If you haul a lot of gear in the back of your truck, it’s time to get a Chevy Silverado tonneau cover. It protects your equipment from the elements, deters thieves, and just plain looks nice. What more reason do you need? Here are some of the best tonneau covers for your vehicle.
Folding Tonneau Covers
Folding covers are nice because they’re so easy to access. There’s no need to remove the entire cover to get something out of your truck. Instead, you fold part of the cover back. If you want access to the entire bed, simply roll the cover all the way up and attach the storage straps. If you’d like the convenience of a folding cover, there are a couple of great options.
- Rough Country Low Profile Hard Folding Tonneau Cover. This cover keeps a sleek, flush profile with your truck bed. The construction is a durable aircraft-grade aluminum that protects from all kinds of weather. You can lock it with the tailgate lock to deter theft.
- TonnoPro TonnoFold Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover. The hinged tri-fold construction of this cover allows for quick and easy adjustments for every ride. The aerodynamic design improves gas mileage due to the decreased wind resistance. It comes pre-assembled and takes 5 minutes to install.
Retractable Tonneau Covers
These covers are super-sleek and easy to use. Many truck owners consider a retractable cover to be the best tonneau cover due to its versatility. The covers slide smoothly along a rail and can be locked at any position to accommodate oversized loads.Â
Retrax RetraxONE MX Tonneau Cover is an excellent option in this category. It has the following features:
- Clamp-on installation
- Low-profile design and flush fit
- Supports up to 200 lbs on top of the cover
- Utilizes sealed ball bearings
- Secure weather seal
Tool Box Tonneau Covers
Regular tonneau covers won’t fit over an installed rail toolbox. Keep your tools safe from the elements and thieves with a tonneau cover designed especially for toolboxes. A winner in this category is the DiamondBack 270 Truck Bed Cover. Made of diamond plate aluminum panels, it can handle up to 400 lbs of gear stacked on top. The neoprene compression gasket redirects water away from your cargo. In addition you can add the following:
- Cross bins
- Side boxes
- Side bins for both driver and passenger sides
While you’re considering weather protection for your truck bed, get it for your floors as well by investing in quality floor mats. You can’t go wrong with WeatherTech. Visit your local store and ask for WeatherTech floor mats best price.Â
Hinged Tonneau Covers
For ease of access, it’s hard to beat a hinged cover. Just lift it up and you can grab anything. A top performer here is the UnderCover LUX Tonneau Cover. You’ll love the look and the added security provided by the over-the-tailgate design. This cover is even color matched to your truck’s paint job.
