UnderCover Ultra Flex Tonneau Cover Rebate

As if you needed another reason to consider the UnderCover Ultra Flex tonneau cover! Purchase it before March 31, and you'll be eligible for a $75 dollar rebate! Already priced to save you money, Auto Truck Depot is excited to be able to offer you even more, for less!

What is the Ultra Flex?

Setting the bar forindustry standard, the Ultra Flex is a Hard Tri-Fold tonneau cover with a low profile, sleek design that is built to last. New from UnderCover, the Ultra Flex is an improved model from their standard Flex cover, featuring detail-oriented design that emphasizes style AND substance all in one, neat little package.

Let's start with the basics. The Ultra Flex is comprised of three, durable aluminum panels with a stylish matte finish. The aluminum construction means three things; it won't rust, it's lightweight and easy to handle, and it's durable. The underside of the panels is lined with a durable, carpet-like finish that both looks great and protects your cargo and your tonneau cover from scratches and other damage. With all of this guarding your truck bed, you can rest easy knowing your cargo is secure.

To top that off, full perimeter seals and specially designed water channels funnel rain and meltwater off of your cover and away from the truck, preventing pooling, water damage, and leakage. Your truck bed will stay dry in even the worst of weather. Plus, they can be operated from either side of the truck, so you don't need a second person or double the effort to open up your cover.

Ready to close up your bed and hit the road? You don't have to worry about difficult to use spring latches, ties, or snaps. Simply close the final panel firmly and UnderCover's slam latches with lock your cover in place. Once secured, your box is protected by a dual-action tailgate seal. That way, if you need to get in or out of your truck bed, you won't need to open up your cover. If it's raining or snowing, or your just in a hurry, you can get quick access to your cargo while keeping it covered and protected. 

Built in prop rods sit at the ready, so if you need to get full truck bed access, you can quickly fold the cover back and up against the back of your cab. Once secured, the props rods allow you to drive with the cover open, so you can fit furniture, off-road toys, or other large cargo in to your truck bed without needing to take the cover off. The rods clip in place out of the way when they're not in use. UnderCover's slam latches also allow you to lock the cover in partially open positions, offering versatile cargo space for both fragile and large loads.

UnderCover Accessories

So, what makes the Ultra Flex so Ultra? Sure, it's got all of the top of the line features, durability and longevity, and a sleek stylish look, but there are certainly other tonneau covers that have that too, right? This is partially true, but another great benefit to the Ultra Flex is the accessories that come included with it.

The built in dual rail LED lighting system is one of those accessories. Bright lighting with low power draw, and no need to change bulbs? What more could you ask for! Whether you're working late into the night, on your way into town from the country at the end of a day out, or you just need a little illumination to combat the shadows caused by the cover, UnderCover has your back. You'll be able to find your tools easier, perform finicky work, or play around with small cargo, all in plain view.

Designed to fill up the space around the wheel well that all too often goes unused, the Ultra Flex comes with storage saddlebags! If you've got small or fragile cargo that needs to stay out of the way of the rest of your load, or you're looking for a way to keep your bed, tools, and more organized, this is the way. 

With so much to offer, backed by a 5 year warranty, and at such a great price, you gotta check this one out! For more information, check out our website or drop us a line!

How To Get the Most Out of Your Truck Bed

There’s no denying that trucks are one of the most useful vehicles you can own. They can carry cargo, pull trailers, and transport passengers. The choice to own a truck often comes down to efficiency, and one of the primary benefits to having a truck is the bed. So, we suggest protecting your assets and maximizing the use of that soace

There are mountains of products available designed to accessorize your truck bed, the problem is wading through them to find the ones you need. In this article, I will help walk you through all of the potential problems that you could encounter and some of the best ways to avoid them and maximize the efficiency of your truck bed space.

Let’s start with some examples of common issues you may run into and some available solutions.

1. Your truck bed has been damaged from hauling cargo

This problem is not only aesthetic, but can accelerate damage beyond repair. Nicks and scratches in the protective coating can soon result in the spread of rust.

Solutions:

Truck Bed Mats

Truck bed mats are easy to install, cheap, and provide protection to the bottom of your truck bed and tailgate. The only downside to these is that the sides of your truck bed remain exposed.

Plastic Bed Plastic Liners

Plastic bed liners are quick and easy to install and provide full protection of your truck bed. They are made of high-density polyethylene, so they won't chip, crack, or fade during even the most extreme weather conditions. The liner’s one-piece construction provides additional protection against chemical leaks, since there are no seams or cracks. Take a look at our Bedliners.

Truck Bed Spray Liners

Spray liners provide a clean, permanent solution for protecting your truck bed. The Polyurethane Spray is applied to every mould and curve, providing a watertight seal, and the ultimate protection. Spray liners provide a textured, non-skid surface, and with no loss of cargo space.

      2. Your cargo is exposed to the elements

Covering your cargo and protecting it from the elements can be easy with a tonneau cover, and there are many types so suite your specific needs.

Solutions:

Soft or Hard Roll-Up Tonneau Cover

Roll-up tonneau covers are a great addition to your truck bed, allowing you to cover and protect the cargo being stored or hauled. They easily roll up, providing full access of your truck bed without removing the cover, and they look slick. Take a look at our Roll-Up tonneau covers.

