2013 RAM 3500 8' Hard Folding Truck Bed Cover

Premium Low Profile Aluminum Truck Bed Cover

The Longest Working Bed Gets the Strongest Cover — Built for the Mid-Cycle Refresh 2013 RAM 3500

The refresh elevated the interior experience of the RAM 3500 without touching the proven heavy-duty bed architecture — the fourth-generation bed rail geometry carried forward unchanged. For one-ton operators who depended on the 8' Long Bed for maximum payload and maximum hauling length, the 2013 update delivered a more refined cab on the same proven working foundation.

Designed and manufactured in the USA by Thunderstone Manufacturing, this premium hard aluminum truck bed cover delivers enhanced cargo security, all weather protection, rugged durability, and a sleek low profile appearance built for real world one-ton truck use.

Whether your truck is used for long material transport, maximum payload hauling, farm and ranch operations, commercial fleet work, gooseneck towing, or heavy-duty one-ton applications, Thunder Armor delivers dependable truck bed protection designed to match the capability of the 2013 RAM 3500 8' Long Bed.
