Once you’ve invested in a truck, you want to do everything you can to keep it looking and running great! All of us here at Staten Island CDJR have found that investing in a truck bed cover can help you with both! Read on to learn more about covers and find out if adding one to your truck makes sense for you. There are several different types of covers, but we’re focusing on tonneau covers. These are retractable bed covers that you can use as needed! They’ll protect your truck bed and anything you might be hauling.
One of the main benefits of truck bed covers is protection from the weather. While not all truck bed covers are completely waterproof, they are water resistant. So, if you’re driving around with anything that cannot get wet at all from rain, be sure to put it inside a waterproof case or bag first. The cover will stop your belongings from getting soaked as well as prevent any water damage to your truck bed from water sitting for an extended period of time.
Believe it or not, truck bed covers can help you save on gas! They create a smooth surface that helps to reduce drag and wind resistance. When used regularly and correctly, bed covers can save you up to 12% on fuel costs! Tonneau covers also help to prevent theft. They can be locked so that you can secure your belongings anytime no matter where you’re parked. Some of them even have a keyless entry!
While they aren’t difficult to install if you have the tools, time, and skills, they are even easier to have installed by a professional. This will help to guarantee that it is secure and will work correctly, especially if you decide to go with a cover that will retract via power. Having your truck bed installed will also guarantee you some sort of warranty should any issues arise in the future. The versatility of power vs manual retraction and material type ensures that there is a truck bed cover ideal for every truck owner out there!
