What Types of Pickup Truck Bed Covers Are There?

Nowadays, pickup truck modifications are becoming more and more oriented towards life. The comfort and practicality of vehicles are becoming more and more important. More and more car owners are performing closed modifications on the trunks of pickup trucks. Next, let me share with you what types of pickup truck bed covers are there?

There are two main types of tonneau covers added to pickup trucks later: flat covers and high covers.

Next, we will specifically introduce the types and characteristics of pickup truck bed covers:

There are four types of truck bed covers

1. Hydraulic flat covers

This type of pickup bed cover is cheap, and uses hydraulic struts to connect the structure to the cargo box, making it easy to open, but this type of pickup bed cover also has problems such as limited angles. At present, this type of pickup bed cover is relatively rare in the market.

2. Folding cover

The simple three-fold cover/four-fold cover is fitted with the inside of the cargo box on both sides in the form of a buckle (latch). The advantage of this type of cargo box pickup rear cover is that it can be partially or fully opened according to the user's needs. However, the folding cover needs to be flipped manually. When adding a folding cover, the vehicle cannot retain the gantry.

3. Roller shutter cover

There are two types of roller shutters cover: manual and electric. The manual roller shutter cover is controlled by a traction rope and a spiral spring mechanism, which is more flexible and changeable than the above two flat covers. The electric roller shutter cover is controlled by a motor, which has a greater overall performance than the manual roller shutter, and of course the price is also high.

There are three main types of pickup truck covers: flat top, high top and slanted top.

According to the opening form and when the glass on both sides can be opened, there are many subdivided categories, such as three-door pickup truck covers, fully enclosed blind window pickup truck covers, side window enclosed pickup truck covers, etc.

1. Flat top cover

As the name implies, the height of the cargo box cover is flush with the front cab

2. High-top pickup truck cover

The overall height of the pickup truck bed cover is higher than the front cab. The height of the conventional high-top cargo box cover is about 15 cm higher than the cab. If there is a special customization that requires heightening, there are also factories that can produce according to customer needs to meet the needs of the majority of car owners. The pickup truck bed cover equipped with these two cargo box covers has a larger storage space, is waterproof, anti-theft, and has a more SUV feel.

Slanted cover, also known as sports pickup truck cover

This pickup truck cover has a sporty overall appearance, novel style, smooth lines, and perfect fit with the body lines when installed. It is a new model that has just been released in recent years. The appearance of this pickup truck cover conforms to the trend of the development of passenger pickup trucks and is loved by many pickup truck owners.

The pickup truck with a high cover is installed, the storage space is increased, and the safety and privacy of the cargo box are improved. It is more suitable for users to carry pets, fishing tools, barbecue grills, etc. for outdoor activities on weekends.
