The Benefits of Vinyl Tonneau Covers
Soft vinyl Tonneau covers can provide the same protection as
heavier covers with less hassle. There are a wide variety of
models to choose from. Vinyl Tonneau covers are extremely
lightweight, allowing for easy installation and use. These
covers are usually flush with the top of the bed, greatly
reducing the truck's wind resistance. Vinyl covers can sell for
much less than comparable aluminum or fiberglass models, often
retailing for as little as $150.
Available in nearly all of the same styles as covers made of
aluminum or other materials, Vinyl Tonneau covers can come in
one piece, and are either supported and locked upright by metal
bars, or rolled up and retracted. Other models come in hinged
panels that can be folded. All of these styles provide the
protection and security needed to keep cargo safe.
One major advantage of vinyl Tonneau covers is that they are
very light. For easy installation, the frames snap often into
place and so require no drilling. These covers are so
lightweight that anyone can put them into place. They can be
easily removed when they are not needed, an important feature
for people who will use and remove the cover often. Constructed
with high-grade vinyl, it is incorrect to assume that because
they are so light, they must also be weak. Many models can
support well over one hundred pounds of pressure. Vinyl Tonneau
covers can provide the same level of protection as aluminum or
fiberglass covers.
Vinyl Tonneau covers are installed flush with the top of the
truck bed, which greatly reduces wind resistance. Gas mileage
increases as wind resistance decreases, making this a
significant feature. Reduced wind resistance will allow for
faster travel and easier steering.
A great alternative to fiberglass or aluminum covers, Vinyl
Tonneau covers are long lasting, provide excellent protection
for cargo, and are easy to use.
