Features & Benefits
Exclusive STANCE Vertical Access Design
One of the most unique features of the LOMAX STANCE is its ability to provide maximum truck bed accessibility without requiring complete cover removal.
Traditional tri-fold tonneau covers often limit access to a portion of the truck bed or require full removal when hauling oversized cargo. The STANCE solves this problem by folding into a secure vertical position behind the cab, allowing you to utilize nearly the entire truck bed whenever needed.
Benefits include:
- Near full-bed access
- Faster loading and unloading
- Reduced downtime on job sites
- Improved hauling flexibility
- Elimination of cover storage concerns
Whether you're transporting lumber, ladders, appliances, motorcycles, landscaping equipment, or recreational gear, the STANCE adapts to your needs.
Premium Urethane Carbon Fiber Finish
The Urethane Carbon Fiber finish provides one of the most sophisticated appearance options in the LOMAX lineup.
Inspired by the appearance of high-performance automotive carbon fiber, this finish offers a modern, premium look while maintaining the durability required for everyday truck use.
Key finish advantages include:
- Lightweight and resilient construction
- Non-corrosive materials
- Low heat transfer characteristics
- Scratch resistance
- Impact absorption
- UV protection
Unlike exposed carbon fiber materials that can be expensive and difficult to maintain, the urethane carbon fiber finish provides long-term durability while delivering a refined, performance-inspired appearance.
This finish is particularly appealing to truck owners who want their vehicle to stand out while maintaining practicality and durability.
RIGIDLINK Locking Technology
The exclusive RIGIDLINK system is what sets the STANCE apart from conventional hard folding covers.
When folded upright, the cover is securely held at approximately a 90-degree angle behind the cab while preventing contact with the truck's rear window.
Benefits include:
- Secure vertical positioning
- Rear window protection
- Enhanced safety
- Increased cargo accessibility
- Stable operation during use
This allows truck owners to maintain full functionality without needing to remove the cover entirely.
Important Note: When positioned vertically, the cover will obstruct the factory third brake light.
Reinforced Aluminum Construction
Beneath the premium carbon fiber finish is a rugged aluminum panel structure reinforced with extruded aluminum support channels.
This construction delivers:
- Supports up to 400 lbs. evenly distributed
- Excellent structural rigidity
- Long-term durability
- Lightweight operation
- Outstanding strength-to-weight ratio
The STANCE weighs approximately 50–60 lbs., making it manageable while providing commercial-grade strength.
This combination of durability and lightweight performance is ideal for both work trucks and recreational vehicles.
Automatic Dual Locking System
Security is critical when protecting valuable cargo.
The STANCE features an automatic dual-locking system that allows both locking points to release simultaneously from either side of the truck bed.
Heavy-duty reinforced nylon latches provide:
- Positive lock engagement
- Smooth operation
- Enhanced durability
- Reliable cargo security
This design allows fast access to your truck bed while maintaining confidence that your cargo remains protected.
Automatic Ten-Point Locking Security
As each panel unfolds, the cover automatically engages multiple locking points using reinforced nylon components.
Benefits include:
- Enhanced theft deterrence
- Uniform security throughout the cover
- Increased panel stability
- Automatic operation without complicated mechanisms
This simple yet effective design eliminates the need for keys or cumbersome locking procedures.
Advanced Weather-Tight Protection
Protecting valuable cargo from weather is one of the primary reasons truck owners invest in a premium tonneau cover.
The STANCE utilizes:
- Waterproof hinges
- Continuous side rail seals
- Flexible weather-resistant rubber seals
- Water-shedding panel design
- Bed rail overlap protection
Together, these features help direct water away from the truck bed while minimizing intrusion from rain, snow, dust, and road debris.
This makes the STANCE an excellent vehicle storage solution for:
- Tools
- Electronics
- Luggage
- Hunting gear
- Camping equipment
- Emergency supplies
Molded Storage Brackets & Retention System
When folded open, the STANCE utilizes molded storage brackets and retractable retention bungees to secure the panels.
Features include:
- Secure folded-panel retention
- Improved stability
- Reduced vibration
- No adjustment requirements
Rubber-padded standoffs maintain proper panel spacing and help prevent unnecessary wear.
TIGHT BITE Clamp Technology
Installation is simplified through LOMAX's proven TIGHT BITE clamp system.
Specially designed clamp teeth provide:
- Exceptional holding strength
- Secure attachment
- No-drill installation
- Long-term reliability
This system protects factory bed rails while providing commercial-grade mounting security.
Quiet Ride Engineering
Many tonneau covers introduce rattles or vibration over time. The STANCE incorporates several features to combat unwanted noise.
These include:
- Powder-coated steel pivot links
- Rubber isolation bushings
- Flexible weather seals
- Precision-fit side rails
- Reduced metal-on-metal contact
The result is a quieter, more refined driving experience.
