Most hard covers limit what you can haul, but this one rolls up in seconds without tools. The TruXedo Sentry CT uses 3/4" thick aluminum slats wrapped in a premium, 5-layer polyester and vinyl fabric. You just pull the tailgate release cable on either side, roll it toward the cab, and secure it with the built-in safety straps. Even rolled up, it stays compact so you keep rear window visibility and full use of the bed for tall cargo.
Rain, snow, and sun all test a cover’s durability. The Sentry CT’s industrial-strength leather-grain vinyl and woven polyester top layer protects against UV rays and harsh weather from -40 °F to 120 °F. Beneath that layer, the 3/4" thick aluminum slats support up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight. Together they form a hard-rolling surface that shields gear from hail, impact, and road grime while keeping a clean matte black look.
Bulky covers can break up a truck’s lines and whistle in the wind. This design sits just 1/2" above the bed rails with side rails angled at 15 degrees for a flush, streamlined profile. The low stance reduces wind drag and helps improve fuel economy while keeping noise down on the highway. The woven fabric keeps the slats aligned so the cover rolls evenly every time.
The Sentry CT locks down tight with integrated slam latches at the tailgate plus extra security latches halfway down each rail. When used with a closed and locked tailgate, those latches create a sealed, tamper-resistant bed space that keeps tools and gear protected. Rubber edge seals block dust and water so your cargo stays clean and dry even through storms or car washes.
Installing this cover doesn’t require drilling or guesswork. The rails clamp inside the bed using bolt-on brackets that automatically square themselves as you tighten them. That self-leveling design ensures the cover rolls out straight and seals evenly every time. Because the rails mount inside the bed caps, you still have access to stake pockets for racks or tie-downs without interference.

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.
