Do You Need a Tonneau Cover?

Without a truck bed cover, your bed’s contents are exposed to the elements and thieves. In the summer, storms get harsher and you spend more time on vacation, so there are more opportunities to lose your tools, luggage, or fishing supplies. Just as you need to purchase new weather mats for cars, investing in a high-quality tonneau cover is a necessity for the summer.

Keep your belongings safe and dry by choosing one of these tonneau covers for your truck before the summer starts.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
