A lot of retractable covers can feel stiff or awkward to use, but the UltraGroove opens and closes with just a turn of the handle. The tension spring inside the 9-1/4" x 9-3/4" canister automatically retracts the cover, and a built-in pull strap makes it easy to close again. It locks securely at 12" intervals, so you can leave part of the bed open for taller items without losing coverage near the cab. The motion is smooth and takes little effort, which is something owners really appreciate day to day.
Rain, snow, or dust isn’t a problem with this cover. The ArmorTek deck uses vinyl bonded to rigid aluminum slats, giving you the clean look of a soft cover with the strength of a hard one. Multiple seals around the rails, endcaps, and tailgate keep out water and debris. Drain tubes at both the front and rear channel runoff through factory holes in the bed so water doesn’t pool or freeze in the tracks. Even after heavy storms or car washes, gear stays dry and protected under this setup.
If you like to carry bikes, kayaks, ladders, or camping gear, the built-in T-slots make setup simple. The rails run the full length of the bed so you can position accessories where they fit best. They work with racks that use standard T-slot hardware, letting you haul gear above the bed while keeping cargo below covered and secure. The low profile—about one inch above the bed rails—keeps everything looking streamlined and helps with aerodynamics while driving.
When security matters, this cover stands out. Both the handle and pull strap sit underneath the rear plate, so they’re inaccessible once the tailgate is closed and locked. The aluminum panels resist prying or cutting far better than soft covers, giving solid protection against break-ins. Owners like knowing that short of destroying the metal panels themselves, there’s no easy way inside.
Installing the UltraGroove doesn’t require drilling or special tools. The rails clamp inside the bed using two clamps per side with built-in kickstands to keep them level. Shims are included for tapered beds so you can get a tight seal along both sides. Once mounted, it opens smoothly and lines up cleanly against the tailgate without constant adjusting—a solid fit right from install.
Highest point of 5th wheel hitch must be 2" below the bed rails.

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!
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.
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!
All contents came undamaged and I am waiting for a nice day to install it on the truck
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.
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
Arrived quickly, fit and works as expec ted.
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.
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.
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! :)
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.
Quality product that fits my requirements. However, I would ask for clearer installation instructions.
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.
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
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 have owned 2 of these covers. Had one on my 2500 that my wife and I liked so put one on my new 3500. I like the convience of being able to open/close the cover with little effort. There is no exposed lock that can be hacked/picked so the only way in is either destroy the metal cover or tailgate. I have been very happy with it and will have one on my next truck.
Really makes the truck look great! Easy to install when using the video.
easy to install and a great product for the money
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.
