Tonneau covers serve utilitarian as well as aesthetic purposes. Many people prefer the look of a tidy streamlined cover to that of an empty, open truck bed. Beyond aesthetic appeal, there are several practical reasons to incorporate a Tonneau cover into your truck’s exterior styling.
First of all, as anyone can tell you, open truck beds produce drag. Drag is the force that is fundamentally opposite from that of thrust, or the forward motion of a propelled object. The faster the driving speed, the more drag is produced. For this reason, people that regularly drive cross country at high speeds are throwing money out the window in terms of the extra money they’re spending on purchasing gasoline to run their vehicle if they do not do something to reduce the extreme amounts of drag that are produced by large open truck beds.
The rear-most lip of the truck bed is, naturally, the portion of the truck that creates the most drag. Also, smaller trucks and other sport utility vehicles may not have the same level of drag problem, but will benefit from using a Tonneau cover. Most people that drive full-sized pickup trucks notice a marked difference in gas mileage rates as well as driving performance on the highway.
In addition to aesthetics and aerodynamic factors, Tonneau covers also provide protection against theft. If would be thieves cannot see or easily access items stored in a truck bed, they will not be nearly as likely to attempt stealing them.
One of the biggest advantages of using a Tonneau Cover over other systems for enclosing the open bed area is that Tonneau Covers are generally much more affordable than other brands. They offer several styles and colors that will fit any truck owner’s budget.
The different systems offered by Tonneau Covers is the rail system, the low profile rail system and the hook & loop system. The most popular version is the traditional rail system Tonneau Cover. This design utilizes a perimeter of anodized aluminum framing that mounts quickly and easily without the use of any screws of adhesive. Also, a special key is provided for easy removel of the framed rail system.
The low profile Tonneau Cover design is comprised of the same pieces that the rail system is, except that the more traditional snap style heads are used instead of the hidden fasteners of the rail system.
The hook & loop Tonneau Cover system is quite different from the other two designs in that self-adhesive strips are placed around the top outer edge of the truck bed. These adhesive strips have a Velcro material on the exposed side, as does the underside of the cover.
All Tonneau Covers come with straps that are located at the front end of the truck bed. These are to easily secure the rolled up cover when large objects are too tall to have the Tonneau Cover placed over them. When the cover is not in use it can be rolled up and secured with no worry about the cover blowing away.
