Abstract: A folding tonneau cover or lid is configured for selectively enclosing at least a portion of an open topped bed of a pick up or SUV type motor vehicle. The tonneau cover includes one or a plurality of flexibly linked panels extending between cooperating side walls of the open topped bed, and is manually operable for displacement between a deployed position wherein the open topped bed is fully covered and a retracted position wherein the open topped bed is partially or fully exposed. At least one panel forms a generally planer first surface facing downwardly when in the deployed position and upwardly when in the retracted position, and a second surface facing upwardly when in the deployed position and downwardly when in the retracted position. A cup holder is integrated with one of the panel surfaces and forms a beverage container receiving cavity opening away from the panel surfaces.
