You can keep the cover folded up in transit if you use a strap and a tie down to keep it secure. We are working on a “Fold-Up Leash” accessory that will pop into the L-track and hook onto the folded cover to keep it in place. This is included with every purchase of a Renegade Cover.

The Renegade is built to withstand tough weather climates.  With that said no tonneau cover is 100% waterproof (it’s not a submarine). The Renegade is extremely water-resistant. There are areas on your truck to consider to give the best chance of weather protection. 

  1. Tail Gate Gap. The first place that we recommend considering is the vertical gap from the tailgate into the bed.This has nothing to do with the bed cover.  Customers may experience water seeping in through this gap. Renegade recommends purchasing a window seal from their local hardware store or a tailgate seal online. 
  2. Bed Rail. Some bed rails are not flat and do not engage the seal. This allows water to enter the bed in very small amounts. Customers report that they can go through an automatic car wash with very minimal consequences. Renegade takes no responsibility for damaged equipment due to weather conditions.

Yes. We have both solutions in 1 product. For the cycling enthusiast check out the aero bars accessory.

No, The Renegade Cover does not fit with the Rambox. The Renegade Cover is built to the exact specifications of every truck bed. The change in bed size that comes with the Rambox makes it impossible to properly install the Renegade Cover.

The approximate weights for the covers are:

  • 5 ½’ bed cover 120 lbs
  • 6 ½’ bed cover 135 lbs
  • 8’  bed cover 165 lbs.

Yes, just unlatch all four latches as you fold the cover and lift it off the bed. No Drilling, and no tools required. It removes in seconds.  With the weight of the bed cover Renegade recommends two people to lift off the cover.

About 1-4 hours depending on your truck make and model. This includes the time to take it out of the box, watch the installation video, set the cover on the truck to position it, and place and tighten the wedge lock latch brackets. It’s best to install with 2 people.

Currently, we recognize that the lead time of our product is lengthy.

You will also receive a free installation of the Renegade Cover on your truck ($250 value). Our experienced technicians will get your cover to fit just right.
