Locking Hard Folding Tonneau Cover

It doesn’t take long to realize all the options out there for truck bed covers. But it also becomes clear pretty quickly that some features are wildly important, namely a locking hard folding tonneau cover. So which features are impossible to live without? Take a look. 

Locking Tonneau Cover

Security is a critical feature for adventures in your truck, and you deserve something better than a lock and key. Locks can be temperamental, especially as they age, and this creates an unnecessarily frustrating experience for the user. During the winter months, locks can easily get iced over, making your cover impossible to open. Plus, it’s so easy to lose the key – as well as the copy of the key that was in that random drawer.

The best tonneau cover out there is the one that has security built in. With Renegade, for example, the cover is opened via the inside of the cab. No keys or locks are needed; the cover is secure as soon as you close your tailgate.

Hard Tonneau Cover

Soft tonneau covers, made of vinyl, canvas, or another cloth material, is a cheaper way to go – in terms of expense and performance. But hard covers vary too. Here, you’re faced with the decision between plastic, fiberglass, and aluminum.

Aluminum is the clear winner, as a material that is both lightweight and strong. However, it’s important to note not all aluminum is made the same, and some may even let you down. With Renegade though, you’ll have a cover made of Military-Grade aluminum, built to withstand any challenge – manmade or a force of nature. 

Folding Tonneau Cover

In your research, you’ve seen retractible, roll-up, and single panel covers. Some materials will determine their function; plastic and fiberglass covers, for example, are single panel. Folding tonneau covers are sometimes 2, 3, or 4 panels, and differ in functionality. 

It is important to consider the user experience when you have the cover closed, but also when it’s open. After all, if your folded-up tonneau cover blocks your view out the back window, that’s a safety issue in more ways than one. As opposed to single panel covers, folding tonneau covers offer the advantage of being able to open up part of the cover, without exposing the whole truck bed to the elements. 

The Renegade cover is a tri-fold tonneau cover that is designed with you in mind; it’s easy to handle, has a slim-profile, and is incredibly strong.
