Best Tonneau Covers Starting Under $300

If you need a tonneau cover that can be installed very quickly, a tri-fold cover makes a great choice. Starting at just $279.00, the TonnoPro TonnoFold Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover can be installed in minutes using the hand-tightened clamps, requiring no tools on most applications. The cover allows you to access two thirds of your bed by folding it toward the cab and securing it in place with the included buckle straps. If you need your full bed, the cover can be removed just as quickly as it's installed, allowing true 100 percent bed access.

The Gator SFX Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover has all the features you need in a soft folding cover and then some. The top of the cover is a sturdy, tear-resistant leather grain vinyl that looks great and keeps your gear out of the weather. Two thirds bed access is available by folding the cover up, or get 100 percent bed access by releasing the hand-tightened clamps and lifting the cover off. Snow and rain either run off the cover or are easily supported by the front and rear Monster Support Bows. If the cover doesn't perform to your expectations, take advantage of the Gator Guarantee and swap it out for another Gator cover within 60 days.

Another cover backed up by the love-it-or-swap-it Gator Guarantee, the SRX truck bed cover sits three quarters of an inch above your bed, which creates a sharp, low-profile look on your truck. Tension is adjustable via a block located on the driver side, allowing you to fine-tune the cover for extreme heat and frigid cold. The single release latch is also located on the driver side, making it a little easier to open than covers that use latches on both sides.

The Ionic Roll-up truck bed cover is unique on this list thanks to its turn dial tension adjustment. This dial lets you precisely adjust your tension adjustment with ease regardless of temperature and environment. The Ionic also includes sliding locks for an additional layer of security not found on most roll-up tonneau covers. These features in addition to its sleek, low profile make the Ionic Roll-up a great value with a lot of bang for your buck.

The SR1 can be installed a little more easily than other roll-up tonneau covers on this list thanks to the larger clamps, which tighten from the top down rather than the sides. It also features spring-loaded, automatic tension adjustment and a 1.5-inch profile. The cover has latches on both sides for extra security.
