Features to know about

Secure Cargo Through Any Weather: ArmorTek Aluminum and Vinyl Deck

This cover combines rigid aluminum panels with a bonded vinyl top layer to create a strong, weather-tight surface that still looks sleek. The layered ArmorTek design keeps gear protected from rain, dust, and snow while holding up to years of use without fading or sagging. The matte black finish sits about an inch above the bed rails for a clean, low-profile look that blends with the truck’s lines. Users mention that even after heavy storms, the bed stays dry and the cover still operates smoothly.

Haul Big Loads Without Losing Access: Retractable Design with 12" Stop Points

When you have to haul tall equipment or long boards, you can retract this cover fully or stop it every 12 inches along the rails. The spring-loaded system opens easily with one hand using a small handle under the rear plate, and a pull strap lets you close it again just as quickly. Because it rolls into a compact canister at the cab, it doesn’t block the rear window or take up usable bed space. Owners like how simple it is to operate and how it clicks securely in place whether partially or fully closed.

Add Racks and Gear Without Removing the Cover: Built-In T-Slot Rails

The integrated T-slot rails set this model apart. You can mount a roof rack, ladder rack, or bike rack directly on top without drilling into your truck. The T-slots run the full length of both side rails so accessories can be positioned exactly where you need them. This setup is perfect if you want to carry kayaks or ladders above while keeping the bed covered and secure underneath.

Keep Cargo Dry and Protected: Multi-Seal Water Management System

A network of exterior and interior seals plus front and rear drain tubes helps push water away from the bed. The angled canister channels runoff to attached tubes that route water through factory drain holes—keeping moisture from pooling inside. Rubber rail seals contour tightly to the bed caps, while endcaps overlap the tailgate to block dust and debris. Even through car washes or heavy rain, cargo stays clean and dry thanks to this layered sealing system.

Quick Setup and Lasting Fit: Clamp-On Installation

You don’t need to drill into anything to mount this cover. It clamps inside the bed rails with two clamps per side and includes kickstands on the rear clamps to level everything out before tightening. Once aligned, it sits flush for a tight seal and smooth operation. Many owners say they were able to install it on their own in about an hour using basic tools while getting a solid, professional fit right away.

Retractable tonneau cover with T-slot rails lets you add a light-duty ladder rack or roof rack to your vehicle. Aluminum and vinyl construction has strength of a hard cover and seamless look of a soft cover. Enhanced cargo protection keeps bed dry.

by:

This cover was easily installed. So far, it functions perfectly. Glides easily to open and close. I love the fact that is closed partially every 12 inches. Should help to keep things a little drier when towing my fifth wheel.



by:

It's a well built tonneau cover. It was very difficult to install, but I got it done. It operates good and looks good. The only drawback, is it leaks water bad. In the spring, I'll silicone around the front two drain lines at the roller box, and on the top rear roller box cover plate. Hope it helps.



by:

Received the Pace Edwards UltraGroove Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover in a box that was destroyed! The contents made it okay, except I did not receive the truck bed stake hole covers. I'm sure etrailer will make good on it as they have great customer service! However this review is for the cover and although the cover seems okay....the instructions totally suck! For $[XXXX] dollars, I expect more!



by:

This is my second Pace Edwards UltraGroove, I really love it. I traded in my last truck and this topper was on it and still ran smooth after three years of opening and closing it thousands of times!



by:

Really makes the truck look great! Easy to install when using the video.



by:

All contents came undamaged and I am waiting for a nice day to install it on the truck



by:

Pace Edwards ultra groove is an awesome hard roll up tonneau cover. Beats other competitors pricing. Installation was a little more involved for one person and instructions were hard to follow, but all good things take time. Very pleased with the install, definitely buy it again



by:

Arrived quickly, fit and works as expec ted.



by:

The cover is awesome. Installation took a little longer than expected. The removal of the tie downs in a new truck with lineX was challenging. The brackets that replace the tie downs weren't useful. They are supposed to support the box for the cover within a slight gap which could be filled with included shims. Installed as shown in the directions, the brackets left a 2" gap which I had to make. By the time you get that far in the install, you're too committed to try and figure out if the instructions were bad, what other way the brackets might work as expected etc. It was superficial at that point and I created my own shims from pressure treated wood. Love the cover though. It operates very smoothly and looks great on the truck.



by:

easy to install and a great product for the money



by:

I am very happy with this cover now that I have it installed. The cover is great, the directions not so much. Thankfully Brittany from etrailer sent links to some videos which helped tremendously with the installation. I did have difficulty with one side locking when fully closed and could not find any trouble shooting information in the directions or videos but did find a set screw that allowed me to adjust the stop and everything works quite well now. I love that the cover retracts smoothly and latches securely while still allowing for a ladder rack. Nice fit and finish.



by:

The cover is excellent, but the installation instructions are pretty vague, and leave a lot out. Watch the eTrailer videos, they're much more helpful.

