Abstract
A tonneau cover can be foldable between an extended configuration and a folded configuration. In the extended configuration, the primary panel plane of each of the plurality panels can all be substantially coplanar with each other and with a first plane. In the folded configuration, the plurality of panels can all be substantially aligned to form a stack of the plurality of panels, wherein the stack is disposed above the cargo box. The forward panel can be pivotable between a raised configuration corresponding to the folded configuration and a storage configuration. In the storage configuration, the primary plane of the forward panel can be in a second plane that is substantially orthogonal to the first plane to dispose the stack within the cargo box.
