Black Friday Blowout!

Black Friday Blowout!

With the up and coming holiday season looming ever nearer, and Black Friday weekend approaching, we are offering a huge blowout on tonneau covers across the board! It's more of a Black Friday week at Auto Truck Depot, because starting at midnight tonight and running until December 1st we are offering 10% nearly every single tonneau cover on our website!

Included in our Black Friday Week sales are the Rockstar Splash Guard Mud Flaps, and the Roctection and Roxter Hitch Mounted Mud Flaps! With winter rolling in, the roads are covered in gravel and salt, and both can do major damage to your vehicle's undersides if you aren't protected. Plus, mud flaps are a legal requirement in many places, so cover your rear while the price is at its lowest.

With the largest selection of tonneau covers in Canada, from Access to Undercover, we've got something for everyone. Are you shopping for a gift to give a loved one this holiday season? Maybe you're rewarding yourself for a year of hard work. Whatever the occasion, this is the best time to buy a new tonneau cover.

But that's not even everything yet. On top of the ten percent off, if you purchase a UnderCover Ridglander by December 31 2017, you'll get to choose between a FREE 4 Ski Carrier or Luggage bag from Rhino Racks! Ridgelander isn't the cover for you? The UnderCover Flex tonneau cover comes with a free Tailgate Pad if you purchase one before November 30th!

Not only that, but until December 14th, we are also offering 10% off all Husky Liners products! Winter is hard on your vehicle inside and out, and Auto Truck Depot wants to help you keep your truck in the best shape possible for as long as possible. Guard your carpeting from mold, rot, and mildew by putting a Husky Liners mat between the floor and your snow and mud covered boots.

Another great gift idea this holiday season is a Remote Car Starter. Nothing is worse than getting up early for work in the morning and having to run out into the cold to start a frozen car. Instead, enjoy a relaxing morning, eat a healthy breakfast, all while warming up your vehicle remotely.

Unlike our competitors, our remote starter prices include everything, with no fees or charges to be tacked on after. That means that our listed price includes all of the parts and labour for our professional installation technicians to get your new starter installed properly, safely, and quickly.

Auto Truck Depot is your Canadian source for the highest quality truck and automotive accessories at the best prices. If you find a price in Canada that's better, we will match it!

BAKFlip vs Extang, Which is Better?

A tonneau cover provides various benefits to your pickup truck that I’m sure you’re aware of. A well made tonneau cover can add security and protection to your truck bed, improve gas mileage, and will undoubtedly add to the look of your ride. If you’ve come this far, I’m assuming you’re weighing the pros and cons of a few covers and trying to decide what’s best for you. If this is right, let me help you out by comparing two of the biggest names in the tonneau cover industry; BAKFlip and Extang—and then I’ll let you decide.

BAKFlip

BAK Industries is known for designing top-of-the-line hard tri-fold tonneau covers, which can be seen with their most popular product line, BAKFlip. These covers are designed for maximum durability, functionality and style. By adding a BAKFlip cover to your vehicle, you are guaranteed security. BAKFlip tonneau covers are available in aluminum and fibreglass, and they all provide full truck bed access by folding up to the cab of your truck. If you are looking for a top quality hard folding tonneau cover, BAKFlip is the cover for you.

Extang

Extang offers a wide range of tonneau covers for any budget and need. There are various tonneau cover styles available from Extang such as soft roll-up, soft tri-fold or hard tri-fold. If you are looking to purchase a vinyl cover, or are faced with a budget, an Extang tonneau cover might be what you are looking for. Extang tonneau covers are available in aluminum, fibreglass and vinyl—and each cover is made with high quality materials and craftsmanship.

Which one to choose?

Both BAKFlip and Extang make exceptional tonneau covers, which makes choosing one over the other difficult. There are, however, a couple differences that might help with your final decision.

1. Price: Both BAKFlip and Extang make top quality tonneau covers, but Extang has a wider range, with more available to those with a budget.
2. Styles Available: If you’re looking for a quality hard tri-fold cover, both Extang and BAKFlip have the best, but Extang has more to choose from with various soft vinyl tonneau covers.

