MaxMate Soft Roll-up Truck Bed Tonneau Cover Compatible with 2014-2018

In this review of the MaxMate Soft Roll-up Truck Bed Tonneau Cover, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, affordable option for Silverado and Sierra owners who want reliable weather protection and easy access to the bed. The cover is aimed at drivers with a 5'9' (69') bed who value a low-profile, no-drill installation and a tension system that keeps the vinyl smooth. Its biggest selling point is the heavy duty 24oz. marine-grade vinyl construction combined with aircraft-grade aluminum rails, which together offer a good balance of water resistance and everyday usability.

Key Features

• Confirmed Fitment: Designed to fit 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, and 2019 Silverado 1500 LD / Sierra 1500 Limited with a 5'9' bed when fitment is confirmed for your vehicle.
• Heavy Duty Vinyl: The dual-coated 24oz. marine-grade vinyl resists rain and holds up well in wet conditions to keep the bed dry.
• Built-in Crossbars: Horizontal crossbars provide support when the cover is closed and allow the cover to roll up with the tarp for full bed access.
• Aluminum Rails and Clamps: Aircraft-grade aluminum side rails and stainless steel clamps offer a corrosion-resistant mounting system without drilling the bed.
• Tension and Sealing: An adjustable tension system and Velcro side seals help maintain a tight, wrinkle-free fit and reduce water intrusion around the rails.
• Warranty: A 10 year no-hassle warranty for US customers provides long-term coverage.

Who It's For

This cover is best for owners of the specified Silverado and Sierra models who need a straightforward, low-profile tonneau that installs without drilling and provides good water resistance. It suits drivers who often carry cargo that must stay dry and want quick roll-up access to the full bed.

It is less suitable for drivers who rely on a power tailgate, since equipping the cover will interfere with that feature, or for those who need a hard, lockable cover for high-security cargo. Buyers with over-the-rail bedliners should expect to cut small holes for clamp access.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy no-drill installation with supplied clamps and clear instructions, often achievable quickly by one person.
• Good water protection from the heavy duty 24oz. marine-grade vinyl that stays dry in rain.
• Durable hardware: aircraft-grade aluminum rails and stainless steel clamps resist corrosion.
• Adjustable tension system keeps the cover tight and reduces vinyl wrinkling in different weather.

Cons

• Mixed reports on long-term durability of the vinyl; some users experience rips within weeks while others find it holds up well.
• Will interfere with a power tailgate, so not compatible for users who need that function.

Our Verdict

The MaxMate Soft Roll-up cover is a solid, cost-effective choice for Silverado and Sierra owners who need dependable weather protection and easy bed access without drilling. It offers strong materials, corrosion-resistant hardware, and a tension system that keeps the cover neat; however, buyers should be aware of mixed durability reports and the incompatibility with a power tailgate. For most practical daily users seeking value, it is a sensible buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cover work with a bedliner?
Yes; it works with under-the-rail bedliners without modification, but over-the-rail bedliners require small holes to secure the clamps.

Does it require drilling to install?
No; installation uses stainless steel clamps and supplied hardware so no drilling into the truck bed is required.

Will it affect my power tailgate?
Yes; equipping this cover will interfere with a power tailgate, so it is not recommended for trucks that need that function.
