The Best Tonneau Cover & Truck Bed Cover

10. Trident FastTrack Retractable Truck Bed Tonneau Cover

With the low-profile design that retractable covers are known for, the Trident FastTrack is really something quite extraordinary. The high-quality but low weight aluminum is lighter than many other retractable tonneaus, and it’s actually stronger! Said to be one of the easiest retractable covers to install, you’ll have this cover on in no time with absolutely no drilling required whatsoever!

Jamison H who drives a Ford pickup truck says:

Install wasn't too bad. Very well built. Came with everything needed. Does exactly what I needed. Even works with goose neck. Shipping was quick enough for large item by ground. Price was better than anywhere else.

9. Undercover Elite Truck Bed Tonneau Cover

While old school fiberglass tonneau covers looked cool and reduced wind resistance, having next to no bed access is too serious of a problem for most truck owners to deal with. But for a smooth classic look that retains your bed access, a hinged cover could be the way to go. The lightweight construction of the Undercover EliteTonneau combined with quick release hardware make it the hottest hinged cover of the year.

Dale D who drives a Dodge pickup truck says:

The Undercover Elite Tonneau Cover quality is top of the line. The cover fit my 2014 Dodge [pickup truck] perfectly. It took me between 30 minutes to an hour to install. I could have installed quicker, but a friend was there distracting me. The black color looks great with the silver color of my [truck]. Quick delivery. The delivery man called and met me at my house. He was extremely nice and helpful in moving the large package to the garage. A++++ company.

8. BAK Revolver X2 Tonneau Cover by Bak Industries

Virtually all rolling truck bed covers are vinyl, or some similar soft material. But not the BAK Revolver X2. This is a rolling over with some real tenacity. The industrial-strength aluminum construction makes this cover tough enough for the long haul, and light enough for simple, no-strain daily use. A totally flush “no-profile” fit keeps your truck looking great, and keeps your gear out of reach from prying fingers.

Anton D who drives a Nissan pickup truck says:

This is my 4th Bak product and my 3rd revolver. I had the backflip on my 2007 [Dodge truck] which worked great. Then I had the first gen revolver that got replaced under warranty and the second one worked great! I bought a new 2017 [Dodge truck] so I got a new cover and couldn't be happier! It's clean, keeps things dry and is secure since it is aluminum and fully locking.

7. Pace Edwards Switchblade Truck Bed Cover

The Switchblade from Pace Edwards brings style and ruggedness to your truck bed without sacrificing a thing on either front. An ArmorTek deck is padded with polymer finishing making this a strong, stylish, and weather-tight truck bed cover. You’ll have no need to worry about thunder or thieves with a Pace Edwards Switchblade covering your gear.

Cindy P who drives a Ford pickup truck says:

This is the second cover we have owned from Pace Edwards, only buying a new one because I bought a new truck. It is very durable and holds up in bad weather. We travel a lot and this keeps everything dry and secure. Installation was the only challenge because of the liner in the bed. The liner had to be cut in the front so the cover could be installed correctly. Sounds daunting but it's pretty easy.

6. Leer HF650M Hard Folding Tonneau Cover

One of the most common styles of tonneau that truck owners look for is a tri-fold hard cover. Ease of operation, protection from weather, and a resilient surface are all benefits to this style and all of these qualities can be found in spades in the Leer HF650M Hard Folding Tonneau Cover. This durable, weather-resistant truck bed cover is built tough-as-nails and comes with a Lifetime Warranty.

Jeremy P who drives a Chevy pickup truck says:

5. TonnoPro Tri-Fold Soft Tonneau Cover

A soft tri-folding cover is an old standby in the tonneau world. The soft vinyl protection looks great, while the tough support frame underneath keeps everything in the right position. In the case of the TonnoPro Tri-Fold Soft Tonneau Cover, the sturdy epoxy coated Aluminum frame can take just about anything, and comes backed by a Lifetime Warranty. With a seriously simple clamp-on, clamp-off installation system, this cover is an old standby at its finest with a price tag other covers envy.

Daron H who drives a Ford pickup truck says:

Received quickly. Installed easily. Was worried it would have severe flapping while driving but has very little. Several storms with heavy rain have hit us lately and the cover kept the bed dry. It appears to be well made and durable. Hope all stays the same.

3. TruXedo TruXport Soft Roll-up Dual Latch Tonneau Cover

For quick, easy, and even partial access to your truck bed, a rolling cover has been a staple of the industry for many years. While many tonneaus of this style feature cumbersome and unreliable snaps, the Truxedo TruXport uses a high-grade velcro material. The result is a beautiful and easy-to-use cover that installs with no drilling, or cutting required.

Harold R who drives a Nissan pickup truck says:

Easy to install. Took about 10 minutes. Seems to be built to last with quality hardware and components. The nicest part is that it the truck looks so much nicer now. In my opinion Truxedo makes the nicest looking tonneau cover on the market.

2. Trident FastFold Truck Bed Tonneau Cover

1. BakFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover by Bak Industries

While three panels is by far the most common, the BakFlip MX4 features four panels and a boat-load of other cool features. This brings an unmistakable style to this truck bed cover, and allows the cover to quickly open completely for 100% bed access. Plus, thanks to a universal seal, you can close this set-up tailgate first, or tonneau first for versatile ease of use.

