Having an open bed ready to receive anything you might want to transport is a wonderful benefit of owning a truck. That’s an additional 100 cubic feet of hauling capabilities over a typical car. It’s why you bought it! But by installing a bed cover, you will increase your truck’s value, fuel savings, security and capabilities exponentially.

Though there are dealerships that offer products from a variety of manufacturers, it is always a good idea to go directly to the source for information and questions.

Tonneau Covers — DiamondBack SE

Made from aluminum diamond plate, the DiamondBack SE truck bed cover won’t crack like fiberglass or wear out like vinyl. With a 400-pound hauling capacity on top, you can haul plenty of extra gear on top while keeping those everyday items safely locked below.

The die-cast zinc lock handles on the access panels of the DiamondBack keep your gear secure by actuating 0.37-inch deadbolt-style rods directly under the bed rails of your truck, and a thick neoprene compression gasket runs along the perimeter of the cover to create a barrier to water, snow or ice, keeping your cargo dry.

An L-shaped seal wraps the side and rear perimeters of the lid under the skirt of the tonneau cover to block water that might make it past the fiberglass skirting.
