MaxMate Soft Roll-up Truck Bed Tonneau Cover Compatible with 79 in Bed

Our review of the MaxMate Soft Roll-up Truck Bed Tonneau Cover finds it best suited for pickup owners who want an affordable, weather-resistant cover that installs without drilling. The single biggest reason to buy is its heavy-duty 24oz marine-grade vinyl and dual-coated construction combined with built-in horizontal crossbars, which keep the cover flat and help shed water at speed. It is a practical choice for 6'7' (79') beds on compatible Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra models when buyers accept that it interferes with a power tailgate.

Key Features

• Confirmed fit tool: Enter your license plate in the fit tool and select bed to verify fitment before purchase, avoiding fitment surprises.
• Durable material: The 24oz marine-grade vinyl with dual coating provides a strong, waterproof barrier that customers report keeps rain out even at highway speeds.
• Supportive design: Built-in horizontal crossbars support the cover when flat and help maintain a low profile when rolled up for full bed access.
• Secure mounting: Aircraft-grade aluminum side rails and stainless steel clamps provide a corrosion-resistant mounting system for long-term use.
• Adjustable tension: A rail-end tension system allows tightening to reduce vinyl wrinkles and keep the cover taut in varying weather.
• Simple installation: No-drill installation uses supplied clamps and hardware, with only small bedliner holes needed for over-the-rail liners.

Who It's For

This tonneau cover is ideal for drivers of 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, the 2015-2019 Silverado/Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD, and 2019 Silverado 1500 LD/Sierra 1500 Limited with a 6'7' (79') bed who want a low-cost, protective cover that keeps cargo dry and improves bed security. Owners who value easy, reversible installation and a low-profile look will appreciate the aluminum rails and vinyl finish.

Those who need an uncompromised power tailgate function should look elsewhere because the cover interferes with the power tailgate. Also, buyers seeking a rigid, hard-folding tonneau or an option with integrated locking latches may prefer different styles.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdy 24oz marine-grade vinyl construction provides reliable waterproofing and a clean appearance.
