MaxTrac Vinyl Construction & Weather Sealing
The TruXedo TruXport tonneau cover 248901 features our MaxTrac vinyl, a tough yet flexible material engineered to withstand UV exposure, highway speeds, and temperature extremes. Unlike lighter fabrics that sag or tear, MaxTrac maintains its shape and tension season after season.
Sealed edges run the full perimeter of the cover, creating a barrier against rain, snow, and road spray. While no soft tonneau is completely waterproof, the TruXport 248901 significantly reduces moisture intrusion compared to open truck beds. The bow-style frame keeps the vinyl taut and prevents water from pooling during storms.
Tool-Free Installation & Rail System
No-Drill Clamp Assembly
Our installation process requires no drilling or permanent modifications to your truck. The TruXport 248901 uses a clamp-on rail system that attaches directly to your bed sides. You’ll tighten the clamps by hand using the included hardware—most installers finish in 20–30 minutes.
The aluminum side rails provide the foundation for the cover’s bow frame. Once clamped in place, these rails create a secure anchor point that withstands highway speeds and daily use. The rails sit low enough to maintain a clean appearance while providing structural support for the vinyl cover.
Fit Compatibility & Bed Specifications
The truxedo truxport tonneau cover 248901 is manufactured to fit specific truck makes, models, and bed lengths. Before ordering, verify your truck’s year, make, model, and exact bed length (typically short bed, standard bed, or long bed). Accurate measurements ensure proper side rail alignment and full tailgate clearance.
This cover works with most factory bed configurations, including trucks with spray-in bedliners, drop-in liners, and bare bed surfaces. The rail clamps adjust to accommodate slight variations in bed width caused by different liner thicknesses.

What people are saying
Common Questions About the TruXport 248901
Yes, the TruXport 248901 is designed to accommodate most spray-in bedliners and drop-in liners. The rail clamps adjust to fit bed widths that vary slightly due to liner thickness.
If your liner has exceptionally thick or textured side rails, you may need to adjust the clamp positioning slightly during installation. The included hardware provides enough adjustment range to ensure a secure fit on beds with or without liners.
The TruXport 248901 is highly water-resistant but not completely waterproof. The sealed edges and bow-style frame design significantly reduce moisture intrusion during rain and snow, keeping most cargo dry under normal weather conditions.
For complete waterproof protection, consider storing sensitive items in sealed containers or choosing a hard folding cover. The TruXport excels at protecting cargo from road spray, dust, and light to moderate precipitation.
Most truck owners install the TruXport 248901 alone in 20–30 minutes using only basic hand tools. The no-drill clamp system requires no drilling, welding, or permanent modifications to your truck bed.
The installation manual includes clear diagrams and step-by-step instructions. Having a second person can make positioning the side rails easier, but it’s not required. If you can use a wrench and follow written instructions, you can install this cover yourself.
Covering your truck bed with the TruXport 248901 can improve aerodynamics and potentially increase fuel efficiency by reducing drag. The low-profile design allows air to flow smoothly over the bed rather than creating turbulence in an open bed.
Actual mileage improvement varies based on driving conditions, speed, and vehicle type. Most users report modest gains of 1–2 mpg on highway driving, though results depend on individual driving habits and truck configurations.
Clean the TruXport 248901 every 4–6 weeks with mild automotive soap, warm water, and a soft brush or microfiber cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow the cover to air dry completely before rolling it up.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, petroleum-based products, and high-pressure washers that can damage the MaxTrac vinyl. Apply a vinyl protectant every few months to maintain flexibility and UV resistance, especially in harsh climates. Periodically check and retighten the mounting clamps to ensure proper tension.
The TruXport 248901 cannot be used simultaneously with toolboxes or bed caps that mount along the bed rails, as they occupy the same mounting space. However, the cover is compatible with most over-the-rail accessories like bike racks and kayak mounts.
Bed extenders that attach to the tailgate typically work fine with the TruXport when the cover is rolled up. If you have specific accessory compatibility questions, contact our support team with your truck model and accessory details for confirmation.
The TruXport 248901 rail system supports up to 500 lbs of evenly distributed weight when the cover is fully closed and secured. This capacity is suitable for light snow accumulation and occasional light cargo placed on top of the cover.
Do not stand, walk, or place concentrated heavy loads on the cover, as this can damage the vinyl fabric and bow frame. The cover is designed primarily to protect cargo inside the bed, not to serve as a load-bearing platform.
