TruXedo TruXport Tonneau Cover 298101
Our TruXport soft roll-up tonneau cover provides secure, weather-resistant protection for your truck bed without sacrificing easy access. This model 298101 features a durable vinyl fabric paired with heavy-duty aluminum side rails that install quickly with clamp-on hardware—no drilling required.

The low-profile design improves aerodynamics and fuel efficiency while protecting cargo from rain, snow, and UV damage. We back every TruXport cover with our commitment to quality construction and straightforward installation.

Construction & Weather Protection
The TruXport 298101 uses industrial-grade vinyl fabric tensioned across powder-coated aluminum rails to create a weather-tight seal over your truck bed. The fabric resists tearing and punctures while maintaining flexibility in extreme temperatures from -40°F to 180°F.
Our dual-seal system combines a front bulb seal with side rail weather stripping to prevent moisture intrusion during heavy rain and car washes. While no soft tonneau cover is completely waterproof, the truxedo truxport tonneau cover 298101 keeps cargo dry under normal driving and weather conditions.
Installation & Truck Bed Compatibility
The truxedo truxport tonneau cover 298101 installs with our patented clamp-on rail system—no drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications to your truck bed. Most owners complete installation in 20-30 minutes using basic hand tools.
This specific model number fits certain makes, models, and bed lengths. Before ordering, verify your truck’s exact year, bed size (short bed, standard bed, or long bed), and whether you have factory bed rails or stake pockets. The TruXport works with most drop-in bed liners, spray-in liners, and bare truck beds.
Roll-Up Operation & Bed Access
The TruXport’s EZ-Roll tensioning system lets you roll the cover open from the rear in seconds without removing any components. Release the dual latches at the tailgate, roll the fabric forward toward the cab, and secure it with integrated straps and buckles.
Unlike hard folding covers, our soft roll-up design gives you infinite adjustment—open just the rear section for small cargo or roll the entire cover forward for oversized loads. The fabric retracts smoothly without binding or bunching, even after years of use in dusty or muddy conditions.

Common Questions About the TruXport 298101
The 298101 model number is designed for specific truck makes, models, years, and bed lengths. Before ordering, verify your truck's exact specifications including cab style and bed size (short, standard, or long bed).
Check your truck's bed length in feet and whether you have existing bed rails or stake pockets. Most TruXport covers work with trucks that have factory bed caps removed and standard bed rail configurations. If you're unsure about fitment, measure your bed length from the inside of the bulkhead to the inside of the tailgate.
The TruXport 298101 is highly water-resistant but not 100% waterproof like a hard cover. The vinyl fabric and dual-seal weather stripping system keep cargo dry during rain, car washes, and normal driving conditions.
In extreme weather like heavy storms or pressure washing directly on seams, minimal moisture may enter. For maximum protection, avoid storing items that cannot tolerate any dampness. The cover performs best when properly tensioned and when clamps are checked periodically for tightness.
Yes, the TruXport installs with basic hand tools and requires no drilling or permanent modifications. Most truck owners complete installation in 20-30 minutes following the included instructions.
You'll need a Phillips screwdriver and 10mm and 13mm wrenches or sockets. The rails clamp directly onto your bed rails, and all hardware is included. Having a second person to help align the rails initially makes installation easier but isn't required. The cover arrives pre-assembled with fabric already attached to rails.
The TruXport 298101 is compatible with most drop-in bed liners, spray-in liners, and bare truck beds. The clamps adjust to accommodate different bed rail thicknesses created by liners.
For toolboxes, the TruXport cannot be used simultaneously with a full-width toolbox behind the cab, as the cover needs to roll up and secure in that space. Low-profile side-mount toolboxes may work depending on your specific configuration. Measure clearances before ordering if you have existing bed accessories installed.
Clean the cover every few months with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, petroleum-based cleaners, or abrasive brushes that can damage the vinyl.
For tough stains, use a vinyl cleaner designed for automotive or marine applications. Apply a vinyl protectant twice per year to maintain UV resistance and prevent fading. Lubricate the rail system and latches annually with silicone spray to ensure smooth operation. Check clamp tightness after the first month and seasonally thereafter.
When rolled up behind the cab, the TruXport occupies approximately 12 inches of bed space, leaving the rest of your bed accessible. Many truck owners successfully use soft roll-up covers with fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitches by rolling the cover open during towing.
However, you cannot leave the cover closed over a fifth-wheel hitch or gooseneck ball. Measure your specific hitch clearances to confirm the rolled-up cover won't interfere. For frequent towing, you'll need to roll and secure the cover each time, which takes about 30 seconds.
We back the TruXport with a comprehensive warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The vinyl fabric is warranted against tearing, cracking, and UV damage, while the aluminum frame and hardware are covered against bending or corrosion under normal use.
Warranty details and duration are included in your package. Damage from accidents, improper installation, or failure to maintain the cover per instructions is not covered. Register your cover after purchase to activate warranty protection and keep your proof of purchase for any future claims.
