Two of the most popular soft roll-up tonneau covers for trucks are the Gator SR2 and the TruXedo Lo Pro. These covers share a host of similar features, but there are subtle differences that you can use to determine which cover is best for you. In this article, we examine some of these differences.


Shared Features

  • Single Trigger Latch: Opens by releasing a single latch near the tailgate.

  • Vinyl Tarp: A heavy-duty vinyl tarp protects your bed from the elements.

  • Made in the USA: Both covers are manufactured in the United States.

The cover’s tension can be adjusted manually via a thumbscrew-operated tensioning device.


Profile

The SR2 has a standard profile and sits approximately 1.5 inches above your bed rails.


Operation

TruXedo Lo Pro

Tension

This is a low-profile cover that sits about half an inch above your bed rails.
