There is no doubt about the importance of tonneau covers in modern and older pickup trucks. They grant protection to cargo against weather and harmful elements and secure it from the prying hands of burglars. And considering that nowadays drivers seek any chance to reduce fuel consumption, a tonneau cover can also serve as an airflow enhancement that positively changes aerodynamics. This, in turn, means a modest reduction in fuel consumption.
But one thing is understanding the importance of a tonneau cover, and quite another is choosing the right product among the wide variety that exists on the market today. Although there are many decent tonneau cover manufacturers, today we’d like to focus on one company that exceeds all expectations.
