Protecting What's Underneath: The Best Tonneau Covers for Your Vehicle

Selecting the appropriate tonneau cover for your truck can be rather difficult as they're built to serve different purposes. Thankfully, we're going to bring up some questions that one should consider when buying a tonneau cover for their vehicle. With this being said, here's a look at tonneau covers for your vehicle.

What Type of Tonneau Cover?

Tonneau covers come in a wide range of varieties, so you'll need to consider what you may be looking for. Are you looking for easy removal? Are you looking for versatility? Are you looking to turn heads? Are you looking for security? Are you looking for functionality? Regardless of what kind of cover you're looking for, these questions should enter your consideration before you begin shopping for a tonneau cover.

Soft or Hard?

A soft tonneau cover is versatile, effective and less costly. A hard tonneau cover offers more security and is much more durable, but the price is a bit higher. Since we're not psychics who know what's available in your budget, the decision is up to you.

How Often Will You Use It?

Are you going to use the tonneau cover regularly or is it going to be used only on occasion? Both soft and hard tonneau covers come in hinging, retracting and folding designs to suit your interest (to match how often you'll use it). For example: Hard folding tonneau covers can be more of a process to open (to access what's in the back of the truck bed) than using a hard retracting tonneau cover.

Will The Cover Be On Occasionally or All The Time?

A tonneau cover will receive gradual wear and tear over time if used all the time. If the tonneau cover is used minimally or for special occasions, the chances of it looking great for years to come aren't be surprising.

Do You Have A Bed Liner?

The two main bed liners on the market are over the rail and under the rail. If your bed liner is under the rail, you'll have little to no issues installing a tonneau cover as they can easily be attached to your vehicle. If your bed liner is over the rail, it may limit the amount of tonneau covers at your disposal since the covers may have a harder time reaching direct contact with your truck bed.
