Protection

One of the first things to consider when selecting a truck cover is the kind of protection your vehicle needs. Will it be stored in a garage or out in the elements? Will it need protection from precipitation, tree sap, bird droppings, and scratches? The location of your vehicle should largely determine what kind of cover will protect your truck best.

All Empire Covers are suited for outdoor use, however, some are best suited for different environments. Our Standard Cover provides light protection against the elements, and is more popular for indoor use. The Empire Deluxe Cover offers moderate outdoor protection, and is a step up from the Standard Cover in terms of dust and sun protection, but fares similarly against rain.

Empire offers several covers that are well suited to rain, including the only truly 100% Waterproof Car Cover on the market, the Empire Waterproof Cover. The Waterproof has ultrasonic, double-stitched seams and a micro-porous center that prevents moisture from getting through, but allows breathability.

The best cover for overall outdoor protection is the Max Cover. UV treated for protection against sun, highly water resistant, and three layers of breathable Endura Plus material set this cover apart in its superior protection against the elements. We offer this truck cover exclusively, and are so confident with its performance we offer a Lifetime Warranty.

Size

Most Empire truck covers are semi-custom, and we can fit virtually any vehicle. From Chevy to Toyota, we'll get you covered. All our covers have an elastic hem all the way around to ensure that the cover fits snugly and securely. We also offer a cable & lock kit to ensure that your cover stays secure to your truck.

It's important to get the right fit for your truck, and we have several ways to ensure that you purchase the correct sized cover. You can search by make, model and year, by dimensions (if you've measured your vehicle), or check out our body style chart. If you're unsure about sizing, please give us a call at (888)872-6855, and we'll be more than happy to help you find the right fit.
