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

Hybrid design rolls up aluminum slats

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

Low profile 15 degree angled rail

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.


Safety straps

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.


vinyl fabric with weather seals

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.


Slam latches fasten at tailgate

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.


Additional Security Latch

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

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.


self-leveling design

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.


Quick-release guide locks on rail

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.


Sealed and secured cover

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.

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.



by:

Was easy to install. Fits perfect and looks great. Sturdy enough. Time will tell if it holds up.



by:

Everything from order to delivery was spot on ...as usual.



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:

Really great cover. It looks just like it did when I installed it a year later. It is easy to remove for when I need to haul larger items like my motorcycles. Does a good job at keeping the rain out as well.

Only issue is the latches by the tail gate don't always retract so I have manually push them back in when closing the lid. I guess the spring is a bit weak.



by:

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!



by:

Arrived pretty quickly, went together without a hitch.



by:

Easy to install. Looks great, and doesn't flap in the wind.



by:

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.



by:

Easy to install and looks great!



by:

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).



by:

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.



by:

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.

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover And Ladder Rack Combo For A 2019 Ford F-150 5.5' Bed
    Hey Colin, Both the TruXedo Sentry CT Hard Tonneau Cover # TX1597716 and BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK39ZR are essentially the same cover with just some minor aesthetic differences. Both operate exactly the same and sit on the bed the same way. If I had to choose between the two I'd go with the TruXedo Sentry CT Hard Tonneau Cover # TX1597716 because it sits closer to the edge of the bedrails so you're not losing extra space for the rails. This cover can be paired with the...

  • What Ladder Rack Works With My TruXedo Sentry CT Tonneau Cover And My 2022 Ford F-150
    The TruXedo Sentry CT Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum, Polyester, and Vinyl - Matte Black, part # TX1597716, leaves the stake pockets of your 2022 Ford F-150 uncovered. Unfortunately, we do not offer a Yakima ladder rack that attaches to your vehicle via the stake pockets, with or without an adapter. We do offer ladder racks that install via stake pockets. My favorite is the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs, part # TH43002XT-501. This ladder rack is adjustable....

  • Ladder Rack with the TruXedo Sentry CT Tonneau Cover # TX1597716 on a 2021 F-150 Short Bed
    I have a great ladder rack and tonneau solution for you. However, Adarac does not make an M-Series ladder rack that is compatible with a 5-1/2 foot bed on a 2021 Ford F-150. With that being said, a great alternative is the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A86RR (matte black) or # A4000964 (silver). While this rack sits higher than the M-Series on your vehicle, the Pro Series comes with the same fully adjustable bases that you can position anywhere along the bed. Also,...

This combination is designed to work together without having to modify your bed rails for a rack that attaches to the bed stake pockets.

  • Option For Quiet Tonneau Cover on 2020 Ford F-150 With 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    Sorry to hear about the noise, and that is one issue that can occur with a soft tonneau cover on occasion, and we do have some options like the Sentry covers you mentioned that are all within the same price range that won't have the flapping noises you are hearing. Each of the following will fit your 2020 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 foot bed: - TruXedo Sentry Hard Tonneau Cover # TX1597701 - TruXedo Sentry CT Hard Tonneau Cover # TX1597716 - BAK Revolver X2 Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK39329 These...

  • Will The TruXedo Sentry CT Tonneau Cover Fit A 2023 Ford F-150 With Ford Molded Bed Liner
    As long as your bed liner leaves access to the inner lip of the bed rails you'll be able to install the TruXedo Sentry CT Hard Tonneau Cover # TX1597716. From what I can see some leave plenty of room on the lip to get the clamps for the cover's rails and others end up blocking the lip. If yours blocks the lip you can just trim holes where the clamps need to go in order to get the cover installed and still keep the liner.
