Folding
Tonneau Cover Review
Ken Bishop
A pickup truck with a folding tonneau cover brings it a step further than adding a great new look to a truck. The
capability of getting at your truck bed very easily within seconds is a feature worth its weight in gold.
Not having to unsnap your tonneau cover or unfasten it with whatever fastening system you may have would be a
great asset. Some of the other systems available are; snaps, industrial strength Velcro and some have a special squeeze into the groove type of
system, something along the lines of a zip lock freezer bag.
These systems work great and the truck bed covers that have them look awesome on the back of a truck. The problem
is that you do have to take the added time and inconvenience to undo these fasteners and then roll up your truck bed cover.
This is where a folding tonneau cover exceeds the rest. Just flip and fold up the lid and there as quick as you can say,
truck bed cover that folds, your cargo area is exposed allowing you to put objects in or take objects out.
You do have the tilt lids or covers that lift up from the back very quickly. They also work and look great, but,
they do have their set backs. The lid on the tilt covers has to be removed in order to take on taller loads. Again the advantage of owning a
folding tonneau cover is all you have to do is fold your cover up and bingity bang your complete truck bed is open for whatever load you want to
put on there.
Now you may say, well the retractable tonneau cover has all these advantages that the folding lid has. That is
correct but, those retractable truck bed covers come at a high price. They are great if you can afford them. A folding cover gives you the option
of getting at your entire cargo area quickly, easily at a very affordable price.
You may say you would like a folding tonneau cover but you really don't want a soft cover. Don't fret, there are
some hard folding lids as well. Bak makes a sort of plastic folding lid which is a real popular truck bed cover amongst truck owners.
