5 Outdoor Activities You Can Use a Tonneau Cover For

Bike, Camp, Fish & More Better Than Ever Before

Trucks and outdoor adventures go hand-in-hand. With the right assemblage of aftermarket pickup accessories, just about any trek can be made that much better. An aggressive suspension lift and bigger, beefier tires are usually the first go-to modifications for off-truck enthusiasts, but without the bed’s cargo carrying capacity truly maximized, there is a definite limit to the amount of gear that can be packed along for the ride. This is where choosing the right tonneau cover enters the equation. Not only do these tonneau covers cap the bed and protect your precious stuff packed inside the bed, but the right one will also allow for increased hauling and securing those important items that might have otherwise had to stay home due to insufficient storage space. 

Well, those days of having to decide whether or not there would be room in the truck to bring a bicycle or two along for the trip or enough fishing equipment for the whole crew are officially over. Retractable style tonneau covers allow you to pack more stuff quickly and easily, and Mountain Top’s EVO-M retractable cover definitely goes above and beyond. Not only does the cover offer protection and security of the cargo below, but the all-aluminum EVO-M was designed with built-in accessory tracks that work in tandem with crossbar systems from Rhino Rack, Thule and Yakima. So not only will you get to take advantage of inner bed space for storage, but also the top of the EVO-M tonneau cover as well, which will prove to be an invaluable change in the game from here on out. 

With this much newfound utility added to your truck’s bed space, how do you plan to use it when loading up for your next trip into the great outdoors? Well, if you’re drawing a blank due to the sudden wave of excitement, allow us to propose a few getaway ideas and just how you can fully utilize Mountain Top’s EVO-M retractable tonneau cover. 

1. BICYCLING

Mountain biking is fun and all, but sometimes packing bikes up for an extended trip out of town can become a tad bit stressful and inconvenient. There are so many different ways and products on the market that can load one or more bicycles, but take a look how Mountain Top’s EVO-M retractable bed cover can help make the task more manageable. Utilizing the built-in accessory tracks in the cover, you can select from your favorite loading accessories from some of the top brands in the industry to secure bikes to the top of the cover. You won’t have to sacrifice precious cargo space in the bed to bring the bikes along, and they’ll be locked down nicely and tucked neatly out of the way. Once you see how easy the process is, you’ll be planning more trips to ride in the very near future. 

2. FISHING

Another fun outdoor activity that can possibly require a lot of gear is fishing. Aside from the poles, nets, tackle, ice chests, boots and waders—whatever else you require and prefer to have by your side, there are also plenty more items you’ll need to pack that that you haven’t even accounted for yet. Another item that could be prove to be handy and potentially easy to pack along thanks to the EVO-M’s built-in accessory tracks is a kayak (or two). Hey, you just never know what you’ll want to pack along for your next fishing excursion, but at least with this retractable tonneau cover, bringing more is never a restrictive issue as it once was in the past. Select accessories from Rhino Rack, Thule and Yakima can make it all happen with ease. 

3. CAMPING

Everyone’s favorite thing to do outdoors has got to be camping—hands down. There’s nothing quite like sleeping under the stars and building a fire to cook breakfast in the morning. Similar to other outdoor activities, camping also requires quite a bit of gear to ensure a successful trip away from the modern conveniences of life in the city. For those who would prefer to not set up camp on the ground, the EVO-M bed cover will offer a unique situation to your outdoor sleeping situation. The cover’s aluminum construction and unique design allows it to support over 450 pounds of dispersed weight, meaning that you could roll out a sleeping bag or two and catch some Z’s on top of the cover while your gear is locked away safely underneath. You could even pitch one of those cool truck bed tents as well for added comfort. 

4. HIKING, HUNTING, & MORE!

Whether you’re into hiking, hunting, rock climbing, or just enjoying life on the road, the EVO-M tonneau cover will be there to make sure you’re able to make the most out of your journey. Organize all the gear inside the bed and take full advantage of the built-in rack system to build up your truck’s accessory storage game. There’s nothing you can’t do, and nothing you’ll have to leave behind back at home. 

5. STORE SAFELY

There’s a so much you can do with your truck after it’s equipped with Mountain Top’s retractable EVO-M tonneau cover. It offers a sense of security as it keeps all of your pricey belongings right where they’re at and away from the grasp of thieves and vandals. The cover features a patented knife-proof, impenetrable slate system that locks down without the use of an outer lock or handle that could easily be tampered with. The cover locks from underneath, and once the tailgate is sealed up and secured so is the EVO-M. Your mind will be at ease while you’re away from your truck riding bikes, fishing, kayaking, hiking, or whatever else it is you drove hours away from home to do. Sometimes the best modification to your truck isn’t the one that boasts about giving you more, but the one that helps keep what’s already yours. Piece of mind is worth a lot these days, and you’ll get just that with Mountain Top’s EVO-M retractable tonneau cover.
