Many covers make you choose between a soft roll-up that’s easy to use and a hard cover that’s more secure. The TruXedo Sentry CT combines both. It uses 3/4" thick aluminum slats under a premium 5-layer woven polyester and vinyl fabric to deliver hard-cover strength with soft-cover convenience. You can roll it up in seconds using the release cables at the tailgate, then lock it down with slam latches for solid protection. With a 400-lb evenly distributed weight capacity, it can handle tools, gear, or luggage without flexing.
Bulky covers can stand out or create drag, but the Sentry CT keeps things clean. The side rails sit at a 15-degree angle so the cover rides just 1/2" above the bed. That low stance blends with the truck’s lines while cutting down wind noise and drag. The all-black aluminum slats and matte finish fabric create a uniform, “blacked-out” look that stays sleek whether rolled up or closed.
Some hard covers have to be removed completely to haul tall or oversized cargo. With the Sentry CT, you just roll it up. The cover secures neatly at the cab with built-in safety straps, staying low enough not to block the rear window or third brake light. If you want to take it off entirely, the quick-release guides let you remove it in seconds without tools.
Weather can ruin a soft cover fast, but the Sentry CT’s fabric is built to handle it all. The 5-layer polyester and vinyl top shields against UV rays, rain, snow, and dust while staying flexible in extreme temperatures from -40°F to 120°F. The heavy-duty construction keeps the slats aligned for smooth rolling and resists fading or sagging over time. Rubber seals along the edges keep water and debris out so your gear stays clean and dry.
Installing a tonneau can be a hassle if the rails don’t line up right. The Sentry CT’s clamp-on side rails make setup easy with no drilling required. Built-in lips keep the rails square as you tighten the clamps, so the cover rolls evenly every time. The in-bed mount leaves stake pockets free for tie-downs and racks, and the rails only protrude 3" into the bed from each side, keeping space for your cargo.

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.

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.

Sorry to hear all that, Garvin. We don't have matte black paint that we can ship out to you, but we can credit you $15 to purchase some locally if that would work. Just let me know if you want to proceed in this way.
