Have you been thinking of outfitting your truck bed with a Tonneau bed Cover but just cannot quit justify the cost because you think there maybe better ways of spending your hard earn money.   Well, with the seemingly constant increases in gas prices, outfitting you truck bed with a Tonneau maybe one of the best investments you can made.  The bed cover don't just add style to the truck, it also provide major practical advantages.  Two of the most common bed cover practical uses include:

      Saving Gas - with a bed cover in place most folks typically see an increase in gas mileage. The truck bed acts as a large bucket preventing a smooth flow of air over the truck body especially the bed; instead of flowing, the air catches on the tail gate, which increases drag.  Adding  a tonno bed cover permits the air to flow evenly over the bed of the truck and greatly reduces the drag.  Recent studies by Ford suggest that a properly fitted bed cover can increase a truck's MPG by as much as 10%.  Other test such as those conducted by Western New England College's Department of Mechanical Engineers showed MPG increased by 8% with a bed cover. The Specialty Equipment Market Association tested 13 different bed cover on four trucks and they found that fuel efficiency increased by up to 7.8 percent with the bed cover.

      Protecting Cargo from the elements and Theft - most of the best covers are lockable (even the soft rollup cover and the vinyl cover types) everything in your bed is out-of-sight and secure from theft.  And, no matter what the weather conditions, you can store cargo in the truck bed knowing it will stay dry.

There are two basic types of bed covers: the soft cover and the hard cover. Both type of cover come in a variety of materials and configurations. Some of the most popular Covers are:

• Soft Covers - the most popular choice because they are cheap and easy-to-install.
• Fiberglass Covers - becoming the more popular bed cover
• Folding  Covers - made from heavy duty vinyl and allow complete access to any part of the truck bed
• Retractable  Covers - the most technically advanced

So without doubt, it seems outfitting your truck with a bed cover is a win-win proposition; you increase the overall value of your truck while at the same time saving yourself some fuel dollars.
