They have a variety of truck accessories to choose from at their camper store and auto parts shop, including brands like Tonneau and WeatherTech®. Since their selection is extensive, use the following guide to find the perfect cover for your vehicle.

Truck Bed Cover Buying Guide

Hard Covers

A staple among truck accessories, the hard bed cover is known for its durability and secure, dome-like structure that provides optimal space for cargo. Because this cover can’t be torn apart and is tightly sealed, it is the prime choice for protecting items in the truck bed from wind, rain, and other elements. If purchased, be aware that the installation requires more than one person, as the cover can weigh a hundred pounds or more.

Soft Covers

If you want the same protection from the elements but don’t need the additional space a hard cover provides, soft covers are your best bet. Made from heavy vinyl and supported by metal frames, this cover rolls from the truck’s tailgate to the cab, either latching or snapping closed. It also boasts a simple installation process, free of drilling. 

Retractable Covers

This option incorporates the convenient retractability of soft covers and the durability of hard covers. Its sleek, heavy-duty panels lend a stylish, modern look to any work vehicle, making it the most polished truck accessory listed so far.

Hinged Covers

Most akin to the trunk of a car, these covers open and close by way of hinges at the cab of the truck. They can be removed easily to make room for larger items that otherwise wouldn’t fit. This cover is made from fiberglass that can be painted to match the vehicle or customized to your liking.
