Perfect Truck Roadtrip

Planning the Perfect Truck Roadtrip 

Wouldn’t it be great to clock out on Friday, jump in your truck, and just hit the road? Whether you prefer a spur of the moment adventure, or the anticipation of planning a getaway, there’s a lot to keep in mind. If you keep the essentials packed in your truck (link to previous blog of what to keep in your truck), you’ll be a step ahead. But if you heart is set on the perfect truck roadtrip, consider the following.

Packing the Roadtrip Basics 

It may seem obvious to mention packing a credit card, driver’s license, registration, insurance, and park pass, but let this be your reminder to make sure they’re up to date. Can’t hurt to double check that your phone cord is still there (and working) too. 

Plus, anytime you leave home, it’s a pretty good idea to bring the 10 Essentials. But with those basics accounted for, you’ll need to decide what type of truck roadtrip makes you salivate.

Do you want to bring a set of kayaks and relax on the lake or check out a remote mountain bike trail? Maybe you can sneak in a first ascent, or find a hike so remote your email inbox will never find you.

The Perfect Truck Prepared for Anything

The more adventurous you are, the more you’ll need to prepare. With a Renegade Cover, you’re off to a strong start. This will allow you to secure anything you want under the cover, as well as on top of it. But have you considered overlanding with the help of Renegade Racks? It might just change your life.

Whether you’re the type to snag a a free campsite or prefer the luxury of a hotel, it may be wise to bring your camping gear. Reservations get lost and places get overbooked. But with a Renegade Cover, you have plenty of room to bring anything and everything you might need. 

So throw in your clothes, toiletries, and favorite pillow. Pack toilet paper and a trowel. Bring your favorite foods in your new Costco cooler. It will all be safe under your Renegade Cover, whether the threat is man, animal, or nature. 

Renegade to the Roadtrip Rescue 

If you really want to be prepared, it may be time to add a Riptide pressurized water system to your setup. After all, having water around is never a bad idea; it’s the first step to a solar-powered shower, spraying off muddy boots, and cooking ramen noodles. 

With the strongest and most versatile truck bed cover on the market, your roadtrip is going to be history in the making. So download some good music and podcasts, throw in a deck of cards, and hit the road.

Utah’s Tonneau Covers

Utah isn’t just an adventure mecca, it’s home to Renegade Covers. After all, how are you going to enjoy Utah to its fullest without a heavy-duty truck bed cover?

In Utah, tonneau covers are the way to go, but the options can be overwhelming. At Renegade, we keep it simple for you; rather than overloading you with options, we’ve done the hard work of figuring out what’s best, adding all the right features to our tonneau cover. 

And we do it right here in Utah – that is, when we aren’t doing “research” through our own adventures.

Overlanding in Moab

Heading to the Promised Land

As it warms up, it’s time for cool nights overlanding in rural Utah. If you’re wondering where to start, you can’t go wrong overloading in Moab. 

Overlanding in Moab

Moab’s red walls and desert landscape are sure to mimic your wildest dreams. Whether you’re most excited to check out Arches National Park or Canyonlands National Park, don’t forget about the options off the beaten path.

Let’s be honest, Utah’s state parks are more magnificent than some other states’ national parks. If you’re interested in hiking, mountain biking, or rock climbing, Moab is the perfect starting point for your adventure. 

Southern Utah Overlanding

Get your truck ready for the overloading adventure of a lifetime. By starting with a low-profile tonneau cover, and adding racks, your shelter will be up in no time. This leaves your truck bed for everything else you’ll need — water, food, gear, emergency supplies, and camp equipment.

The best overloading setup is going to be the one ready to take on the desert’s unpredictable weather. At the most fundamental level, your tonneau cover needs to be strong — not just in terms of security, though that’s important too. Your expensive gear needs to be safe if you head out for the day. But your truck bed cover also needs to be extremely capable. How much weight can it bear? Is it built to last? 

Accessories for Overlanding in Moab 

As you plan your trip for overloading in Moab, Renegade Covers has your back. Committed to your off-road adventure, we want you to focus on the fun ahead, not worrying about your setup. In addition to being the strongest truck bed cover in the industry (able to hold 2,000 pounds!), Renegade Covers have weather-tight covers and highly modular accessories for your overlanding needs.

Common accessories for an overlanding setup are the Renegade Racks, T-Slot Frame Rails, and the Riptide pressurized water system. But there’s no shortage possibilities when using a Renegade Cover for your next overlanding adventure.

