The Polaris General splits the difference between a sport machine and a work UTV, and that short bed often carries everything from coolers to tools to hunting packs. The Highlands Polaris General Weatherproof Bed Cover by MotoAlliance turns the bed into a sealed, lockable box. If you're shopping for a Polaris General bed cover, this one is listed to fit all years and models of the General.
What the Highlands General cargo box is
Highlands designed this cover for serious off-road riders. It has a sleek profile but still keeps as much cargo room as possible, and it is made in the USA. The cover is watertight and dustproof, molded from impact-resistant, low-density polyethylene, and held on with an internal mounting system that has lockable latches. At 30 lbs, it is light enough to handle without much trouble.

Polaris General fitment and sizing
The listing says this cover fits all years and models of the Polaris General. The installed height is 19.5" from the bed to the lid, which is worth knowing if you plan to carry tall items or want to check clearance against a rack or rear window. For Ranger owners, Highlands makes separate covers for the Ranger 1000 and XP 1000 and the Ranger 570SP.
How General owners use a weatherproof bed cover
- Trail days: keep coolers, jackets and recovery straps clean and dry.
- Hunting: leave packs and gear locked up at the truck or camp.
- Around the property: keep hand tools, chainsaw gear and supplies out of the rain.
Installing the bed cover
Highlands covers use an internal mounting system, so the hardware sits inside the box rather than hanging off the outside. A few general tips:
- Start with a clean bed. Clear out mud, leaves and loose gear so the cover sits evenly.
- Follow the instructions. Installation instructions are linked on the Highlands General bed cover product page. Read through the steps before you start and check the fit before tightening anything down.
- Check the latches. Open and close the lid a few times and make sure the lockable latches line up and close cleanly.
- Re-check after a few rides. Rough trails shake things loose, so look over the mounting points after the first few trips.
Care tips: rinse mud and grit off the lid and latch area after a dirty ride so the latches keep working smoothly, and avoid stacking heavy loads on top of the closed lid. Inside the box, a few tie-downs or small bins keep tools from sliding around on rough trails. Every so often, empty the box and wipe it out so dirt does not build up in the corners.
Replacement mounting anchors are sold under SKU JC_Anchor_2 (Qty. 4), Style 2.
