Jeep Gladiator Tonneau Cover Guide

This guide is for owners of a 2020 or newer Jeep Gladiator choosing a tonneau cover. The Gladiator covers here all carry the same year range in their titles, so the decision comes down to how the cover opens, whether your bed has a rail system, and what you want the cover to carry or resist.

What to check first on a Gladiator

• Years. Every cover below is titled 2020+ or 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator, and all of them are on Tonneau Covers for 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator.
• Bed. The fitment tables for these covers list one Gladiator bed, and the UnderCover Armorflex title states a 5 ft bed. Confirm on the product page all the same.
• Rail system. Some Gladiator cover titles, among them the Extang 80895 below, say the cover is for a bed without a rail system. If your bed has a rail system, treat that wording as a fitment condition and check the product page.

How the cover opens

A tonneau cover closes over the open cargo box of a pickup to hide and shelter what is carried inside; depending on the design it rolls, folds, retracts or lifts open. On the Gladiator, the choices in this guide are:

• Soft roll-up: a tensioned vinyl sheet on a rail system that rolls forward to open the bed.
• Hard roll-up: interlocking aluminum slats under a vinyl or woven surface that roll to the cab, as TruXedo describes its Sentry covers.
• Hard folding: rigid panels that fold forward in sections and can usually be driven with the panels stacked.

Road salt and slush ride into the bed for months each winter, so read the seal details below where a maker gives them.

Roll-up covers

• TruXedo Tonneau Cover Soft Rolling LoPro, 2020+ Jeep Gladiator: a soft roll-up cover. TruXedo's listing gives little beyond that, so read the product page for details.
• Truxedo Tonneau Cover, 2020+ Jeep Gladiator (TRX1523201): the Sentry hard roll-up. Interlocking aluminum slats under a leather-grained vinyl cover roll to the cab for 100 percent bed access, and patented level-2 locks with a tension cable secure the closed cover.
• Truxedo Tonneau Cover, 2020+ Jeep Gladiator (TRX1523216): the Sentry CT hard roll-up. Interlocking aluminum slats under a 5-layer RTxTechWeave surface support up to 400 lbs of evenly distributed weight, and it rolls to the cab for 100 percent bed access.

Hard folding covers

• Extang Hard Folding Tonneau Cover, 2020+ Jeep Gladiator: a hard folding cover; Extang's listing adds only that it fits the 2020-2026 Gladiator.
• UnderCover Hard Folding Tonneau Cover, 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator (UNDUX32010): the Ultra Flex. An aluminum surface over a high-density polymer core is rated for up to 400 lbs evenly distributed, and automatic slam latches lock every panel when the cover closes.
• UnderCover 2020-2026 Gladiator Undercover Armorflex 5 ft Bed: heavy-duty panels carry a Multi-Shield automotive coating against dents and scuffs, and a dual-action tailgate seal lets the tailgate close with the last panel up or down. See all UnderCover Tonneau Covers.
• BAK Industries Hard Folding Tonneau Cover, 2020+ Jeep Gladiator (BAK449701TS): the BAKFlip MX4 TS. Heavy-duty aluminum top panels flip forward to the cab and are held by integrated prop rods, while T-slot channels in the bed rails take crossbars, racks and cargo baskets.
• Extang Hard Folding Tonneau Cover, 2020+ Jeep Gladiator (JT, With Out Rail System): a hard folding cover for the Gladiator JT; the title's rail-system wording is the detail to check.

FAQ

Do Gladiator tonneau covers fit every model year?

The covers in this guide are titled 2020+ or 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator. Each product page lists the exact years in its fitment table; use the vehicle selector to confirm yours.

What does Without Rail System mean in a title?

Some Gladiator cover titles say Without Rail System (the Extang 80895 title spells it With Out Rail System). Read that as a fitment condition: if your bed has a rail system, check the product page before ordering.

Can I keep a rack on my Gladiator with a tonneau cover?

BAK says the T-slot channels in the bed rails of the BAKFlip MX4 TS take crossbars, racks and cargo baskets. The rack is a separate part.

Can I close the tailgate with a folding cover partly open?

UnderCover says the Armor Flex has a dual-action tailgate seal that lets the tailgate close with the last panel up or down. For other covers, check the product page.
