Best Jeep Gladiator Tonneau and Bed Covers

Bed Cover Benefits

Tonneau covers offer several benefits for pickups, though the most commonly cited is protection. 

From the factory, most pickups ship without cargo coverings, leaving your valuables in the bed susceptible to thieves and adverse weather conditions. Installing a tonneau cover corrects this issue and adds a theft and weather-resistant cover over your Gladiator’s bed to prevent would-be thieves from accessing your belongings. Tonneau covers also feature weather-resistant constructions, utilizing waterproof materials and perimeter seals to keep moisture and dirt out! 

Aside from protecting your Gladiator’s bed and the cargo within, tonneau covers offer sleek aesthetics. Most feature ultra-low-profile form factors, protruding mere inches above your Gladiator's bed rails or less! Tonneau covers also cover existing scratches, dents, and dings within the bed for a clean, well-maintained appearance.

Fender Flare Styles

Now that we’ve covered the numerous benefits of fender flares, let’s cover styles! At RealTruck, we offer three particular flare styles for the Silverado, ranging from sleek, OE-inspired flares to aggressive, bolt-on styles.

Bed Cover Styles

Now that we’ve covered the benefits of installing a tonneau cover let’s decide which tonneau cover style best suits your Gladiator! At RealTruck, we offer all the top bed and tonneau cover styles, various features, and varying price points. Some of the most popular styles include: 

• Hard Folding: A rigid tonneau cover featuring multiple hinged top panels, typically aluminum or fiberglass-reinforced polycarbonate (FRP). This bed cover style is highly secure, weather-resistant, and durable, keeping your valuables safe and sound!

• Roll-Up: A popular tonneau cover style featuring intuitive roll-up operation. These covers typically feature a soft vinyl or canvas construction with or without vulcanized aluminum/polycarbonate slats for added support. This style is lightweight and cost-effective; however, products with vulcanized slats are far pricier than those without.  

• Soft Folding: Similar to hard folding tonneau covers, soft folding tonneau covers feature a series of foldable panels that, when folded on top of one another, allow access to your Jeep’s bed. Construction consists of a soft vinyl or canvas tarp stretched over an aluminum frame, adding rigidity without excessive weight. Though lightweight and cost-effective, soft folding tonneau covers aren’t as secure as other options due to their puncture and cut-prone design.

• Retractable: An aluminum or polycarbonate slat tonneau cover that rides on track-mounted sealed rollers. With the latches released, the top cover rolls into an integrated canister, either manually or via an electric motor. This style is secure and durable; however, it’s one of the pricier styles on the market, especially power-retractable configurations. 

• One-Piece: A rigid, hard-shelled bed cover featuring a one-piece ABS plastic or fiberglass construction. Bulkhead-mounted hinges and integrated shocks allow the cover to open like a clamshell, allowing ample cargo access. This style is highly secure and weather-resistant; however, it’s pricey and typically requires removal to transport oversized cargo.
