MaxLife Fabric Construction & Weather Protection
The TruXedo TruXport tonneau cover 246601 features our proprietary MaxLife fabric engineered specifically for extreme temperature ranges and prolonged UV exposure. This industrial-grade material combines a woven polyester base with a marine-grade vinyl coating that resists tearing, punctures, and fading season after season.
Weather sealing is achieved through dual compression gaskets that run the full perimeter of the cover. The reinforced corners incorporate drain channels that direct moisture away from cargo, while the heavy-duty bow construction prevents water pooling during rain or snow. Every seam is double-stitched with UV-resistant thread to maintain structural integrity through thousands of open-close cycles.
Kappler Speed Clamp Installation System
We designed the TruXport 246601 with our exclusive Kappler Speed Clamp mounting system that eliminates drilling, cutting, or permanent alterations to your truck bed. The installation process requires only a standard Phillips screwdriver and takes most owners 20-30 minutes from box to finished installation.
Step-by-Step Assembly
The clamps attach directly to your truck’s bed rails using adjustable tension bolts that accommodate variations in rail width and profile. Position the side rails first, then secure the front header bar behind the cab. The integrated bow supports snap into pre-marked locations along the rails, maintaining proper fabric tension without guesswork.
Bed Access & Load Capacity
The roll-up design of the truxedo truxport tonneau cover 246601 provides unrestricted bed access when you need to haul oversized cargo. Simply release the dual latches, roll the cover toward the cab, and secure it with the integrated straps behind the front header bar. The entire process takes under 15 seconds and can be performed from either side of the truck.
When closed, the cover supports evenly distributed loads up to 400 pounds, making it compatible with roof-mounted bike racks, kayak carriers, and cargo boxes that utilize clamp-on mounting systems. The low-profile frame height (approximately 1 inch above bed rails) ensures compatibility with fifth-wheel hitches, gooseneck mounts, and most toolbox installations.
