There are literally hundreds of tonneau covers on the market. These covers protect the cargo placed in one’s truck bed. This is best when your truck is parked overnight during an outdoor feat, protecting your gear from those that may have more than just passing interest in a superior looking truck. In addition to keeping your cargo hidden away, it also needs to be protected from the elements. That is why extang trifecta is installed on pickup trucks.

So, what can this extang tonneau cover offer to one’s truck?  First is the ease of installation and removal on the truck due to its light weight yet durable material. One can just open the rear nylon constructed and spring loaded speed clamps which usually takes only 5 seconds. Then, the tonneau will be folded back up to the front through its tri-fold system and unclamp by hand the front clamps. If it is removed from the truck, you can just store it in the garage in its folded and smallest footprint condition.

Another feature an extang bed cover offers is the security it provides to the truck bed. To open the cover, one must open it from the inside rear using the speed clamps then be folded back. Once it is closed and locked, no one can get into the stowed gear.  It also uses the weathertuff rail seal which is a tough seal that is tight against the truck bed rails. Once the tailgate is closed, the surface will be sealed tight against the top of the gate providing security to the cargo on the truck bed.

The coolest feature the extang cover can give is the appearance it makes on your truck. Its signature series has a more luxurious appointed cover with the same toughness as the standard vinyl. It provides a deeper felt like appearance from a distance and a tougher textured surface to the touch. These classes up the truck without losing the toughness that a tonneau is expected to provide. It will endure over the many years of service under one’s ownership.

With the features offered by this cover, no wonder a lot of people have been buying this for their truck. Not only will it provide style and security to a pickup truck, it also improves the fuel economy of the vehicle. How so? As your truck travels down the road, the air it passes will flow over the front end of the truck and will be deflected into the hollow bowl of the truck’s bed producing an opposite force. Covering the truck bed will lower this air resistance, allowing it to be driven faster and save about 10% of its gas consumption.
