Top 5 Tonneau Covers You Need On Your Pick-Up Truck

With an increase in the popularity of Tonneau Covers, also known as truck bed covers, we had a look at recommending the best 5 for you, no matter your vehicle. Tonneau Covers are an essential accessory for a pickup truck owner who doesn't want a hardtop, they still allow you to cover and protect your cargo but keep the traditional pickup look.

1. Truckman Roll-Top Xtreme

One of the most secure and robust roller shutter Tonneau covers on the market, the concealed turn handle and integrated pull strap makes one-hand opening and closing easy. With enhanced aluminium construction and ArmorTek vinyl finish, the truck bed cover is reliable and robust. The weatherproof all-around seal helps prevent water from entering the truck bed, working with the front and rear drainage tubes that channel water and help keep the truck bed dry, to make the Tonneau Cover extremely weatherproof.

Truckman's Roll-Top Xtreme features a unique rail expansion system allowing you to fit various accessories, such as crossbars, bike racks and more. The T-Slots for the crossbars are aluminium extrusions making them very robust as opposed to injection moulded plastic which isn't as strong and reliable.

Available for: Nissan Navara NP300 (2016 Onwards), Volkswagen Amarok (2010 – 2021), Toyota Hilux (2016 Onwards), Ford Ranger (2012 Onwards), Isuzu D-Max (2012 – 2020)

2. Truckman Aluminium Lift-Up Tonneau Cover

Constructed from robust aluminium for a remarkably tough and reliable bed cover, the lift-up aluminium Tonneau Cover features a stylish chequer plate top and is ideal for a pickup truck that you use as a workhorse. The high-quality gas struts provide a smooth opening and closing mechanism and the Tonneau still maintains the traditional pickup truck look.

With a quick and easy, non-drill fit, Truckman's Lift-Up Tonneau Cover holds an outstanding 100kg making it ideal for another work surface.

Available for: Nissan Navara NP300 (2016 Onwards), Volkswagen Amarok (2010 – 2021), Ford Ranger (2012 Onwards), Mitsubishi L200 (2015 Onwards), Mercedes X-Class (2018 – 2021), Toyota Hilux (2016 Onwards) 

3. Mountain Top EVOm

Designed with style and durability in mind, Mountain Top's EVOm is one of their newest retractable Tonneau Covers. Constructed from lightweight automotive-grade aluminium the EVOm is a robust hard-wearing cover that will look the part and last the test of time. The knife-proof aluminium slats are near impossible to force apart to gain access to the truck bed, providing the perfect storage space for your cargo. The optimal aerodynamic design, with a concealed handle, also provides outstanding security for your cargo.

Mountain Top's unique ClickTech system enables the Tonneau to be easily removed for bulky cargos and loads. The infinity design means the bed cover is built with no back edge to prevent stagnant water from building up on the cover, allowing it to flow over the rear profile or exit through the side rails. With the optional crossbars, you can maximise the cargo-carrying potential and boost practicality.

Available for: Isuzu D-Max (2021 Onwards), Ford Ranger (2012 Onwards), Ford Ranger Wildtrak (2012 Onwards), Toyota Hilux (2016 Onwards), Mitsubishi L200 (2019 Onwards)

4. Truckman Retrax with Roll Bar

Wanting to add a Tonneau and upgrade the aggressive look of your pickup truck? Then the Truckman Retrax with a Roll Bar is the perfect combination for you. Truckman's Retrax is perfect for discerning pickup truck owners who want a dependable, long-lasting and value-adding upgrade for their truck. With a stylish matte black, UV resistant finish, this roller shutter is one of the most robust in the industry, being constructed from industrial strength aluminium, making it extremely tough and reliable.

To provide an exceptionally smooth, no-snag opening and closing action, Truckman developed sealed ball bearings, however, the bed cover is still lockable at various intervals making it ideal for part-shutting when transporting bulky items. The unique water management system collects and drains water away - and out of the pickup truck load bed area. With this combination, the Truckman Retrax comes with a stylish roll bar and is still compatible with the versatile, industry-leading Rhino-Rack crossbar kit.

Available for: Nissan Navara NP300 (2016 Onwards), Ford Ranger (2012 Onwards), Isuzu D-Max (2012 – 2020), Mercedes X-Class (2018 Onwards), Toyota Hilux (2016 Onwards)

5. Mountain Top EVOe

This new innovative electric roller shutter from Mountain Top had to be at the top of the list. Crafted from automotive-grade aluminium providing a strong, durable and corrosion-resistant cover, the Mountain Top EVOe provides secure storage and protects your truck bed from the elements. Operated via a handy remote key fob, which activates a dual-speed belt drive and soft-close mechanism, offering users the versatility to stop the roll cover in any position and allows versatile cargo storage. Roller shutters have become increasingly popular due to the ease of opening and closing the Tonneau Cover, however, the Mountain Top EVOe takes this ease to the extreme with keyless entry allowing easy access to the truck bed with the press of a button via the keyfob included. Fitted with an automatic interior LED light, which gradually brightens as the Tonneau is opened, seeing your tools or cargo on a dark winters night has never been easier. 

The EVOe is fitted with the Mountain Top water management system that they use on all of their Tonneau Covers and roller shutters, making the electric Tonneau Cover weather resistant and capable of draining 40 litres of water per minute. To ensure the EVOe gets the highly recognised Mountain Top approval, they have rigorously tested the Tonneau in challenging environments to be certain it is suitable for tough, everyday use.

Honourable Mention: Max Hard 1 Piece

Specifically for the Ford Ranger Wildtrak, the Hard Tonneau Cover by Max Liner is a smooth, streamlined, aerodynamically designed one-piece Tonneau that is guaranteed to impress. With a 45° opening angle, the Max Hard Tonneau Cover is ideal for side and rear access. One of the reasons the Max Hard Tonneau is so popular for the Wildtrak is that the OEM factory-fitted styling hoop doesn't have to be removed like with most other truck bed covers.
