This wiki has been updated 21 times since it was first published in January of 2019. Tonneau covers not only give trucks a more streamlined appearance, but they are said to improve your gas mileage too. Even if you don't care about either of those things, you'll appreciate the way they keep your Dodge Ram 1500's cargo dry in the event of a rainstorm. They will also keep whatever is in the bed out of sight of prying eyes, so there is less chance of theft.

Editor's Notes

February 04, 2021:

Tonnea covers come in both hard and soft options, and each of these are available in various styles. Whether you prefer a roll-up soft cover, a retractable metal one, a fold-up panel model, or any other kind, we have included it here. We cover tonneau covers for many pickup truck models, so we are well versed in the best options and all the current releases. Armed with this knowledge, we are confident that our current selection still represents the finest quality choices on the market and have made no major changes to the lineup during this update.

While tonneau covers can provide a number of benefits, one of the most important is security. If you often leave expensive gear in your bed overnight, you'll want to choose a hard model, like the RetraxPro XR, Bak Revolver X2, Roll-N-Lock LG447M, BakFlip MX4, Tonno Pro HF-250, Extang Solid Fold 2.0, and UnderCover Flex FX31004, since nobody can just cut through them with a pocket knife. It is worth nothing though, that even soft models provide some level of theft deterrence because they keep your stuff out of sight of prying eyes. If you are happy with that level of security and just want something that will help cut down on your gas mileage and keep your cargo dry when it rains, the Tyger Auto T3, TruXedo TruXport Roll-Up, and Gator ETX 1385954 will serve your needs. The RetraxPro XR earned the top spot because, in addition to offering a high level of security, it is also very versatile. As long as you buy the model that is compatible with the Trax Rail system, you will be able to add on roof-rack style crossbars at any time in the future to increase your cargo-carrying capacity. The BakFlip MX4, Tonno Pro HF-250, and Extang Solid Fold 2.0 all earned extra marks for being able to support a lot of weight.