Paul C who drives a Dodge pickup truck says:

Overall this is a very good bed cover. I have owned the Fold-A-Cover and this is superior in every way. Simple to install folds back instead of accordion style and stays latched, something the Fold-a-Cover never did right. This cover also seals the front of the bed better. So if you are considering a bed cover I would highly suggest the BAK flip! I also would like to point out that Auto Accessories Garage has excellent customer service! They met all my needs and exceeded my expectations when I informed them of a small problem!

SOFT ROLL-UP TONNEAU COVERS

Some of the benefits of soft roll-up tonneau covers are that they are less expensive than their hard counterparts and are easy to install. A soft roll-up truck bed cover is installed on rails attached to clamps and, as you can imagine, you roll it up to access your truck’s bed. A roll-up tonneau cover allows you quick access to your truck bed. They roll up in just seconds, making it beneficial for people who need to unload gear quickly. Another advantage is that they can be completely rolled out of the way so you can access the entire bed.

There are two different installation types: top-mount and flush. The thing to remember about the top-mount style is that they will cover your pocket holes. What this means is that you won’t be able to use tie downs or ladder racks without taking off the entire tonneau cover. A flush mount soft cover, however, will allow you to use tie downs.

PROS

• Quick and easy installation and use.
• One of the least expensive options among tonneau covers
• Provides a moderate level of security, hiding your truck bed’s contents from passersby.
• Provides a moderate level of protection from the weather, especially the sun
• Is able to be rolled up to easily and quickly access the entire truck bed

CONS

• Does not keep your belongings as safe from theft as the more expensive hard tonneau covers
• Most use velcro fasteners which do not provide much in the way of security
• They can collapse with heavy snow and you should not put cargo on top of the cover
• The fact that they are easier to damage than hard tonneaus means it is a good idea to find one with a solid warranty.

HARD ROLLING TONNEAU COVERS

A hard rolling tonneau cover combines the functionality of a soft rolling cover with the sturdy security of a hard truck bed cover. After all, while soft-roll covers look nice and sporty, a determined thief with a knife could potentially slice their way in. A hard-folding cover puts that problem on ice. Typically consisting of Aluminum slats covered in vinyl, a hard-folding cover will take up more space than a soft-roll when in the opened position, and may thereby further obscure your rear visibility.

PROS

• Simple installation process
• Combines sporty looks with sturdy security
• Can support weight on top like ice and snowfall
• Easy operation, opens and closes quickly
• Heavy-duty materials for durability
• Affordable options available

CONS

• Vinyl covering may not be as durable as other materials
• While weather-resistant, never truly waterproof
• Bulky at forward end when in open position
• May obscure rear visibility in open position

SOFT FOLDING TONNEAU COVERS

For the look and feel of soft vinyl with the functionality of a folding cover, a soft folding tonneau cover is the answer. With a soft-folding cover, the vinyl is typically pulled over a metal frame, allowing you to fold the cover up towards the cab and secure it in the open position when hauling oversized cargo. Most soft-folding covers secure to your bed rails with hand-turned clamps so installation and removal is easy.

PROS

• Most affordable style of folding tonneau cover
• Lightweight and easy to lift
• Easily operated with just one hand
• Smooth, sleek aesthetic
• No exposed hinges for superior weather protection

CONS

• May create noisy flapping if improperly secured
• Easily broken into
• Cannot support cargo on top
• May obscure rear vision in open position
• Vinyl cover may ultimately fray or rip

HARD FOLDING TONNEAU COVERS

Perhaps the most popular style on the market, hard-folding tonneau covers consist of three or four panels that will fold up and secure near your cab when you haul tall cargo or secure your gear beneath. Combined with a locking truck bed cover, a hard folding tonneau provides complete security to your payload.

PROS

• Durable and secure with a locking tailgate
• Simple installation process
• Superior weather-proofing, supports snow and ice on top
• Variety of materials and finishes available
• Quiet performance even at highway speeds

CONS

• May obscure rear visibility when open
• Less affordable than some soft covers
• May not be compatible with some racks and accessories
• Panels may be prone to denting or scratching

RETRACTABLE TONNEAU COVERS

The most stylish and high-tech truck bed covers on the market are no doubt the retractable covers. Functioning similarly to a soft-folding or hard-folding tonneau cover, a retractable tonneau simply slides in and out of the opened position and coils itself into a built-in canister. Whether motorized or manual, a retractable tonneau will offer a futuristic new style to your truck bed.

PROS

• High-tech and precise
• More weather-proof than any other rolling style
• Premium security when coupled with locking tailgate
• Durably made and built to last
• Maximizes bed space when in the opened position

CONS

• Canister takes up bed space whether opened or closed
• Typically on the pricier end of tonneau covers
• Installation may be complicated
• Difficult to remove

HARD SHELL TONNEAU COVERS

Taking it old-school, a hard shell tonneau cover is one single piece that functions like a hinged lid to allow you to access your truck bed. Because there are no moving parts on the cover itself, this style offers the best in weather protection and security, but offers very little functionality beyond that.

PROS

• Unmatched weather protection
• Most secure tonneau cover available
• Can be color matched to your truck
• Easy to operate
• Fewer failure points

CONS

• Cumbersome to ship, carry, and install
• Difficult or impossible to haul oversized cargo
• Prone to dents and scratches
• Greatly reduces rear visibility when in open position
