The word tonneau is French and roughly translated means cask, container, or cover. But in the USA, it means enhanced protection, functionality and style for the bed of your pickup truck! Tonneau covers have been around in one form or another since the early 1900s, and putting one on your truck today is one of the best upgrades you can add to your rig.



A tonneau cover increases gas mileage, protects your valuables and looks razor sharp! Hard or soft tonneaus, roll-ups, tilts, tool boxes, even motorized tonneaus— you'll find them all by clicking here.


You need a Tonneau Truck Bed Cover if you want to:

  • Prevent theft: Keep your personal items such as tools, equipment, groceries, and anything else that you might place in your truck bed hidden from view. Think "out of sight and out of mind" when it comes to preventing theft. 
  • Protect your personal items: Tonneau pickup covers protect the items in your truck bed from Mother Nature— snow, rain, dust, dirt, bird droppings, and the sun. Plus it keeps items from blowing out or rolling around and breaking as you drive.
  • Save money at the gas pump: Some truck bed tonneau cover manufacturers claim an average savings of around 6% to 8% by boosting your aerodynamics, preventing drag in the tailgate of your truck bed.
  • Look cool: In addition to protecting your property from thieves and the weather and saving money on gas, a tonneau truck bed cover just looks great!  It adds sleekness and style, especially when you're not carrying any large cargo.

Styles of a Tonneau Truck Bed Cover


The most inexpensive style is a roll up tonneau pickup cover made from cloth or vinyl.  A rib-like structure supports the fabric and keeps it taut. A system of snaps is also used. Depending on the manufacturer, truck owners may may need to drill or use permanent adhesive with the snap system. Roll up tonneaus are opened by rolling the cover up toward the cab of the truck to gain access to your truck bed. A soft roll up tonneau truck bed cover folds in 3 sections and allows easy access to cargo. A hard folding cover also folds in 3 sections but offers tougher, more durable and solid protection. Hinged truck bed tonneau covers come with a hinge behind the truck cab so your cover can be lifted just like the lid of a toolbox.

Another common style is a retractable tonneau cover is a retractable unit which is mounted at the front and sides of the bed and rolls up or retracts from the tailgate towards the cab. Usually there is a small rectangular canister attached at the front of the bed to store the tonneau cover when retracted. The retractable tonneau is typically made of vinyl, plastic or aluminum. Retractable tonneaus are convenient to use because they don't involve assembly or disassembly and are usually lockable. It's the most expensive option, but will make your truck look like a luxury vehicle!

A hard tonneau cover is commonly made of fiberglass and offers the best appearance. This style of tonneau pick up covers can be painted to match the truck (unlike the other styles which are generally black), are solid in construction, and can be locked. These covers are usually heavy and require gas struts to assist in opening and closing. They operate much like a vehicle's hood, typically opening from the tailgate end of the bed (back to front). However, some are available with multiple compartments that will open front to back, back to front, side to side, or even rise vertically. Fiberglass or a hard tonneau cover is sometimes installed as a factory option on some new trucks, but if you bought a pickup with one, it can be added right now.




The back of your shiny new truck seems naked without tonneau pickup covers. In addition to the cool looks that a tonneau truck bed cover gives your vehicle, it is also very practical in that it protects your tools, equipment, and even groceries from thieves and the weather. Choose from a hard tonneau cover or a soft style. A truck bed tonneau is more than an accessory— it increases gas mileage and provides security. If you aren't so concerned about covering the items in your truck bed, but want to protect the truck bed tonneau itself, then truck bed liners might be the best option for you.
