Features to know about

Strong Cargo Protection: Aluminum and Vinyl Hybrid Build

The TruXedo Sentry uses 3/4" thick aluminum slats wrapped in a premium, 5-layer polyester and vinyl fabric to create a hard, roll-up cover that stands up to weather and impact. This hybrid-style design gives you the solid protection of a hard cover with the flexibility and sleek look of a soft one. The heavy-duty slats can handle up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight, guarding against hail or falling objects while keeping your cargo secure and dry in extreme temperatures from -40°F to 120°F.

Full Bed Access in Seconds: Roll-Up Design

You don’t have to remove the cover to haul bigger gear. Just pull one of the release cables at the tailgate and roll the cover toward the cab. Safety straps keep it secured while you drive, and the compact roll won’t block your rear window. It unlocks from either side with slam latches and rolls up fast, giving you the space you need for tall or bulky items without losing protection when you’re done.

Streamlined Look and Better Efficiency: Ultra-Low-Profile Rails

The side rails mount inside the bed rails and sit at a 15-degree angle, so the cover rides just 1/2" above the bed for a flush, clean look. The low profile cuts down on wind drag and noise, which can help improve fuel economy. Because the rails don’t overlap your stake pockets, you can still use tie-down anchors, rail caps, or bed liners without interference.

Secure Closure and Weather Seal: Slam Latches and Mid-Bed Locks

When you close the tailgate and press down on the corners, the slam latches automatically lock the cover in place. Additional mid-bed latches engage at the same time for extra theft protection, sealing the edges so nobody can pry it open. Rubber seals along the rails block water and dust, keeping your cargo clean and dry even in rough weather.

Quick Setup and Easy Removal: Clamp-On, Self-Leveling Rails

Installation is simple and tool-free with bolt-on clamps that secure the rails inside the bed. The built-in self-leveling design keeps the rails square so the cover rolls smoothly every time. If you ever need to take it off completely, the quick-release guides let you remove the entire cover in seconds without a wrench or drill.

Video Transcript for TruXedo Sentry Hard Tonneau Cover Manufacturer Demo

The Sentry and Sentry CT by TruXedo are hard roll up style truck bed covers that feature an extra low profile.The Sentry comes with a leather grain vinyl fabric and the Sentry CT comes with woven matte black fabric. Both feature fabric that is pressure bonded to heavy duty aluminum slats, making Sentry the ultimate in durability and security.Each cover ships with a cover assembly, driver and passenger side rails, and all the hardware necessary to install it on your truck. The only tools necessary are a half inch wrench and scissors.Clean the bulkhead area with alcohol. Adhere the rubber seal to the bulk head, making sure to align the seal with the inside edge of the bulkhead. Trim the seal to sit flush with the bed caps.Position one side rail on the truck bed. Make sure the rail sits level on top of the truck bed.

Slide the rail towards the bulkhead so that the foam seal is compressed about half way. Install a clamp in the center of the rail, using a half inch wrench to tighten.Install the real clamp about 12 inches from the tailgate. To ensure a proper seal, put pressure on top of the rail when tightening. Install the front clamp about 12 inches from the bulkhead. Repeat on the opposite side.Place the cover assembly on the rails at the bulkhead.

Line the screw head on the underside of the cover assembly with the slot in the rail on each side.Slide the header guides towards the rail to secure the rolled cover to the rails. The header guide will click when it is securely fastened.Unroll the cover to the tailgate. Close the tailgate. Then push down on the end of the cover to latch both sides. Secure the hook and loop on both side rails before driving.To open the cover, drop the tailgate and pull down on a release cable.

Lift and roll rear header.To drive with the cover in the open position, both straps must be secured to the restraining straps. To releasee the strap, push the tab up.The installation is now complete.

This cover fits very well, no flap at high speed. Smooth, flat profile. Positive locking mechanism, that works easily to open. Expensive, but worth every penny!

by: Tyler R08/16/2020

This cover has been great over the past year! Very durable and easy to use. Only gripe is removing it as the latches are difficult to operate, but I don't need to do that often.

by: Kevin02/26/2025

Super nice top at a screaming hot deal. So Happy, Thanks

by: Gerald 02/15/2020

Easy installation. Looks great.

by: Len 07/25/2022

Easy to follow instructions, done in 45 minutes. The role is heavy, especially if ya have longer bed, mine being 5’7” was easier. Looks great, very happy.

by: Leigh01/27/2022

I had to return the cover because turns out my box on my pick up wasn’t square then by the cabin was wider than the far end so the Tonnele cover kept falling through and I never could get it installed properly so I had to send it back I did get a partial refund but overall I lost over $150 on the transaction
My advice is make sure your box is square.

by: Robert C04/16/2020

The quality of this product is very good. It fits perfectly on my Ram 2500 short bed. Admittedly, it took longer than I expected to install it but that was my fault. It helps to have two people working on it together. Once installed it worked exactly as advertised. Yes, I would recommend this item to a friend.

by: Jan07/29/2021

Installation was simple and the cover has held up well. It provides protection to everything under it, just as we expected. We would buy it again!

