    we had hail the night before last and thankfully it was not bad enough to cause any damage to my Taco, which has long been banished to the driveway as my wife's Subaru and our Goldwing and trailer share the garage.

    Any ideas for how to provide some protection for your truck when you know hail is forecast and moving the truck is not likely?

    I have thought about a rug or blanket but hail is usually accompanied by high winds and they wouldn't stay on.

    What do you do?

    (Sorry not sure how I started this under Colorado, but maybe just as good as anywhere)

    Interesting, I don't see in the product description that it is inflatable though the title says that. For under $40 I would think you have a chance of getting 100, especially since it comes in cammo

    It isn't intended to be inflatable. The cover is padded like an oven mitt.

    It will not get the views unless under the 2nd/3rd gen sections.
