Product Comparison: ACCESS Original and ACCESS TonnoSport Roll Up Tonneau Covers

When there is such a wide variety of products available to choose from, sometimes it's hard to make a decision. That's why, at Auto Truck Depot, we operate this blog. We want to make your shopping experience as quick and painless as possible and leave you excited and happy about the tonneau cover you've purchased for as long as you own it. Sometimes, choosing between brands can be tough, and other times choosing between models within the same brand can be hard.
So, in this article we are going to lay out the differences between two very popular tonneau covers in the same style and brand. What is the difference between the ACCESS® Original Roll-Up Cover and the TONNOSPORT® Roll-Up Cover?
ACCESS® Original Roll-Up Cover
ACCESS Original Roll-Up Tonneau Cover
The obvious difference is the price. The Original is a premium tonneau cover while the TONNOSPORT® is an economically-priced model and their costs reflect a difference in features. 
TONNOSPORT® Roll-Up Cover
ACCESS TonnoSport Roll-Up Tonneau Cover
Consider the following:
Each cover offers a different look, or aesthetic, for your truck bed. The Original is an increased-capacity tonneau cover designed to sit one and a half inches above the bed rail, giving you extra room for cargo.  The TonnoSport is engineered with a low profile design that sits only half an inch above the bed to give your vehicle a more sporty, trimmed look at the cost of the extra inch height.
The Original has an exclusive SLANTBACK REAR DESIGN that tapers down over your tailgate for an improved seal and a more aerodoynamic style, while the TonnoSport, already designed with a slim look, ends abruptly at your tailgate.
The Original has a series of rails and bows that are painted black to match the colour of the vinyl and help give the cover its height. The TonnoSport has silver aluminum flat bars that help keep its low profile and minimize construction cost to save you money.
The ACCESS Original features the patented AUTOLATCH II Dual Locking System which allows you to release both side locks with one smooth motion, increasing ease of use while maximizing security. The TonnoSport has a simpler trigger latch mechanism with two slide locks.
The Original has two premium storage straps with cab guard design at the front of your bed to more securely store the cover when it's rolled up. The TonnoSport features a single QUICK CLIP Storage Strap.
The ACCESS Original also includes an Element Seal Gasket for extra protection from dust and moisture at the front bulkhead, a feature lacking in the TonnoSport.
Open truck bed with TonnoSport
While it is obvious that the Original has a larger number of more premium features, the cost is definitely a consideration. The TonnoSport is still a high quality, reliable cover. Both feature tension adjusters for the vinyl that don't require tools, with slightly different designs.
They also both boast the same double-coated, UV protected vunyl used in all ACCESS® Brand Roll-Up Covers to ensure a long lasting top that will keep your truck bed protected.

How to Install Your Tonneau Cover

Tonneau covers are a great addition to any pickup truck. Perhaps you’re thinking about purchasing a tonneau cover for your vehicle and want to be sure of the installation procedure prior to making the investment, or maybe you already have one that you’re preparing to install yourself. Either way, let me share some knowledge about how to install your cover!
Tonneau covers are usually installed with a simple clamping system that attaches the cover to your bed rails. There is no drilling or modification necessary, so even if your truck is leased, you have no worries about voiding any warranties or causing any unnecessary damage.
Installing an UnderCover Flex Tonneau Cover | Auto Truck Depot
It is important that the rails are straight, since the cover will fold open and rest on these rails. If the rails are uneven, the cover might not close or seal properly. Soft Roll-Up covers often roll out and seal along the rails with Velcro, and Hard Tri-Fold tonneau covers often include latches that secure the cover to the rails. If the rails are not positioned accurately, you risk jeopardising the security of your truck bed.
Once the rails are installed, the rest is a breeze. The cover will generally latch or secure on starting at the cab end of your truck bed and roll or fold forward. The average installation time of a cover ranges from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on your skill level, the tools you have, and the type of cover you're installing. Some covers can be removed from the rails easily after the installation, allowing you to take the top on and off at will without having to do the full installation again.
Access Original Roll-Up Tonneau Cover | Auto Truck Depot
Most tonneau cover installations are similar, but there are slight variations between different covers, so you might want to check the installation guide for your specific cover before attempting to install it yourself. All of the tonneau covers we sell on our website include installation guides and videos, which can be found in the product descriptions. If you plan on purchasing a tonneau cover, you may want to check out the installation guide for that specific cover. If you’re planning on buying a tonneau cover, but haven’t picked one out yet, take a look at these different tonneau cover categories.