These covers provide exceptional protection, they look great, and are easy to use. The tri-fold design allows for easy access. Many of these models are also insulated to protect your cargo from extreme weather conditions. Learn more about Tri-Fold Tonneau Covers.

One piece covers are solid, they protect your cargo, and they are easy to install. Once installed, they provide easy access to your cargo. Hard covers are by far the strongest of the bunch, but they do come with their own drawbacks. Find out about our Hard Top Tonneau Covers.

3. There’s no way to prevent theft

Solutions:

Tonneau Cover

Many Tonneau covers are designed with locking systems to protect your storage. Your cargo can be easily stored, locked and protected with the right cover. We have a large selection of Tonneau Covers to choose from.

Truck Boxes

Truck Boxes come in all shapes and sizes to meet your specific needs, and they are designed to hold and protect your belongings. Many of these boxes are designed with advanced locking systems and are constructed of tough aluminum. They come in all shapes and sizes to match any need.

4. Organizing your storage is difficult

Solutions:

Truck Boxes

Multiple lid truck boxes allow you to organize and store your cargo, provide security for your belongings, and allow for easy access. There are many different box styles and shapes to suite your specific needs, and to help you organize your belongings. Many of these boxes are even designed to utilize and increase storage space, such as the UnderCover SwingCase, made to fit over your wheel well.  

Tool Boxes

Tool boxes are a great way to enhance your storage by providing a secure, organized space for tools and other belongings. Many of these boxes are designed to increase otherwise unused spaces to leave you with as much room as possible.

Why You Want a Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover

Tri-Fold Tonneau Covers are a unique style of tonneau cover that feature three folding panels. They are one of the most popular styles of tonneau cover for several reasons. They are available in both hard and soft styles, and each has several benefits. I walk through each of these in detail to help you come to a decision that you be happy with.

Pricing

Pricing is always a key factor when purchasing a tonneau cover. Everyone has a budget, and everyone has expenses and it is important to know what is available to your for the purchase. Tri-Fold Tonneau covers vary in price, starting as low as $799.99 for the Lund Hard Tri-Fold Cover, reaching up to $2,799.99 for the BAKFlip CS-F1 Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover and Rack Combo. It is this wide range in pricing and options that really make the Tri-Fold Tonneau cover popular. It means, even a low budget purchase can still buy into the style. The wide variety in pricing also means a wide variety in options and features, which allow a wide range of versatility in your choice based on your specific needs.

Waterproofing

Tri-Fold Tonneau Covers are some of the most weatherproof tonneau covers available. This is partially because of their three folding panels. While retractable covers have to slide along rails and roll up covers are lightweight and velcro into place, there are a lot more possible places for leaks to occur. Likewise, due to their impermanent and compact nature, they do not have as effective of water shedding systems.

Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover panels have weight to them, and when they fold over they make a consistent, firm seal. This ensures that the edges of the cover are well protected against even small streams of water. Likewise, because of their larger profile and more permanent panel fixture, they are able to have built in water drainage passageways and tubes. This helps ensure watershed is quickly funneled off the top of the cover and away from your truck bed.

Security

Tri-Fold Tonneau Covers, most specifically the Hard Tri-Fold, are the most secure covers you can buy. This is because rather than just a soft roll top or a retractable cover with tonnes of joints, there are only three or four breaks in the surface of the top. Many of the hard tri-folds are also designed with extra security at the joints. The hinges feature elbows and interlinked connections so that a thief with a knife can't simply push straight through and pry the panel open. Many of them also come standard with key lock features, and the quick keyless entry latches are always located behind the tailgate, so that you can secure them that way.

Versatility

Tri-Fold covers often offer multiple locking positions so that you can haul a wide variety of cargo. If everything you're carrying is small and needs protection, you can simply lock the cover in a fully closed position. They can also be secured at one or two other partially open positions. This allows you to store small fragile cargo at the front of your truck bed covered, and still be able to carry large items at the back of your bed. The covers can also be quickly removed if you need to haul all large gear, like quads or large furniture loads. Some covers will even secure against the back of your cab to offer you a tonne of space without having to remove the cover.

Durable, weatherproof, versatile and long-lasting, the Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover style is very popular. They are easy to clean and care for and they are available in wide variety of price ranges, so that you can find the perfect cover for your budget and application!

Overview: Tri-Fold Tonneau Covers

Tri-Fold Tonneau Covers are a "best-of-both-worlds" cover. They are available in hard or soft folding styles, so you can get a cover that more accurately fits your needs. What is most unique about this style of tonneau cover is its fold-up 3-panel design. Because of the panel system, these covers are better sealed against weather and harder to break into than some other cover styles, as they have fewer weak points. 

The UnderCover Flex is one of the more popular tonneau covers on the market and is well known for its strength. Each panel is made of a high quality FRP composite material, which is stronger, lighter and more durable than aluminum.

Another unique feature of the UnderCover Flex is its water tight seal and drain tubes that funnel water away from and out of your truck bed. Its design makes it one of the most waterproof covers available, so you know your cargo will be protected. 

Tri-Fold Tonneau Covers generally have 3 locking positions: full coverage, 3/4 bed access and full bed access. Some covers, like the UnderCover Flex, can opened by one person from either end of the vehicle to provide easy access to the front or back of the truck box.

The panels automatically latch, ensuring full security and simple operation. To open or close most Tri-Fold Tonneau Covers, a latch or handle releases the locks for easy access, and once your tailgate is locked, your truck bed is secure.
