Look Out For Pickup Bed Covers That Don't Duplicate Your Needs
Looking for lower price covers puts you quickly in the soft cover lines. That probably is why a manufacturer like Excel is a leading supplier, their covers are mostly soft covers and mostly very moderate in price. Even the higher cost soft covers cost just a fraction of what the better hard tonneau models cost and yet still offer protection for truck beds and what's in them. And also the look is not much different between some of the soft covers and some hard lids. Then there's the tilt hard cover race truck look that you could choose. Check out Gaylord and Undercover here... One company offers a fiberglass version and the other a plastic with about the same look but much lighter coming in at just 68 pounds for the full size version. Tilt forward lids turn truck beds to lock boxes but with restrictions on the height of cargo. Too tall and the cover will not close... A tri-fold cover offers several advantages as a compromise between much more expensive covers and the least costly options. Realize that tilting covers, either as plastic or fiberglass, limit the height of cargo that can fit under the closed lid. That can be a real nuisance. On the other hand, the folder covers move out of the way easily to fit taller cargo in place of any height or size. That makes for a very secure and useful cover at a price much less than a retractable cover for example and not far more than a soft cover... Selecting a single tonneau cover for your pickup is hard partly because there are just so many to pick from. Narrowing down the choices to just a few can be done quite quickly if price is an option. Let's face it, the most costly covers offer lots of features and benefits but at a steep entry fee. On the other hand, some of the least costly tonneaus can be had for just a little and will add value to a truck maybe beyond what you pay. It partly just depends on what you need and what you want and what is the price you choose to deal with. Soft covers offer as their main advantage a lower cost. That does not at all mean that the lower price covers are not the right choice. Also soft covers are easy to install, adaptable to taller cargo and easy to use because of the full bed access they provide. On the other hand the hard pickup bed covers offer greater security and a quite different look and all at, in some cases, not a whole lot more cost.