Your choice may be determined by price, style or personal preference. Take some time and browse our selections of BAKFlip and Extang tonneau covers, and if you still can’t decide, give us a call and we’ll help you out.

Rundown: BAK Revolver X2

The BAK Revolver X2 is a part of a unique class of tonneau cover that fits perfectly into two worlds. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of models available, and the Revolver is one of two that have made it on to Tonno Cover Depot. That class of tonneau cover is the Hard Roll-Up. Despite being few and far between, Hard Roll-Up Tonneau covers are potentially the most versatile of all tonneau covers. In this blog I'll walk through the benefits of the X2 to give you a better idea of what they're all about.

The greatest asset of the X2 is its compact size. Just like a Soft Roll-Up Tonneau, the Hard Roll-Up Covers roll into themselves to secure right behind your cab. The roll is a little thicker than the soft covers because of the hard construction, but they still allow you great visibility out your rear window when they're closed, if you need to drive that way. The X2 is constructed from aluminum, which means you don't need to worry about puncture damage like you do with soft top covers. It also means your truck bed is more secure against break ins and can support  up to 400 pounds of evenly distributed weight on top.

The roll can be performed easily by one person, with one hand even, so accessing your truck bed is a breeze. The X2 also installs quickly and easily, so you can be ready to go right away. Because of its roll up engineering, most extra large cargo can still be hauled in your truck bed without an issue, but if you do need to take it off to make something fit, it's simple. With no drill, no modification installation, you can put it on a leased vehicle or work truck, and you can switch from one truck to another relatively easily.

The BAK X2 have a unique locking block and rail system to help secure your truck bed. As you unroll the cover locking blocks along the cover engage the rotational locking rails. This means that as you roll the cover down, each segment locks, providing an exceptional seal against moisture and dirt. It also means that when you're driving, the cover will be sucked tight to prevent damage to the top and keeps it from coming loose.

Once the cover is secured, it can be released from either side with a quick release pullstring when the tailgate is open. With the tailgate closed, you won't be able to open the cover, securing it against thieves, especially when the tailgate is locked. When closed, the cover sits nearly flush to the top of your bed rails, giving it a sharp low profile look that is stylish and can improve your fuel economy.

If you're looking for a cover that's quick, easy to use and compact, yet still very durable, the BAK Revolver X2 is a great choice for you. It's great for those hauling fifth wheel trailers, or often find themselves hauling a wide variety of cargo. For more information, or to order please contact us at:

How To: Measuring Your Truck Bed for a Tonneau Cover

Before purchasing a tonneau cover or other truck bed accessories, it's extremely important to know the size of your truck bed. It's not as straight forward as checking the advertised length, though. The process of finding the actual bed size of your truck is a commonly asked question, so today I will be giving you the information necessary to get the right number.

When measuring your truck bed, you must measure from the bulkhead to the inside of the tailgate. Measure flush against the inside walls of your truck bed straight across from the bulkhead to the tailgate. Note that it is from inside to inside. *See image for example.

Note: Keep in mind that the advertised truck bed length is rounded from the actual measurement and may be off slightly. This example table shows the actual size in inches compared to the advertised length in feet/inches. 

Bed Size Measurement Comparison Chart (for Example Only)

MAKE	BED TYPE	ACTUAL BOX SIZE (Inches)	ADVERTISED LENGTH
Dodge Ram	Short Bed	67.4"	5' 7"
Dodge Ram	Standard Bed	76.3"	6' 4"
Dodge Ram	Long Bed	96.3"	8'
Ford F150	Short Bed	67.1"	5' 7"
Ford F150	Standard Bed	78.9"	6' 7"
Ford F150	Long Bed	97.6"	8' 2"
Ford F250	Short Bed	81.8"	6' 10"
Ford F250	Standard Bed	98.0"	8' 2"
Ford F350	Short Bed	81.8"	6' 10"
Ford F350	Standard Bed	98.0"	8' 2"
GMC Canyon	Short Bed	62.7"	5' 3"
