Why You Should Install a Tonneau Cover on Your Pickup Truck
You may have recently purchased a pickup truck or want to give your truck an upgraded look with the addition of a truck bed cover but are unsure of the benefits. Roll up and hard truck bed covers offer more than just aesthetic appeal. They protect your cargo from the elements, while keeping it out of sight from thieves. In addition, their low-profile, aerodynamic design creates less air drag, resulting in better gas mileage.
WeatherTech offers two different styles of truck bed covers for your truck: Roll Up Pickup Truck Bed Cover and AlloyCover. Both provide excellent protection when it comes to security and protecting against the elements, but in the end, it all comes down to personal preference.
Roll Up Pickup Truck Bed Cover
The custom-fit, WeatherTech Roll Up Pickup Truck Bed Cover is made from a commercial grade reinforced vinyl that stays flexible in extreme temperatures. It features a water-resistant design that protects cargo from wet weather and has an automatic dual locking system that provides excellent security when combined with a locked tailgate. Its aerodynamic, low-profile design provides a sleek look and reduces drag, increasing gas mileage.
The Roll Up Pickup Truck Bed Cover is convenient for hauling various items because it keeps cargo protected when covered and rolls out of the way for oversized cargo. Installation is easy and doesn’t require drilling into your truck's bed.
Roll Up Pickup Truck Bed Cover Features
- Low-profile, aerodynamic design
- Keeps cargo away from the elements
- Easy to operate — opens and closes in seconds
- Made from commercial grade reinforced vinyl
- Water resistant — seals form tight barriers between cover and truck
- AutoLatch II latching system for added security
- Custom fit for popular truck models

AlloyCover: Tri-Fold Hard Truck Bed Cover
The WeatherTech AlloyCover is a lightweight, foldable hard truck bed cover. This low-profile cover features an easy-to-use tri-fold design, making installation and removal simple. Sitting less than half an inch above the truck bed and incorporating a textured matte black finish, it provides a sleek, stylish look. The AlloyCover incorporates flexible rubber seals and vinyl-coated hinges to reduce metal-on-metal contact to prevent unwanted vibrations and excessive noises common in most bed covers.
Strong aluminum panels, reinforced hinges and its AutoLatch II latching system provide unbeatable security when paired with a locked tailgate. Extruded aluminum channels support the panels to hold up to 400 pounds, while weighing only 50 pounds.
The water-shedding design routes water away from the bed without gutters or drains. To keep the elements out, the cover overlaps the bed rails with a continuous seal along the entire length of the side rails.
