Truxedo Lo Pro FAQ's
How do I care for my vinyl tonneau cover?
The vinyl fabric on your tonneau cover can be cleaned with mild soap and water, and may be hand washed or safely cleaned in the car wash of your choice. Thoroughly rinse cover to remove any soap residue. Vinyl cover can be treated with any vinyl protectants made for tonneau covers. Never clean cover with petroleum or citrus-based products, and avoid silicone based protectants. We now offer Pro-TeX™ soft tonneau protectant spray to clean, preserve and protect your soft tonneau.
How do I adjust the tension on my tonneau cover?
The TruXedo® Lo Pro QT tonneau cover has automatic tension control. There are two spring loaded steel plungers at the front of the bed that maintain constant tension on the front header, allowing the cover to stay tight in any weather. Initially, you need to set the tension. This should be done during the warmest part of the day by closing the cover, releasing the Velcro® brand fasteners from both sides near the cab, and checking compression of the spring plungers against the front header. Roll cover open to make adjustments. Repeat until satisfactory tension is achieved. Refer to the TruXedo®
I have a toolbox on my truck already? Can I still get a TruXedo® Lo Pro QT to fit on my truck?
Yes!
Will the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT work with my other truck accessories?
Yes! The unique inside mount design of the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT rails enables you to accessorize with most bed rails, bed liners, and rail caps.
Custom applications for toolboxes
are also available.
Can I lock the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT?
The TruXedo® Lo Pro QT secures automatically when latched at the rear, and provides added security when used with a locking tailgate. It can not be opened until the tailgate is unlocked and opened. There are no additional locks or sliding mechanisms needed to lock the cover.
Will the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT work in the winter as well as in the summer?
The tonneau cover fabric will not shrink in cold temperatures, to –40 degrees F. Patented automatic tension control system keeps the cover tight whether it is 40 degrees below or 120 degrees above. Sliding Velcro® brand hook on the side rail works with the automatic tension control plungers to keep the cover tight – even when it’s closed!
Will the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT work with a 5th wheel?
Yes! Simply roll the cover all the way open and secure with security straps at the front of the bed. This allows you full access to your 5th wheel.
Can I still open my tailgate with the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT on my truck?
Yes – the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT does not restrict the tailgate. The rear header functions independently of the tailgate so there is nothing to remove when opening the tailgate.
I have a truck with a utility track system in the bed. Can I still use a TruXedo® Lo Pro QT?
Many of the late-model trucks have a utility track system to make the truck bed more accessory and user-friendly. We research all of the new trucks to make sure we have the best hardware to attach the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT to the truck. The hardware kits for these beds include modified clamps that will work with the various utility track systems. If you have questions on specific models, please contact customer service at 1-877-878-9336.
I live in a region that is very hot. Will the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT fabric fade in the sun?
The fabric used in the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT is very high quality and has been tested in extreme conditions. It is UV-protected and will not fade in the sun.
I live in a region that gets a lot of heavy snow. Can the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT hold the snow without bending or stretching?
The fabric used in the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT is very high quality and has been tested in extreme conditions. It can hold up to 350 pounds without stretching the fabric.
I would like to install the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT myself. How long will it take to install it myself?
Typically, the TruXedo® Lo Pro QT can be installed easily in minutes!
Will the Lo Pro QT work with a drop in bed liner that goes over the bed rails?
Yes, a Lo Pro QT will work with a drop in bed liner that goes over the bed rails. However, installation for this particular application will vary slightly from the normal installation process. Small holes (approximately 2’x4”) would need to be cut in the bed liner where the clamps will be installed. This allows access to the inner lip of the truck bed. If the liner goes over the front bulkhead and creates a radius at the front, you may need to cut slits in the bed liner at the front of the bed to allow the rails to push further forward in the bed.
Why is there a hole punched on the rear of the passenger side rail of the TruXedo Lo Pro QT, but no latch present?
The reason the rails are all punched the same way is to keep them uniform, for manufacturing efficiency and to reduce tooling costs. By doing this, we are able to keep manufacturing time down to get you your orders faster and also to keep the price of our products lower.
