A locked bed and a lid the same color as the body, for less than the flagship asks: that is the LUX, and this one is cut for the 5'1" box on the Toyota Tacoma. The LUX exists to put a factory paint code on a rigid lid without the flagship's price. Underneath the finish it is a single molded ABS polymer panel, hinged at the bulkhead and raised on struts, secured by a single-point center twist lock that comes with two keys. Its headliner is bare textured molding with an LED light and a lanyard pull strap on it. The lid closes over the bed caps and the tailgate, so one turn of the key secures the whole bed. UnderCover sprays this cover in 6 factory paint codes for this truck, and also supplies it unpainted for a body shop to finish. The brackets bolt and clamp to the inside of the box, so the Toyota Tacoma comes out of the job the way it went in. The part numbers are UC4056L in a factory paint code and UC4056S unpainted, both built for the 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma with the 5' (60.3") bed, which Toyota markets as the Toyota's "5-foot" bed.
About the color list and the photographs. The codes in the dropdown are every factory code UnderCover sprays this cover in, pooled across all the model years the cover fits. The list does not narrow itself when you pick a year, and factory paint offerings change from year to year, so read the code off your driver's door jamb sticker and match it exactly before you order. The photographs on this page show one painted lid in one color and stand for the product, not for the code you choose.

Features
Sprayed to Your Truck's Own Code
This is the tier you buy for the finish. UnderCover sprays the lid at its own paint line to the OEM code you pick, so the closed truck reads as one color from the cab to the back of the tailgate instead of a black panel dropped onto a painted body. UnderCover does not guarantee a 100% match, and says so in its printed warranty: paint varies from one truck to the next with age and sun, and some variance is normal.
The Paint Warranty at the Lower Price
The LUX and the Elite LX carry the same warranty structure, a limited lifetime term on the ABS polymer structure and on paint UnderCover applied itself, with one year on the gas struts and mounting hardware. What the LUX gives up to sit below the flagship is the carpeted headliner, the higher published load rating and the rotating-handle latch, not the finish or the warranty behind it.
Center Twist Lock, Two Keys
Security is a single-point locking system worked from a center twist lock, with a hinged weather cap over the cylinder and two keys in the box. One turn secures the whole lid, and because the lid overlaps the tailgate, that turn holds the tailgate closed with it.
Covers the Bed Caps and the Tailgate
The lid sits over the bed caps and across the tailgate rather than down inside the bed rails, so the rails themselves are under cover and the closed truck presents a continuous painted surface from the bulkhead to the back of the tailgate.
A Light and a Strap Underneath
UnderCover fits an LED light and a lanyard pull strap to the underside of the lid. The light is for the times you open the bed after dark, and the strap is what you use to bring the lid back down without reaching over the bed rail.
Lifts on Struts, Comes Off Entirely
The lid rises on its struts and stays up on its own while you load, with a prop rod behind the struts. When the load is taller than the bed the lid comes off the hinge completely, the brackets stay bolted to the truck, and the supplied J-hooks and wall screws give it somewhere to hang.
Bolted On, Nothing Drilled
The brackets clamp and bolt to the inside of the bed, and no UnderCover installation sheet for a one-piece cover asks you to drill the truck. A plastic drop-in bedliner is the exception that does need work: it may need minor trimming so the brackets seat flat. Trim the liner and never the mounting hardware, because modified hardware voids the warranty.

Fit guidance: Fits the 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma listed above with the 5' (60.3") bed, which Toyota markets as the Toyota's "5-foot" bed. Your truck must have the Deck Rail System. Paint codes follow the factory palette for each model year, so the code list on this page is the union across every year this cover fits and cannot narrow itself to your year. Match the code on your door jamb sticker. The lid closes over the bed caps and the tailgate, so the tailgate cannot be opened while the cover is closed and locked.

