Most hard covers make you choose between durability and convenience, but this one gives you both. The TruXedo Sentry CT combines 3/4" thick aluminum slats with a premium, 5-layer polyester and vinyl fabric top for a hard-shell strength that still rolls up in seconds. The slats are impact resistant and hold up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight, so you can still load gear on top. When you need full bed access, just pull either tailgate release cable and roll it forward. The attached safety straps secure it at the cab without blocking your rear window.
Keeping gear dry and protected is easy with this cover’s industrial-strength, leather-grain fabric. It’s built from woven polyester backed with vinyl and tested to handle temperatures from -40°F to 120°F. Rubber weather seals along the edges keep out rain, snow, and dust. The matte black finish resists UV damage and fading, so it stays looking clean in every season without needing much upkeep.
Some covers sit high and spoil the truck’s lines. The Sentry CT mounts to angled side rails that sit just 1/2" above the bed, giving it a streamlined look. Those 15-degree rails also help cut wind drag and noise, which can improve fuel economy on longer drives. The all-black slats and fabric blend together for a clean, uniform look even when rolled up.
For peace of mind, the Sentry CT locks down tight. Two slam latches at the tailgate automatically secure the cover when you press it closed, and mid-bed security latches lock simultaneously. Combined with a locked tailgate, the hard aluminum slats help keep thieves out. The dual release cables at the tailgate let you open it easily from either side when you’re ready to load up.
Installation doesn’t require drilling or special tools. The rails clamp inside the bed with bolt-on brackets that leave your stake pockets open for accessories. Built-in lips automatically square the rails as you tighten them, so the cover rolls evenly every time. And when you need to remove it completely, the quick-release guides let you lift it off in seconds.

After a year the cover is still looking great and working great. I wish I had purchased one of these when I purchased my truck, as it is nice to be able to securely store stuff in the bed of my truck.