The Renegade Advantage

Stop dreaming and start building your overland rig today with Renegade Covers. The 1.8 million acres of public lands around Moab are waiting for you.

Overlanding is an Undertaking

Whether you’ve got a hardshell rooftop tent like the Roofnest Condor XL, or are starting out with the Smittybilt Overlander, your truck bed set up is the first step to a good night’s rest. 

IOverlander and Your Rooftop Tent Too 

If you have a rooftop tent, you get to avoid the rigamarole of staking out and assembling your tent once you arrive. Just pop up or fold out your off-road truck tent and get those Z’s. 

overlanding racks for truck

These designs range from affordable softshells to top-of-the-line hardshell and overlanding models. But the basis is, of course, your truck. The top of the bed is the perfect base to build a rig! But there are two key accessories you’ll need: a tonneau cover and racks. 

Your Mt. Hood by Cascadia Vehicle Tents, iKamper Skycap 3.0, or 23ZERO Walkabout 56 is sure to be content on top of a Renegade Cover and Renegade Racks.

Or maybe you have your sights set on a AutoHome Maggiolina AirLand Plus. Whatever set-up is right for you, we have the right base. 

Rooftop Tent on Truck Bed 

A new or seasoned overlander knows the most important truck accessory is the base for your shelter: a durable, low-profile tonneau cover. Not just any truck bed cover will do, if for no other reason than that most don’t have a very high weight-bearing capacity. But with a Renegade Cover, which can hold up to 2,000lbs, you can sleep securely. 

Plus, it’s important to make sure your belongings are safe underneath the cover. After all, with your roof-top tent in place, your truck bed is freed up for other necessities: water, food, equipment, and other essential gear.

Make sure your new truck bed cover meets your high standards of security. This not only means that it’s secure against intruders, but that it’s protected against water, snow, dust, and mud. Don’t let your trip be ruined by unexpected weather, or a greedy passerby. Invest in Renegade, and we’ll protect you.

Jeep Gladiator with Racks

You bit the bullet and bought a Jeep Gladiator because you want more from life than the daily commute. But your setup isn’t complete without the right tonneau cover and racks. A Jeep Gladiator with racks can be the perfect overlanding setup.

Truck Bed Cover for Jeep Gladiator

Why Choose Jeep? 

Not only is the Jeep Gladiator the only American pickup truck available with a manual transmission, it has excellent traction and suspension. Boasting over 11 inches of ground clearance, you can trek over rocks, through sand, and even ford water.

Even though this is the first truck Jeep has offered since the early 90’s, the company has been busy developing highly capable vehicles for off-roading. But as a truck, you also get great cargo space and a powerful diesel engine.

Souped-Up Jeep Gladiator with Racks

Another perk to owning a Jeep is modifying it to fit your lifestyle. The Jeep Gladiator is the only convertible truck on the market, with a removable roof and doors to completely customize your experience. Unless you prefer a stock Jeep, you’ll also have fun with aftermarket accessories and parts.

Truck Bed Cover for Jeep Gladiator

Pairing your Jeep Gladiator with Renegade’s Tonneau Cover is a no-brainer. With the ability to haul a payload of up to 1,700 in its truck bed, you really can’t afford a less capable truck bed cover. After all, all Renegade truck bed covers boast a weight-bearing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds. Plus, when it comes to your everyday routine, a Renegade Cover allows you to transport tools, gear, or groceries from Costco underneath the truck bed cover. 

When you add racks to your Jeep set-up, you are just one step away to adventure. Throw on whatever accessory you need to transport your skis, kayak, or bike, and you’ll be on the road in no time.

The Jeep Wave

With Renegade, the “Jeep wave” will turn into a double-take, as fellow Jeep owners will want what you’ve got. After all, you’ve got the right truck bed cover – you know, the one with maximum security and function. It not only coordinates with racks, it’s somehow both heavy-duty and low profile.

Your armored Jeep Gladiator can take a beating, but it needs help protecting your cargo. What’s the point of getting to extreme locations if your gear or supplies is ruined while you’re bogging? You won’t regret adding a Renegade Cover and Renegade Racks to your Jeep Gladiator.

Join the Jeep Community

Whether you’ve got a Jeep Gladiator, or another mid-size truck, Renegade’s tonneau truck bed covers are made to fit most models.

Renegade keeps it simple for you, so you can get back to doing what you love. Go Anywhere. Do Anything. Renegade’s got you covered.

