Crew Cab (5.7ft Bed) Truck Cover

[Jwhitty27]

Does anyone have good recommendations for a truck cover to protect my paint and rubber trims from the sun?

I recently got a company vehicle and my truck is going to be sitting in my driveway most of the week. Unfortunately, there isn't much shade at my house from 12-6PM so I'd like to cover it while it sits during the day.

Thanks for the reply!

I use a "car" cover on my 2021 Ram (crew cab with 5'7" bed). I purchased it from Carcover.com. It is the Gold Shield 5L.

I fits best with the side mirrors folded in. Other than that, I love.

How long have you had it? I've see some complaints about these covers failing in 2 months with the fleece liner leaving dust residue over the vehicle. Have you had experience with this?

I started using the cover as soon as my Ram was delivered (end of May). The truck is under partial shade from Mid-afternoon on. There is some dust left on the vehicle, but after a wash I haven't seen any marks in the paint. In the heat and sun in Arizona, I don't think buying the $500+ car cover will fair any better. So far, the cover is holding up great.

As a side note...prior to buying my Ram I had 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser. At the time I was living in Califorina (South Orange County) where the temps are a lot milder. Since the FJ sat outside, I ordered a more expensive car cover from a different company (Covercraft.com). It barely lasted three years before it fell apart. I then ordered a less expensive cover from Carcover.com for the FJ and it lasted (w/o any rips) until I sold the FJ back in March. The "cheaper" cover was almost four years old.
