Access Original Roll-Up vs TruXedo TruXport — frequently asked
Access Original Roll-Up or TruXedo TruXport — which should I buy?
Buy the Access Original Roll-Up if its balance suits how you use the bed. Buy the TruXedo TruXport if its balance suits you better, and it is the cheaper of the two. Both are the same type of cover, so the decision is about execution rather than category.
Is the Access Original Roll-Up more secure than the TruXedo TruXport?
On our rating the Access Original Roll-Up scores Low for security and the TruXedo TruXport scores Low. Treat that as resistance to an opportunist rather than as a safe — no tonneau cover stops someone determined with tools and time.
Will either of these fit my truck?
Both are sold per truck and bed length rather than as one universal part, so the answer depends on your year, model and bed. Most full-size & mid-size beds — confirm your year and bed length. Check your exact fitment before ordering either.
Do either need drilling to install?
Access Original Roll-Up: Clamp-on, no drilling. TruXedo TruXport: Clamp-on, no drilling. Mainstream covers clamp to the bed rails and need no drilling, which keeps them removable and the truck's finish intact.
