Save Money Every Day with Tonneau Covers

As the owner of a pickup truck, you have no doubt noticed that it does not get the best fuel mileage in the world. While some might say that because it is a truck that this is to be expected and to some extent they would be right. However, this does not mean that you can’t do anything about it. Tonneau covers have long since proven their ability to significantly improve fuel mileage.

The big cause of poor fuel mileage is the tailgate, it acts like a big air dam and that effective makes it like driving around with your foot on the brakes. Tonneau covers such as those from Bak Liner, cover the bed of your truck from cab to tailgate and provide a smooth surface for the air to flow across. This eliminates air drag and thus can make a big difference in your overall fuel consumption, while providing a secure dry place for your shopping.

Tonneau Covers are More Than Just a Cover

When you have a pickup truck you have access to the perfect way to carry any number of loads from your groceries and your Christmas shopping to the brand new gas grill you have been waiting for. However, having an open bed presents a host of problems ranging from poor weather to security; this is part of the reason for tonneau covers.

Tonneau covers accomplish several things at the same time, to start with they add complete weatherproofing to your bed, which will keep anything you buy clean and dry no matter what the weather. They add security as the majority of hard tonneau covers are locking and they help to reduce the drag your tailgate creates and improve your overall fuel mileage. They also add to the beauty and resale value of your truck when the time comes to sell it or trade it in.

At Bak Liner we make custom tonneau covers to fit almost every pickup truck on the road today.

This means that you can haul those heavy loads without having to worry about removing your tonneau cover.

Are Aluminum Tonneau Covers Worth Cost?

There are many different materials that are and can be used to make tonneau covers and while each of them has their purpose, aluminum tonneau covers are gaining in popularity.  There are several reasons for this; first and foremost has to be their longevity. Unlike soft vinyl tonneau covers that rip and fall apart in harsh weather conditions or plastic that buckles under a load or in the hot sun, aluminum stands the test of time.

For those in the construction industry aluminum tonneau covers make far more sense. With our RollBak tonneau cover, you can carry up to 400 pounds of weight on top of the cover when it is fully closed. With our unique mounting system, you can still use the stake holes in the sides of your bed to help hold the load in place or mount bed rails. Our aluminum tonneau covers are among the most cost effective and versatile on the market.

Carry a Heavier Load with our Retractable Tonneau Covers

With most hard tonneau covers you can get away with carrying a certain amount of weight on top of the cover. Most manufacturers do not really recommend this as they are afraid of it damaging their covers. At Bak Liner we have specifically designed our retractable tonneau covers to be able to handle a load. Not only are they made from aircraft grade aluminum, the mount system has also been designed to handle the load.

How much of a load will our retractable tonneau covers handle?  All of our RollBak tonneau covers have been designed to handle up to 400 pounds of distributed load. What does “distributed load” mean? Basically it means that you can load 400 pound of lumber or other large items on top of the cover, but a single 400 pound item that is relatively small in size might not be a very good idea.
