Installing Bed Cover on 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 morsunled.bloggersdelight.dk

The aerodynamic benefits of a tonneau cover are well-documented. The open bed of a pickup truck creates a high-pressure zone of turbulent air that acts as a virtual “parachute” at highway speeds. By smoothing this airflow, a tonneau cover reduces drag by approximately 5 to 10 percent, which translates to fuel economy improvements of 1 to 2 miles per gallon on the highway according to real-world owner reports. Over the course of a year, this fuel saving can offset the purchase price of the cover. Additionally, the security benefit cannot be overstated: a locked hard cover means you can leave expensive tools, golf clubs, or camping gear in your bed overnight without worrying about theft. Some covers even feature a locking mechanism that integrates with your Ram’s tailgate lock, meaning one key secures the entire bed.
