What is a load shield tonneau cover?
A load shield offers fully secure, aesthetically pleasing and easy to install coverage for your open truck bed. There are many advantages to incorporating a tonneau cover into your truck setup. It safeguards the truck bed, boosts security and safety no end, offers excellent weather protection, increases your truck’s storage capacity, and even delivers better fuel efficiency.
Should I go for a hard or soft cover?
There are several tonneau cover types to choose from, meaning you can personalise your truck bed to your exact requirements.
As well as deciding between a retracting, roll-up, trifold or solid design, deciphering whether a hard or soft cover is right for you is vital. We’ll let The Drive explain why hard tonneau covers have the edge:
“The big benefits of a hard cover are an increased resistance to weather, more secure storage against thieves, and the ability to have an extra storage deck. Not all hard covers are designed to bear weight, but some can carry a few hundred pounds. This opens up the usability greatly, allowing for dry storage in the bed and tall things to go on the cover, like bicycles.”
