Lo Pro is the model that made TruXedo's name, and what makes it is where the side rails go. They seat down inside the box instead of straddling the bed rails, which leaves the shut cover standing a bare 3/4" proud of the rail line and the truck wearing its own profile. Beneath the leather-grain vinyl, a patented spring tensioner and a floating strip of hook-and-loop pull against one another to keep the surface drum tight right through the year, while a single anodized trigger latch lets the whole thing go under one finger. Work down to your vehicle below and you will reach its part number, its price and the notes written for that truck.

Features
Rails Inside the Bed Most soft roll-ups bolt their tracks on top of the bed rails, which raises the whole cover by the height of the track. TruXedo drops the Lo Pro's rails down inside the bed instead, so the closed cover finishes 3/4" above the rail line. That single decision is what the model is for: the truck keeps its own shoulder line, and the cover reads as part of the bed rather than as something bolted over it.
Tension That Adjusts Itself A patented spring tensioner works against a floating hook-and-loop strip, so the vinyl is pulled flat by the mechanism rather than by how hard you tugged it when you fitted it. Soft covers go slack in the cold and tighten in the heat; this one takes that up on its own through the year, and there is no turnbuckle, ratchet or seasonal adjustment anywhere on the cover.
One Finger on the Trigger The rear latch is a single anodized trigger you release with one finger, standing at the tailgate with a load in your other hand. The cover then rolls forward to the bulkhead and buckles down with its integrated straps. Nothing has to be unclipped at the corners first and nothing needs a second person, which is the practical difference between a cover you open daily and one you leave shut.
Leather Grain Over Powder Coat The top is industrial-grade tear-resistant vinyl in a leather grain, and beneath it sits an aluminum frame carrying a gloss black powder coat rather than bare or painted extrusion. From the side of the truck it is a better-looking cover than the price suggests, and the powder coat is the part that goes on surviving winters where paint would start to lift at the edges.
Sealed at Both Ends Rubber seals close the gap at the bulkhead and at the tailgate, and hook-and-loop runs the full length of both side rails between them. Press that hook-and-loop down with the flat of your hand every time you shut the cover, including part way through a long trip. The word waterproof never appears in TruXedo's material and it will not appear in ours, but a cover closed properly at all four edges is the difference between a damp corner and a wet bed.
Comes Off Without Tools On most applications the Lo Pro carries TruXedo's quick-release system, which lets you lift the whole cover out of the rails in moments and get the full bed back for a tall load, then drop it in again afterwards without a single tool. A handful of trucks cannot take it because of how their beds are shaped, and where that is the case the fitment notes on that truck's page say so outright rather than leaving you to find out.
Fitment & Compatibility
{{PENDING_FITMENT_TABLE:truxedo-lo-pro}}
Fit guidance: There is one Lo Pro per truck and per box length, with the rails cut to size before they ship. Work down the table above to your vehicle and it will take you to the part number you need. Two things are worth a look first. If your truck was offered with more than one box, run a tape from the inside face of the bulkhead to the inside face of the closed tailgate, because a manufacturer's name for a box and its measured length are often two different numbers. And if there is a factory deck-rail or cargo-rail system on the truck, the notes on that part's page say whether the cover lives with it, depends on it, or needs it taken off.

Installation
Type: Clamp-on, rails inside the bed · Time: Under an hour · Difficulty: Level 1, one person
The rails drop down inside the box and clamp there, the rolled cover settles into the channel and the header shuts onto the tailgate. Every Lo Pro leaves the factory with its rails already sized to the truck it was ordered against, so there is nothing to measure and nothing to trim. A single part breaks the no-drilling rule: the GMC Sierra 1500 ordered with the CarbonPro composite box, which needs a pair of openings through the truck's plastic bed cap made with guides that come in the carton. Its listing states that and links the supplemental sheet. Since tools and torque move from truck to truck, the guide that matters is the one on your own vehicle's page.

Lo Pro Soft Roll-Up Tonneau Cover Installation Sheet (PDF), Document 1118953, revision D. This is the series guide, naming no vehicle, so the steps are shared across trucks while the rails in your carton were cut for yours. It also carries the full warranty terms and the care instructions in print.
Warranty, Shipping & Returns
Warranty. A limited lifetime term on the hard parts, which TruXedo spells out as the rails, the clamps and the bows, plus a limited lifetime term on the fabric. Both run against faults in material or workmanship, both belong to the first owner alone, and neither travels with the truck when you sell it. Keep a dated receipt and register the cover online, which the brand asks for and which decides a claim years later. Where the cover was bought matters just as much: TruXedo states in print that a cover bought from eBay or an unrecognized online seller can arrive used, defective or short of parts, and it declines claims on those. We are a dealer TruXedo recognizes. Its written conditions deserve a minute of your time. Mild automotive soap and water is the cleaning instruction. A vinyl protectant sold specifically for tonneau covers is permitted; anything carrying silicone or petroleum is not. Never set off with the cover partly open. Never let a load lean on the fabric or tie anything to the frame. And if the truck is going onto a hook backwards, roll the cover right open and strap it down first.
Free shipping. Lo Pro covers travel as parcel rather than LTL freight, which means no lift-gate fee and no delivery window to sit and wait through. In-stock orders generally go out within 1 to 2 business days of landing with us.
Inspect on delivery. Unpack the carton before the driver pulls away and look over the rails, the trigger latch and the vinyl. A line written onto the receipt there and then is what makes a fast replacement possible; a report that arrives days afterwards rarely moves as quickly.
Returns. Unused items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. If an item arrives damaged, defective or wrong, return shipping is on us. See our Returns & Refunds Policy, or email support@prestigetruck.com with any question.
About TruXedo
TruXedo assembles its roll-up covers in Yankton, South Dakota, some topped in vinyl and some built on hard slats. Its warranty goes to the person who buys a cover new, will not follow the truck to its next owner, and applies only when the cover was supplied by a dealer the brand has authorized. The brand is unusually blunt about it in print, cautioning that a cover bought from eBay or an unrecognized online seller can arrive used, defective or short of parts, with nothing standing behind it. Going through an authorized dealer is what makes a limited lifetime term worth having.
Lo Pro is the cover that made the brand's name, and it sits one step above TruXport, the entry model in vinyl. What separates it is the rail: TruXedo mounts it inside the bed rather than over the bed rails, which is where the low closed profile comes from. Move further up the range and the surface changes rather than the geometry. Pro X15 and Pro X15 TS swap vinyl for the brand's RTxTechWeave canvas, with the TS adding T-slot rails for a rack. On the Deuce the leading section hinges forward instead of only rolling back. The Sentry and Sentry CT leave fabric behind entirely for interlocking aluminum slats that lock. Lo Pro stays a soft cover and spends its money on the profile, the tensioner and the one-finger latch.
Everything the company makes rests on aluminum framing, topped either in industrial vinyl or in the canvas it weaves for itself. Fitting is a clamp job on all but a handful of parts, with no hole going into the truck. What TruXedo patents is the way its covers hold themselves taut and the way they shut, so that the surface never needs an owner reaching for an adjuster twice a year.

