If you want to protect your Tacoma’s cargo with a full Tonneau cover, you have several options to consider. Check out the different types to consider when picking one out.
Appearance
Most Tonneau covers for trucks are black, but some come in as many colors as the Tacoma itself, so you can choose one that perfectly matches your model. There are also diamondback covers with a pure metallic look. Even among regular black Tonneau covers you’ll find options that are more matte or glossy or have subtle textures.
Roll or Flip
Some tonneau covers are soft and are designed to roll up from the back in order to open. Others are hard and broken into segments you can flip upward in the back or front. Soft covers commonly use velcro, while hard covers use a series of hinges to flip back portions of the material. The number of combinations is staggering, so take your time when shopping, and don’t settle on the first thing you see.
Electric or Manual
Most people opt for a manual Tonneau cover that they open or close by hand. There are options, however, that use some sort of remote control to gradually retract or replace the cover, like a horizontal garage door. The nice thing about electric covers is that they’re usually independent of the tailgate, meaning you don’t have to open or unlock it to open or close the cover.
There are a lot of choices when it comes to weather-resistant full bed covers. If you have questions about your options and would like some help, don’t hesitate to contact us.
