TruXport Q & A
How do I care for my TruXport™ tonneau cover fabric?
The vinyl fabric on your tonneau cover can be cleaned with mild soap
and water, and may be hand washed or safely cleaned in the car wash of your
choice. Thoroughly rinse cover to remove any soap residue. Vinyl cover can be
treated with any vinyl protectants made for tonneau covers. Never clean
cover with petroleum or citrus-based products, and avoid silicone based
protectants. Some examples of good products to use on your vinyl cover
are 303Products, Mothers brand products, and Meguiar’s products.
What is the difference between the TruXport™ and a TruXedo®
Lo Profile tonneau cover?
The TruXport™ tonneau cover is intended to be an economic alternative
to traditional snap-style covers. It has fewer features and benefits than the
premium tonneau cover, TruXedo®
Lo Profile. This
comparison shows the differences between the two tonneau covers.
How does the fabric of the TruXport™ differ from the Original TruXedo®
and TruXedo®
Lo Profile fabric?
All of the TruXedo®
brand tonneau covers are made from 100% Made in America Seaman fabric. The
Original TruXedo®
and TruXedo®
Lo Profile covers are made of 18 ounce fabric and the TruXport™ is made with 14
ounce fabric. For more differences between the products, click here for the
comparison.
Is the TruXport™ weather proof?
Although no tonneau cover is completely waterproof, the TruXport™
tonneau cover will help to keep rain, snow, and dust out of the bed of your
truck. The TruXport™ has seals on all four sides.
Can I use the TruXport™ with my toolbox?
The TruXport™ tonneau cover does cover the entire truck bed. It cannot
be made to fit with an existing toolbox.
Does the TruXport™ come in any other colors?
The TruXport™ fabric is available in black only.
How can I keep the TruXport™ tonneau cover tight?
TruXport™ tonneau covers come with an easily adjustable tension control
system, located at the rear of the cover, near the tailgate. By turning the
plastic dials on each side of the cover, you can adjust the tension on the
cover. For more detailed instructions on adjusting the tension control on the
TruXport™ cover, see the
owner’s manual.
How does the TruXport™ mount to the truck?
The TruXport™ is a top-mount design, meaning it mounts to the top of
the truck bed rails. The rails of the TruXport™ are clamped onto the truck bed
rails on each side using three clamps. The front and rear headers attach to the
TruXport™ rails. For more detailed instructions on installing the TruXport™
tonneau cover, please refer to the
owner’s manual.
I have other truck accessories. Can I use the TruXport™ with them?
Since the TruXport™ is mounted to the top of the truck bed rails, it
cannot be used with bed rails. It can, however, be used with bed liners and bed
caps. If you have questions on other specific accessories, please call our sales
office at 1-800-234-1486.
Can I lock the TruXport™ tonneau cover?
The TruXport™ tonneau cover cannot be opened without opening the
tailgate. Cover can be locked when used with a locking tailgate.
Will the TruXport™ fabric fade in the sun?
The fabric used in the TruXport™ is very high quality and has been
tested in extreme conditions. It is UV-protected and will not fade in the sun.
I would like to install my TruXport™ myself. How long does it take to
install a TruXport™ tonneau cover?
The TruXport™ does require more assembly than the Original TruXedo®
and the TruXedo®
Lo Profile. On average, it takes about 20-30 minutes to install. For detailed
installation instructions, see the TruXport™
owner’s manual.
Can I buy a TruXport™ tonneau cover directly from the factory?
Shurco manufacture the TruXport™ and sells through their wholesale
distribution network. They do not sell direct to the public. They will be happy
to assist you in finding a reputable dealer. We recommend you check on any
dealer you may be tempted to buy from. They are not all the same. Just call
1-877-878-9336 and ask them about us.
Tents on Trucks.
With other inexpensive tonneau covers, it is difficult to operate
them in cold weather. Will TruXport™ work in the cold?
TruXport™ fabric expands slightly in cold weather, so it is very easy
to operate – even at 20 degrees below zero! There are no cumbersome snaps of
zip-strips to hassle with – no more tugging on the fabric to get it snapped.
Just roll it back and latch into place. Then slide your hand along the sides to
engage the Velcro®
brand fasteners on the sides.
