What could be easier than opening your tonneau cover by remote?!

Q: How do you install a tonneau cover?
A: Depending on which tonneau cover you purchase many don't require drilling. Soft tops utilize clamps for installation while hardtops utilize hinges and shocks. Both are easily installed with basic hand tools.

Q: What exactly is a soft roll-up tonneau cover?
A: Soft roll-up tonneau covers are normally a cloth material or something similar, and are intended to be very easily opened and stored. They are the most affordable of any tonneau covers, and the most easy to open and store. Most are opened and closed using 'snaps'. The benefit is easy access to your truck bed, but the drawback is less security than a hard-top tonneau cover.

Q: What is a tonneau cover? Why buy a tonneau cover?
A: Tonneau covers cover the bed of your truck. There are a variety of reasons to get a tonneau cover. For one, they protect and lock up cargo that you're hauling in the bed of your truck. Also, they add a great custom look to your truck, giving it improved style over the factory look. One other benefit of tonneau covers is that many improve gas mileage by improving the aerodynamics of your truck, reducing your truck's drag.

Q: What exactly is a hard top tonneau cover?
A: It's a cover that has a hard shell. Normally made of fiberglass, aluminum, or hard plastic, these covers are probably the most popular and come in a variety of styles. Since they're hard and normally smooth, they can be a great way to reduce gas mileage since they provide a better wind channel that is less resistant than an open bed. Also, hard top tonneau covers are often paintable, which gives your truck a great custom look while keeping your cargo secure. Hard top covers are also more secure than some other types of covers (such as soft-top covers), and almost all come with a lock are have a lock available on our website to buy with the cover. One other feature about some hard-top tonneau covers is that some come with struts, so that when you unlock the cover and let it open, the struts power the lid open for you so you don't have to break your back opening the lid.

Q: What exactly is a folding tonneau cover?
A: A folding tonneau cover is one where the entire cover can be folded into sections. This can be beneficial for a numbers of reasons: 1) it alllows easy access to the cargo in your bed since you can lift one panel of the cover instead of needing to lift the entire large cover, and 2) it makes for really easy storage (which cannot be said about a hard top tonneau cover for example).

Q: What are some different types of tonneau covers?
A: There are dozens and dozens of different types of tonneau covers available. You can get soft or hard tonneau covers, fiberglass or plastic or aluminum, with or without air shocks, paintable or not. The options are seemingly endless. Go through our vast array of tonneau covers, and you're sure to find one that perfectly suits your tastes.

A: It's simply a bed lid that is made to work on trucks that have a tool box installed in the bed. These covers do not come with tool boxes, but rather mount up against your existing tool box.

Q: Is a bed lid the same as a tonneau cover?
A: Yes, those are two terms that mean the exact same thing. Some people refer to them as bed covers. All are terms that refer to the same thing.