by: Marvin C02/11/2024

This is the second Tuxedo tonneau cover that I have had. My current truck has a drop in bed liner which makes for a tighter fit, but it looks good, seems to be solid, and is simple to open and close

by: Bradley 04/24/2023

I installed it after watching YouTube and it was quite easy! It was hard to lock at first but then I moved the rear clamps closer to the end/clips and it now locks without hitting the top. Wind does not vibrate it at all. Ran it thru the carwash and minimal water was in the bed-coould've been I didn't press down on the velcro sides to really seal it. Happy with quality!

by: Steven B07/14/2022

I am still loving my cover. No one has tried to break it open to see what is inside. You have to open the Tailgate to get to the release straps. My son and I installed it fairly easy. Just a matter of lining everything up. Perfect for someone in Construction. My friend from long time ago has had his expensive tools stolen 2 times. So do not say the cover is too expensive!

by: Bruce 09/07/2023

I'm 80 years old and with help from my 73 year old wife, quite easily installed our new TruXedo Sentry hard roll up cover in under an hour. The product arrived well packed with all components easily identifiable. This is the neatest tonneau cover I've owned. It is solid, well designed and open and closes with little effort. It also looks great on my '23 Ram.

by: Carolyn11/01/2025

Fits nice with Ran boxes.

by: David 09/26/2022

With a minor addition the six and one-half cover works well with a cross-box toolbox in my truck's eight foot bed. It also rolls back to allow access for the fifth-wheel hitch when I need that to haul our 5th-wheel trailer.

by: Joe12/18/2023

Great Product. Relatively easy install. Looks amazing.

I love this tonneau cover. The only reason it's 4 stars is that on installation, one of the tie down straps broke. TruXedo immediately replaced it. In the first month, the lip over the tailgate started peeling. TruXedo immediately sent me a second tonneau cover, free of charge. Now I have a spare. Even though I've had a couple of issues, this thing is awesome and sturdy. TruXedo's customer service has been amazing.

by: Steve02/14/2026

love the way it fits and looks. was easy to install. MY DAUGHTER AND i HAD IT ON IN LESS THAN 25 MINS.

by: Tammy04/05/2026

Perfect fit. Looks great.

by: David02/23/2024

Overall this hard cover has held up very well. Provides greater access to truck bed versus folding covers.

This cover installed easily with a little help from my 18 yr old son. I opted for the vinyl (Sentry) over the fabric (Sentry CT) and I don’t regret that choice at all. The cover fits snug and gives truck a nice clean/sleek look. Only thing that was a minor issue was no primer/adhesion promoter is included. We will see if the seal provided stands up without it. I do have the factory spray on bed liner so I was expecting to see a little kit included. Otherwise, the cover is perfect!

Finally found a bed cover to fit my Nissan Frontier PRO 4X with factory utility rails .... pros at e-trailer provided the exact model I needed ... easy install, no issues.
Note: when working alone, close the tailgate and locate the side rails in place by compressing the rubber seals at each end of the rail. This holds the rail in place making clamp install very easy. This process also assures that holes are in alignment for cover installation...

The package received was previously opened before, it is likely a returned item, the hardware and brackets are missing. I hope e-trailer is going to help getting a new unopened complete set.
Disappointing!

by: Allan05/16/2024

Just love this Truxedo Sentry on my truck. It makes items in the bed of the truck way more secure than the canopy I had. So happy with my purchase!

I’m very happy with this cover. It fits well, rolls up easily when needed and does a great job of keeping my cargo safe and dry.

by: James03/11/2026

So far so good. Installation instructions were clear. It take my a while to do the final adjustments at the tailgate so that it would lock. That being said, once I did that, operation is easy and I love how solid this roll up is.

Tonneau Cover Recommendation for 2019 Honda Ridgeline that Allows Trunk to Open Completely
I have a tonneau cover solution for your 2019 Honda Ridgeline that is going to allow you to fully open your truck but it's not the Truxedo Sentry either as the rails would interfere. Instead you'd want the Extang Trifecta 2.0 part # EX92590 which folds up and doesn't require a rail to install on the bed rails.

Hard Tonneau Cover Options for 2019 Honda Ridgeline With Speakers in Bed
Since your 2019 Honda Ridgeline has speakers in the bed I strongly recommend going a different direction than the Extang EnCore because there is no way to guarantee you can drill through that bed for the drain hose without damaging the speaker wires. The best option by far is going to be a tonneau cover that has seals and no drain hoses that require drilling into the bed of your '19 Ridgeline. A great option at a similar price is the BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK39602 which...

What do Brackets Look Like for TruXedo Sentry Tonneau Cover on 2020 Honda Ridgeline
I have added a photo for you showing the mounting brackets that are used for a 2020 Honda Ridgeline when installing the TruXedo Sentry Hard Tonneau Cover # TX1530601. You are correct they are different than the standard brackets as the brackets do install somewhat differently on this particular truck. In regards to the trunk on a Ridgeback, it will not be able to open all the way, though that is going to be true for any tonneau cover. The Sentry will sit at the same height as your Ridgeline's...
