OPENROAD Aluminum Retractable Tonneau Cover
An aluminum retractable hard tonneau cover designed for vehicle-specific truck beds. Rigid aluminum slats roll into a compact canister at the front of the bed, so you can cover, lock, and uncover the bed without removing the cover.
Sealed Protection Against Weather
Engineered sealing helps reduce water intrusion and dust buildup, offering consistent cargo protection during rain, dirt roads, and daily driving conditions.
Heavy-Duty Aluminum Construction
Engineered with rigid aluminum panels for long-term durability, supporting demanding loads while maintaining structural stability in daily driving and off-road conditions. Panel exteriors are aluminum slats with a matte black powder coating. Panel frames are aircraft-grade aluminum with a matte black powder coat. The compact aluminum canister is built to maximize cargo space.
Lockable Integrated Handle
Most fitments include a built-in handle with a secure locking mechanism for controlled opening and closing. A Toyota Tundra 5.5 ft without-handle option is also available.
Dual-Access Opening
Open the cover from inside with the pull cord, or unlock the exterior handle with the key on handle-equipped models—no need to lower the tailgate.
Position Stops and Rack Compatibility
The cover retracts smoothly and can be locked at set positions so you can open only the space you need. OPENROAD states that covers for truck beds under 6 ft open fully or approximately one-third, and covers for truck beds 6.5 ft and longer open fully, approximately one-third, or approximately two-thirds. The design is made to work with OPENROAD’s Universal Rack system so cargo accessories and crossbars can be used without interfering with cover operation.
Mounting Kit
OPENROAD includes a mounting kit intended for compatible factory rails and aftermarket rack setups. According to OPENROAD, if your truck is not equipped with a rail system, clamps are purchased separately. The hardware kit includes a weather seal for the cab end of the truck bed and rubber bumpers that prevent the retractable cover from striking the canister.

Installation notes
OPENROAD recommends a two-person installation and, before starting, checking that all required parts and hardware are included. Tools and supplies they list: clean water, a duster cloth or scrub sponge, a tape ruler, a hex key, a drill bit, and gloves. Allow a minimum installation clearance of 0.28 in. After install, OPENROAD says to check the spacing between the retractable cover and the side rails and adjust the clearance to 7 mm (0.27 in.). Install the N5 stops / rubber bumpers at the back of the cover so it cannot hit and deform the canister during retraction. If the cover contacts the tailgate, OPENROAD recommends raising the mounting brackets at the tailgate end and shifting the assembly slightly toward the cab. An OPENROAD installation manual is linked from their product pages.

OPENROAD states that OPENROAD racks and covers are protected by a 3-Year Limited Warranty, with replacement parts for eligible manufacturing defects at no cost, coverage for purchases from OPENROAD4WD.com and authorized dealers, and that warranty exclusions and terms apply.
