Who Can Benefit from a Tonneau Cover?

If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your truck for some time now, in your research you may have stumbled across numerous ads for tonneau covers. You might have quickly clicked past them. After all, wouldn’t you want something that serves a functional purpose, like a car audio amplifier, new wheels, or a new subwoofer? Who needs to spend money on a silly flap whose only purpose is to cover your pickup bed?

But don’t discount tonneau covers before you’ve learned about them; this particular upgrade is popular among truck enthusiasts for a reason—many reasons, in fact. Discover those reasons below, brought to you by Mobile Installation, a Brooklyn Park post-market car installation expert.

Stretch your Gas Mileage with a Tonneau Cover

As awe-inspiring as pickups can be, they don’t tend to be particularly good as far as gas mileage goes. Aside from a truck’s large size, part of the reason they can be gas guzzlers is their exposed beds.

When you drive without a tonneau cover (your bed exposed), wind flows down into the bed of your truck, which adds to the air resistance your truck needs to cut through to move forward. Your engine thus works harder, expending more gas—and, of course, expending more cash from your pocketbook.

A tonneau cover will make your truck more aerodynamic. In other words, it stops wind from flowing into your bed as you drive. Your engine can work more efficiently, which saves you money.

Expanded Hauling Capabilities

Are you a hunter? A camper? A welder? Anyone who has ever once used their pickup to haul something? A tonneau cover can benefit you. How?

●        Your cargo won’t fly out. You’ve no doubt heard horror stories about precious gear flying out of pickup beds from fellow haulers. By cutting down on wind resistance and preventing debris from hitting your cargo, a tonneau cover acts as a protective shield.

●        Wear and tear? It’s a thing of the past. If you use your truck as part of your business—IE, you’re an artist, sculptor, or woodworker—it’s crucial that you deliver the product to the client unscathed. If you can’t fit it in your car, investing in a tonneau cover is a great way to make sure that wind, dust, and other debris don’t wear down your handiwork.

●        No need to worry about the weather. If you’re driving along and it begins to rain, an unprotected bed can mean that you’ll need to pull off somewhere to keep your cargo safe. A tonneau cover offers some water protection, allowing you to continue with your trip and saving precious time.
