If you are intending to enhance the looks as well as usefulness of your truck, then a tonneau cover is the best available option.

A wide range of truck toppers can be easily found in the market, from hard caps made up of aluminum or fiberglass to soft vinyl tops. Due to the availability of so many different types of bed covers, it becomes exceedingly difficult to ascertain, which one of them is ideal for your pickup vehicle.
In order to find an appropriate cover for your truck, you would have to evaluate a few factors. Let's take a look at them.
Why do you need a pickup bed cover?
There may be many reasons for buying a bed lid. The first thing that you need to do is to find out that reason because different truck covers serve different purposes, and a good topper is one that fulfills all your requirements.
For instance, if in addition to hauling cargo, you also regularly go camping, then you should choose a camper shell because it will meet your storage and camping requirements.
What kind of cargo do you carry?
If the cargo easily fits below the bed rails, then an aluminum hard cap would be suitable. However, if you frequently haul tall cargo, then a retractable bed cover would be a better option.
You can easily fold and unfold the topper as per your needs. If you require the entire bed space, then avoid buying a tri-fold cover because one-third of the bed will remain covered all times.
How much security do you need?
All truck caps have some kind of locking mechanism, but before buying any one of them, it is essential to determine how much security do you actually need?
If you regularly carry costly cargo, then opt for fiberglass truck bed cover. It will cover the bed completely and keep the shipment out of prying eyes.
Soft tops, on the other hand, will not be able to provide high-end security; they can be easily open with the help of sharp-edged objects.
What are the weather conditions in your area?
For moderate weather conditions, foldable soft bed covers made of canvas or vinyl is a good enough option. On the contrary, in regions where the weather conditions are unpredictable and harsh, a hinged hard topper would be more appropriate.
Do looks matter to you?
If you do not give too much of an emphasis to style and looks, then, select a vinyl or canvas soft cover. If you need a hard pickup bed cover, the aluminum would be the best. If you want your truck to appear modern and classy, then a fiberglass cover is just for you; fiberglass is the only material that can be perfectly customized.
How much are you ready to spend?
If you have a reasonably high budget, then you can choose a fiberglass or plastic bed cover. For a shoe string budget, soft vinyl covers are more appropriate.
One thing that you should keep in mind is that soft covers are not as durable as hard toppers. Moreover, the latter requires more maintenance than the former. The initial cost of the hard bed covers may be quite high, but in the long run, they will save you money.
