Aluminum Hard Tonneau Cover

So you’re going to buy a truck bed cover? Congrats! As you weed out the knock-offs and weigh the importance of a long-lasting solution, you’ll probably decide on an aluminum hard tonneau cover. If only that were the end of your search! Unfortunately, there’s so much more to consider.

What’s the Big Deal?

When you hear aluminum, you might think of soda cans, window frames, or airplane parts. In each of these scenarios, aluminum is lightweight and strong. However, there’s still a big difference between a can you can crush with your bare hands and an airplane that withstands -70 degree weather.

Just like aluminum is used in a wide variety of ways, so too do aluminum hard tonneau covers vary. Unfortunately, some aluminum covers are sure to let you down if their quality isn’t top notch. Pure aluminum, for example, might sound great, but this material lacks a great deal of strength, focusing instead on malleability.

In terms of truck bed covers, you’ll most likely find aluminum alloys. These are made by melding aluminum with copper, manganese, and more. The most common types of aluminum alloys used in the automobile industry are magnesium and silicon. However, an alloy that adds zinc to the mix is going to be even stronger, and therefore is what the aerospace industry relies on.

However, you won’t be sacrificing flexibility for all that strength. Rather, with Renegade, you find the perfect combination: a high-quality aluminum hard truck bed cover that will withstand whatever challenges it faces, while being incredibly user friendly.

Then there’s the fact that aluminum is a recyclable material, making it a much more responsible purchase than its counterparts. When your truck days are over, years and years from now, the aluminum in your hard tonneau cover will still stand strong, ready to be recycled again and again, poised for the next fight.

That’s a truck bed cover you can rely on. That’s Renegade.

Tonneau Cover that can Handle a Snow Load

Whether you’re headed for a mountain adventure in the Uintas or Sierras, or just live in a brutally cold climate, you have to consider the toll of snow load on your truck bed cover.

Endure the Extreme

It’s not just important to keep your tanks and tires full, you’ve got to stay on top of your battery and wipers. Then there’s winter tires and ensuring the salt doesn’t erode your truck and everything else you own.

Once winter is here, you’ll really have your work cut out for you. They say as a general rule, snow weighs about 20 pounds per cubic foot, Shoveling your driveway is no small feat. But if your truck bed is full of snow too? That could put you over the edge — mentally and physically.

Brave the Cold

Truck owners debate the best approach to big snowy loads. Some welcome the extra weight in the back of the truck, excited for the extra traction. But that means they won’t be hauling anything else all winter.

Others insist on a hardtop or soft shell, but face the trouble of tiny, or large cracks, that let a surprising amount of water in.

Unfortunately, just like the roof of your house, your truck bed cover may not be designed to withstand very much snow. If one foot becomes two before the first one melts, you’ll be in for 40 pounds of weight, per square foot.

When thinking about an F-150, for example, you’ve got a truck that comes standard with a 6’7” by 6’7” bed. At nearly 44 cubic feet, just one foot of snow could mean 880 pounds of wear and tear on your truck bed cover. If that second foot of snow comes, this jumps to 1,760 pounds.

Can your current truck bed cover hold that kind of snow load? Don’t wait till it snows to find out. And by the way, did you know an inch of ice weighs the same as an entire foot of snow?

A Cover That Can Handle a Snow Load

Renegade’s tonneau cover is built to carry a distributed load of up to 2,000 pounds. So if you’re preparing for wintery adventures, or the daily challenges that will take your competition down, make sure Renegade is on your team. Be ready to take on the cold.

And don’t forget the survival kit! With a tonneau cover that can handle a snow load your truck may be ready…but you’re only human.
