Pickup and Truck Covers

Different Types of Truck Covers

Truck covers are primarily divided into two kinds of categories. Outdoor covers, for protecting your vehicle against the elements, and indoor covers for protecting your truck against more domestic hazards. CarCover.com caters to both of these circumstances and offers covers of various materials, thicknesses, and treatments that are balanced to best protect your vehicle at a variety of prices.

Outdoor covers can be either be waterproof or weatherproof. While many sources will try to claim that waterproof covers are inferior to weatherproof ones (that the latter are susceptible to dew) this is only the case for poorly fitting covers. CarCover.com's best outdoor covers are waterproof and due to their snug fit, not susceptible to dew. Outdoor covers are the most common and most popular, and usually truck owners' first investment.

That truck kept indoors - be it in storage or in a garage - does not need a cover, is a common misconception. Although it is always better to keep your truck inside if you can (and the regular impossibility of this is why we supply outdoor truck covers), just being inside is inadequate to properly guarding your vehicle's exterior. The often-tight space of a garage in addition to the presence of dust and debris makes it very easy to make unintended contact and leave scratches in your vehicle's paint, both large and small. Indoor covers are designed, differently from outdoor covers, with these distinct perils in mind.

Outdoor Truck Covers

CarCover.com sells a range of outdoor truck covers catering to an impressively broad selection of motor vehicles – you can check for yourself, right here on our homepage. At CarCover.com we make use of a ‘medalled' tier system to convey, succinctly, what you ought to expect from a particular cover. Gold, Silver, and Bronze Shield covers are all eligible for outdoor use, though the Bronze Shield is recommended for indoor storage and should only be used outside in a pinch.

The Gold and Silver Shield covers are made up of five and three layers respectively. Each is constituted of two layers of Polypropylene PLUS and a layer of microporous film. The Gold Shield cover comes with an additional layer of Polypropylene PLUS and a soft fleece innermost lining. Our Gold Shield cover provides the most comprehensive protection of those we offer: it is 100% waterproof and provides the thickest buffer against extremes weather conditions and impact from small hailstones. The silver shield, meanwhile, is water-repellant and especially breathable. It will keep the elements away from your vehicle and faces no trouble in more moderate climates and weather conditions.

Indoor Truck Covers

An indoor truck cover is a finishing touch for the clearly optimal truck-keeping situation – that is, inside! While keeping your vehicle indoors is the best way – unavoidably better than even the best pickup truck cover – to keep your vehicle protected against the elements, there are still a few contingencies that leave your truck vulnerable. Dust, mildew, and unexpected contact with all those things you might be keeping in your garage stand to disturb your truck's safe haven.

As indicated above, our Bronze Shield cover is designed for indoor use: its porous material will keep moisture (and thus the development of mildew) away from the surface of your vehicle and its vulnerable rubber and metal components. Covering the vehicle prevents the accumulation of dust and debris which causes micro-scratches, and, even if the scratches themselves aren't visible, takes the sheen out of your truck's finish.

More specialized for indoor use only, especially for the highly detailed or those meant for show, is our Black Satin cover. This cover is made up of a single layer of satin which is soft enough to leave no trace or mark when fitted to or removed from, your vehicle. Between our Bronze Shield and Black Satin covers, you have a cover for the two predominant indoor parking situations: storage, and show.

What A Good Truck Cover Looks Like

Investing in a pickup truck cover can be an intimidating endeavor – precisely because, more often than not, it isn't obvious what you should be looking for prior to making your decision. Many potential buyers may not think to consider anything beyond build quality – and while quality is of central importance, it isn't comprehensive. Consider, too, these following things before you make your purchase.

Let's begin with the obvious: you want a strong warranty and prompt shipment and delivery if you are going to be buying a truck cover online. These requirements guarantee that online shopping introduces convenience into your life, rather than removing it. On this front, {{config path="design/head/default_title"}} has you covered – all our products offer urgent short-term (three or fewer days) shipping, and a lifetime warranty!

Your truck cover is going to be doing more than just sitting on your truck – it's going to be stored, truckried around, and installed – be it by you, or someone else. For these reasons, it is best if a cover comes with a storage bag, integrated straps (for fluid installation), and a manageable weight. Storage bags ensure that the very elements you strive to keep away from your truck don't gather on or in the cover which will later be in close contact with that same truck. Weight can similarly sabotage the benefits of your cover: even a soft material might dim a mirrored detail if the layers above it amount to too much!

Finally, truck covers are a desirable and substantial commodity. You want to protect your investment while it protects your truck, and while it does that, it can't be locked inside. It can, however, be locked to your vehicle: this is where cable locks come in handy. All of {{config path="design/head/default_title"}}'s truck covers come with a cable lock, which threads through the cover and affixes it without hassle to your truck. This much can easily be said - dissuading would-be thieves from taking your cover (or the now unseeable contents of your truck!), a cable lock does a world of good.

For all these needs and more, CarCover.com has got you covered!
