TRUCK BED COVERS picture by Gaylords Kustom Fiberglass Bed Lids We carry a full range of truck bed covers from leading US manufacturers . There are many benefits to fitting a tonno cover or bed lid to your pickup - apart from simple good looks, improved security and weather protection, you will also get improved fuel economy, - up to 11% proven in some studies so that it's possible for even a basic tonno to pay for itself in a relatively short space of time, especially so here in Europe with our increasingly high fuel prices. We supply two main types of bed cover - soft tonno covers and hard tonnos (bed lids) Which one is best for your truck will depend on what you intend doing with it and your budget.
Advantages are soft tonnos are relatively inexpensive, light weight and easily installed/removed, plus there is a wide range of ingenious variations to cover most requirements, including versions to work with tool boxes. Soft Tonnos are also easily opened to allow bulky loads to be carried. Some tonnos come with a hinged frame to allow them to open up like a bed lid for instant access. The downside is that they are less secure than a hard tonno, because the covers are usually made from fabric/vinyl material which can be cut. Color choice is also limited with most manufacturers either offering either just black or else a limited range of colors on certain popular ranges. We carry an extensive selection from leading brands such as Access, Extang, Lund, Covercraft and Truxedo.
Hard Tonno Covers - these include Bed Lids and Aluminium tonnos. We carry a full range from BAK industries, Pace Edwards, TrailFX, Gaylords, Fibernetics and Undercover
Advantages are they offer instant access to your truck bed being easy to open. They are usually paintable to match your color scheme, long lasting, good looking, weatherproof, strong and secure (most are lockable) plus can have additional styling accessories easily mounted such as spoilers. Disadvantage of these is that they are more expensive than most soft tonnos, plus have to be removed if you are hauling any bulky or oversize loads. Because of their physical size, they are more difficult to handle/store when removed from the truck (and don't forget when comparing our prices with US vendors this large size makes them expensive to ship!) But if you run a show truck and want custom looks, super finish, good security and don't carry bulky loads too often then this type of lid is an excellent choice
