Default Truck cover

Talk to me about truck covers. My truck sits in my driveway more than I drive it, so I’d like to buy a cover. I have an 18 Screw 6.5ft with tow mirrors.

Im also not opposed to a smaller “bikini” style cab cover.

Input? Thanks

I don't have a cover for my F150, but I have used Covercraft covers for motorcycles and classic cars. I've been satisfied with their selection and quality for the price, so they might be worth a look.

dont go cheap and make sure the truck is nice and clean before you cover it up.

I have a Covercraft Noah full cover with tow mirror pockets. Fits really good and I hear they are really good about handling warranty if you have issues. The biggest problem with a cover is that you need to wash your truck immediately before covering it every time to prevent dirt, dust, etc. from scratching the truck. Auto anything runs sales all the time and seems to be about the best deal.

I'm looking at the Noah as well. I'm just worried the underside may scratch the paint. How soft is it??

Pretty soft. There may be softer options, but everything is a compromise on car covers and the Noah seemed to be the best combination for me. Mine has been on the majority of the time for the past 3-4 months and I have seen no scratching at all. Keep a good coat of wax or whatever you use to protect your truck and only put it on a clean truck and you should be fine.
