Top 10 Tonneau Covers in 2023

Next year’s best tonneau covers are in, and if you’ve been putting off buying a tonneau cover, let us be the first to tell you that it’s time. Every year we review he highest rated and most trusted truck bed covers in the industry, keeping an eye out for new products and innovations. Before you get bogged down in your quest for the ultimate tonneau cover, consider our Top 10 Tonneau Covers in 2023.

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. Plus, it is said to be one of the easiest retractable covers to install! This is a Trident staple and, boasting a corkscrew-style flush mounted canister cover, it comes in at just over $1,079.

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.

Metal Truck Bed Cover

The Renegade Advantage

Imagine a summer afternoon, driving in your truck with the windows down, Van Halen blaring in the background. “When’s the last time you did something for the first time?” sings David Lee Roth. Well, enough daydreaming, let’s dive into the advantages of a metal truck bed cover.

With your new Renegade Cover in place, the answer is easy. You get to try new things all the time – whether paddle boarding, mountain biking, or snowmobiling. It’s easy to load up your gear and hit the road. 

Metal Truck Bed Covers

Whether you prefer Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, or Bon Jovi, there are plenty of metal bands to compliment your metal truck bed cover. However, it’s important to consider the quality of the aluminum used to build it. 

hard trifold truck cover

Metal truck bed covers are typically made from aluminum alloys, that is, a combination of aluminum with copper, manganese, and more. The most common types of aluminum alloys used in the automobile industry are magnesium and silicon. An alloy that adds zinc to the mix is going to be even stronger, and therefore is what the aerospace industry relies on.

Why Aluminum? 

With Renegade, you can shop with confidence, knowing that its Military-Grade aluminum isn’t shying away from the fight. In addition, with a weight-bearing capacity of 2,000 lbs, you’ll be ready for any load. 

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

Endurance is the name of the game, whether you’re talking about Mötley Crüe or a metal truck bed cover. Plus your aluminum hard tonneau cover will be paired with a bed liner sprayed diamond plating and factory-applied powder coating, ensuring your new truck bed cover will resist the threat of annoying scratches and more. 

In addition, at Renegade, we guarantee your new cover will be free of defects in material and workmanship – a perfect product, every time. 

Metalheads

“You’re living in the golden years,” at least according to Iron Maiden. Don’t waste time with a subpar metal truck bed cover. Order a Renegade Cover, knowing it will fit your truck’s make and model just right, and get back to enjoying Aerosmith, Judas Priest and Kiss.

After all, just like the metal music you love, your new metal truck bed cover has it all. While heavy metal drumming is known for the “trifecta of speed, power, and precision,” so too Renegade is easy to install, stronger than its counterparts, and precisely what you need. 

Though heavy metal fans might lean toward grungy jeans, but their black t-shirts, boots, and leather jackets will match Renegade’s sleek design. 

Best Metal Truck Bed Cover

Whether you like heavy metal, or prefer another kind of rock music, a Renegade tonneau cover is a key accessory for your truck. We haven’t asked them, but Motörhead, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple would probably agree. 

So get back to the adventures you love, and the metal music playing in the background. Order your Renegade Cover today.

Tri-fold Tonneau Cover

Protect your Truck, you Must!

You might think a truck bed cover isn’t a necessity, but the truth is this: you’re missing out. The possibilities are endless — both for under the truck bed cover, and on top of it, with a tri-fold tonneau cover.

If you’ve come over to the light side…realizing the importance of a high quality tonneau cover…your journey is not complete. Rather, it’s just beginning. 

Tri-fold Tonneau Cover

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, aluminum was just rocky lumps of ore buried in the Earth’s crust. But today, it makes up all kinds of handy things — even tri-fold tonneau covers! 

hard truck bed cover

When it comes to truck bed covers, a tri-fold tonneau cover stands out above the rest. Of course there are retractible, roll-up, and single panel covers out there, and those made of other materials like canvas, fiberglass, and plastic. 

But none compare to the Renegade Cover, designed by a brave alliance of engineers, designers, and truck enthusiasts. The Renegade Cover is designed to be sleek, water resistant, and it’s secure without needing any keys or locks. It’s ultra customizable so you can attach your favorite accessories right to the L-track.

It’s also heavy duty (made of military-grade aluminum) and has an unbelievably high weight-bearing capacity at 2,000 lbs. Plus, a tri-fold tonneau cover is super handy when it comes to accessing your truck bed. You can open up either end and reach in, without exposing your whole truck bed to the elements.

Hard Tonneau Cover

Though hard seltzers are being pulled from stores’ shelves in Utah, don’t fret. Hard tonneau covers are here to stay. No legislative bill can stand up to the strength, security, and style of the Renegade Cover. 

Considering Alternatives 

Perhaps you’re not ready to admit the truth. Maybe a soft tonneau cover will do! While vinyl, canvas, or another cloth material does provide a cheap option, it’s just that: cheap. These simply won’t be reliable products. But did you know the quality of hard tonneau covers vary too? 

