Construction Materials & Weather Protection
We build the TruXedo TruXport tonneau cover 297701 using MaxTrac industrial-grade vinyl that stands up to years of sun exposure, rain, snow, and highway speeds. The fabric stretches taut over powder-coated aluminum bows that resist corrosion while maintaining flexibility in extreme temperatures.
The cover’s sealed edges create a weather-resistant barrier that keeps moisture, dust, and debris out of your truck bed during transport. While no soft tonneau cover is 100% waterproof, our overlapping design channels water away from cargo and drains naturally at the tailgate. The vinyl surface cleans easily with soap and water, maintaining its appearance through seasons of use.
Installation Process & Truck Compatibility
No-Drill Clamp System
The truxedo truxport tonneau cover 297701 installs using our proven clamp-on rail system that requires zero drilling or permanent modifications to your truck. The side rails attach directly to your bed rails using adjustable clamps that tighten with a standard wrench, creating a secure mount that won’t shift during highway driving.
Most truck owners complete installation in 20-30 minutes with basic hand tools. We include detailed instructions with the cover, and the modular design means you can remove the entire system just as easily if you need to restore full truck bed height for tall cargo.
Operating the Roll-Up Design
We engineered the TruXport with daily usability in mind. When you need full bed access, simply release the dual latches at the tailgate and roll the cover toward the cab. Heavy-duty Velcro straps secure the rolled cover behind the cab, keeping it out of the way while you load oversized items or access your entire bed.
The EZ-Dial tension control system on each side rail lets you fine-tune how taut the cover sits. Proper tension prevents sagging and wind flutter at highway speeds while ensuring smooth roll-up operation. Most users adjust tension once during initial installation and rarely need to modify it again.

Common Questions About the TruXport 297701
No, the TruXport installs using a clamp-on rail system that requires zero drilling or permanent modifications. The side rails attach directly to your existing bed rails using adjustable clamps that tighten with a standard wrench.
This means you can remove the cover completely if needed without leaving holes or damage. Installation typically takes 20-30 minutes and the clamps provide a secure mount that won't shift during normal driving.
The 297701 model number corresponds to specific truck year, make, model, and bed length combinations. Before ordering, check your truck's exact specifications against our fitment guide to confirm compatibility.
Most TruXport covers work with trucks that have standard bed rail heights and configurations. If you have aftermarket bed caps, extreme bed liners, or custom modifications, contact us to verify fitment before purchase.
Yes, the TruXport 297701 is compatible with most spray-in bedliners and drop-in liners. The clamp system adjusts to accommodate the additional thickness of most liner materials.
The cover also works with most Stake Pocket accessories and over-the-rail systems, though you may need to adjust placement depending on your specific setup. Tall bed caps or certain toolbox configurations may require modifications or alternative mounting solutions.
The TruXport is water-resistant rather than 100% waterproof. The vinyl fabric and sealed edges create a barrier that keeps out rain, snow, and road spray during normal driving conditions.
Water naturally drains at the tailgate, and the overlapping design channels moisture away from cargo. For complete waterproof protection of sensitive items, we recommend additional weatherproof storage containers inside the bed. The cover performs well in all weather but is designed primarily for general cargo protection rather than submersion-level sealing.
Installation requires only basic hand tools: a socket wrench or adjustable wrench for tightening clamps, and optionally a tape measure to verify rail positioning.
We include all necessary mounting hardware, clamps, and detailed instructions with the cover. No special tools, drilling equipment, or professional installation is required. Most truck owners complete the process in under 30 minutes working alone.
Yes, the roll-up design provides full bed access in seconds. Simply release the dual latches at the tailgate, roll the cover toward the cab, and secure it with the included Velcro straps.
You get complete access to the entire bed without removing the cover system. When you're done loading, unroll the cover back over the bed and re-engage the latches. This makes the TruXport ideal for users who frequently switch between covered and open bed configurations.
We back the TruXport with a 5-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This includes the vinyl fabric, aluminum frame, clamp system, and all hardware components.
The warranty protects against manufacturing defects, premature wear under normal use, and component failure. It does not cover damage from accidents, improper installation, or modifications. Keep your purchase receipt and register your product to activate full warranty coverage.
