Hinged Tonneau Covers for the Toyota Tundra

Hinged tonneaus are the most weather-tight and secure type of cover there is for your truck. Most are made of fiberglass, ABS plastic or aluminum. It’s not that good for hauling large cargoes though. So if you’re planning to get a hinged tonneau for your truck, you better check this review and be adviced!

Gaylord’s TL Series Tonneau Cover

Gaylord’s TL Series Tonneau cover is smooth in every aspect: from the installation,(which is not much of an effort – no tools or drilling is required) to its operation (as straightforward as using your truck’s doors) to its sleek design and appearance. It is custom-made to fit your truck’s year, make and model. It also has a sturdy resin-filled honeycomb fiberglass with a smooth grey underside finish. Its EZ Lift Hinge Assist System opens the cover with ease while the color-matched rotary lock with a color-matched lock cover secures your truck’s cargo from prying eyes.

Undercover Tonneau Cover

Unlike other hard tonneaus, the Undercover Tonneau Cover is made from advanced ABS polymers, making it lighter, stronger and more cost-effective. Plus, the black ABS is specially designed to resist scratching.

The Undercover hard tonneau installs in about 30 minutes with no drilling or measuring. Quick-release hardware means it goes on or comes off in seconds. Once off, the Undercover Tonneau Cover can be hung up and out of the way with the included wall-mount hardware. And with its multi-point seal, custom fit and dual stainless steel locks, the elements and would-be-thieves are kept outside and away from your cargo.

Crafted from advanced ABS polymers, the Undercover SE Tonneau Cover is one of the lightest, strongest and most versatile hard tonneau covers on the market. The jet black ABS is also molded with stylish ribs and a curved spoiler for look not seen on any tonneau.

An optional smooth trimless edge also is available. With its lustrous paint finish and unique no-drill hinge system, the Gaylord’s X2000 Tonneau Cover is a true achievement in functionality and design. For an even more customized look, upgrade with the eye-catching SpeedSturr Wing.

Best Review For The Undercover Tonneau Cover

datePosted on 00:02, October 1st, 2008 by Brian Fuller

If you are searching for a good truck bed cover for your truck then you read the best review for the Undercover Tonneau Cover. The main advantage of this tonneau is that it gives enough protection in all climatic condition. They are also very strong . Undercover tonneau has got less weight when compared to the heavy fiber glass tonneau. It is built using the newly designed advanced polymers. This is what gives its strength and ensures durability.

As it is made of polymer, it is lightweight and is easy to put on or take off. But in the case of fiber glass covers it is not that easy. It does not require any drilling to install, it is provided with a clamp on design. So the stress and strain in measuring and drilling can be avoided. The installation procedure is very simple and can be done by 30 minutes. Hydraulically actuated struts are provided with the undercover tonneau to make the closing and opening of the truck bed cover easier. It is also provided with dual stainless steel locks for more safety.

The undercover tonneau is superior to fiber glass tonneau covers in the cost aspect as well. It cost much less when compared to expensive fiber glass tonneau covers. The cover is scratch resistant which is always a plus. The weight of an Undercover tonneau is around 58lbs. So it is possible for a person by themselves to remove the cover if need be. In the case of a tonneau cover made of fiber glass, a person will require help to get the truck bed cover off their truck.

It will definitely give an added good look to your truck. Reduced weight of the tonneau cover also helps to save some fuel as the load to be pulled by the truck is less than a fiber glass lid.

It is possible to paint the cover but there can be slight difference in the color of the truck and that of the cover. Usually people used to paint the tonneau cover to make them match the truck’s color. If they use solid paints then there won’t be any color difference. If they use metallic paints there will be small color difference. It would be better to use the service of a professional paint shop to do the painting so that the difference can be minimised if the paint selected is a metallic one.

In the case you have already installed a bed liner then you will have to make some changes in the liner during installation and it depends on the truck’s make. It will take some time. The company also provides a 3 year warranty for workmanship and materials. For the hardware and struts the warranty period is 1 year. For a customer, there are 50 models to choose from. So, one will definitely find a cover which suits his truck perfectly.

