Give your F-150 the Mustang look with this bed cover

ABU DHABI: Bed covers have always been a unique proposition for pickup truck owners. Although they limit cargo space, their benefit can be seen in the form of security. The design of these bed covers is nothing to write home about. However, one company called Michigan Vehicle Solutions (MVS) plans to change that.

MVS has released a fastback-style bed cover which goes by the name ‘Aero-X’. As the name suggests, the design is outlandish and futuristic. The company aims to provide added security for your cargo in style, without hindering the rear view for the driver. Construction of this bed cover has been done using lightweight fibreglass. Quality is top notch, and the paint matches OEM levels giving it a consistent look. Louvres haven been integrated into the cover to provide protection from the sun. An added bonus is the integrated 3rd brake light and the vented, tinted/tempered side glass. Gas struts have been used to aid opening/closing the hatch. There is a whole slew of interior additions to the Aero-X, combining form with function. You get an LED dome light, key operated lock, bed clamps, fully finished headliner, and integrated speakers for those tailgate parties.

With all these features, the Aero-X offers a stylish bed cover which is functional and stylish. It does have its downsides though. The design may not appeal to the masses, and you do lose a significant amount of cargo space. MVS does claim that the design makes the pickup truck more aerodynamic, but that is hardly a consideration for most buyers in this segment. Initially, the Aero-X will be launched for the current generation F-150. Later it will be launched for other Ford models and pickups from Toyota, Ram, Nissan, and Chevrolet.
