TruXedo TruXport vs. Lo Pro: Is Low Profile Worth the Extra Cash?

You own a 2015–2020 Ford F-150, and you want to cover the bed. You don't need a bulletproof steel vault; you just want to keep the snow off your groceries and improve your gas mileage on the highway.

You want a Soft Roll-Up Cover.

But when you look at the options, you see a $300 cover and a $500 cover that look almost identical. What gives?

The difference lies in the Profile. The entry-level covers (like the TruXport) sit on top of your bed rails, adding a visible hump. The premium covers (like the Lo Pro) mount inside the rails, sitting flush for a sleek, factory appearance.

In this guide, we compare the two best-selling soft covers on the market to see if the "Low Profile" look is actually worth the extra money, and how the fabric materials differ between the two.

Frequently Asked Questions (Soft Covers)

Is it secure against thieves?

No. It is a vinyl tarp. While it keeps honest people out (out of sight, out of mind) and latches internally (so you can't open it without opening the tailgate), a dedicated thief can cut through it with a knife. If security is your priority, look at our Hard Folding or Retractable collections.

Will it flap in the wind on the highway?

Not if installed correctly. Modern covers use full-length industrial Velcro down the sides (floating hook technology). When tensioned properly, the cover stays tight as a drum even at 80 MPH. If you see flapping, you simply adjust the tension dials near the cab.

Can I take it through a car wash?

Yes. Soft roll-up covers are safe for automatic car washes. However, we recommend avoiding "Hot Wax" cycles if possible, as wax buildup can sometimes make the vinyl look hazy over time. Use a vinyl cleaner (like Tonneau Tonic) to keep it looking black and new.
