10. Trident FastTrack Tonneau Cover

If you’re looking for a retractable cover, the Trident FastTrack might be the way to go. It’s made of lightweight, yet fairly strong aluminum.

9. Undercover Elite One-Piece Tonneau Cover

A hinged, fiberglass tonneau cover is another option for your truck bed, especially if you consider the Undercover EliteTonneau. This cover includes cargo retriever, removable LED light, and it’s own handle — with an integrated lock. Starting at $1,249, this truck bed cover can handle 500 pounds of evenly distributed weight, while only weighing about 70 pounds.

8. Retrax IX Tonneau Cover

This rolling truck bed cover was previously only available in Canada, but starting in January, RealTruck (which used to be called Truck Hero) is bringing it to the USA. Rather than a vinyl rolling cover, this Retrax model is aluminum and boasts no-drill installation, thanks to bolt-on clamps. It’s pretty great that it features a quick-release handle and multiple locking positions. This model starts at $1099. ()

7. Leer Retractable Tonneau Covers

Leer features electric retractable tonneau covers that feature flush mounting and sometimes even rails. While they utilize various materials, including aluminum, they lack any significant weight-bearing capacity. The big goal here is to have a slick electric operation, and perhaps this is just in contrast Leer’s many other options, like truck caps. Leer’s retractable covers start as low as $1,340.

6. Peragon Truck Bed Cover

Rather than utilizing a canister, this retractable tonneau cover hides in the last 6 inches of the truck bed. Plus, it can be quickly removed if you need to load something big into your truck bed. The central location of Peragon’s Wisconsin manufacturing facility is crucial for their ability to offer free shipping. This lockable (with a key) cover starts at $999.

5. TonnoPro TonnoFold Tonneau Cover

A soft tri-folding cover is another way to go if you’re looking for a cheaper option and only anticipate light rain or snow. With vinyl on top and a frame underneath, it is designed to stay in place so will need to be removed if you want to haul something big in your truck. Starting at $269, TonnoPro is offering a unique product to the industry.

4. BakFlip F1 Tonneau Cover

Unlike many alternatives, this BakFlip model is made of composite material. With a 400 lb. weight bearing capacity, this is a hard, tri-fold tonneau cover that sits flush on your truck. This model has a great water drainage system, but will block the rearview mirror when open. The BakFlip F1 starts at $1,049.

3. TruXedo TruXport

TruXedo provides this roll-up tonneau cover that features a top mount design, leather fabric, and pre-set tension control. This economical design lacks many features, but it starts at just $299. Note that water is meant to pool on this cover, but it won’t fade in the sun.

2. BrandFX CTC Tonneau Cover

Taking things in another direction, BrandFX creates tonneau covers from steel, focused on the needs of contractors and service professionals. Formerly known as GEMTOP, BrandFX designs tonneau covers with aluminum framed lift doors that open the full length of your truck bed, on either side. How much do they cost and how can you get one? That’s anybody’s guess.

1. Renegade Cover

It’s no secret that we’re partial to the Renegade Cover. But it’s also simply the best tonneau cover out there. This is the strongest tonneau cover in the industry (boasting a load capacity of 2,000 lbs) thanks to its military-grade aluminum construction.

With a tri-fold design and a variety of accessories that will outfit you for any adventure or task, the Renegade tonneau cover is weather-tight and super secure against unwanted entry. It’s the truck for contractors, adventurers, and the man around town. Prices start at $2,395, which isn’t cheap, but this is a one-time investment that will serve all of your current or future goals.
