Pro MX provides rugged protection for your truck bed and features a low-profile design that intensifies its look. One of its main features is an anti-rub canister which prevents it from coming in contact with itself when pushed into the canister. The heavy-duty aluminum slat helps to promote its wear resistance and allows it to cope efficiently with dust, dirt, and snow. The upper surface of this cover is highly modified to direct the upcoming water into the canister where the supplied drain tubes funnel it out.
