Extang Trifecta 2.0

Extang: Trifecta 2.0 Soft Tri-Fold Truck Bed Cover

Sexier, stronger, smarter: that’s how Extang describes its all-new, redesigned Trifecta 2.0 truck bed cover. While maintaining the cover’s easy-to-install and use characteristics, Extang has updated the design to be an even more intelligent pick than before.

First, the looks: the Trifecta 2.0 boasts softer curves and a sleeker design, with a heavy-duty, leather-grain fabric tarp that features an integrated corner tuck system for improved tension.

Second, the Trifecta 2.0 enjoys a redesigned frame, hinges, and corner to offer greater structural strength—the strongest in the industry, in fact, thanks to lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum. All-new MAX hinges have a double-pivoting design, while Extang’s exclusive snap-on seals eliminate adhesive and stay in place to provide unparalleled weather deflection.

Third are features that help you work smarter, not harder. A front Jaw Clamp tightens horizontally to help prevent over-tightening and bed flange damage, while the EZ Lock clamp automatically locks in place and requires less physical effort to operate.

Features

  • Low-profile, sleek design.
  • Heavy-duty, leather-grain tarp.
  • Integrated corner tuck system for enhanced tension.
  • Best-in-class frame with double-pivoting hinges and snap-on seals.

MSD Performance (6427): 6CT Circle Track Ignition Control

Coming soon from MSD Performance is the 6CT: the most advanced ignition control ever to hit a circle track. The 6427 is packed with features, including a large digital LED display that makes it easier than ever to see the rev limiter setting (adjustable via laser-etched rotary dials).

The 6CT offers all this and more in a fully potted, tamper-proof housing that uses a single connector to keep wiring tidy.

Features

  • Works with 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder engines.
  • Large, easy-to-read LED display.
  • Check rev limit, highest RPM, cylinder select, battery voltage, start retard, and tach mode.
