Extang Bed Covers - What to Know Before You Buy

Extang has manufactured America's number one selling pickup truck bed covers since 1982. Extang was the first tonneau manufacturing company in America to sell the tonneau pickup truck bed cover nationwide. Extang engineers created the "No Damage, No Drilling, Clamp-On Aluminum Frame" tonneau pickup truck bed cover systems. It works so well that they back it up with a warranty that has you covered longer than most pickup truck owners will own their pick up trucks. So why worry? Extang customers receive a Lifetime warranty on the tonneau truck cover, tonno pickup truck frame and 10 Years limited warranty on any tonno pick up truck bed covers and tonneau truck bed cover tarps.

The method of madness behind the success of Extang is options. Extang bed covers come in 8 different styles and all 8 styles are able to be up to 10 different colors to help add a custom look to your truck. With all of those options it is a safe bet that one of them would fit the needs of your truck, that is a real safe bet. But allot of use do not feel as though they can justify spending a couple hundred dollars on something for the truck that they actually do not need. You can drive a truck without a bed cover just fine as we all know. So why buy a truck bed cover of any name brand?

All truck bed cover will help reduce your gas mileage. I will use Extang as an example. There is conservatively guessing around 500,000 Extang Tonnos on the road everyday and based on the average gas savings, Extang saves America 60 million gallons of gas per year or approximately $100,000,000. Studies show the average truck owner drives 18,000 miles per year. At 15 mpg that comes to 1,200 gallons of gas. At a minimum 10% savings you would save around 120 gallons a year (and many reports show it to be more like 12%). With these fact it is obvious it would not take too many months to have your new bed cover pay for itself.

In conclusion a truck bed cover is a great investment and helps improve the look of your truck at the same time. Before you buy a bed cover I recommend these steps:

- What are your needs? Do you use your truck bed? Do you have a toolbox currently? Will you have need to take your bed cover off the truck regularly?

- Find which brand of truck tonneau bed covers fit your needs. Some other quality bed covers are Pace Edwards, TruXedo, Fold-A-Cover and Access.

- Once you found the cover shop for the best price! If are willing to install the cover yourself I would highly recommend buying truck tonneau bed covers online for the best price.

So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and start the search for your trucks perfect bed cover.
