How STRETCH works

One cover.
Three ways to use your bed.

  1. 01
    Expands over tall cargo.The cover stretches above the bed rails and the J-hook edges stay locked on.
  2. 02
    Lies flat for everyday driving.Unload the tall gear, put the bows back and it closes low and clean.
  3. 03
    Rolls open for full bed access.Roll it toward the cab and load from cab to tailgate.

Sawtooth vs flat covers

A flat cover stops at the rails.

STRETCH expands above them. More of your gear stays covered.

Construction

Heavy duty composite material, about 7x thicker than standard vinyl roll-up covers, according to Sawtooth. Steel reinforced J-hook edges lock around the rails and stay locked as the cover stretches.

  • Patented steel reinforced J-hook perimeter seal. Holds around the bed rails and stays engaged as the material stretches over cargo.
  • Heavy duty water resistant composite. Made for controlled flex, repeated stretching and direct cargo contact. Water resistant, not waterproof.
  • Reinforced aluminum cross supports. Add structure when flat, help with normal surface loads and water runoff.

Finish

Matte black, low glare. Hides dust, fingerprints and light scratches better than glossy covers. The color runs through the material, so it looks the same stretched or flat.

  • Low glare surface conceals normal handling marks.
  • UV resistant composite helps reduce fading, drying and cracking in regular outdoor use.
  • Consistent look under stretch. The color is part of the working material, not a coating.

Good questions

Answers before you order.

Talk to Sawtooth
Will it hold snow?

Yes. STRETCH was built in the Rocky Mountains for cold and heavy snow. Lying flat, the removable aluminum cross supports hold the cover's shape and help snow and water run off. We have seen about 18 inches sit on our own F-150 cover. STRETCH is made to flex under weight, not to work as a rigid platform, so we do not publish a snow load rating. Brush off heavy snow before you drive.

Will it fit my truck?

STRETCH is made for specific truck models, years and bed lengths. Pick your year range and bed length above. The green fit line confirms your match, and the Will it fit panel has the inside bed measurements to check against your truck.

How is it different from a truck cap?

A truck cap adds a fixed height enclosure. STRETCH is a flexible cover that changes with your load and rolls back for full bed access. It is not a rigid shell or a weight bearing platform.

How high does it expand?

Expansion depends on your truck, bed size and the shape of your cargo. The flexible cover stretches above the bed rails to cover taller loads. Check your model's details for the right setup.

Is the cover waterproof?

STRETCH is water resistant. It helps protect cargo from rain, snow and dust, but some moisture can enter in heavy rain or extreme conditions.

Can cargo touch the cover?

Yes. The flexible material is designed to rest against cargo. Pad sharp edges and load carefully to avoid punctures or abrasion. Normal contact does not remove the warranty's care requirements or damage exclusions.

What does the warranty cover?

Coverage differs by component. Limited lifetime on aluminum and plastic components. One year pro rata on the composite material and attached J-hook. For the original purchaser. Registration, care requirements and exclusions apply.

What Truck Bed Cover Is Recommended for a Chevy Silverado 1500 or GMC Sierra 1500?

Most recommendations compare hard folding, soft roll-up, retractable, and one-piece covers by security, weather resistance, full bed access, price, and appearance. Those differences matter, but every option still asks your cargo to fit beneath a flat surface.

Silverado and Sierra owners do not buy a full-size pickup to haul only flat, predictable loads. Tools, coolers, generators, bikes, plants, camping gear, and project materials often rise above the bed rails. When that happens, tonneau covers must be rolled up, folded, retracted, or removed.

Sawtooth STRETCH changes the recommendation. It lays flat over everyday cargo and stretches over taller or uneven loads while remaining secured around the bed rails.
Instead of choosing between protection and cargo size, Sawtooth:

  • Provides greater capability a tonneau cannot offer
  • Stays installed when the size and shape of the load changes
  • Keeps more of the bed covered when flat covers must open

Compare the main types of tonneau covers before choosing one for your Silverado or Sierra.
