When we think about the roll-up tonneau covers, the first thing that crosses our minds is probably soft. After all, these are entry-level units designed to provide basic protection against damage, water, and dust. So, the manufacturer usually makes them from soft, affordable materials like water-resistant canvas or vinyl.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Truxedo<\/a><\/p>\n

However, from time to time, there comes a product trying to prove that this market segment doesn’t have to be that simple and boring.<\/span><\/p>\n

You see, the main problem of soft roll-up covers is their durability. Even the strongest vinyl covers of this type can tear apart. Even the strongest of them do a pretty poor job dealing with ponding and excessive layers of snow.<\/span><\/p>\n

The people from Truxedo tried to shake things up by ditching the tried and true canvas with genuine heavy-duty aluminum slats. This addition, of course, had its effects on the price of the product.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, let us go through this <\/span>Truxedo Titanium review<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/a> and see if this price is genuinely warranted.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Materials<\/b><\/h3>\n

The product that dares to call itself “Titanium” has to be all about durability, right? Well, the people from Truxedo aren’t even trying to hide the fact that muscles are the main selling point of their product.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what can we find in this neat package?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a start, a set of heavy-duty aluminum slats that are in the spotlight of every commercial this product ever got. Fortunately, this feature is not merely an expensive gimmick, and the addition of aluminum in the mix does live up to the hype.<\/span><\/p>\n

As I mentioned in the introduction, weight support and durability are the Achilles heel of every soft roll-up cover. Aluminum solves this problem in an instant without adding too much weight to your car. When I was testing the unit, I abused the material with anything that can be found in nature (small stones, branches, etc.), and I wasn’t able to tear through the cover. Kudos for that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, the aluminum slats are not standing there exposed to the sun and elements. The whole setup is wrapped up in a superior-grade, leather-grain fabric that is resistant to water and UV rays. And if that is not enough, you get the pleasant matte finish that keeps the scratches safely away.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for the rails and the mounting mechanism, by now, I got the impression that is something Truxedo will never quite nail. They are always functional but never durable enough to call them heavy-duty. If tightened too strong, the clamps can bend or break.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is something I could easily forgive in the case of the cheaper unit, but the price that hangs on this package makes me far less inclined to look away from problems.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
