What is the Weight Bearing Capacity of the Pace Edwards Switchblade's Aluminum Cover
Published 06/05/2021
Question:
I have a 2015 Chevy 1500 with an 8foot bed. I am interested in this cover but I have one concern. I live in New England and often in teh winter, we get consideratble amounts of snow. I didnt see a weight rating for this cover. Would this cover supports this addditional weight? Thanks for your help.

Expert Reply:
The Pace Edwards Switchblade # 311-SWC96A18 can support up to 200-lbs of weight dispersed across the tonneau, so the heavy New England snow won't be an issue as long as you don't let the snow pile up too high. That is the moving capacity, so there's going to be at least a little leeway, but as with most tonneau covers you won't want to let snow pile up for extended periods of time.