Installation Tip - After you prop up the canister on something at the front of the bed, take the box that the rails came in and lay it perpendicular across the bed between the tailgate and wheel wells. That way you can lay the rails on it when installing them to the bed, lest everything comes crashing down once you get the first rail on and then try to get the second one on! Ask me how I know! :)



by:

Ordered and it was at my home in 3 days and installed in 1/2 day by myself I took my time following instructions no drilling no marring just a fine tight tonneau cover that looks great on my new lariat dually



by:

Quality product that fits my requirements. However, I would ask for clearer installation instructions.



by:

Quick delivery, solid construction, easy assembly, beautiful result. Delivered in two boxes, rails in one, rollup cover in another. Well protected in the boxes. Parts included replacements for truck bed popouts with drain holes pre-cut. Quality parts throughout. Instructions were a little hard to follow but it is just a straightforward mounting process. Easy to do in two to three hours.



by:

I was a little nervous about calling because I know there was going to be some looking up stuff on the computer and I’m not that good at it, but Eli was very patient with me and made my transaction a lot easier and made me feel a lot better and confident that we bought the right one tonneau cover.



by:

This is my second truck with this cover only difference is the second truck has an 8 foot bed. I LOVE THIS COVER!! I like the low profile and the way it clicks in every 12 inches which allows me to close it somewhat with no issues. We have a 5th wheel and can cover the bed a little and keep things more dry. Installation is very easy just need patience and time. Cover was delivered on the worst weather day, very rainy. Cover was packaged very well and contents were in great shape when I arrived home. Great job etrailer and love when you have problems someone is there to answer the call and very friendly and helpful.

I really like this cover after owning it for a year. Adam was a big help when I bought it and works very well and has ultra low profile which I like. I like the way it can snap into place and not only full open or close. Installation was pretty easy. We own a fifth wheel and this cover works excellent for our needs.

This product is great, I love this tonneau cover and has work flawlessly. When Im towing I can pull it closed 1 click to help with the wind and it has been great. I appreciate Etrailer with helping with this purchase and we are looking to upgrade our truck and when we purchase our new one I want to purchase this same cover again. It does take away alittle from the bed but the 5th wheel hitch in summer pretty much makes my bed useless anyway.



by:

Really like this Edwards Ultra Grove Tonneau cover. Does everything I wanted it to do. Keeps my cargo dry, fairly secure, it wouldn’t be easy to break into. I installed it by myself self in about an hour. etrailer Installation video made install easy.



by:

Took my time installing it. For the most part no problems. I see some concerns around the tailgate. (Sealing) I like the ease of retracting and opening it. With tailgate locked, its very easy to open with a flat putty knife. Overall I Like the appearance and the way its constructed. Only had it a few days so time will tell.

I enjoy it very much. I added extra foam to seal around tail gate. After a good rain or thru the car wash, it still doesnt leak. I highly recommend this product.

  • Will Leer Hard Folding Tonneau Cover for a 2025 Ram 3500 Fit with a 5th Wheel Towing Setup?
    Hey LaMarr, thanks for reaching out! Each panel is about 1" thick for the Leer Hard Tonneau Cover # LE59FR that fits your 2025 Ram 3500. When they are all stacked together you're looking at about 4-1/2" of height overall, and there is a 51" gap from the rearmost part of the folded up cover to the tailgate - this should be more than enough room for you to be able to tow a 5th wheel trailer, but you can also check this on your end just to be sure. There are a handful of quad-fold tonneau...

The correct fit for your truck is the following: - BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover # BAK64ZR The Revolver X4s # BAK64ZR is a hybrid cover which means it is a hard cover with aluminum slats, but also rolls up so you get the convenience of being able...

The first two are part # 311-KRD7833 (aluminum and vinyl) and # 311-KMD7833 (aluminum).

  • Does the JackRabbit Tonneau Cover Require a Key to Open Every Time?
    I confirmed with my contact at Pace Edwards that the JackRabbit Tonneau Cover # 311-JRD7833 can be opened without a key as long as the lock is in the "unlocked" position. You will not need the key in order to open the cover every single time when installed on your 2021 Ram 3500 (6-1/2 foot bed without RamBox). As far as the profile of the Pace Edwards Ultragroove # 311-KRD7833, you are correct that it sits a bit higher than the JackRabbit. The Ultragroove sits about 1/2 an inch taller...

  • Tonneau Cover Recommendation for 2022 Ram 2500 Short Bed that will Tow 5th Wheel Trailer
    The best tonneau cover for a truck like your 2022 Ram 2500 that will be towing a fifth wheel trailer will be a retractable one. This is because it doesn't add store the cover above the bed rail when it's opened which would potentially cause clearance issues between it and the trailer over hang and it won't obstruct vision if you were to look out the back window when towing. So for a retractable tonneau that fits your truck I would recommend the Pace Edwards UltraGroove Retractable Hard...

  • Can Pace Edwards SwitchBlade Hard Tonneau Cover # 311-SWC95A17 be Partially Open
    The Pace Edwards SwitchBlade Hard Tonneau Cover # 311-SWC95A17 has a spring loaded spool which will pull the tonneau all the way open unless it's closed. Instead you'd want the UltraGroove part # 311-KRD7833 which can lock into any open position.

  • Tonneau Cover Recommendation for 2017 Ram 2500 Short Bed Towing Fifth Wheel Trailer
    The clearance you want between the trailer overhang and the truck bed rails should be at least 6 inches. You'd have to measure you current clearance there to determine how well the TruXedo Pro X15 Soft Tonneau Cover # TX1446901 would fit. Where you'd most likely see an issue is when you are in a tight turn with the rolled up cover near the front of the bed. Since this is a short bed application I can see this not being the best possible solution. Instead I'd recommend a retractable cover...

  • Tonneau Cover to Fit 2014 Ram 1500 6.5 ft Bed with Thule TracRac Sliding Rack
    The only tonneau cover we can recommend for use with a TracRac sliding ladder rack is the BAK Revolver cover as it's the only one that's narrow enough to fit with the ladder rack. The Pace Edwards you mentioned would not work with a ladder rack. So what you'd need is the Revolver tonneau part # BAK64ZR and the TracRac # TH43003XT-501 and you'd have a ladder rack and tonneau cover combo that would fit and work well on your 2014 Ram 1500 6-1/2 foot bed.
