The Pros and Cons
When shopping for tonneau covers, it’s essential to know the advantages and disadvantages of the various styles. That way, you can decide which type of tonneau cover will suit you best. Below is a brief breakdown of each style’s pros and cons.
Hard Fold Tonneau Covers
Offering unmatched durability and security, Hard Fold tonneau covers are a great option as they provide fantastic protection against theft and weather while allowing you to access your truck bed.
Advantages:
- Can be painted to match your truck’s body
- Most clamp in and do not require any drilling
- The hinge system makes them easy to open and close
Disadvantages:
- Limited usage for loads that sit above truck bed rails
- Typically requires two people to remove from the truck
- Requires significant storage space when not in use
Soft Fold Tonneau Covers
Typically, the more budget-friendly option, Soft Fold tonneau covers, provides reliable protection while still being lightweight and simple to install.
Advantages:
- Easy to remove when hauling large or tall cargo
- Available in a wide variety of folding options to suit your access needs
- Provides that classic vinyl tonneau cover look
Disadvantages:
- Potential for vinyl to stretch, fade, or crack over time
- Limited theft protection compared to other styles of tonneau covers
- Some users consider the bow system and button snaps to be cumbersome
Retractable Tonneau Covers
This style of tonneau cover gives your truck a sleek and modern look. Similar to the Soft Fold options, Retractable tonneau covers are easy to use.
Advantages:
- Offers versatile bed access options (fully uncovered, half covered, fully covered) with their retractable designs
- Typically available in a variety of materials, such as hard plastic, vinyl, and aluminum
- Enhanced security and easy to install as they mount on a track system that clamps to your truck bed’s rails
Disadvantages:
- Typically more expensive compared to other tonneau cover styles
- Requires more time to install
- Since they retract into a canister at the front of your truck bed, they can occupy more space than other styles (this is especially truck for motorized units)
Roll-Up Tonneau Covers
Offering the perfect blend of convenience and flexibility, Roll-Up tonneau covers can be completely rolled up for full bed access or secured in place for partial access.
Advantages:
- Typically lighter in weight than other cover styles
- Easy to install and uninstall
- A budget-friendly option
Disadvantages:
- Fabric options are not as durable as Hard Fold tonneau covers
- Must be secured once rolled up
- Some newer options are available in a hard composite material, making them more durable but also more costly
