TruXedo TruXport Tonneau Cover – Ford F-150 298301
The TruXedo TruXport 298301 is engineered specifically for Ford F-150 trucks, delivering maximum bed protection without sacrificing access. This soft roll-up tonneau cover installs in minutes with no drilling required, using our patented Tru-Tension™ system to maintain a tight, weather-resistant seal in all conditions.
We built the TruXport with heavy-duty MaxTop™ fabric that stands up to rain, snow, UV exposure, and highway speeds. The dual-action Tru-Latch™ latches secure at the tailgate while integrated tension adjusters eliminate sagging over time.
Whether you're hauling tools to the job site or protecting weekend gear, this low-profile cover keeps your cargo dry and secure. The roll-up design provides instant full bed access when you need it, then secures flat against the cab when stowed.

MaxTop Fabric Construction & Weather Protection
The TruXedo TruXport tonneau Ford F-150 298301 features our proprietary MaxTop™ fabric—a tear-resistant vinyl material laminated over industrial-grade canvas backing. This dual-layer construction resists punctures from sharp cargo while maintaining flexibility in sub-zero temperatures.
Weather sealing happens at three critical points: tailgate, side rails, and cab. The hook-and-loop fasteners along the side rails compress against our powder-coated aluminum rails, creating a continuous barrier against water intrusion. At the cab, the stowed cover tucks under a low-profile header that diverts rain and snow away from the bed.
Installation & Fit for Ford F-150 Trucks
Model 298301 ships with vehicle-specific side rails pre-cut to match your F-150’s bed length. The clamp-on rail system requires no drilling or modification to your truck. Each rail features integrated C-channel track that the cover fabric slides into, with tension adjusters built into the rear corners.
Installation takes 20-30 minutes with basic hand tools. Position the rails flush with the bed edges, tighten the clamps at six-inch intervals, then attach the fabric using the included hardware. The Tru-Tension™ bow system self-adjusts as you roll the cover closed, maintaining consistent tautness from front to back.
Operating the Roll-Up Design
To open, release both Tru-Latch™ handles at the tailgate and roll the cover forward toward the cab. The fabric coils around a support bar positioned 12 inches from the bulkhead, secured with adjustable straps. Full bed access takes less than 30 seconds.
The roll-up design supports partial opening—secure the cover at any point along the bed rails using the integrated hook-and-loop strips. This feature lets you access front bed storage without exposing the entire cargo area.

Common Questions About the TruXport 298301
Yes, the TruXport 298301 is compatible with most drop-in and spray-in bed liners. The clamp-on rail system secures to the outer bed rail, which remains accessible with standard liners installed.
For bulkier drop-in liners with wide stake pocket covers, verify you have at least 1.5 inches of clearance above the bed rail. Some aftermarket bed caps or rails may require spacer kits, available separately.
Model 298301 corresponds to specific Ford F-150 cab and bed configurations. Check your truck's year, cab style (Regular Cab, SuperCab, or SuperCrew), and bed length (5.5-foot, 6.5-foot, or 8-foot).
Our online fit guide cross-references VIN data with TruXport model numbers. If you're unsure, contact our support team with your truck's year and configuration—we'll confirm compatibility before you order.
Yes, the TruXport design allows partial opening secured at any point along the bed rails using the hook-and-loop side strips. This lets you access cargo near the cab while keeping the rear bed covered.
For highway driving, we recommend either fully closing and latching the cover or rolling it completely forward and securing it with the cab straps. Partially open configurations may flutter or stress the fabric at sustained speeds above 55 mph.
The TruXport 298301 uses a multi-point sealing system—hook-and-loop closures along the rails, tailgate latches with rubber seals, and a cab header that diverts water. In normal rain and car wash conditions, the bed stays dry.
Extreme weather or pooling water may result in minor seepage at the tailgate corners—this is common with soft roll-up designs. For complete waterproofing, hard folding or retractable covers provide tighter seals, though they sacrifice the roll-up convenience.
The TruXport 298301 is compatible with low-profile crossover toolboxes that mount directly behind the cab, provided the toolbox height does not exceed the bed rail.
The cover must have clearance to roll forward and secure against the cab. Measure your toolbox installed height—if it sits more than 1 inch above the bed rail, the TruXport may not close properly. Side-mount toolboxes and wheel well boxes typically do not interfere with operation.
The TruXport 298301 ships with pre-cut side rails, MaxTop fabric cover with integrated bows, Tru-Latch™ hardware, tension adjusters, cab straps, clamps, and installation instructions. Everything needed for installation is in the box.
You'll need basic hand tools: a socket wrench or adjustable wrench for clamp tightening, and a Phillips screwdriver. No drilling, cutting, or special equipment required. Installation takes 20-40 minutes depending on experience level.
The TruXport 298301 includes a three-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship—fabric tears from manufacturing flaws, rail defects, and latch failures are covered.
Damage from improper installation, accidents, or normal wear (fabric fading, minor seam separation after extended use) is not covered. To file a warranty claim, contact our support team with photos and proof of purchase. Most claims are processed within five business days.
