1. Save Money

Saving money can be a priority for many households. Trucks with an empty, uncovered truck bed will produce more resistance to the air, increase drag, and therefore increasing your bill at the gas pumps. When you cover your truck bed with a tonneau cover, the air passes smoothly over the truck cab and flows away towards the tailgate. This will decrease drag for a faster and energy-efficient driving experience. Also, it will improve fuel economy and save on gas mileage for every trip you take.

2. Protection from Weather

A hard folding tonneau cover will provide great protection from the harshest weather conditions such as snow, hail, and heavy rain. These tonneau covers provide a nice tight seal and are highly water resistant. Drivers can be worried-free of their gear being soaking wet and damaged with their tonneau covers installed. Also, they provide protection from any on-coming debris or dirt from damaging the inside of your truck bed and cargo. And for an added bonus, a majority of these tonneau covers are UV protected from the harmful UV rays.

3. Provides Privacy

With an opened and uncovered truck bed, passengers and on-lookers will be able to see what you are carrying or hauling in your truck bed. Whether it be family mementos or an expensive tool, a hard folding tonneau cover will prevent others from knowing what is really inside. If it is out of sight, it is out of mind, thereby minimizing the potential of theft.

4. Provides Security

Whether you are transporting goods, hauling equipment, or making a pit stop, drivers want to make sure their valuables are safe and secure. With the hard exterior cover from tonneau covers like Extang and BAK, along with a locking tailgate from brands as Pop&Lock, your valuables will be secured and will stay secured even when you are gone.

5. Accessibility

For a majority of hard folding tonneau covers, drivers can gain full access to the truck bed. BAK industries' G2 and F1 are great examples, where the drivers can lean their tonneau cover to the cab end. If you would like partial access, simply unfold the sections and clamp them into place. This folding feature works great when loading oversized or large items.

6. Appearance

Tonneau covers not only provide functionality, but they also offer a sleek and clean look. Unwanted and slightly eyesores are all tucked away under the tonneau cover, leaving them to shine in their brilliance.

As a majority of these hard folding tonneau covers are mounted inside the truck bed, drivers are able to add other truck accessories such as bed caps, bed rails, bed liners, racks and hitches. There are many possibilities with these covers, all you have to do is ask and check the compatibility.

9. Easy Installation

Although these hard tonneau covers can be heavy, installation will be a breeze with 2 people. Average installation times may take 30-60 minutes for installation. However, once you have installed it, there would not be a reason to remove it. But should you need to uninstall these tonneau covers, removal would be just as easy.

10. Durability
