A little about Truck Hero
Truck Hero, Inc. is an American manufacturer and supplier of accessories for trucks and jeeps.
It offers all truck accessories including tonneau covers, running boards, toolboxes, hood shields, vent visors, bed liners, truck racks, floor liners, fender flares and so much more.
This is one of its strong points as you can get any accessories you need, even leveling and suspension kits.
Truck Hero also sells all types of truck bed covers: soft, hard, roll-up, folding, retractable, and hinged.
The company is headquartered in Ann, Arbor Michigan, with Bill Reminder as the CEO.
How it all started
In 2007, Extang was the leading manufacturer of tri-fold and snap tonneau covers. At the same time, TruXedo was dominating in soft roll-up covers.

Are the tonneau covers from Truck Hero really worth it?
Simple answer, yes!
Most of its brands offer some of the best-selling covers in the market.
A good example is the hard folding tonneau cover series, BAKFlip, from BAK Industries.
You can read our article on BAK Tonneau Covers to see all the different options and designs.
Going with an UnderCover hard tonneau is also not a bad idea.
Our article on the reasons to buy an UnderCover tonneau cover highlights all the features unique to UnderCover.
The soft roll-ups from Lund International are not only affordable but also have tough construction. This construction is stronger than most soft roll-ups.
Not to mention, the retractable covers from Retrax are the most popular in the market. This is because of the precise workmanship as well as the hard-rolling engineering and automatic operation.
Retrax is among the few companies to make electric retractable covers.
