If you own a truck, you have likely thought about adding a tonneau cover to the rear bed. One of the primary benefits is that it can protect tools, camping equipment, or other items from the elements.

However, there are some potential drawbacks to acquiring a tonneau cover such as the fact that there may not be one that is compatible with your truck. Adding a cover can also mean adding more weight to your vehicle, which can result in reduced fuel efficiency, which can add to the cost of owning your truck.

Of course, when properly installed, it can provide an almost impenetrable layer of security for your valuables. Therefore, it may be worth dealing with the extra costs in exchange for keeping your expensive tools or sports equipment safe.