There’s a lot to consider when it comes to choosing the right truck bed cover. You want maximum security, but also maximum function. That means the ability to coordinate with racks while staying low profile. It also means finding a truck bed cover that’s heavy duty and has a high weight-bearing capacity.

Renegade keeps it simple for you, so you can get back to doing what you love. Go Anywhere. Do Anything. Renegade’s got you covered. 

Tonneau Cover for Toyota Tacoma

One of the great things about your Toyota Tacoma is that it can be your daily vehicle, but also take you to a more extreme adventure. In any case, a tonneau cover is going to take your truck to the next level…especially if it’s from Renegade. 

This Year’s Best Trucks

Choosing the right mid-size truck for your lifestyle is no small feat. Plus, with new trucks coming out each year, along with a host of rankings – it’s impossible to know what’s best.

Perhaps the Toyota Tacoma is the right mid-size truck for you because of its smooth ride, off-road capacity, and decent fuel economy. But what Toyota is really known for is its unmatched track record. 

Especially when you pair your Toyota Tacoma with a Tonneau Cover, you’ll have a truck that will go hundreds of thousands of miles – and have a relatively low cost to maintain over time.

Outfitting your Mid Size Truck

Whether you’ve got a Toyota Tacoma, GMC Canyon, Chevy Colorado, and Jeep Gladiator, Renegade makes a mid sized cover to fit your truck.

Or…it’s not going to protect it, you’ll be left with a muddy mess — or ruined gear or supplies. That’s definitely not what you want as you head to the job site or for a weekend of overlanding. Instead, you want a tonneau cover for your Toyota Tacoma that you can rely on. 

Tonneau Cover Features

There’s a lot to consider when it comes to choosing the right truck bed cover. You want maximum security, but also maximum function. That means the ability to coordinate with racks while staying low profile. It also means finding a truck bed cover that’s heavy duty and has a high weight-bearing capacity.

But none of that really matters if it doesn’t fit on your truck well. There’s nothing worse than getting your new truck cover off Amazon or Facebook Marketplace, then realizing it won’t fit.

If you’re switching gears and getting a full-size truck, no stress, Renegade has a tonneau cover for you too. Get your Renegade Cover and start adventuring elevated.

Low Profile Truck Bed Rack with Tonneau Cover

Whatever adventure you’re gearing up for, a truck bed rack with tonneau cover is likely to make it more convenient. But figuring out the right accessories for your truck can be a bear. 

Selecting the Right Rack for You

Your truck bed rack shouldn’t just be low profile, but sleek. If the look you love is going to last, it also has to be made with high quality materials and have a protective finish. Choosing a truck bed rack doesn’t just come down to aesthetics though, you want a truck bed rack that serves you well functionally.

To begin with, it needs to work with your tonneau cover and be simple to install. Then you have to consider the ease of removing it when necessary; after all, there are those annoying trips to the dump or to pick up gravel, wood, or a new couch.

The rubber hits the road, though, when it comes to how it handles your cargo. When you have your 4-wheeler loaded up, you don’t want to feel anything less than confident. But finding a low profile truck bed rack that is also durable is no easy feat.

Rather than spending your time messing with the best way to transport your stuff, let Renegade do the work for you. Mounting most any kind of truck bed accessory to the L-Track system on Renegade’s Tonneau Cover is easy. But, to make things super simple for you, Renegade offers two options for low profile truck bed racks. 

Stealthy Renegade Racks

Renegade offers a versatile, high quality rack system perfect for overlanding, construction, power sports, hunting, camping, and more.

We could brag on it all day, after all, it’s the most durable rack system in the industry, holding up to 1,600 pounds! But more to the point, this rack system is also super light, just 30-33lbs depending on the model.

Simply Perfect Aero Bars

On the other hand, if your interests are a bit more narrow, Renegade’s Aero Bars might be right for you. If you reach for your mountain bike any time you can, they will be perfect.

Modeled after high-end bike racks that are sold for car rooftops, your existing accessories will probably fit Renegade’s universal Aero Bars. Easily attach your bike rack and bike, and you’ll be ready to head out for the next great adventure. 

Take your Tonneau Cover to the Next Level

Whether it’s time to load up your surfboard or your skis, adding a low profile truck bed rack to your tonneau cover is the way to go. In fact, it will become such a key part of your setup, you’ll forget what it was like before you upgraded.
