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.
  • Front Jaw Clamp prevents over-tightening and bed flange damage.
  • EZ Lock clamp is easier to operate than previous generations.

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).

Speaking of, the microprocessor-controlled rev limiting is so smooth, your chassis will virtually be undisturbed when charging into turns. The rotary dials let you select for 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder engines and achieve 0⁰, 10⁰, or 20⁰ timing retard for quick starts. Plus, the LED display can be used as a live tach or to display your car’s battery voltage. MSD also designed the unit to record the highest RPM your engine turned during the race. 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.
  • Start retard is adjustable in 0⁰, 10⁰, and 20⁰
  • Full delivery of spark energy down to 6V battery supply.
  • Efficient, low-current draw extends battery life.
  • Fully potted housing stands up to demanding race conditions.
  • Single plug-in connector for clean wiring.
  • Tamper-proof screws prevent unit modification.
  • Reverse polarity and overheat protection.
