CHOOSING THE RIGHT COVER FOR YOUR TRUCK BED
August 6, 2021
So it’s time to protect your truck bed.
Every day without a bed cover is a day you leave your truck, and the items in your truck bed, exposed. But which cover is right for you? The world of truck bed covers can be overwhelming. With so many types and brands, it can be hard to figure out which one is the best option. Hard covers. Soft covers. Tonneau. Rolling. How can you sift through all the options and features to discover exactly what you need? At Liberty LINE-X, we happen to be experts in aftermarket accessories–and truck bed covers are no exception. With so many choices, we’re here to help you make sense of all the information.
Let’s review your options and give you some examples to help you make your choice:
RETRACTABLE
Retractable tonneau covers offer protection and safety for items in your truck bed with the additional benefit of ease of access. Retractable covers are extremely versatile. You can protect your truck bed and still haul oversized items. Maybe you only need to grab a couple of small items out of the bed? Retractable bed covers let you partially open your cover instead of exposing the entire bed. Plus, retractable covers provide a sleek and streamlined look. These covers offer the ultimate in security and versatility.