I hope the best review for the undercover tonneau cover has helped you decide if the truck bed cover is right for your truck. You can get more information on this cover by clicking this link Undercover Tonneau Cover

Undercover Tonneau Cover Review

datePosted on 00:00, July 26th, 2008 by Brian Fuller

   Would you buy an Undercover tonneau cover after a review like this? This truck bed cover is custom-made to fit your make, model and year of your vehicle. This particular hard lid is a low profile, weather tight tonneau. You would class it as a hard bed cover, but being constructed of ABS keeps it light weight and easy to handle.

   It has quick release hardware to enable you to put it on or take off quickly. The cover is constructed to prevent warping in direct sunlight. It can be painted but because of the texture there may be a slight difference in the color of your truck if your using a metallic paint. It seems a solid color paint is fine. It comes at a very descent price as far as hard covers go. It is much cheaper than the fibreglass lids.

   You may be able add accessories to the undercover tonneau cover but you best consult the factory to avoid losing your warranty. It is backed by a limited 3-year warranty.

   There is no need for drilling to install it. It is easy to install. If you have a bed liner you may have to trim down the sides to accommodate the truck cover. They say you can install it in 15 minutes but in my opinion that would only happen if you had done it before. I would say any where between 25 minutes to one hour depending how much of a knack you have of doing this type of thing. Even at one hour, I think would be pretty good for something your going to get great use out of.

   I mean it will keep your cargo dry and out of sight of people who like to take things that don’t belong to them. It will also add to the look of your pickup truck.

   To help you protect your cargo the undercover tonneau cover comes with two stainless steel locks. It comes with wall mount hardware so you can hang the cover up and out of the way in your garage. This is a very convenient accessory that undercover offers. The cover opens easily with the aid of two struts one on either side of the cover.

   Out of all the reviews I’ve read on tonneaus, the undercover tonneau cover seems to have the least negative items. It seems most people are very, very satisfied with this truck bed cover and how great it is at keeping the rain off their cargo.

   In my opinion, if your looking for a hard tonneau cover that looks great , is very strong, easy to install and worth every cent you paid for it. Look no further. No cover is absolutely rain proof but this cover is as close as you can get. I searched for bad reviews on this tonneau cover but I couldn’t find anything that was worth mentioning. Most covers people buy they may love them but they still find minor defaults they mention, but as weird as it seems this cover seems to pass all tests.

   This undercover tonneau cover review was meant to help you evaluate and come to a decision if this hard truck bed cover is right for you. You can see this cover and get more information as well as prices for your particular truck at Undercover Tonneau Cover.

Advantages Of The Undercover Tonneau Cover

datePosted on 00:00, June 27th, 2008 by Brian Fuller

When first hearing about the undercover tonneau cover you may think it belongs in special police or FBI unit. Actually it is a hard hinged truck bed cover made from ABS polymers.  There are advantages of the Undercover Tonneau Cover that make this lid different from other hard truck covers. It comes in black but if you want to match it with your truck color you can paint it. The ABS polymers keeps the weight way lower than the much heavier fibreglass covers. This adds to you saving on fuel. The less weight you have the easier your engine has to work, the less fuel it will burn.

Another advantage this tonneau or any other tonneau is by saving fuel consumption through aerodynamics. Wind glides over the truck bed cover with less resistance rather than hitting your tailgate and causing a strain, especially during higher speeds caused from highway driving.

The cost of this truck bed cover is much lower than fibreglass lids as well. It is very tough because of its special design. It will withstand a tremendous amount of weight and is impact resistant unlike fibreglass covers. As an example, what do you think would happen to the abs plastic when given a light blow of a hammer? Not much, you probably would not even notice it. Now what would you think would happen with a painted fibreglass cover with a blow of the same force? I think you get the picture.