Sits just above the bed rail
The Lo Pro's side rails mount down inside the bed rather than over the top of the bed rails, so the closed cover finishes only 3/4" above the rail line. That is the whole idea of the model. From a few steps back the truck keeps its own shoulder line and reads as if nothing were fitted, and you still have a vinyl top that releases on one finger and rolls forward to the bulkhead whenever you need the box open.

Leather grain vinyl over aluminum
The top is industrial-grade leather-grain vinyl and the frame beneath it is aluminum in a gloss black powder coat, so the cover looks better from the side of the truck than its price suggests and holds that finish through the seasons. A patented spring tensioner does the work of keeping it flat: soft covers slacken in the cold and draw tight in the heat, and this one takes up the difference on its own, with no turnbuckle to reach for and nothing to set twice a year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
Will rain get past the seals into my bed?
Rubber seals shut the gap at the bulkhead and the tailgate, hook-and-loop runs between them along both rails, and in normal weather that is enough. The word waterproof appears nowhere in TruXedo's material and we are not going to add it; the brand's safety notes state that the cover is not airtight and that cargo needs care if it must stay clean and dry. Corners are where owners report trouble, and the cause is nearly always one of two things: rails that are not sitting level front to back, or hook-and-loop that was never pressed home after the last close. Get both right, prep the seal surfaces with alcohol so the adhesive really takes, and reckon on a trace of damp near the tailgate in a hard downpour.
Water pools on top after it rains. Is that normal?
Yes, and TruXedo prints the reason in its own sheet. The bows are made to lie flat instead of arching, which is part of how the closed cover stays low, and flat means standing water after heavy rain. Drive the truck and it runs off. If the pool is deeper than you want to live with, work back along both rails and press the hook-and-loop down properly. Tension across the surface is what leaves the water nowhere to gather.
How low does it actually sit, and will it clear my factory bed rails?
3/4" above the bed rail with the cover closed, and it gets there by mounting its side rails inside the bed instead of over the top of the rails. That is genuinely lower than a conventional soft roll-up, though it is a soft cover and not a flush hard one, which is worth knowing if you are comparing it against a low-profile hard folding cover. Where a truck carries a factory deck-rail or cargo-rail system, whether the Lo Pro works alongside it, needs it, or needs it removed is set out in the fitment notes on that truck's page. Read those before you order rather than after.
Is any drilling involved in fitting it?
Not on any Lo Pro application except one. The rails clamp down inside the bed, nothing is cut, and the whole assembly lifts back out when the truck changes hands. The single exception is the GMC Sierra 1500 ordered with the CarbonPro composite bed, part number 574301, and we would sooner tell you now than have you discover it with the carton open. That bed is capped in plastic. TruXedo puts two drill guides in the box and has you make a 7 mm opening through the cap at every mounting point along both sides. Underneath, the sheet metal already carries a factory thread, so no hole goes into the truck's structure, though the plastic cap is permanently changed. That part's page sets this out under Installation and links the supplemental sheet so you can read it before you commit.
Can I take the cover right off, and does every version come off without tools?
Most do. TruXedo's quick-release system lets you lift the cover out of its rails in moments with no tools, which is what you want for a tall load, and drop it back in afterwards. It is not universal: a small number of trucks cannot take it because of how the bed is shaped, and TruXedo says so in the fitment notes for those parts rather than in small print. If the quick-release system matters to you, check the notes on your truck's page before you order, and check the specifications list on that page, where the removal row is present only if that part has it.
How should I clean it, and what voids the limited lifetime warranty?
Mild automotive soap and water. TruXedo allows a vinyl protectant made specifically for tonneau covers, and rules out anything containing silicone or petroleum. It does not say anywhere in the Lo Pro documentation that the cover may go through an automatic car wash, so wash it by hand rather than assume. On the warranty itself: it is limited lifetime on the rails, clamps and bows and limited lifetime on the fabric, to the first owner, not transferable, and TruXedo asks you to register it. Failing to follow the care instructions voids it, and so does driving with the cover part way open, letting cargo press against the fabric, tying a load to the frame, or towing the truck backwards without the cover rolled open and strapped.
