ARE Tonneau Covers

ARE Tonneau Covers are built by the first ISO 9001 Certified
Truck Cap Manufacturer in the USA. ARE’s 256,000 square foot plant is in Massillon, Ohio and they make more single brand truck caps (see ARE Truck Caps) and tonneau covers than anyone else in the USA.

The company started up in 1969 making aluminum truck caps and storage buildings. Fiberglass style ARE Tonneau Covers started coming off the line in 1989 winning industry awards for the lift system that helps you lift the cover off the truck bed.

ARE is a sponsor of Ducks Unlimited and the Wounded Warrior Project. Premium products are used in the manufacture of the ARE Tonneau Cover Product Line. They have their own paint shop, construct their own fiberglass and even high pressure, salt water spray test the metal components that are used in their tonno covers.While you’re visiting the website make sure you get the name of a dealer near you because these hard truck bed covers are heavy (80-130 lbs) and have a lot of accessories and options you really want a pro to install.

ARE manufactures 4 traditional tonneau covers; the LSX Ultra Series, the LSX Series, the LSII Series and the LT Series. ARE also manufactures the 3DL Series which is kind of a hybrid tonneau cover / truck cap. It adds 4 inches above the truck bed rail of additional storage space and opens like a butterfly wing from both sides while still preserving the traditional manner of opening the entire cover from the rear. The 3DL Series is an innovative and useful addition to the ARE Tonneau Covers Product Line.

You also want to evaluate the differences between the two LSX models, the LT and the LSII models. Basically the LSII adds some compound curves, styling upgrades and protective trim on the edges. The LSII also makes standard some features which were optional on the LSX. The LSX Ultra adds some neat stuff like keyless entry while the LT isn't carpeted inside like the other 3 models. But these are the tough decisions you have to make. So here's a simple chart to get you started on the road to picking out which of the 5 ARE Tonneau Covers your like best.

I can’t let you go without mentioning a couple more things that really make the ARE Tonneau Cover special. First, the lid rests on multiple height adjusters and not on the bed rail. This allows for a precise, low profile fit and keeps the tonneau cover from rubbing on the bed rail. Secondly, you can get remote keyless entry which is integrated with your vehicles door locks. Which is another good reason to let an experienced dealer do the install. Thirdly, there are all kinds of neat accessories like clothes rods, 12 volt power strips, dome lights, sport wings, bed mats, bed slides and I could keep going but I have to sleep sometime! So what can I say - it’s a helluva truck bed cover for the money. Maybe even a good idea to get one installed when you buy your new truck.
