Protect Your Truck and Your Cargo
(ARA) - Pickup trucks are the workhorses of vehicles. Have to slog through deep mud to your worksite? No sweat. Need to haul a big load? No problem.

But what if you want to keep your cargo safe from the elements or prying eyes? That’s where tonneau covers come in. They offer covered storage that provides protection for your truck bed and whatever’s in it. You can utilize your truck bed more fully, making full use of that space. A nice added benefit is the way tonneau covers enhance the look of your truck.

Tonneau covers also make your truck more aerodynamic, thanks to less wind resistance. Independent studies have shown that for this reason, using truck covers increases gas mileage -- an important consideration in light of escalating fuel prices.

Lund International, a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad line of accessories for all types of vehicles, has four types of Genesis brand bed covers, to fit every style and need.

The newest addition to the group is the roll up soft bed cover. This all-weather cover rolls up in seconds to allow complete access to the truck bed. The high quality, tear-resistant fabric and dual automatic latches make this the most secure soft cover on the market. Corner caps and front and rear rail seals provide protection from dust and moisture and unique adjustment gauges and tension control are built right into the latch to save time and provide easy, no hassle adjustment. “This cover gives your truck a clean, low profile,” says Lund spokesperson Jodi Moulzolf.

Another soft cover choice is the Genesis Hinged cover. Heavy duty gas struts provide quick, one-hand opening for complete and easy access to the truck bed. The unique Slam-N-Scram latch provides instant latching when closing the cover.

“The Seal & Peel snapless soft bed cover opens and closes more quickly than traditional snap covers,” says Moulzolf. The precision engineered cover and rails provide a perfect, no-adjustment fit, even in extreme climates. The integrated rear tailgate seal will not get knocked off like adhesive seals.

The sleek Snap soft bed cover features heavy duty bows and rails to prevent water and snow buildup as well as an integrated rear tailgate seal. Front corner snaps allow easy access to cargo behind the cab.

“All of our tonneau covers feature no drill installation,” says Moulzolf. “Most of the covers have premarked rails and heavy duty clamps and can be installed in 20 minutes or less using minimal tools.” The black covers provide a finished look for any truck, and come with a limited lifetime warranty.
