Expert Reply:
The Extang Trifecta Signature 2.0 # EX94590 has aluminum frames under the tarp, so rarely is any of the weight that is placed on the tonneau ever going to be fully supported by the tarp itself. The tarp on the Trifecta comes permanently attached to the frame for this added support. It's also worth noting that the cover is sewn into the perimeter frame and corners instead of using the hook-and-loop strips found on other tonneaus, which will help with it's strength and ability to withstand snow piling up on the cover.
When I spoke to the manufacturer, they mentioned that it is designed to withstand some snow, but could not give any type of weight limit before the tarp potentially stretched out like you've mentioned. Extang is based out of Michigan, so I know they've tested these out in the heavy lake effect snow. For added peace of mind, these Extang Trifecta Signature covers have a lifetime warranty to cover you in the event that the tarp is damaged by extreme weather conditions- like heavy snow.
