TruXedo TruXport Tonneau Cover
The TruXedo TruXport tonneau cover brings weather-resistant bed protection to your truck with a roll-up design that takes minutes to install. We built this cover with a durable soft vinyl material secured by a lightweight aluminum frame that clamps directly to your truck bed rails—no drilling required.
Whether you’re securing cargo from the elements or improving aerodynamics for better fuel efficiency, the TruXport delivers daily utility without the bulk of a hard cover. The low-profile design sits flush against your truck bed, maintaining your vehicle’s sleek lines while the dual latch system ensures the cover stays locked in place on highways and back roads alike.
- Soft roll-up vinyl construction with tension control for adjustable tautness
- No-drill clamp-on installation fits most truck bed rails in under 30 minutes
- Dual latching system with release cables for secure closure and easy bed access
- Weather seals along rails and tailgate block rain, snow, and road debris
- Low-profile aluminum frame adds minimal height to truck bed
Vinyl Construction & Aluminum Frame Design
We manufacture the TruXedo TruXport tonneau cover with marine-grade vinyl stretched across a powder-coated aluminum bow frame. The vinyl fabric resists tears and UV fading while remaining flexible in temperatures from -40°F to 180°F, so your cover won’t crack in winter cold or sag in summer heat.
The three-bow aluminum frame distributes tension evenly across the bed length, eliminating the pooling and sagging common with budget soft covers. Each bow measures 1 inch in diameter and locks into place with stainless steel fasteners that won’t corrode from road salt or moisture. The entire frame system weighs under 50 pounds, making solo installation and removal straightforward without sacrificing structural integrity.
Installation & Truck Bed Compatibility
The TruXport installs without drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications to your truck. The side rail clamps slide into position and tighten with a 9/16-inch socket wrench—most owners complete installation in 20 to 30 minutes using basic hand tools.
This tonneau cover fits full-size trucks with bed lengths from 5.5 feet to 8 feet, including popular models from Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Ram, Toyota, and Nissan. We design each cover for specific truck makes, models, and bed sizes, so you’ll order the exact fit for your vehicle year and configuration. The rail system accommodates most spray-in bedliners up to 1/4 inch thick and works with stake pocket tie-downs and fifth-wheel rails.
Security Features & Locking Mechanism
We equip the RealTruck TruXedo TruXport tonneau cover with a dual-side latching system that secures at both bed rails near the tailgate. Each latch engages a stainless steel striker mounted to the side rail, and you operate both latches simultaneously using pull cables accessible from outside the bed.
While the TruXport isn’t designed for high-security cargo protection like a hard folding or retractable cover, the dual latches prevent casual tampering and keep the cover from billowing open at highway speeds. The soft vinyl can be cut, so we recommend this cover for weather protection and concealing everyday gear rather than securing high-value tools or equipment overnight.

TruXport Tonneau Cover Questions
Yes, the TruXport is designed to accommodate most spray-in bedliners up to 1/4 inch thick. The side rail clamps adjust to fit over the added liner thickness without compromising the weather seal.
If your bedliner extends over the top of the bed rail (drop-in style), you may need to trim the liner edge or use spacer blocks to achieve a proper fit. We recommend measuring your bed rail height before ordering to ensure compatibility.
The TruXport is highly water-resistant but not 100% waterproof. The integrated weather seals block approximately 95% of moisture during normal rain and highway driving.
Heavy downpours, car washes, or standing water may allow minor seepage at the tailgate seal or side rail junctions. For complete waterproof protection, consider a hard folding or retractable tonneau cover with full perimeter seals.
Yes, most owners complete installation alone in 20 to 30 minutes using basic hand tools. The cover ships fully assembled—you only need to clamp the side rails to your truck bed and attach the front and rear bulkhead pieces.
The entire system weighs under 50 pounds, and the rails are designed for one-person handling. A second person can help with rail alignment, but it’s not required for a successful installation.
The TruXport is compatible with most fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitch systems when the cover is rolled forward and secured behind the cab. You’ll have full bed access for hitch installation and towing.
Some under-bed fifth-wheel systems may interfere with the side rail clamp placement. Check your specific hitch manufacturer’s clearance requirements before ordering, or contact us for a fitment consultation.
Each side rail includes tension adjustment bolts located near the front and rear of the rail. Use a 9/16-inch socket to loosen the bolt, slide the rail section forward to tighten the vinyl, then re-tighten the bolt.
We recommend checking tension every few months, especially after seasonal temperature changes. Proper tension prevents water pooling, flapping, and premature vinyl wear.
The TruXport includes a three-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty covers frame corrosion, vinyl tears not caused by misuse, and hardware failures under normal use.
The warranty does not cover damage from accidents, improper installation, extreme weather events, or normal wear from UV exposure. Register your cover within 30 days of purchase to activate full warranty benefits.
We do not recommend driving with the TruXport partially rolled open, as wind can damage the vinyl or cause the cover to detach from the frame. Always fully latch the cover closed or roll it completely forward and secure it behind the cab with the straps.
If you need partial bed access while driving, consider a folding tonneau cover that allows section-by-section opening.
