Updated on Jun 6, 2025

Countless truck bed cover brands and models have popped up over the past few years, flooding the market with seemingly identical options boasting similar aesthetics and features. While variety is good, too much can make choosing a tonneau cover an ordeal.

Even within the same brand, like RealTruck’s own TruXedo, several similar submodels—like the TruXport and Lo Pro—can lead to confusion and the inability to pull the trigger. While these two tonneau covers may seem identical, we’re here to outline the distinct differences that set them apart.

Stay tuned for this Tonneau Cover Comparison feature, where we review the features of both products to determine which best suits your needs and budget. Read on to learn everything you need to know about pinning the TruXedo TruXport vs. the TruXedo Lo Pro, including differences in design, materials, and price points.

Build Quality: Materials and Construction

Let’s examine the build quality of each tonneau cover, which directly affects its longevity, reliability, and overall strength.

Both tonneau covers are nearly identical construction-wise. The TruXedo Lo Pro and TruXport employ a powder-coated aluminum frame for structural support and rigidity. Stretched over each frame are marine-grade vinyl overlays, which, when paired with the weather-resistant bulkhead and tailgate seals and side hook-and-loop strips, create a weather-resistant seal for your cargo.

Neither cover is superior in terms of build quality. Both tonneau covers are durable, high-quality, and built to last due to their use of identical materials and USA manufacturing.

Design: Aesthetics and Profile

The differences become apparent when comparing the design of both tonneau covers. While both the Lo Pro and TruXport fall under the same tonneau cover category (soft roll-up), they feature different profiles. Whereas the TruXport sits relatively low, at only 1-½ inches above the bed rails, the Lo Pro protrudes only half as high.

For those who prefer sleek aesthetics, the Lo Pro’s 3/4-inch height makes it one of the lowest-profile soft rolling bed covers on the market. Aside from this difference, both bed covers feature similar leather-grained finishes that complement any paint color.

Operation: Installation and Usability

Installing both tonneau covers is quick and easy using the included no-drill clamps and hardware. Without a single modification to the covers or your truck, either can be installed at home in under one hour. Both covers also include auto-tensioning systems, which ensure that, regardless of the climate, both vinyl tarps remain taught and wrinkle-free.

Operating both tonneau covers is a breeze with their intuitive latch mechanisms. That being said, both covers utilize different latch designs for a slightly varied experience. The TruXport utilizes a more conventional dual paddle latch design, requiring both sides of the tonneau cover to be freed from the rails individually. Alternatively, the Lo Pro features a single “one finger” trigger latch, allowing you to unlatch the bed cover with a single flick of a finger. Once unlatched, however, opening and closing both covered is a similar experience.

We’re not finished yet, though. The Lo Pro has one more trick under its sleek that the TruXport doesn’t—an integrated quick-release system. While both covers provide full bed access while opened, the Lo Pro can be removed from your truck’s bed in seconds without any tools.

Warranty and Support

Lastly, let’s discuss the warranties and support each tonneau cover provides.

Considering both products are engineered and manufactured by RealTruck brand, TruXedo, expect industry-leading customer service and support from either product. Our customer service professionals pride themselves on providing the best service available.

That being said, both tonneau covers have different warranties. TruXedo gives the Lo Pro a limited lifetime warranty, while the TruXport receives a five-year warranty.

Which Tonneau Cover Comes Out on Top?

So, which tonneau cover is superior?

Feature- and warranty-coverage-wise, the TruXedo Lo Pro takes the victory. With an ultra-low ¾-inch-tall profile, effortless operation via the single-finger trigger latch, and an integrated quick-release system, the Lo Pro is one of the most advanced soft roll-up bed covers on the market. However, it also features a more premium price tag.

The Lo Pro is typically priced over 200 dollars higher than the TruXport. At almost double the price, it’s no wonder that the Lo Pro outperforms the TruXport. Comparing the budget-minded TruXport with the premium Lo Pro is unfair, as the two fall into entirely different classes.

Both tonneau covers offer exceptional features and quality for their respective prices. Ultimately, the decision boils down to your budget. If you’re shopping in the 300-dollar range, the TruXport is tough to beat. However, if you can budget the extra cash, the Lo Pro’s additional features warrant the price jump.
