The 8ft Soft Roll-Up Tonneau spans the full 96.3 inches of your Ram’s long bed with heavy-duty PVC fabric and aircraft-grade aluminum rails built to handle the extra real estate without sagging or flapping. Whether you’re a contractor hauling lumber, a farmer moving equipment, or just someone who needs every inch of bed space, this cover keeps your cargo protected and your truck looking clean.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt highway speeds, longer covers are more prone to wind lift — which is why this one features reinforced cross-bows and an adjustable tension system that keeps the fabric drum-tight from cab to tailgate.
