Tonneau Covers Canada: Extang, UnderCover, Retrax and BAK

Bed length and factory extras decide which cover fits, and every maker writes those measurements a little differently. That is why we wrote a separate guide for each of 15 pickups, from the Ford F-150 to the Nissan Titan, so you only see covers made for the bed you already have.

Choosing a tonneau cover mostly comes down to how you want the bed to open. A soft folding cover costs the least and goes on fastest, a hard folding cover adds solid panels so the bed is harder to get into, and a retractable rolls up at the front of the bed so the whole bed opens at once. We stock all three.

On a tighter budget, the TruXedo TruXport is a soft roll-up at $490 CAD for the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado and Ram short boxes, and it sits on top of the rails with its tension already set at the factory. We also stock WeatherTech AlloyCover hard tri-folds from $1,546 CAD.

Start with a tape measure along the bed floor, from the front wall to the inside of the closed tailgate, because makers write the same box in different ways. Ford calls its short box the 5.5 ft bed while most cover makers list it as 5 ft 7 in. Same bed, two names.

Next, look at what is already on the bed. A RamBox, factory side storage boxes, deck rails or Utili-Track, and the GM CarbonPro bed each need a cover built for them, and the product title tells you when a cover fits one or skips it. Last, decide how you want it to open, then enter your year, make and model in EasySearch on the product page so you know it fits before it goes in the cart.

A sealed cover keeps snow out of the bed all winter, so the shovel, the salt and the hockey bag are right where you left them instead of frozen to the floor of the box. Brush heavy snow off before you fold or roll the cover open so it does not slide into the bed, and clear the drain tubes on a retractable once things start to melt.

On the half-tons Canadians buy most, the Ram 1500, Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500, a soft tri-fold starts around $658 CAD and a retractable runs past $3,200. Every one of these is cut for a single bed, so check the years and box length before you order.
