Truck covers
Looking into truck covers . Probably indoor type . If anybody has had good luck with a particular brand or type it would be great to hear it . My main concern is keeping the paint nice and a soft cover .

Re: Truck covers
www.calcarcovers.com is where I buy all my covers & they have many options to choose from but they arent cheap.
I have 2 of them right now. The one for my black truck is a Plushweave series that is supposed to be a "paint pampering" cover. |

Re: Truck covers

No if's, and's or but's about it.

Re: Truck covers
I use the california car cover on some of my trucks and they work well. They have an outside cover that works great on keeping the weather out and also the fine dust that most covers seem to get under them. They also have great warranty service if you have a problem with their covers.
