| HARD TONNEAU COVERS | |
| Different manufacturers offer different materials. Before buying your truck a Hard Tonneau Cover, make sure you know the pros and cons of the different versions out there. Here's an overview of the various types and their main points of interest.
Fiberglass Hard Tonneau Covers By far the most popular choice of Hard Tonneau Cover. You just can't get away from the sleek, stylish, glossy finish of fiberglass Hard Tonneau Covers. If you are planning to paint-match it with your truck then this could be the right choice for you. On the other hand, fiberglass can be dented and cracked, and it can be next to impossible to repair it and getting it back to looking like new. They are also heavy - weighing well over 100lbs - which means self-installation can be problematic. However, once fitted, they are easy to open and close thanks to hydraulic struts. They are also secure with the better models coming with good locking systems. Aluminum Hard Tonneau Covers Aluminum is a good choice if you are using your truck for work. They don't look as stylish as fiberglass, but they can be powder painted to match the color of your truck and unlike fiberglass, dents can be knocked back into shape. Most aluminum Hard Tonneau Covers come in three of four sections that are folded back for access. Again, better brands come with secure locking systems Retractable Hard Tonneau Covers Usually made from aluminum, these Hard Tonneau Covers consist of small lateral sections that can be wound up by a motor for access - rather like a garage door. They're great for security, can be color matched to your truck and are durable. But their biggest disadvantage is that the motor resides in the truck bed so you lose some storage capacity; they're also the most expensive. Polymer Hard Tonneau Covers Relatively new on the market. These Hard Tonneau Covers are durable, very secure and weather-tight. The best thing about this type of Hard Tonneau Cover is that they're much lighter than fiberglass (around 60lbs) but much stronger, which also means that installation is a one-man operation. These Hard Tonneau Covers are also cheaper than fiberglass. The only downside is that these polymer Hard Tonneau Covers don't paint match as well as fiberglass. |
