Retractable Truck Bed Covers -- 3 Ways Better

Retractable truck bed covers do several things better than most other types of truck bed covers.  Some of what you get with these tonneau covers is really just a luxury.  Some of what you get is a real plus and more than just handy.  Especially the security part.  You pay for the extras, but here's why it may be worth it...

1.  The Construction

If you want a cover that's like a vault, this may be the best choice.  That's because you get a metal cover that's all but impossible to get in... without the key.  An aluminum retractable top is just about as secure as you can get.  Now a tilting fiberglass tonneau or a plastic lid is secure too.  But there are some real drawbacks to the one piece tilting covers.  Read on...

2. The Convenience.

See, a retractable cover just slides right out of the way so you get full bed access.  Tall loads are no problem at all.  Not so with a tilting cover.  Let's face it, even a push lawn mower in the back will keep a tilt bed cover from closing.  Not a good thing.  The retractable cover is very convenient to use and lets you fully use your pickup for serious hauling.  Also, with an electric model, opening and closing the lid is as easy as pushing a button.  Then there's...

3. The Look.

You talk about slick.  Can't beat the look of a retracting cover.  That's because it's low profile and flush mount so it's as good looking as the one piece lids that tilt, maybe better.  Most of these covers are coated aluminum so the look blends right with the look of your truck.  The cover stores in a cannister at the front of the bed when it's retracted.  Out of the way and out of sight...

Retractable truck bed covers are secure covers for any cargo.  That security comes in a slick looking package too that's easy to use.  Plus, unlike some covers, you can still haul any size cargo and the cover won't get in the way.
