Opening and closing this cover is as simple as pressing a button. The electric motor connects directly to your vehicle’s battery and moves the cover in under 30 seconds using the included key fob. The electro-magnetic brake stops and locks the panels at any point along the rails, so you can cover part of the bed or roll it all the way up. A manual release lever on the canister even lets you operate it by hand if power is lost.
Rain, dust, and snow stay out thanks to interlocking aluminum panels joined by silicon weather hinges. A barrier seal at the tailgate and a weather-management system with drain tubes funnel water through the truck’s OE bed drain holes. The black powder-coated finish resists corrosion, so the panels keep their strength and clean look through years of use.
When the cover retracts, it rolls neatly into a compact angled canister at the front of the bed. The canister keeps the stored cover protected from the elements while leaving rear-window visibility wide open. The angled shape gives you maximum usable cargo space, so you don’t have to remove the system to haul large items or work gear.
The low-profile rails mount inside your bed rails for a flush look that follows the truck’s lines. This design reduces wind drag and helps airflow over the bed for better efficiency when closed. Even with its sleek fit, there’s room above most fifth-wheel hitches for towing setups that need that clearance.
The canister attaches to aluminum side rails that clamp inside your truck bed—no drilling required. Each rail uses pivot-arm clamps with built-in kickstands to keep everything level while tightening. Once installed, you just connect the wiring harness to your battery, attach the drain tubes, and you’re ready to go with secure, electric retractable protection for your cargo.

Ryan: Hey, everybody. My name's Ryan, and here at etrailer, we install, test fit, and review a lot of different parts. That way we could try to answer any questions those of you might have. And that's exactly what we're doing here today. We're going to be taking a look at the Pace Edwards Bedlocker retractable tonneau cover.The Bedlocker tonneau covers are custom fit for your truck, so you want to use our fit guide to ensure you're getting the right fit for you. Using a tonneau cover is a great way to not only keep the weather out of the bed of your truck, but it's also going to keep anything inside protected.
I know a lot of guys have tools and material back here that they want to keep protected and secure. Since this is an aluminum type cover, it's really secure. You're going to have a really hard time getting in through this cover. So used in conjunction with the locking tailgate, you're not going to have anything to worry about. All your stuff inside the bed is going to be locked up nice and tight.
So that way when you get off work, you're not going to have to sweat trying to grab your tools or anything else out, bring it in the house and deal with all that. So you can kind of rest peacefully there.Another big thing is how the tonneau cover is going to look and actually function. Honestly, this one is top-notch in my opinion. It is more or less a flush mount design, so you're not going to see it sticking up over the side of your bed and drawing a whole lot of attention to it. And even better is whenever you're driving, you're not going to have anything blocking or obstructing your view as you're going down the road.So with everything all closed up, we know it looks great and everything, but honestly, I think the coolest thing about the setup is the fact that it is electric.
So whenever you're ready to open it up or close it back up, all you're going to have to do is push a button. I don't know if you've messed with other tonneau covers before. Some of them can kind of be a pain where you're dealing with the straps and hooks and everything else trying to open and close it. It's not really all that much fun.This one's super easy. It gives us two remotes.
So it's actually wireless. So you can throw one on your key ring and whenever you're ready to open it up, you simply just push open. So you push a button once, it'll open, and what's neat is it actually has a brake. So let's say, for example, you only wanted to open it halfway, to maybe put whatever it is you might be putting in back there. You'd simply hit the button again and it will stop it. So, pretty cool little feature there. I bet it would come in handy if I had to guess. If you need full bed access, not a big deal either. You just continue to open it. It will stop on its own whenever you're opening it and closing it, so you don't have to worry about anything like that. And as you can see, even with it fully open, we pretty much have complete bed access. We're going to lose a little bit of space up front there, but in my opinion, the trade-off is well worth it.Now, something I was kind of curious about myself, and I'm sure some of you are as well, is how fast the tonneau cover's going to open and close. Does it take forever So I figured we'd do an experiment and time it. So I'll go ahead and hit close and start. And it's a lot faster than I would think it would be. Honestly, it's a lot quieter too. You don't hear this making a ton of noise, which is always nice. If you can keep things a little quiet, perfect. So it looks like we're getting pretty close, so right there, stop. So just about 20 seconds, roughly. To completely close it, that's pretty good. It's probably going to take you more time than that to do one manually. So compared to that, I'd say you have a little bit of advantage here at least a time savings.Just to give you an idea on how flush this actually is, we've got a pretty good view of it right here, and it pretty much just shoots straight across. As far as the rails here on top of your actual bed rails, I mean, it comes up just a hair. If I had to guess maybe about an eighth of an inch. You can just about get your fingernail underneath there and that's it. So about as tight as you can get it and as clean as you can, in my opinion.For those of you that are wondering how much space up here we're going to lose exactly, figured I'd just take a quick measurement so we can figure that out. If we just go from the front of the cover there back to the seal, it's going to be right at about 14 inches. So honestly, not really a huge deal. Still have plenty of bed space to work with.But keep in mind the canister isn't going to come all the way down to the very bottom of the bed, like a toolbox or something would, for example. We're still going to have a decent amount of space here. So maybe if you had some lumber or something like that, you could still slide it underneath there without any issues.I have seen a lot of different types of tonneau covers, and to be honest, this one is probably the best fitting. What I mean by that is how tight and sealed everything is. But if there's a will, there is a way, and to be honest, over time, water moisture could potentially seep through those seals and accumulate in your canister. And if that does end up happening, not really a huge deal. There's a drain on each side that'll allow that to run down and out underneath the truck. That way nothing's puddling up in there. You're not going to have to worry about anything rusting out. So inside, you can be confident that it's going to be nice and dry and stay in good working order. And that's really important, considering too that there's an electrical motor in there that needs to stay dry to function for years to come.So at the end of the day, this tonneau cover really does check all the boxes for me, at least in my opinion. The ease of use and how well it works is top-notch. The appearance of it, whether you have it open or closed, it looks awesome. No one's really going to be able to notice it. It almost looks factory, honestly. And even just down to the fit and finish, this fits really well, and that's not something you really see with a lot of different tonneau covers. A lot of them kind of fight you a little bit and just aren't exactly the way you want. I did not have that issue at all with this cover. Even just down to the little things, all the hardware it comes with, the clamps, everything is top notch, and it's a tonneau cover you won't be disappointed in.
