Features to know about

Full Bed Use: Roll-Up Hybrid Design

You don’t have to pull this cover off to haul taller cargo. The Sentry rolls up in seconds, thanks to its 3/4" thick aluminum slats that flex with the premium vinyl top. Safety straps keep it secure at the cab, and it stays low enough not to block your rear window or third brake light. When you need the whole bed, just unlatch and roll—it’s that quick.

Strong and Weather-Ready: Aluminum Slats with 5-Layer Vinyl Fabric

Hail, heat, or heavy rain—this cover is built to handle it. The 5-layer woven polyester and vinyl fabric resists UV rays, dirt, and temperatures from -40°F to 120°F. Underneath, the black 3/4" thick aluminum slats hold up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight, giving you serious strength without losing flexibility. The leather-grain finish keeps its clean look through all seasons.

Streamlined Look: Ultra-Low-Profile Rails

The side rails mount at a 15-degree angle, so the cover sits just 1/2" above the bed for a clean, flush style. The design cuts wind drag and noise, helping with fuel economy while keeping the truck lines smooth. The blacked-out aluminum and vinyl combo looks sharp rolled out or rolled up.

Secure and Simple: Slam Latches and Mid-Bed Locks

When it’s closed, your gear is locked down. Slam latches at the tailgate and additional mid-bed latches automatically secure the cover, so you don’t have to reach into the middle of the bed. Used with a locked tailgate, the cover keeps your cargo protected from prying hands. Rubber seals run along the rails to help keep dust and water out.

Effortless Install: Clamp-On, Self-Leveling Rails

No drilling, no guessing. The rails clamp inside the bed and automatically square themselves as you tighten them. That self-leveling setup makes sure the cover rolls out smoothly and evenly every time. Since the rails mount inside the bed, the stake pockets stay open for racks or tie-downs. And if you ever need to remove the cover, the quick-release guides let you take it off in seconds without tools.

by:

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:

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:

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



by:

Easy installation. Looks great.



by:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

Fits nice with Ran boxes.



by:

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:

Great Product. Relatively easy install. Looks amazing.



by:

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:

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



by:

Perfect fit. Looks great.



by:

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



by:

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!



by:

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...



by:

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:

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.



by:

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!



by:

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:

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

  • Fit of TruXedo Sentry CT Tonneau Cover and Thule TracRac SR Ladder Rack On 2020 Ford F150
    Because the mounting rails for the Truxedo Sentry CT # TX1597701 Tonneau Cover sit inboard of the bed sides leaving the tops of the bed sides free, it would indeed be compatible with the Thule TracRac SR ladder rack, part # TH43002XT-508.
