Looking for the Perfect Tonneau Cover?

While trucks are often chosen for their rugged looks, there is no question that trucks, from small pickups to heavy commercial makes, are first and foremost utility vehicles. Whether you use it to bring home the weekly groceries or for moving materials from one worksite to another, a truck’s value lies in its bed. That’s why so many people are realizing the importance of having a good tonneau cover. Not only does it protect the cargo inside, it also shields the bed from undue wear and tear and from the elements. At BAK Industries, we know that not all tonneau covers are equal. The question many truck owners ask us is, “What’s the best truck tonneau for my vehicle?”
Unsurprisingly, the answer is, “It depends.” The type of truck, how you use it, and your budget are all factors that need to be considered when choosing a tonneau cover. That’s why we offer tonneau covers that suit every need, each with its own unique benefits and features.

The Benefits of Tonneau Covers

Our high quality tonneau covers have some features in common, no matter which style you choose.

Better Aerodynamics

By closing off the bed, tonneau covers increase a truck’s aerodynamics, reducing drag that occurs when air moves over the cab of the truck and flows down into the bed, creating significant wind resistance. A tonneau cover allows the air to continue to flow smoothly over the bed. In the end this translates into better performance and less fuel consumption.

Cargo Protection

The same forces that affect speed also impact anything you’re carrying in your truck. Smaller packages can be damaged by the force of air moving through the bed, and larger items can actually be lifted, increasing the danger of cargo falling from the bed. A tonneau cover protects your cargo from these forces, as well as from rain, snow and extreme heat and cold.
Additionally, tonneau covers protect your belongings from theft. Not only does a good cover protect your items from prying eyes, a locking cover keeps your cargo safe and secure.

Form Meets Function

While a tonneau cover is definitely a functional addition to your truck, there’s no question that it enhances the look as well. A great tonneau cover can enhance the sleek outline of your truck, making it as beautiful as it is reliable.

Which Tonneau Cover Do I Pick?

Light Duty

To choose one, consider how you use your truck, and how you will be using the tonneau cover. If your truck serves light duty – perhaps the weekly grocery run or carrying supplies for that weekend DIY project - you might consider the RollBak. The easy retraction of the cover makes it easy for everyone to use and protects items from damage, weather and theft. Its sleek appearance also enhances the style of your truck as well, combining form and function.
If your truck is subjected to more demanding usage, such as a work vehicle, you might consider the TiltBak. Its light weight makes it easy to remove alone, but without sacrificing strength - it can hold up to 300 pounds of evenly distributed weight. The durable material handles the knocks and bangs that a work truck inevitably experiences, and can stand up to punishing materials like acids and salts.

Utility Vehicle

After all, your truck should work as hard as you do! The concealed locking mechanism keeps your work gear safe, even if you are tied up on a site for a while and easy tilt access lets you grab your stuff and go.

Heavy Duty

If you frequently carry larger loads, and don’t want to remove the cover repeatedly, the BakFlip is an excellent choice. The cover folds up and away neatly, giving you full usage of your cargo space. Whether you’re moving furniture for a friend or taking the ATVs out for an exciting weekend, you’ll quickly discover how easy a BakFlip makes things. Store your goods securely away while you’re out on the trails, and just flip it back when it’s time to go home.
