Why a Tonneau Cover is a Must-Have for Your Bakkie

Protect Your Cargo from Theft & Damage

Leaving your bakkie’s load bin uncovered puts your belongings at risk. Whether it’s expensive tools, weekend camping gear, or your daily shopping, a secure tonneau cover keeps everything protected from thieves and potential damage. Tonneau KING®’s soft tri-fold tonneau cover locks with the tailgate, ensuring your cargo stays safe.

Increase Fuel Efficiency

Driving with an open load bin creates wind resistance, forcing your bakkie to work harder and burn more fuel. A well-fitted cover reduces drag, helping to improve fuel efficiency by up to 10%. With rising fuel prices, a Tonneau KING® cover isn’t just about protection – it’s a smart way to save money in the long run.

Keep Your Load Clean & Dry

South African weather can be unpredictable, from heavy downpours to thick dust on gravel roads. The hardtop tonneau cover is completely weatherproof, ensuring your cargo stays dry and free from dust, no matter where you go.

Enhance Your Bakkie’s Style & Resale Value

Adding a tonneau cover doesn’t just make your bakkie look sleek and modern—it also protects the load bin from rust, scratches, and wear, helping maintain its resale value. Whether you choose a sturdy hardtop or a lightweight soft cover, your bakkie will stand out both in looks and functionality.

Choosing the Best Bakkie Cover for Your Needs

Selecting the best bakkie cover comes down to what matters most to you—security, ease of use, durability, or all of the above. At Tonneau KING®, we offer both soft tri-fold tonneau covers and hardtop tonneau covers, each with distinct advantages.
