Soft Roll Up Tonneau Covers

Soft roll up tonneau cover lineup

A soft roll up tonneau cover is a vinyl tarp stretched over an aluminum frame — the cover rolls forward to the cab and clips to the bulkhead for full bed access in seconds. It is the lightest, lowest-cost tonneau style on the market, sits low and clean on the bed rails, and pulls off for full-bed use in seconds when you need it. Soft rolls trade hard-panel security and weight capacity for price, weight, and quick removability.

Truck Bed Barn stocks eight soft roll up masters across two brands. From TruXedo, four covers using the patented self-tensioning system that keeps the cover taut year-round: the TruXport (entry tier at $299.99), the Lo Pro (inboard rails, near-flush stance), the Pro X15 (15-degree X15 rails with 5-layer composite for the quietest highway ride), and the Pro X15 TS (Pro X15 with integrated T-Slot rails for racks and carriers).

From Access, four covers using the patented AutoLatch II hardware that secures the rear corners when the tailgate is closed: the Access Original Low-Profile ($560.15 entry tier), the Access Lorado Ultra-Low Profile (the lowest stance in the Access line), the Access Toolbox Compatible (cut shorter for crossover toolboxes), and the Access Limited (premium vinyl flagship at $672.35).

All eight covers install no-drill clamp-on in under an hour, ship with US-based customer support (TruXedo from Yankton SD, Access from Jamestown ND), and carry strong warranties — most TruXedo soft covers have a limited lifetime warranty. The whole category lives between $299.99 and $672.35, the lowest entry point in any tonneau style.

Soft roll up covers are sized for each truck make, model, year, and bed length — the wrong size will not seal. Run your truck through the fitment tool or message us before you order. Fitment is verified before every cover ships.

Soft roll up tonneau cover FAQ

What is a soft roll up tonneau cover?
A soft roll up tonneau cover is a vinyl tarp stretched over an aluminum frame. The cover rolls forward to the cab and clips to the bulkhead for full bed access in seconds. Soft rolls are the lightest, lowest-cost tonneau style and pull off for full-bed use in seconds, but they trade hard-panel security for price and weight.
Which is the best soft roll up tonneau cover?
It depends on what you need. The TruXedo TruXport ($299.99) is the lowest entry point. The TruXedo Pro X15 has the quietest highway ride. The Access Lorado Ultra-Low Profile sits the lowest on the bed rails. The Access Limited is the premium vinyl flagship at $672.35. All eight covers stocked here are US-built by TruXedo or Access.
What is the difference between TruXedo and Access soft roll ups?
TruXedo is built in Yankton, South Dakota and uses patented self-tensioning hardware (DriveTight on Pro X15 line, SureTension on TruXport) plus single-trigger or dual-paddle latches. Access is built in Jamestown, North Dakota by Agri-Cover (parent company of LOMAX) and uses the AutoLatch II hardware that secures the rear corners when the tailgate closes. Both brands carry strong warranties and US-based customer support.
Are soft roll up tonneau covers waterproof?
Water-resistant rather than fully waterproof — the same answer applies to every soft roll up on the market. Soft roll ups use hook-and-loop rail seals plus rubber gaskets at the bulkhead and tailgate. For daily driving, rain, and car washes, cargo stays dry.
How do you install a soft roll up tonneau cover?
Every soft roll up here uses a no-drill clamp-on mounting system. Rails clamp directly to the bed rails, the cover sets into the rails, tension self-adjusts. Most trucks take under 30 minutes for one person with basic hand tools. No drilling, no cutting, no permanent modifications.
What is the difference between soft roll up and hard roll up?
Soft roll ups use a vinyl tarp over an aluminum frame. Hard roll ups use interlocking aluminum slats (covered in vinyl or canvas) for slash-resistant security. Hard rolls cost roughly 2–3x more, carry higher load ratings, and lock at intermediate positions — but they are heavier and the canister takes up more bed space than a soft roll's bulkhead clip.
Will a soft roll up fit my truck?
Soft roll up covers are sized for each truck make, model, year, and bed length — they are not universal. The wrong size will not seal. Run your truck through the fitment tool or message us before you order. Fitment is verified before every order ships.
