Access covers are designed to enhance today’s trucks. With its ability to fully open and close in seconds, it will easily blend with any lifestyle. When closed the tonneau is secured by the automatic latching system; when open, the storage straps secure it neatly and compactly behind the cab for hauling. There’s never a need to remove the cover, as it rolls up neatly and compactly behind the truck cab. If you’re not hauling big items it’s best to keep the cover closed, as gas mileage will increase by as much as 10%. The aerodynamics of the cover keeps the wind from hitting your tailgate.

There’s no need to worry about the weather conditions either; the Access is built to withstand the toughest winters and the hottest summers. The Access cover material is made of a textured heavy duty, double-coated, UV protected reinforced vinyl that remains flexible at -40F and is stretch and shrink resistant.

The element seal that comes standard makes a tight fit by sealing the gaps at the front of the cover and combined with the fabric flap located at both front and rear of the cover, makes the Access virtually element proof.

When the weather cools down, there’s no reason the active season needs to end. As campgrounds become less crowded and the weather cools down, fall conditions can make for some of the more pleasant outdoor experiences. And let’s not forget it’s also hunting season.

If you’re used to only getting outdoors in the summer, you’re in for a whole new experience with the crisp air, fresh scents and colorful leaves that come along with a shift in the season. Before you head out, take a look at this checklist to ensure you and your belongings remain warm and dry:

* Bring more clothes than you’ll think you’ll need. You can always put more clothes on, as long as you have them. In cold weather, it’s just as important to stay dry, as it is to stay warm. So if you work up a sweat with your afternoon activity, it’s a good idea to change into dry clothes for the evening.

* Concentrate on keeping your hands, feet and head warm. These are common places for heat to escape your body. Dry-fit socks are a good investment to keep your feet warm. You may also find that the extra pair of gloves or the handwarmers you packed will go a long way toward keeping you toasty.

* If you plan on being outside a lot, a campfire will keep you warm all night. Make sure you have enough wood and scout out places where you can buy firewood before you head out. Transporting wood over long distances is not recommended, as you can unwittingly transport invasive species like the emerald ash borer. Depending on the size of the fire, dryness and type of wood, a bundle of wood will last one to two hours.

* If you plan on camping, make sure you have a properly rated sleeping bag. Most sleeping bags come with ratings that will tell you the lowest temperature at which they’ll remain comfortable.

* As you’ll probably need more gear for a cold-weather outdoors trip, consider options for storing it. If there’s no place at your destination to keep your gear warm and dry, considering bringing a tarp to protect it. A storage device, such as a truck bed cover that both keeps your gear secure and protected from the elements can provide the ideal storage solution. For example, the Access Roll-Up Cover offered by Agri-Cover can be fitted to your truck and locked so you don’t have to worry about your belongings getting wet or stolen while you are out exploring.

With the proper preparation, cold weather outdoors trips can offer you a new and interesting recreational experience, and it may prove to be more comfortable than you previously thought.

With the high cost of fuel, many pickup owners are feeling the burn at the pump. While some consumers may be able to purchase a new truck that gets better gas mileage, many of us are financially stuck with the truck we currently have. To cope, there are several things you can do to save gas money now.

Oil it up: As most auto body technicians will tell you, checking and changing your oil is one of the most overlooked items. Clean oil reduces wear caused by friction between moving parts and removes harmful substances from the engine, ensuring your engine will run at peak performance. And don’t forget to keep it clean. You can increase your gas mileage up to 10 percent by ensuring your oil, air and fuel filters are clean.

Fill it up: Fill up with the lowest octane gasoline possible for your vehicle. That pricey premium fuel won’t boost your truck’s fuel economy or performance. Passing on pricey premium gasoline could save you hundreds of dollars a year, according to the Car Care Council. The council also suggests tightening your gas cap because fuel will evaporate from your tank if it has an escape. Loose, missing or damaged gas caps cause 147 million gallons of gas to evaporate each year, according to the Car Care Council. So be sure to tighten up that gas cap each time you fill up.

Pump it up: Check your tires to make sure they’re properly inflated and aligned. Proper inflation can improve gas mileage up to 3 percent. If you don’t know what the right pressure is for your tires and truck, consult your owner’s manual or stop in at your local tire shop.

Ease on up: It’s hard to make changes, but if you really want to see increased gas mileage, it’s suggested you avoid unnecessary idling, revving your engine and slamming on the brakes. It is recommended that you stop and start gently, use cruise control when possible and reduce the amount of trips you make each day.

Roll on down the road: The easiest and most rewarding step you can take to see immediate gas mileage improvement is to install a truck bed cover on your pickup. A truck bed cover, also known as a tonneau cover, will reduce drag, making your vehicle more aerodynamic at high speeds. There are several different tonneau cover options available on the market today.

The Access Roll-Up Tonneau Cover, manufactured by Agri-Cover, Inc., a North Dakota truck accessory company, is an affordable and high-quality option. Made of heavy-duty, double coated vinyl, the roll-up cover installs quickly and easily with a clamp-on installation and is designed specifically to fit your truck. Since the roll-up cover is lockable, it’s also great for protecting your gear, all while improving the overall look of your vehicle. When not in use, the cover can be rolled up behind the cab and never has to be removed when hauling larger items. The company estimates that you can save over $300 within the first year of installing an Access Roll-Up Coveron your truck bed.
