MaxMate Soft Roll-up Truck Bed Tonneau Cover Compatible with 1982-2013

In this review the MaxMate Soft Roll-up Truck Bed Tonneau Cover is judged as a practical, value-driven choice for owners of 6' Fleetside beds who want weather protection and easy access without drilling. It is best for Ford Ranger and compatible Mazda B-Series owners who need a low-profile, heavy-duty vinyl cover that rolls up for full bed access. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a rugged 24oz marine-grade vinyl surface and a built-in support system that keeps the cover flat and tidy in most conditions.

Key Features

• Vehicle Compatibility: Fits 6' (73') Fleetside beds for 1982-2013 Ford Ranger and 1994-2010 Mazda B-Series, providing a well-matched fit for those specific trucks.
• Material Construction: Dual-coated 24oz marine-grade vinyl resists weather and wear while offering a neat finish to the truck bed when closed.
• Support System: Built-in horizontal crossbars support the cover when lying flat, reducing sag and pooling compared with unsupported soft covers.
• Mounting Hardware: Aircraft-grade aluminum side rails with stainless steel clamps allow a secure clamp-on install without drilling on most beds.
• Sealing and Tension: Velcro side seals and an adjustable tension system keep the vinyl tight and help reduce wrinkles and flapping in wind.
• Access and Security: Rolls up with the tarp for full bed access and uses a latch lock system at the tailgate to secure the cover.

Who It's For

The cover is well suited to owners of 6' Fleetside bed Ford Rangers from 1982-2013 and compatible Mazda B-Series trucks who want a robust, low-cost tonneau that installs without drilling and offers good weather protection. It appeals to buyers who prioritize easy removal and roll-up access for hauling larger gear while keeping the bed covered for day-to-day driving.

It is not for owners of Stepside beds, nor is it the right choice for someone wanting a rigid, lockable hard cover or an integrated power-operated system. Also, trucks with over-the-rail bedliners will require small cuts for clamps, so buyers wanting a completely non-invasive fit should consider that limitation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable marine-grade vinyl provides reliable weather resistance and a clean look.
• Easy no-drill installation with supplied clamps and rails makes fitting quick for most users.
• Adjustable tension system and Velcro seals keep the cover taut and reduce wrinkles.
• Roll-up design gives full bed access without tools and is easy to remove when needed.

Cons

• Some users report latch stability issues; occasional latch popping has been noted by customers.
• Requires small cuts to over-the-rail bedliners to secure clamps, which is not ideal for everyone.
