A Tonneau Cover

A tonneau cover can provide you with a secure place to store your cargo. Whether you are looking for a dry place to secure your cargo or a safe place to hide your cargo from thieves, a truck cover will provide you with both.

Some tonneau covers have locks and some do not but even the ones that have no locks keep your cargo safer from thieves. They will not usually bother taking the chance on looking under a tonneau cover when they have no idea if there is anything valuable under it. If they can’t see it they won’t want it.

When someone looked at a tonneau cover a few years back they might think “Those truck bed covers would make getting your cargo in and out of your truck bed too hard to get at.” Now you can get some truck covers that give you very easy access to your cargo area. These include tonneau covers such as the retractable type, the hinged tonneau and the folding truck bed cover. Even some of the roll up covers roll up very quickly with the bows to give you quick access to your cargo area.

A tonneau cover can save you gas especially if you do a lot of highway driving. It will make your truck much more aerodynamic. With much less wind resistance you will save quite a bit on fuel over the long haul. Not to mention the great look it adds to your pickup truck.

There are many different tonneau covers to choose from. From the lower cost roll up truck bed covers to the more expensive retractable covers and the fiberglass hinged tonneau cover. A personal favorite of mine is the Extang Trifecta soft folding truck cover. This particular cover comes at a very reasonable price and will give you very fast and easy access to your truck bed. You just open your tailgate and unlatch the cover and fold it up towards the cab. It folds up in three sections and if you want more security just add an aftermarket tailgate lock.

You can see the trifecta and many more as well, by visiting my website below. You will also find information, reviews and tips on how to pick the proper tonneau cover for you and your truck. I am always glad to help you choose the right truck cover for your particular needs.

A Tonneau Cover can be a great asset to your truck. Keep your cargo safe from thieves and harsh weather. Check different types out as well as get information, reviews and tips on choosing a proper truck cover.

A tonneau cover has such advantages as saving on fuel consumption, protecting your cargo from weather conditions such as rain, snow, too much sun etc., Protecting your cargo from theft.

   The price of fuel has everyone feeling its effect. Trucks are known to burn more than their fare share of fuel. If you own a truck, you know what I am talking about. You can use all the help you can get. A tonneau cover can save a lot of fuel dollars by making your truck much more areodynamic. This should really get you thinking about purchasing a tonneau cover.

   It really sucks when you have something in your truck box and you need it, the truck bed is filled with snow and you have to dig it out.

Out of sight, out of mind, so to speak. Thieves won’t usually go out of their way to search under every tonneau cover they come across. This would cause too much suspicion to themselves.

At times like this you would be glad to have a tonneau for snow. That is to say a tonneau cover to keep the snow out of your truck box.

Do Tonneau Covers Save Fuel

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

A question asked by a lot of people before buying a tonneau cover for their truck is “Do tonneau covers save fuel?”. A truck bed cover can really help one to save fuel consumption. Not all models of these covers will help you save fuel. The lower weight types of truck bed covers can help you save a considerable amount of fuel. Covers made of fabrics are light weight and can help you to save fuel. Saving fuel means saving money and we all like to save money. If the cover is made of Fiberglas, then it may consume more fuel because of the weight factor, but this may be debatable.

If you use a lighter cover like the models made of fabric then there will be less load for the truck to pull. Lesser loads for the truck to pull spells less amount of fuel required. So, when the weight of the tonneau cover is reduced less amount fuel will be needed. Fuel prices are increasing day by day so the more ways you can find to improve mileage, the better off you will be.

When the back of the truck is covered with a cover that allows air to enter but restricts the air from leaving easily, what I am trying to say, if trapped air cannot escape from it then it will create some drag as a result of which more power will be required for the truck in order to move. The more power it takes to move the truck, the more fuel it consumes.

Now, the question is how much amount of fuel can be saved. In order to find the answer for this question, do not follow the advertisements of various tonneau cover manufacturing companies. The answer can be found out from the studies conducted by the independent organisations. These organisations conduct such studies by using various types of tonneau covers. So, one can better rely on their reports. Studies showed that about 8 to 10% of fuel can be saved by using the truck bed covers.

Also it was found that light weight tonneaus save more fuel. So when you are buying a truck bed cover for your truck, buy one which has got the lowest weight and you will want it to be durable, so a better quality cover would benefit you by lasting longer. Take your time to select a good cover for you truck as there are so many varieties of covers available in the market and it is really difficult to choose one that suits your needs.

Now you know the answer to the question, “Do tonneau covers save fuel?”.