Another advantage of this plastic cover is to protect your cargo from the weather. It is a one piece design so it is going to be one of the best designs for keeping your cargo dry during a hard rain. You will not have to shovel snow out your truck box when you need to use it. Leaves and debris will probably just blow off the top of it rather than collect in your cargo area.

You can install this tonneau easily within a half hour with its fast clamp on installation design. If you need extra height you can remove it within seconds, because of the quick release hardware. Out of all the covers I have reviewed, the undercover tonneau cover has had the least amount of negative remarks said about it. Most covers, no matter how good most customers seem to think they are have some complainers. This is as with most any products. The advantages of the undercover tonneau cover seems to turn the sourest puss into a smiling face.

Hinged Tonneau Cover

datePosted on 00:00, June 23rd, 2008 by Brian Fuller

There are a variety of hinged tonneau covers on the market today. You can choose from a more expensive fiberglass lid to a much less expensive soft truck bed cover. There is quite a difference in the price span of the two.

Gaylord’s hard fiberglass covers offer the TL series, the X2000 and the unique butterfly tonneau. The butterfly lid is split down the center of the truck bed and opens from each side of the truck. This would make a great work truck cover because it allows you half of the truck bed at a time. All the Gaylord’s covers are painted to match the paint code you choose. These lids are of great quality but are not very cheap.

Another hard truck bed cover that comes in at a much lower price than the fibreglass lids is the Undercover tonneau. This cover is a solid lid made from ABS polymer which is very durable and very strong due to its design. A very popular lid that has a lot to offer. Because it is lightweight and its quick release hardware, it is easily removed and put back on, unlike the much heavier fiberglass lids. With its much lower price tag, durability and strength it is definitely worth taking a look at.

If you are looking at a real economical hinged tonneau then the soft covers are the way to go. They keep the heavy weather off your cargo, they allow you easy access to your truck bed and help conserve fuel. They are very lightweight and affordable.

Lund makes a soft hinged cover that is easy to install and easy on the pocket book. It easily opens and closes with the aid of two shocks. Very lightweight.

Extang also manufactures a hinged truck bed cover called the FullTilt. Again this cover allows quick easy access to your truck bed and can be removed quite easily. You can also roll this cover up to haul larger items. You have a choice of snap or a special peel and seal enclosure.

Hinged tonneau covers are made to give you quick easy access to your cargo area. The type you pick can depend on how deep your pockets are and your particular taste. From the smooth look of the painted Gaylord’s fibreglass lids to the more affordable Undercover which has its own uniqueness all the way to the very affordable soft hinged covers.

Extang Fulltilt Tonneau Cover Review

datePosted on 00:00, June 23rd, 2008 by Brian Fuller

The Extang Fulltilt tonneau cover has had so many personal good reviews it is hard to top. So many people who had purchased this cover were so pleased, it is hard to believe. They loved the function ability of it. They were ecstatic that it lifts on hinges with the aid of gas shocks. Lots of people loved the ability of being able to roll it up to accommodate a high load. It is also very easy to remove the lid completely if one feels the need. Many were very pleased with the quality of the Fulltilt.

The quality, the price, the look and the gas mileage they gained, to mention a few of the positive things. Just a little heads up but some actually contacted Extang about some problems such as the gap between the cover and the tailgate and the Rep for Extang sent them something to remedy the problem. Those customers were quite happy with the service they received.

Let me give you a brief description of the cover with some of its features. The cover is hinged at the cab and equipped with gas shocks. You can order it with snaps or with “peel & seal” J-Channel tongue and groove closure. The Fulltilt has an aluminum frame with spring-loaded bows. You are able to roll the tarp up or use it on its hinges. This lid also comes available in a toolbox edition.

There were a few problems such as some people had to add extra weather stripping along the cab end or the tailgate end. Most said the instructions were easy to follow but some said throw the instructions away because they are useless. Lots of people said their cargo area stayed dry even through long drives in the rain at highway speeds. Some said their cargo area did receive some water in similar situations. I myself think that you should take the time to make sure you have adequate weather stripping, this could solve this problem.
