Premium Materials & Construction
We built the TruXedo TruXport tonneau cover 298601 with MaxTrac vinyl—the same industrial-grade material trusted in commercial applications. This coated fabric withstands extreme temperatures from -40°F to 140°F without cracking or fading.
The aircraft-grade aluminum bows maintain tension across the cover surface, preventing sagging and water pooling during heavy rain. Every seam features double-stitched reinforcement with UV-resistant thread that won’t degrade under constant sun exposure.
Installation & Compatibility
The patented Speed Jaw clamp system eliminates drilling and permanent modifications to your truck. Each clamp adjusts to grip your bed rails securely, distributing tension evenly across the entire cover. You’ll complete installation in under 30 minutes with just a Phillips screwdriver and the included wrench.
This model 298601 is precision-engineered for specific truck bed dimensions and rail configurations. Before ordering, verify your truck’s year, make, model, and bed length to ensure proper fitment. The cover works with most stake pocket accessories and is compatible with bed liners.
Care & Maintenance Guidelines
Clean your truxedo truxport tonneau cover 298601 monthly with mild soap and water to remove road grime and prevent buildup. Use a soft-bristle brush for stubborn dirt, avoiding abrasive cleaners that can damage the vinyl coating.
Apply a vinyl protectant every 60-90 days to maintain water repellency and UV resistance. Focus protectant application on high-wear areas like the roll-up section and areas around the latches.

Common Questions About the TruXport 298601
Most customers complete installation in 25-35 minutes working alone. The Speed Jaw clamp system requires only a Phillips screwdriver and the included wrench—no drilling or permanent modifications needed.
We recommend reading through the complete instructions before starting and having a second person available to help with initial positioning, though it’s not required.
The TruXport 298601 is compatible with most drop-in and spray-in bed liners. The Speed Jaw clamps adjust to accommodate the added thickness of a liner against your bed rails.
If you have a bed liner with stake pocket covers, you may need to remove those covers in the clamp mounting areas. The cover works with both under-rail and over-rail liner designs.
The Sure-Seal weather stripping system creates a complete perimeter seal that blocks wind-driven rain and road spray effectively. While no soft tonneau cover is 100% submersion-proof, the TruXport keeps cargo dry in normal driving conditions and heavy rainstorms.
Water resistance depends partly on proper installation and tension adjustment. We recommend checking clamp tightness and seal compression during your first month of use.
Yes, the dual-latch system allows you to open just the rear section for quick access to items near the tailgate. For full bed access, simply release both latches and roll the entire cover forward, securing it behind the cab with the integrated Velcro straps.
The roll-up process takes about 10-15 seconds and doesn’t require removing any hardware or components.
Clean the cover monthly with mild soap and water, using a soft brush for stubborn dirt. Apply vinyl protectant every 60-90 days to maintain UV resistance and water repellency.
Inspect the weather stripping and clamp tension quarterly, tightening any loose hardware. Remove snow and ice buildup promptly in winter, and avoid rolling up the cover when ice is present on the fabric.
Every TruXport 298601 includes our 5-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty covers the vinyl fabric, aluminum bows, clamp system, and all hardware components.
Register your cover within 30 days of purchase to activate full warranty coverage. Normal wear from use, improper installation, or damage from accidents are not covered.
The low-profile aerodynamic design can improve highway fuel efficiency by reducing wind resistance in the truck bed. Many customers report noticeable improvements in MPG during highway driving, though actual results vary based on driving habits and truck configuration.
The cover also reduces wind noise in the cab and prevents cargo from shifting or flying out during transport, adding safety benefits beyond fuel savings.
