As part of th<\/em>e 15th Anniversary celebration, The Burnout is sitting down with some of our partners who have contributed to the 2014 RacingJunk.com\/AED Performance Chevrolet Silverado<\/a> giveaway to find out more about the company itself, and the product currently rocking the truck. \u00a0This time it’s with Bryan Baker of\u00a0A.R.E.<\/a>\u00a0to talk about the tonneau cover they contributed, and the other great products they offer.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Burnout:<\/strong> \u00a0 Can you give me a little background on\u00a0A.R.E?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bryan Baker:\u00a0<\/strong> A.R.E. was founded by Sal Gatti, Jonas Yoder, and Aden Miller in 1969, and originally manufactured aluminum truck caps and storage buildings.\u00a0 Over time the company grew with the mission of quality, service, and innovation.\u00a0 Staying up with new technologies led to A.R.E. becoming a nationwide leading manufacturer of fiberglass truck caps and fiberglass tonneau covers.\u00a0 In 1982, A.R.E. produced its first fiberglass truck cap.\u00a0 In 1990, A.R.E. began custom painting their caps and covers to match the trucks with an automotive quality basecoat\/clearcoat process.\u00a0 Since then A.R.E. has continued to grow, and focus on designing the most stylish and functional truck caps and covers on the market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Burnout:<\/strong>\u00a0Tell me about the tonneau cover on the Silverado. Why this cover? What\u00a0are\u00a0some other options and what\u00a0are\u00a0the benefits of each?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bryan Baker:<\/strong>\u00a0The A.R.E. LSII Series fiberglass tonneau cover is an industry leader.\u00a0 It has won numerous awards both from the industry, and from consumers naming it the best tonneau cover on the market today.\u00a0 The quality of the design, components, and manufacturing process really help this product to shine.\u00a0 The LSII Series offers truck specific styling, premium components, and a unique lift assist system for user friendly opening and closing. Also available for the LSII Series is the popular e-lock option, which allows you to lock and unlock the cover using your truck\u2019s existing power locking system.\u00a0 This industry leading tonneau cover is a best seller, and for good reason.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Burnout:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 What’s the benefit of a tonneau cover? Can you tell me anything about installation or longevity for these covers?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bryan Baker:<\/strong>\u00a0 The primary benefit of a fiberglass cover to most users is that it keeps your gear or equipment safe, secure, and dry.\u00a0 Another benefit to fiberglass tonneaus cover users is the gas mileage savings that can be obtained.\u00a0 According a study conducted by Western New England College’s Department of Mechanical Engineers, “The best way to reduce drag, and improve gas mileage for pickup trucks, is to add a tonneau cover.” Their study yielded gas mileage savings of 8% by adding a tonneau cover to a truck.\u00a0 As a final benefit, The LSII Series looks great with its custom, painted to match styling, and enhances the appearance of the vehicle it is placed on.<\/p>\n

b.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Installation of the LSII Series is easy, mounting to the pickup truck using four integrated clamps.\u00a0 An A.R.E. retailer can typically install an LSII Series in 15 to 30 minutes.\u00a0 Once the unit is installed, it can be removed and reinstalled by the truck owner in less than 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

c.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0As far as longevity, the LSII Series features a limited lifetime warranty on both paint and structure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Burnout:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 What other products would you recommend for our audience – either for their performance vehicles, their haulers, trucks, daily drivers, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bryan Baker:<\/strong>\u00a0 Depending on your lifestyle needs, we offer various products.\u00a0 Our \u00a0fiberglass truck caps can provide more storage than our fiberglass covers, and they can also provide aerodynamic advantages for those hauling their race vehicle in a trailer.\u00a0 For those working out of their trucks, we offer many work truck solutions, including our popular DCU Series commercial aluminum truck cap the features toolboxes, full rear doors, and ladder rack options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
