Retractable tonneau for your vehicle has aluminum slats and a vinyl top layer that combine the strength and security of a hard cover and seamless look of a soft cover. It locks at any point along the rails, and it retracts easily with a handle.

Specs:
The JackRabbit retractable hard tonneau cover protects your cargo and truck bed from the elements. Its durable ArmorTek construction consists of a vinyl fabric top sheet that is bonded to rigid aluminum panels, combining the seamless appearance of a soft tonneau with the security features of a hard tonneau. The stylish cover locks at any point along the rails, and it retracts easily with the turn of a handle.
The original JackRabbit retracts with the turn of a handle. The handle - located on the key latch at the tailgate end of the cover - activates a heavy-duty tension spring. This spring automatically retracts the cover into the canister at the bulkhead of your truck bed. A built-in pull strap helps you extend the cover over your bed. As you pull, the tonneau will engage the side rails at 12" intervals. You can stop the cover at these designated intervals or you can use the key latch to lock the cover at any point along the side rails.
This feature enables you to carry tall or long items that overlap your tailgate while still covering cargo, such as a toolbox, stored closer to the bulkhead of the truck.
A hook-and-loop fastener strip is included to secure the pull strap up and off of your bed floor. You can also use the rear plate of the tonneau cover to pull it closed.
The cover retracts into a compact, angled canister located at the front of your truck bed. This canister protects the retracted cover from the elements, and with the cover stored in the canister you'll have unrestricted visibility out of your rear window. The angled design of the canister also allows for maximum clearance for your tools and cargo so there is no need to remove the cover to haul cargo.
The JackRabbit rails feature a water management system that channels excess water into the canister. This prevents water from getting into your bed or freezing in your tonneau cover rails during cold temperatures. Drain tubes attached to the bottom of the canister remove water through the OE drain holes in the floor of your truck bed.
The black powder-coated side rails mount level with your truck bed rails for a flush appearance. This flush-mount design is aerodynamic to reduce wind drag, and it helps to improve gas mileage when the cover is closed.
Even with the flush-mount design, the cover fits over most fifth-wheel trailer hitches. Note: The highest point of the fifth-wheel hitch must be at least 2" below the bed rails.
The JackRabbit deck is constructed of a vinyl top layer bonded to heavy-duty aluminum slats. This ArmorTek deck looks like a soft tonneau cover with no visible seams, but has the strength and security of a hard tonneau cover. Furthermore, the side rails and canister have a matte black finish that resemble bed caps to give your tonneau cover a more OE appearance. A large seal at the rear of the bed closes the gap between the cover and tailgate to create a barrier to prevent water from entering the truck bed.
The Jackrabbit provides excellent protection for your cargo when used in conjunction with a closed and locked tailgate. The heavy-gauge aluminum panels are better at preventing theft when compared with soft covers that can be cut or punctured with a knife. The panels are also more effective at preventing theft than tri-fold hard tonneau covers because the panels cannot be pried open at any point along the rails.
To install the cover, set the canister in your truck bed and support it with a box or other sturdy object. Slide the cover side rails into the canister until they are fully seated in the rail grips while also threading the cover into the channels in the rails. Secure the rails to the canister with bolts and washers.
Secure the rails to your truck bed side rails using 2 clamps per side. Slide the clamp onto the rail, flip the pivot arm up so it is under the bed rail lip, and tighten the clamp in place. Shims are included for trucks with tapered beds.
Mount the top cover plate to the canister with the included hardware. Attach the drain tubes to the canister and route each tube out of the OEM drain holes in the floor of your bed.
To hold the pull strap off the floor of your truck bed, apply the adhesive hook-and-loop fastener strip onto the underside of a rail at your desired location.

