Max Truck Cover Rave Reviews

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Recent review from one of our recent customers:

“I had one of those other custom covers. You know the ones, custom cab and bed fit with the Dumbo ears. Well it got damaged and I needed a new cover. My truck is “my precious pride and joy” and I was unsure about purchasing a “less expensive” cover.

I live in HOT south Florida with lots of thunderstorms.
I just took the cover off today, after two weeks, expecting that I needed to wash the truck. The black interior was cool and the truck was perfectly clean on the outside!
Not a spot!

In the mornings lots of water is on the cover.
This is either from the nights rain or morning dew. I believe the shape (angled down from cab to tailgate) helps keeps water from sitting on the cover and the cover from laying on the truck. I have a black tonneau cover that’s always a huge pain to keep really clean and spot free.
Not a spot!

On the downside: I can not get the cover to fit back in the bag it came in. (Sigh) I must admit, “It HAD to fit back in the bag”, was not a needed requirement.

This cover has exceeded my expectations.
I HIGHLY recommend the Empire MAX cover!!!”

Reducing Stress while driving

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Are looking forward to car rides to the beach for a weekend get away this spring?

What happens when you hit traffic? Do you pull of on the side of the road throw that trusty car cover, truck cover or suv cover on and wait it out? Or face traffic right along with the stress it brings?

 

If you plan on continuing on, here are a few tops to Reduce stress while driving!

First, know your destination! If you do not have a navigation system make sure to map out your route and have directions on hand. Next, try to allow yourself extra time. The thought of being late or in a hurry may raise your blood pressure. If traveling with children bring snacks just in case the traffic cuts into dinner time. If your children are occupied with food or other activities you will be better focused. Also you never know when you’ll need a snack as well!
