Folding tonneau cover designs provide protection and security while preserving your vehicle's original bed size and height. They are a popular option with Tundra owners.
Well-maintained 2022 Toyota Tundra folding tonneau covers typically last as long as your vehicle, barring an accident that winds up damaging them. There are exceptions, as there are with any accessory or replacement part, but they are built to take the elements at all times of year.
Toyota folding tonneau covers tend to be a little more expensive than some other models like snap-on and roll-up covers. They are comparable to many hard-top hinge designs, which is to say that you can expect to spend at least $500 once you add in any accessories or hardware you need and consider the taxes and shipping costs. High end covers can easily cost double that, if not more. This is still less than most camper shell designs, making a folding tonneau cover a mid-priced option for many people.
Most of the time, damage to your tonneau cover would be incredibly obvious, because it's likely to be visible on the folding cover body. In some cases, though, the hardware for the folding hinge mechanisms can fail, making it difficult or even impossible to fold some sections up. Often this requires replacing the tonneau cover.

This type of truck bed cover is distinguished by the fact that it caps the bed without adding additional height, which sets it apart from truck bed shells. Tonneau covers come in several design styles that are mostly named after the mechanism for opening and closing the cover.