Ratings & Reviews
On a 2009 GMC Sierra 3500 HD it was a straight forward installation. 2 people a few hours. The old cover was shot. I'm very pleased with this cover, as it opens/closes and latches easily.
Cover works as advertised and it’s a great option for a long bed truck with a fifth wheel hitch. Going to order a second cover for my wife’s truck.
The included instructions are lame so make sure you watch the etrailer install videos. They are so
Much better and answer most of the questions.
Great service from etrailer! Was backordered, they kept me updated well. When it came in, I was headed out of town so ONE call placed it on hold until I returned. It was queued up to ship when I returned, and that is exactly what happened. I missed the notes in reviews about the video, so I went with the paper. Did a little figuring-out and got it installed, but one side would not roll out. Cant see the mechanics of it in the cannister, so I called Pace-Edwards. They connected me with an engineer who correctly diagnosed the problem, sent the needed part, told me the procedure to effect the corrections, and it is now the best top I've had (and there have been many...). So, the shims that are on the clamps are on the clamps already installed on the rail, not the ones you install. And you need to be sure both sides of the mat are in front of the guide before you install the rails. If you read this review, the take-away is watch the video, heed the advice, and yes, the new tow-beast DOES fit in the garage. If only just...
product arrrived when it was suspossed too. Works good. Had to partially redo the install has one side was stuck. got it to work fine.
I just love the Tonneau cover! It was easy to install and keeps everything dry and clean. My son and grandson are jealous and want one for their pickups.
The directions seem attempted but, not updated or clear at all. The screws and bold threads were cheap, strip out easy. It looks sharp but, if a tight seal is needed, this is not it at all. It is for “locking/hiding items, monsoon or snow main protection but, stuff is going to get wet 100%. For a product of the caliber and cost, these types of things create doubt in a product and longevity.
The bed cover is great. The instructions not to much. They were quite confusing. And the Allen key and socket/wrench sizes in the tools required section were not the correct sizing.
I did the whole install in around 2.5 hours all by myself. It’s doable, but would be much much easier with a second person.
I like the look and fit, getting the rails to slide in to the canister was a little challenging - but over all it works well. I will say the clamps have grooves in them to slide in for locking - I had a really hard time getting those to slide into place.
I like it much better than my old Flip Pac. It seems about as sturdy as the Flip Pac as well, I anticipated it would be more rigid, but that was only my perception so I did not knock a star off. Very easy to use. The instructions need an update, it looks as though they are now doing a step during assembly. Would have been much easier to install with a second person, like stated in the instructions, but I did manage by myself. Realy like the look and fitment, haven't tested the water tightness yet.
I was really disappointed in this cover. I've had retractable ones on other trucks and this one is cheaper than ones I've had in the past. It has a plastic drum where as better ones are made of stainless steel. The locking mechanize is really difficult to turn and I have already had problems with it. The installation directions are useless.
I would not recommend this cover. If it wasn't so heavy I would have returned it.
Just installed but so far,I love it. Had difficulty installing the side rails while it was sitting on the box in the bed. Tried 3 times and couldn't get it. Took everything out of the bed, placed it on the ground, rotated 90 degrees. This way the rails were installed vertically. Fell into place. Obviously, this way took an additional person, but it worked.
Not as easily done by yourself but doable though. Took me about a hour. Looks great. Had questions about the bedcovers on top edge, to leave or remove. See pics. For some reason it was a little snug at backend of truck bed.
Great product! Easy install.
this is the second one I have owned and after 20 years on the first on it is still going strong.
This fit perfectly on my truck. I installed it by myself in about 3 hours.I called pace edwards to order 2 new drain tubes because I broke the fiitings trying to fish the tubes through the bed.I explained it was due to the cold weather in northern new hampshire and that it was not defective, but they are shipping me a new set free of charge anyway. great customer service from E trailer and Pace Edwards.
Works Great!
Love the cover, install went smoother when an additional set of hands got involved. Two people made it super simple.
The cover arrived in great condition and shipping was extremely fast. The install went well. The hardest part is getting the side rails to interface with the roller unit, but not unreasonable once you understand how it works. It took me about 1.5 hours from unbox to completion. For future installers. The pull strap releases the latch mechanism as designed. I thought mine was broken until I discovered that. (otherwise, the latch knob won't rotate 90deg as stated in the manual)
Great product!! Installation was pretty easy. Attaching the side rails were a little tricky at first, but once you figure out how they attach, pretty easy from there. Looks good on my Chevy 2500 HD! Highly recommend it!
This is the second Pace Edwards Tonneau cover I’ve owned. My first was on my 2021 Ram and the second went on my 2024 Chevrolet 3500 High Country. Both cover have worked flawlessly and I have no regrets purchasing these two covers.

Great, this is my second Tonneau cover from etrailer. The first cover was sold on a 2021 Ram and my Second tonneau cover is on a 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 that currently up for sale. Both covers worked flawlessly.
