The Top 10 Tonneau Covers in 2021

Unfortunately, the biggest strength of our trucks can also be their biggest weaknesses. That big open truck bed is great for hauling your gear, but by the same token, your stuff is left wide open and exposed to the weather, prying eyes, and sticky fingers. Luckily you have options! A good truck bed cover can give the best of both worlds.

Top Tonneau Options for 2021

If there’s one thing you’ll notice when it comes to shopping tonneau covers, it’s that you’re completely spoiled for choice. This is a great problem to have on one hand, but can also lead to a condition I like to call Options Paralysis. Don’t worry, it’s a curable disease!