How To Keep Your Vehicle Looking Brand New

There are numerous preventative measures you can take to be sure your vehicle is protected throughout the seasons. These become especially useful as winter arrives and your vehicle is exposed to road salts and other harmful elements. Here are some things you can do to prevent rust and corrosion from deteriorating your vehicle.

1. Rust Proofing

Rust proofing, if done every year, can add years to your vehicle's life by preventing the start of rust from ever forming. This is especially useful to new vehicle owners, or those who've had their vehicles repainted. 
Rust Proofing | Auto Truck Depot
Rust proofing is done with a light liquid, pressurized spray that is designed to stop rust from forming. The spray is applied to inside body sections and hidden areas of your vehicle, such as joints, fold, seams and spot welds. These areas are highly vulnerable to rust formation, and rust proofing prevents it from starting.

2. Undercoating 

Another highly vulnerable area for rust formation on your vehicle is the undercarriage. The undercarriage of your vehicle is routinely exposed to gravel, salt, rocks and other road debris that will cause harsh damage if left unprotected. 
Undercoating | Auto Truck Depot
Undercoating is a rubber and petroleum based product that's applied to the undercarriage and wheel wells of your vehicle. There are 3 components that make up undercoating.
  • Latex Rubber - this lets the coating move and expand to adjust to changing temperatures
  • Plastic Resin - this increases the durability and lifespan of the product
  • Tar - provides sealed protection against moisture, salt and other debris that has a potential to cause rust. This also makes your ride smoother by creating a barrier against rocks and road noise
Undercoating will ultimately increase increase the life of your vehicle while simultaneously making your ride smoother and more comfortable. This treatment only needs to be done once, because undercoating is guaranteed for the life of your vehicle.

3. 3M Paint Protection

We've covered how to protect the hidden areas of your vehicle, such as seams, welds and the undercarriage. The next step is protecting the paint and outer surfaces of your vehicle with 3M paint protection
A clear film is carefully applied to the vehicle's surface, including challenging grill work, wheel openings, bumpers and other areas that require extra safeguard.
  • Provides a clear, virtually invisible urethane protective coating
  • Shields against stones, sand, bugs and road debris
  • Boosts vehicle trade in value
  • Lifetime guarantee for as long as you own your vehicle
The film is virtually invisible and acts as a shield against moisture and other debris to help keep your vehicle looking new for years to come.

How To Choose the Right Tonneau Cover

A tonneau cover is one of the most important accessories you can get for your pickup truck. These truck bed covers aren't only stylish, but they serve a multitude of purposes, such as protection against weather, security for your cargo, and they can even save you gas mileage, just to name a few.
An open pickup is constantly exposed to the elements, which can damage your cargo, increase wear to your truck, and not to mention the damage of lingering water in your truck bed. With the right tonneau cover, you can prolong the life of your truck and increase the value it provides.
The question then becomes, how do I choose the right tonneau cover?
One major aspect to consider is weather. What conditions are you most likely to encounter, and how can your tonneau cover help? Every cover provides UV protection and prevents debris from entering your truck bed, but if moisture getting into your truck bed is an issue, you may want a cover with good weather seals or advanced drainage tubes that lead water out of the bed like the UnderCover Flex.
UnderCover Flex | Auto Truck DepotUnderCover Flex | Auto Truck Depot
If you have to deal with heavy wet snow routinely, you are more likely going to want a hard tonneau cover that can stand up to the weight. 
If security is your priority, a hard locking tonneau cover like the BAK Revolver X2 Roll-Up tonneau cover may be an option for you. The Revolver X2 hard aluminum roll-up tonneau cover provides unprecedented strength, security, and simplicity for your truck bed, and with its no-profile design, it looks better than ever. This tonneau cover is made up of secure, automatic, rotational locking rails that secure the entire length of your truck bed on each side. The Revolver X2 can be easily rolled up with one hand to provide 100% truck bed access, and without blocking your rear view window or restricting access to stake pocket holes.
BAK Revolver X2 Roll-Up Tonneau Cover | Auto Truck Depot

Tonneau covers have been proven to save gas mileage by increasing airflow and reducing drag. The more aerodynamic the tonneau cover, the more gas you will save in the long run, so if this is a consideration, you may want to look at tonneau covers with a low-profile design like the Roll-N-Lock M-Series, where the cover runs along a track flush with the truck bed.
Some of the most important points to bring up are style and functionality. There are so many styles to choose from, and it is all based on your own personal preference and what you think will look good and function well with your truck. Try to choose a cover that works with your lifestyle. Do you need full truck bed access often, or ever? What kind of cargo will you be hauling regularly? How secure does it have to be? These are all elements that are important to consider when looking at tonneau covers. At Auto Truck Depot, we carry the highest quality brands, so once you pick one you'll have it for a long time. Let us help you make the right choice the first time.

