What is Tonneau Cover?

Pickup covers can be soft, folding or hard. Roadster covers protect the cockpit when parked. Some can be locked. A tonneau cover can improve fuel economy slightly on some pickups.

How it works

The cover attaches with clips, rails or poppers around the opening.

Why it matters for your car

Let wet covers dry to avoid mould. Check the load rating before standing or placing items on a hard cover.
