The Best Truck Covers to Protect Your Pickup

This KAKIT Truck Cover binds six layers of premium heavy-duty materials to form a waterproof, tear-resistant, UV-reflecting cover that is not only strong, but also includes a layer of super-soft cotton to protect your truck’s painted and chromed surfaces. Because while your truck may be tough, it’s got delicate parts too.

Wind is another enemy of truck covers, and the KAKIT 6-Layer Heavy-Duty Truck Cover comes with a double-stitched elasticized hem and two straps to secure the cover against strong gusts. KAKIT has engineered their truck cover to be easy to install, with a license-plate rope in the rear anchoring the cover as you pull it over the roof. A side door zipper allows access to the interior without removing the cover. A reflective stripe across the front is a great way to distinguish your truck, and will help keep it safe at night. A three-year warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee are also included in the unlikely event that you are not completely satisfied with your purchase.

CarCovers.com’s Platinum Shield Truck Cover answers so many of the concerns of truck owners in one single product. Will it fit my truck? Yes, if you use the simple drop-down menus to order a cover that’s matched to your truck’s configuration, bed length, and whether or not you have a camper shell installed. Once you've chosen the correct size, adjustable tension panels at front and rear plus an elastic hem assure a snug fit.

Will it protect my truck from the sun? The UV-reflective material of the Platinum Shield keeps your truck safe from sun damage, and keeps your interior cooler in the process. Does it provide proper ventilation? The cover's breathable characteristics prevent mold and release trapped moisture, while also reducing wind stress. Is it durable? The water-resistant RipStop Polyester is not only tough, it naturally resists rot and mildew as well. It’s also easy to install, and comes with a free cable and lock set that you can use to keep your cover secure and protect your truck from theft.

Quality matters when it comes to truck covers, and the Platinum Shield Truck Cover is highly rated in that department, thanks to double-stitched seams, a polyurethane coating, woven polyester fabric, plus an ultra-soft fleece liner on the underside that protects and preserves your truck’s finish. That durability and high quality is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, making it no wonder the Platinum Shield is a top-seller.

This truck cover also features an elastic hem for a secure fit to your vehicle as well as non-scratch tie-down grommets and rope.

In a sea of product sameness, it’s nice to run across something different. The Sailnovo Truck Cover is a black satin truck cover, and much like its grey and silver competitors, is made of a breathable polyester fabric that is waterproof, dust-proof, and heat-resistant.

All seams are taped to protect against weather intrusion, and keep dirt, dust, snow, frost, industrial pollutants, and bird droppings from reaching your truck’s vulnerable painted and chromed surfaces. Reinforced grommets add security, and double-needle stitching provides lasting durability. The black satin outer layer of the Sailnovo adds a great look, especially on a big truck – although be warned, it may not provide the same heat resistance as its reflective silver counterparts.