From a meta perspective, you’ve got plastic, fiberglass, and aluminum. However, the first two don’t merit much attention, as one-piece or single-panel truck bed covers lack serious functionality. Don’t even get us started on load-bearing strength!

hard tonneau cover

In your search, you may find retractable or roll-up covers that feature aluminum. A low cost and solid product? Nope, it’s too good to be true. These covers have serious security flaws, plus they aren’t strong enough to carry any weight on top, limiting their usefulness.

Hard Tonneau Cover

So what now? Is it even possible to find this unicorn of a hard tonneau cover for your beloved truck? 

hard truck bed cover

Aluminum, folded, hard tonneau covers seem like the way to go, and this seems simple enough. But no two are the same. It’s important to ask the following: 

1. What’s the functionality of the panels? Do they fold over onto the others, or do they simple open at an angle to grant access? 

2. If they fold up, do they stay in place? Do they block the view out your back window? 

3. How does it look? Is it a low-profile cover or bulky? Is it smooth on top, so you could slide something onto it, or are there brackets in the way? 

4. What’s the weight-bearing capacity? Would it hold you if you needed to get up there? What about a snowmobile or overloading set-up? 

5. Is it secure? How does the lock work? What number of locking pins are there? 

6. What’s the installation process like? How can you be sure it will fit seamlessly on your truck? 

7. How well does it work with accessories? Will drilling be necessary? 

The questions go on and on. But, lucky for you, Renegade answers them all. 

Renegade is a tri-fold hard tonneau cover, that fold up fully to a height of 6 inches, which doesn’t block your back window. It’s low profile, at 1.5″ high and doesn’t have any protruding pieces of hardware. The Renegade Cover can hold up to 2,000 lbs on top and locks securely without any keys. No drill installation and no drilling to add accessories into the integrated L-track.

The Renegade Difference

With Renegade though, you’ll have a cover made of Military-Grade aluminum, built to withstand any challenge – manmade or a force of nature. This trifold hard tonneau cover has a weight-bearing capacity of 2,000 lbs, making you ready for any load.

This low-profile cover folds up efficiently, without blocking your rear view or taking up space in your truck bed. It only measures 6″ in height when folded. Plus, it’s as smooth as can be, ready to slide a piece of plywood or hold whatever’s loaded on top evenly.

It’s also simple to install (or remove) without a drill, while still being the most secure hard tonneau cover on the market! Renegade offers key accessories, as well as the functionality to work with your favorite racks. 

Got more questions? Bring them on. But, spoiler alert, Renegade is the best hard tonneau cover out there. What are you waiting for?

Most Secure Truck Bed Cover

The benefits of a truck bed cover are almost overwhelming. Not only do they look good, they contribute to improved gas mileage. If you select a high quality truck bed cover, it will protect your cargo from the elements and provide added functionality — like allowing you to transport items both underneath and on top of the cover. But perhaps the most important feature of all is security. To make sure you get the most secure truck bed cover, consider the following: 

Designed to be a Secure Bed Cover

The Renegade Cover provides enhanced security from the start, being constructed out of military-grade aluminum. Soft covers leave the contents of your truck vulnerable to the elements, as well as a passerby with a knife. 

hard trifold truck cover

But lower quality hard covers are also insufficient. After all, if they don’t have a sturdy seal, water will be let in. Plus they could crack under the sun’s rays or the pressure of anything placed on top. Renegade Covers have a durable P-seal to keep out water and other elements.

Most secure tuck bed cover

In terms of serious security, the biggest differentiator for Renegade Cover owners are the locking pins. For example, DiamondBack covers have a total of 4 locking pins across the entire truck bed. Renegade, on the other hand, keeps the cover secured to the truck bed with twice as many locking pins. With 8 pins, your new truck bed cover isn’t going to be pried open by even the strongest assailant.

Maximum Security and Function

Even a secure truck bed cover should be simple to open and close. Building on its unique, patented design, Renegade maximizes the security of its locked truck bed cover without compromising usability. 

The Renegade Cover is a tri-fold tonneau cover, allowing quick access without exposing the whole truck bed to the elements. Also, if you need to remove your Renegade Cover, you can do so quickly and without the use of tools.

Also, with Renegade, you have a keyless security mechanism. A lock and key leaves you vulnerable in more ways than one. But we believe you deserve security built into the hardware of your truck bed cover. You can trust your Renegade Tonneau Cover to be secure as soon as you close your tailgate. 

Most Secure Truck Bed Cover 

If you think you might be able to get away without a truck bed cover, think again. Protecting your belongings with a truck cover is a must to avoid theft, damage, and accidents. Finding the most secure cover can prevent serious concerns like crime, as well as frustrating inconveniences, like things falling out while driving.

Without a secure tonneau cover, your food, gear, and supplies will be vulnerable to the wrath of nature, greed of a passerby, and hunger of wild animals. Luckily, Renegade has built a robust locked truck bed cover to help you focus on what matters most, not wondering if your belongings are safe. 

Invest in Security Today 

Renegade offers a heavy-duty tonneau cover for your truck that takes security seriously. And if there’s one thing you want to prioritize, isn’t it security? 

Whether you’re around town with expensive tools in tow or headed camping with your favorite gear, peace of mind is invaluable. Order your Renegade Cover today, and get back to work – or your next adventure. 

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. 

Rengade Covers Trifold
An Aluminum trifold truck bed cover

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.
