Practicality, thy name is pickup truck. Versatility thy name is tonneau cover. No accessory complements your pickup better than a tonneau cover. Without one, a pickup is just a pickup. With one, a pickup is a ride.
If you’re like most pickup owners, you and your truck do everything together. Work, play, on-road, off-road, the only limits are the one’s you set. But even the most rugged amongst us has to clean up once and a while, and nothing gives your truck that “cleaned up” look like a tonneau cover. Tonneau covers add a night and weekend air of sophistication to your truck while still allowing you the flexibility to do the work that needs to be done. Whether it be retractable, folding, roll-up, drop down, fiberglass or aluminum, there is a tonneau cover that’s perfect for your truck.
A tonneau cover is stylish. Let’s face it, an empty bed is, well, an empty bed. An ugly bed is an eyesore. A tonneau cover can help you make the right impression on a jobsite or when you go out to bid a job. It makes you look organized and professional. A tonneau cover on the jobsite will also keep things out of your truck bed that you don’t want there, like dust, leaves, tree sap and and other contractors’ waste and empty coffee cups.
A tonneau cover adds security to your truck. Not everything in the bed of your truck stays there until you are ready to take it out. A open bed is a display case. Tools, supplies, equipment and even your lunch have a way of walking off if not protected. A tonneau cover closes off the bed to all those willing to help these things disappear.
A tonneau cover adds gas mileage. A cover changes the aero-dynamics of your truck and cuts down wind resistence. Pickup truck owners report a significant increase in gas mileage, as much as 10%, as a result of a tonneau cover. Over the life of your truck, a tonneau cover will pay for itself many times over, just in gas savings.
A tonneau cover protects your bed from the elements. Even with the best bed liner, a pickup truck’s bed takes a beating from the elements. The sun, the rain, the wind, road salt and sand and all eat away at the bed of your truck. With a tonneau cover, you bed stays clean and dry and debris free until you are ready to load it up.
A tonneau cover increases the value of your truck. At resale or trade-in time, a pickup with a tonneau cover
brings more money. Why wouldn’t it? A pickup truck with a tonneau cover is more stylish, more secure, gets better gas mileage and says to the world that its owner cared enough about his truck to protect it.
Consider adding a tonneau cover to your pickup truck. It’s worth the investment. (picture show is from torza top.
