The Extang Endure ALX is a hard folding tonneau cover built from four half-inch EnduraShield TPO panels on aluminum frames that sit flush with your truck's bed rails. It opens from the tailgate with a one-hand twist-and-lift rotary latch that catches itself shut on the way down. Fold the panels forward for two thirds of the bed, or stand the whole cover against the cab on its prop rods for the full box. Extruded seals run along every seam, it carries up to 500 lb spread evenly and it goes on in under an hour using its own rails and clamps, with no drilling. It is aimed at owners who want a low, factory-looking cover without giving up the bed. Part number 80352 is the 5'2" bed application for the 2023-2026 Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon.

Features
One-Hand Twist-and-Lift Latch The Secure Rotary Latch System sits at the tailgate. A twist of the handle and a lift releases the rear panel with one hand. Drop the cover back onto the rails and it latches itself, with no second catch to fasten.
Two Thirds or the Whole Bed Integrated nylon buckle straps hold the folded stack so it cannot shift on the road. When you want the box completely clear, built-in prop rods stand the whole cover flat against the cab in seconds.
Sealed at Every Seam Extruded weather seals run along each seam where panels meet and down both sides where the cover meets the bed rails. They are there to keep moisture out of the bed so your cargo stays protected from the weather.
Half-Inch TPO Panels, Aluminum Framed Each of the four panels is a half-inch-thick sheet of EnduraShield TPO, an automotive-grade polymer that resists impacts, scrapes and UV fading. An aluminum frame in each panel supplies the stiffness, enough for a 500 lb load spread evenly over it.
Clamp-On Install, No Drilling The cover sits on the rails that ship with it, held down by four clamps that bite onto the inner bed walls. Nothing on the truck gets cut, drilled or modified. Extang puts the whole fit at under an hour.
Flush Fit, Factory Look The Endure ALX sits low and flush with the bed rails. The aluminum frame wears a matte black EnduraCoat finish and the textured black polymer hinge caps match the panels and the factory rail caps, so it looks factory and wipes clean easily.

Everything you need for your Extang Endure ALX Hard Folding Tonneau Cover for 2023-2026 Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon (5'2" Bed), in one place.
Warranty. Extang's warranty stops the moment the cover is mishandled: driving with the panels folded but not buckled voids it, as does opening them before snow or ice is cleared off the top or towing the truck from its rear end. Accident damage, misuse, poor installation, modification and normal wear sit outside it too. What is covered is five years from the purchase date against defective materials or workmanship on the aluminum parts, bows, clamps, rails and hardware, for the original buyer with a dated receipt or registration on file. Claims start with a return authorization number from Extang customer service, with shipping back to Extang at your expense.
Free shipping. This item ships free to the lower 48 states. Because it is an oversized item, it ships by freight or oversized parcel and typically arrives in 3 to 7 business days.
Inspect on delivery. Please inspect the packaging before signing. If you see any damage, note it on the delivery receipt and contact us right away, and we will make it right.
About Extang
Extang builds tonneau covers under its own brand names and assembles this one in Michigan, listing it as made in America. EnduraShield is its name for the TPO panel material, EnduraCoat for the frame finish and Secure Rotary Latch for the handle system Extang says it engineered itself.
Extang's other hard folding covers are the Solid Fold Toolbox 2.0 and the Solid Fold ALX. It describes the Endure ALX as the flush-mounted, low-profile one that sits level with the bed rails. The cover carries a five-year limited warranty from the date it is bought.
The Endure ALX is not a one-truck part. Extang lists parts for full-size Ford, Chevrolet, GMC and Ram pickups, for midsize trucks like the Tacoma, Colorado, Canyon, Frontier and Ranger, then for the shorter beds on the Maverick, Ridgeline and Gladiator.
Endure ALX Fast Facts
The manufacturer's Fast Facts clip for the Endure ALX, about a minute and a half long. It is the short official overview of the cover rather than a walkthrough, so start here and use the install video below when you want the detail.
Installing on a 2020 Ram 2500
The official install video, a little over ten minutes, shot on a 2020 Ram 2500, follows the clamp-on installation from start to finish so you can judge the job before your own cover arrives. The install sheet for your part number covers any steps that differ on your truck.
Endure ALX at SEMA 2023
Just under two minutes of the Endure ALX filmed at the SEMA show in 2023 and posted by the manufacturer. Treat it as a look at the finished cover on a truck rather than a how-to, then go back to the install video above for the steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
Do I need to take the cover off to haul something tall?
No. Fold the panels forward and the rear two thirds of the box opens up, with the folded stack parked over the front. For a load that fills the bed, stand the cover flat against the cab on its prop rods instead. Whenever you drive with it folded, fasten both buckle straps first.
Will it keep rain out of the bed?
Extang calls the seals weatherproof and says they stop moisture getting into the bed. Beyond that the company does not publish any water rating, so for tools or gear that cannot get damp at all, a closed container inside the bed is still worth using.
How does the latch work, and does it lock?
The cover latches itself shut when you lower it onto the rails, but Extang does not list a keyed lock on it, so the tailgate lock is what secures the bed. Opening is a one-hand job: twist the handle and lift the rear panel free.
My truck has a RamBox, CarbonPro bed or Deck Rail System. Is there a version for it?
Yes. The Endure ALX line includes separate part numbers for Ram trucks with RamBox and silver cargo rails, for the GMC Sierra 1500 with the CarbonPro bed and for trucks fitted with the factory Deck Rail System. Set that option when you pick your truck and the right part number comes up. Trucks without those features use the standard part.
Can I fit this at home, or is it a shop job?
Yes, it is designed as an at-home job with ordinary hand tools, which are not supplied. What comes in the box is the cover, its rails, the clamps, the hardware and an install guide. Install sheets are written per truck, so work from the one that ships for your own part number rather than a video of a different model.
How should I clean and look after the cover?
Soap and water does the job, or Extang's own Tonno Tonic cleaner. Keep silicone-based conditioners off it. Clear the top of snow and ice before folding a panel. Do not let anything in the bed press up against the underside. That is the whole maintenance routine.
