Specs:
This hybrid-style cover combines the benefits of a hard tonneau and a soft tonneau into one. It opens faster and removes easier than a hard tonneau. The premium, 5-layer woven polyester and vinyl fabric over aluminum slats provides better protection for your cargo when compared with a standard soft cover. The tonneau rails have 15-degree angles for an ultra-low-profile look, and safely latches at the tailgate and the midway point of your truck bed provide enhanced security for your gear.
Strong, Convenient Hybrid Design
This hybrid-style cover blends the durability and security of a hard cover with the flexibility and convenience of a soft cover. The 3/4" thick, hinged aluminum slats are strong enough to protect your cargo yet offer the flexibility to enable you to roll the cover up for full bed access in seconds. The fabric top over the slats provides a seamless look and helps to protect your bed and cargo from the elements.
Ultra-Low-Profile Design
The side rails are angled at 15 degrees so the cover sits just 1/2" above your truck bed to create a streamlined look. This aerodynamic design - when paired with a covered truck bed - also reduces wind noise and drag and helps to improve fuel economy.
Quick Truck Bed Access
To access your truck bed, simply pull one of the release cables at the tailgate to release the latches. There are cables on the driver's and passenger's side so you can open the tailgate from either side of your vehicle. The cover can then be rolled up in seconds to store at the cab. This allows you to haul large or tall cargo without the need to completely remove the cover.
To store the cover, roll it tight and secure it with the attached safety straps. Then, secure the ends of the safety straps to the retaining loops on the side of the rails.
You can remove the cover completely in seconds without tools. Simply slide the quick-release guides on the underside of the header away from the side rails to release the cover.
Durable and Stylish Construction
The premium, 5-layer polyester and vinyl fabric layer of the cover is resistant to UV rays and inclement weather. This state-of-the-art material has been tested to withstand extreme temperatures from -40 degrees to 120 degrees F. The material is highly resistant to dirt, and it will maintain a clean appearance more easily than a standard vinyl cover.
The black fabric top layer and all-black aluminum slats offer a "blacked out" look when the cover is rolled up. The strong, woven material keeps the slats perfectly aligned to ensure that the cover will roll up evenly every time. Standard soft covers can get lopsided as you roll them up.
The hybrid cover's weight capacity also matches many hard covers that do not conveniently roll up. It is strong enough to hold up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight when it's rolled out. The aluminum slats also protect your cargo from being damaged by hail and falling objects.
Enhanced Security
The hard aluminum slats of this cover provide better protection against theft when compared with a soft cover that can be cut open with a knife. There are slam latches and additional security latches to provide maximum security.
To secure your truck bed, press down on the corner ends of the cover to fasten the 2 slam latches at the tailgate. The latches will lock the cover to the vehicle when used in conjunction with a closed and locked tailgate.
There are additional security latches located at the mid-point of the bed. These latches lock automatically with the slam latches, so you won't have to crawl to the middle of the bed to lock them. These side rail latches prevent thieves from pulling up the cover and sticking their hands underneath to get into your truck bed.
Easy, Clamp-On Installation
The Sentry side rails mount to your truck bed rails with bolt-on clamps for an effortless, no-drill installation. These in-bed rails do not overlap your truck bed stake pockets, so you can still use the stake pockets to mount accessories such as tie-down anchors.
The side rails have built-in lips to make sure that they stay square with the bed rails as you tighten the clamps. This self-leveling design makes it easy to install the rails, and it ensures the cover rolls evenly every time.
Installing the cover assembly to the side rails is simple. Place the rolled-up cover on the rails near the bulkhead of your truck. Insert the screws on the leading edge of the cover into the screw holes on the rails. Then slide the quick-release guides on the cover assembly until they lock in place under the rails.
Unroll the cover completely, and close the tailgate. Push down on the end of the cover to make sure both slam latches lock. To prevent wind from lifting the cover, press down along the length of both rails before driving. This will secure the hook-and-loop fasteners to the rails.

Easy to install. Fits perfectly.
Awesome!!
Living at 5000ft I was concerned about the UV degradation, but haven’t seen any in a year. The form/fit/function on my 2018 F350 short bed is excellent and it doesn’t leak in rain or car washes. Great product.
Was easy to install. Fits perfect and looks great. Sturdy enough. Time will tell if it holds up.
Everything from order to delivery was spot on ...as usual.
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.
I love it! An instant upgrade for my 2010, F350 truck. Installation was easy-one man job. A bit heavy but I figure that means it's rugged and will last! I highly recommend the TruXedo Sentry hard tonneau cover. One of the best!
Arrived pretty quickly, went together without a hitch.
Easy to install. Looks great, and doesn't flap in the wind.
Love, love, love this cover. Great product that has performed as advertised. If you are considering a cover, this one should be on your short list.
Easy to install and looks great!
Easy to install, perfect fit for the new Tundra 22 6.5ft bed, looks awesome and it's super slim. Seems like it will also last a while.
Initially I thought I could have the rear seal flap on top of the tailgate, but it's much easer to open and close the gate without lifting the cover if it's 90deg folded won.
Rides nice when stored as well, though it does take a bit of space (bike tires do fit nice under the folded/rolled cover).
Very high quality product. When rolled out, the cover rubber gears did not stay in the track near the tail gate. Had to do some improvising (i.e. little cutting and filing) to get the cover to snap closed easily.
Excellent product...easy install...keeps equipment covered and out of elements...keeps everything dry, even when going through truck wash....More secure than the non-backed covers.
Build quality is great. Install instructions were accurate and clear. It looks fantastic. I'd recommend it. Also, etrailer was great to work with.