Installation
Tools: 3/8" wrench or socket and 1/2" wrench or socket · Help: Two people to set the lid on the truck
The mounting brackets bolt and clamp to the inside of the bed, the four-bar hinge on the lid drops onto the front brackets, and the struts snap onto the rear brackets by hand. Nothing is drilled into the truck.
The bracket positions are measured from the back face of the bulkhead, and on this application UnderCover's sheet gives the front bracket at 17 1/8" and the prop bracket at 38". Those figures are for this part number only; a sibling part on another bed uses different ones.
The factory Multi-Track tie-down cleats come out before the install starts. They can go back in once the cover is on.
No cutting or drilling is done to the truck itself. A plastic drop-in bedliner is a different matter: UnderCover's own sheet says a drop-in liner will need some minor trimming so the mounting brackets seat properly. A spray-in liner needs no work. Any modification is made to the liner and never to the UnderCover mounting hardware, because modified hardware voids the warranty.

Warranty, Shipping & Returns
Warranty. UnderCover's printed terms for the one-piece covers warrant the ABS polymer structure of the LUX to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the life of the product, and warrant the gas and hydraulic lift struts and the mounting hardware for one (1) year from the date of purchase. On top of that, covers painted at UnderCover's own factory carry the UnderCover Lifetime Paint Warranty: for the life of the product the exterior paint will not abnormally fade or peel from a material or workmanship defect faster than the paint on the truck it is fitted to. That paint term is what this tier is for, and it is explicit that covers not painted at the UnderCover factory are excluded, so an unpainted lid finished by your own body shop is covered for structure and components but not for paint. UnderCover also does not guarantee a 100% paint match. The warranty runs to the original purchaser, on the original truck, when the cover is bought from an authorized dealer, and registration and claims are handled by the manufacturer. Four conditions in the printed terms catch people out more than the rest. Do not drive with the lid in the open position and never tie it down while it is open, because that loads the front hinges and can crack them, and that damage is not treated as a manufacturer defect. When the lid is closed it should be locked with the tailgate up. Use only cleaners, waxes and products labeled safe for use on plastics, and keep insecticides and solvents off the lid. Any trimming needed to fit the brackets is done to the bedliner and never to the mounting hardware, because modifying the hardware voids the warranty. Free shipping. The LUX is a rigid one-piece lid in a carton a little over seven feet long, so it moves by freight rather than by parcel carrier, and it still ships free within the contiguous United States. The carrier will contact you to arrange a delivery window, and delivery is to the curb. Inspect on delivery. A long, shallow carton is the part that takes the knocks, and a painted lid shows a scuff that a black one hides, so open it and look at the finish before you sign for it. If the carton is crushed, torn or soaked, write that on the delivery paperwork and tell us the same day so we can get a replacement moving.
About UnderCover
UnderCover is part of the RealTruck group of truck accessory brands and builds hard folding and one-piece bed covers for full-size and mid-size pickups. The LUX carries a limited lifetime warranty on its structure and on paint applied at the UnderCover factory, with one year on the struts and mounting hardware, and warranty registration, claims and replacement parts are handled by the manufacturer.
LUX is the lower-priced of UnderCover's two painted one-piece covers, finished to an OEM paint code with a center twist lock and a molded textured underside. Elite LX is the flagship above it, adding a carpeted headliner, a published 500 lb load rating and a rotating-handle latch with an integrated thumb lock. Elite and SE are the matte black one-piece covers, which trade the paint warranty for a lower price. If a rigid lid is not the format you want, UnderCover's folding range gives up one-piece rigidity for panels that fold to the cab: ArmorFlex with its Multi-Shield coating, Ultra Flex, the gloss black Flex and the entry-level Select.
The LUX is built as a single molded lid on an ABS polymer structure, hinged at the bulkhead and held up by struts with a prop rod behind them. The underside is left as the bare black textured molding and carries an LED light and a lanyard pull strap. The lid overlaps the bed caps and the tailgate rather than sitting inside the bed rails, and it mounts on bolt-on brackets and clamps with nothing drilled into the truck.
Prestige Truck is an authorized UnderCover dealer. Every cover we ship is new, in the factory carton, and covered by UnderCover's warranty direct from the manufacturer.