Making Sense of Truck Racks Part 2: Truck Bed Racks

In the last installment of our blog on Making Sense of Truck Racks a style of truck rack with two names, Headache Racks or Cab Guards. Commonly know as Truck Racks, these racks can help with cargo hauling, but if maximizing your bed storage space is your ultimate goal, there may be a better solution.


Truck Bed Racks, or Ladder Racks, are one of the easiest ways to double up on the cargo space in your truck bed. They are fairly small, generally lightweight, and capable of carrying quite heavy loads. They also leave your rear window clear, so that you get the full range of vision while driving, unlike Headache which can completely obscure your rear window when you have cargo secured.

Truck Covers USA manufactures an interesting variety, from their American Truck Rack, a heavy duty unit designed to mesh with their other products and covered in features, to their American Rack System. The Rack System is unique because it fits the category of Truck Bed Rack in installation and style, but it's designed to carry more specific cargo using Yakima racks. I'm going to start off, however, talking about a classic rack before I get into more complicated ones. This Truck Rack is one of the best sellers on both Auto Truck Depot and Tonno Cover Depot, and it's a comparatively inexpensive cargo solution.



Access Adarac Truck Bed Rack

The Access Adarac is one of our best selling truck bed racks. This is likely because it's cost effective, simple, easy to use, and lightweight. The Adarac installs without any drilling or modification to your truck, meaning you can put it on a leased vehicle, or swap it from truck to truck as needed. It can be installed in an hour with basic tools, and it's compatible with all Access Tonneau covers as well as most other inside-the-rail tonneau covers.
The rack is fully adjustable, meaning you can slide the crossbar rails around to meet your cargo hauling needs. Whether its canoes, lumber, ladders, or other long cargo, it can all be stored securely. Its steel frame construction can support up to 500 pounds of weight, and it's powder coated black to protect the metal from corrosion and give the rack a sharp style. The Access Adarac even has integrated tie down rails so you can be sure your cargo will stay secure.

There are a tonne of varieties of Truck Bed Racks, and a lot of companies make racks similar to the Adarac, including the Thule XSporter Multi-Height Rack, and the Dee Zee Invis-A-Rack Collapsible Truck Bed Rack. Each brand has tried to add something unique to their product, so if you're looking for a truck rack to fit a specific purpose, make sure you shop around. A collapsible rack may be great if you're looking to only use it once in a while, and the multi-height may be good if your cargo variety changes a lot. If you're looking for something a little more heavy duty, however, you should look into our Contractor Rigs.



Pace Edwards Contractor Rig 

The Contractor Rig from Pace Edwards is a heady duty Truck Rack engineered with the contractor in mind. Do you spend a lot of time hauling tools, equipment, or cargo to job sites? These racks are made for every day heavy use, so you know they'll stand up. The thick aluminum trusses create exceptional rear to rear stability when compared to other racks, and they can hold a tonne of weight. The extension beams on the front provide even more security if you're hauling extremely long cargo, and PVC inserts on the rear cross member held reduce friction when loading the rack to make the process easier on your cargo and your arms. 


The Contractor Rig is designed to work with your Pace Edwards Explorer Series Rails and a Bedlocker of JackRabbit tonneau cover, and it even comes with winches to help ensure maximum security for your cargo. The cross members are adjustable to make loading easier and increase cargo versatility, and the aluminum construction with stainless steel fasteners makes this rig rust proof and great for all weather conditions and climates.


In conclusion, there are a lot of different styles and brands of Truck Bed Racks. Each model has its own benefits and limitations, and unfortunately I can't go through every single one of them. Your best bet is to start by setting a price cap for yourself. There is a huge cost range, from $249.99 all the way up to $1,709.99. There are full bed racks, heavy duty contractor rigs, and even the Elite Universal Rear Rack, which is designed to work with a Headache Rack to give you a full Truck Bed Rack system.

Whichever system you choose, a Truck Bed Rack will increase the cargo carrying capacity of your truck bed, and make your life just a little bit easier. Check out our selection on Auto Truck Depot and Tonno Cover Depot.
