Why Opt for an Electric Retractable Tonneau Cover?

One of the most significant benefits of pickup truck ownership is its massive cargo area. However, unless you order your ride with an overpriced factory bed cover, there isn’t much to protect your valuable cargo from nasty weather conditions and theft. 

You can’t beat an electric retractable tonneau cover for the ultimate convenience and cargo protection. Manufactured from cut-resistant aluminum or polycarbonate slats, electric retractable tonneau covers can withstand all of the abuse you’ll throw their way. When full bed access is required, just actuate the electric motor and watch the tonneau cover disappear into its canister. 

Aside from security, other benefits include sleek and streamlined aesthetics via a low-profile canister, effortless remote-control operation, and multiple locking positions for increased functionality.

Common Constructions

Electric retractable tonneau covers are manufactured with two primary materials. Check out the qualities and benefits of each below. 

Aluminum

Sturdy, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant—what’s not to love? Aluminum slats are the most common of the two constructions. However, unusually hard impacts may lead to bends or dents.

Polycarbonate

While not as commonly used as aluminum, polycarbonate slats are an excellent alternative. This tough, impact-resistant material—usually Lexan—is incredibly durable. As a type of plastic, polycarbonate slats won’t ever rust or degrade, making for long-lasting constructions.
