Features to know about

Secure Cargo in Any Weather: Sealed Aluminum Construction

Keeping tools, groceries, or camping gear safe from the elements is easy with the UltraGroove’s aluminum panels and reinforced weather seals. The 3/4" wide exterior seals and interior rail seals work together with drain tubes at both ends to channel water out of the bed, so your gear stays dry even through rain or car washes. The matte black powder coat finish resists corrosion and sun damage, so it keeps looking sharp year after year.

Effortless Access: Power-Retractable Cover with Remote

Opening and closing the cover takes seconds thanks to the electric motor wired directly to your truck’s battery. Just press a button on the included key fob and the cover retracts smoothly into the 12" x 10-1/4" canister. The electro-magnetic brake lets you stop it anywhere along the rails to match your load size. There’s also a manual lever inside the canister so you can still use it if power is ever lost.

Haul More Gear: Built-In T-Slot Rails

The integrated T-slots in the side rails make this cover ideal for anyone hauling bikes, kayaks, or ladders. You can mount racks like the Yakima OverHaul HD or Rhino-Rack Vortex directly into these slots without interfering with how the cover operates. The system runs the full length of the rails, so you can position accessories wherever you need them for different loads.

Keep a Clean Look: Low-Profile, Aerodynamic Fit

The curved rails and endcaps sit about an inch above the bed rails for a streamlined appearance that blends in instead of standing out. This design also cuts down on wind drag and helps improve gas mileage. Even with the canister at the cab, you still have full rear-window visibility and roughly 9" of usable space under it for storing smaller items.

Reliable Every Day: Smooth Operation and Long Life

Once installed using simple clamps—no drilling required—the UltraGroove runs quietly and consistently. Users note that it stays watertight over time and that they’d buy it again for its reliability. The sturdy aluminum construction and precision fit mean fewer adjustments down the road and easier use day after day.

I have enjoyed the cover but the powder coating has come off of one of the aluminum rails and I never recieved the correct end cap for one of the rails



by:

I have tried them all.
Trifolds....accordians...to
full on toppers.

I will not be looking anymore. It provides the security that I need and the convenience with the electric rolltop.

Still looks mint a year later.

Solid cover and easy to install.

This product exceeded my expectation! I installed it on a 2019 F450 limited and the only modifications required to the truck was to drill (2) 5/8” holes in the bed plug covers (4L3Z-99277B76-AA) to allow the drain tubes to exit the bed of the truck. The rail mounts did require me to remove (drill out) all the shims to get the required width for the cover. Thanks to both etrailer and Pace-Edwards customer support for answering questions about removing the shims.
The online instructions I downloaded from etrailer did not contain the correct installation widths for this Item, however the instructions shipped from Pace-Edwards were spot on.



by:

The Pace-Edwards tonneau cover works very well. I sprayed lithium grease in the track and it worked great. It was a challenge to install by myself but it turned out nice.



by:

The Pace Edward’s UltraGroove retractable hard Tonneau cover works well. Really liked the installation video.



by:

Easy to install, secure when closed and tailgate is locked, looks great. Very convenient, push a button and it opens, push it again and it closes. It can be stopped in any position which is great for a fifth wheel



by:

I just got it installed and it works perfectly, I can’t believe I have gone this long without it!



by:

Very easy to install,v just make sure you have a partner to help pick it up and get it into the bed. aside from that it took no time at all to wire it up and start using it. Looks great and very sturdy.



by:

Works great, installation instructions not great but the video on the website was amazing and was in great detail. The key fobs are little bigger then I like but the system it self is great and works well

I installed the pace Edwards powered ultra groove cover on an 2024 2500HD truck. The cover has been on for about a year. Overall the cover is very nice and I like the ability of being able to have the top partially open. I also have used it with my Yakima overhaul truck rack to haul kayaks and bikes. Putting the rack onto the ultragrroove was very easy and works excellent. It’s so nice having a powered cover with the rack onto! It’s very nice to not need to reach over the side rails to open/close. I have the Bluetooth option and that works very well and that is my primary choice of operation.

The cover was pretty easy to install and the videos were helpful. if you have an electric lift tailgate make sure to keep the overlap of the cover on the tailgate to a minimum or the power tailgate may not self close if the cover seal interacts too heavily with tailgate top

A few things that I found;As the manufacturer states it’s not water proof and I get a little water in from around the cover seals and the canister box. But the majority of the water seems to come in from all the openings in the bed and gaps on the tailgate. In the sun the black cover absorbs a LOT of heat and the temperature in the bed get quite high. Be aware of this on a sunny day with anny temperature sensitive items or coolers placed in the bed. Be careful touching the black slats on an hot sunny day they are hot. The cover motor significantly slows down when closing and sounds like it may not be able to close but it does get there. Although the motor sounds week when closing, it is not and if you get any body part caught between the cover closing and the tailgate you will suffer some pain. I found this out when leaning over the tailgate to try and grab something out of the bed with the remote in my pocket. I leaned on the close button and got my arm pinched between the tailgate and the closing cover. I had some serious bruises. From what I have experienced there is nothing to reverse the motor if it becomes jammed or pinches something like an arm. Seems the motor current gets maxed out and the motor stops and the cover is locked there. I would prefer if there was some sort of safety here as I worry whenever my grand kids are helping me load something. Best advice is not to have the fob in someone’s pocket where it could unexpectedly get triggered.

One thing that has been a problem is the drains on the bottom of the canister box. These are used to drain water from the box. The drains are plastic fittings that twist and lock in the bottom of the box and have a semi ridged drain hose that goes to a hole in the bed. The issue is that any time you put a 2x4, a piece of plywood, or anything that fits under the canister box, it hits the tube or nipple and snaps it off.

I repaired and replaced these several times. I have now replaced them with a 90 degree barbed elbow on the bottom of the box and used a more flexible vinyl hose. Now the hose is much tighter to the box and tube is not getting hit every time something is put in the bed.

Excellent quality. Great service and fast delivery



by:

Had this for about a year and its doing well. Pretty good keeping the water out. I would buy it again.



by:

Installed wiring for cover (power and switch) first and then installed the cover .
etrailers videos were great



by:

Imstalled to exact specifications,and the slide drags midway throthe cycle. Measurements are exact from front to back. I used the lubrication before first operation as well. Considering using a light, low temp grease to see if it will loosen up...

Not very impressed.

Thanks for your review, David. We're sorry to hear the cover is dragging midway through its travel. Since you've already verified the measurements and lubricated the system, a couple of things worth checking are that the rails are perfectly parallel along their entire length and that the canister is sitting square in the bed. Even a small amount of misalignment can cause the cover to bind during operation. It may also be worth inspecting the rails for any debris or shipping-related distortion that could create resistance. Please let me know if that helps.
