Features to know about

Power at the Push of a Button: Electric Retractable Operation

No more climbing into the bed or fiddling with latches just to open your cover. The UltraGroove uses an electric motor wired to your truck’s battery and comes with two key fobs for remote operation. Press a button and it smoothly retracts or closes in seconds, and you can stop it anywhere along the track thanks to its electro-magnetic brake. It’s quick, quiet, and makes everyday use a lot easier—especially when your hands are full or you’re towing.

Haul and Rack at the Same Time: T-Slot Rail System

Carrying bikes, kayaks, or ladders doesn’t mean leaving your bed open to weather and theft. The integrated T-slot rails let you mount a rack system right above the cover, so you can haul gear overhead while keeping the bed secure below. These rails run the full length of the cover for adjustable rack placement, and they’re compatible with most major rack brands as well as Pace Edwards’ own EL200 setup rated up to 200 lbs.

Keeps Cargo Dry and Clean: Advanced Water Management

Heavy rain and car washes aren’t a problem here. The rails and canister use drain tubes at both ends to funnel water through factory bed holes instead of letting it pool inside. Wide outer rail seals, interior seals, silicon weather hinges, and endcaps over the tailgate all work together to keep out dust and moisture. Even through storms or snow, your tools and gear stay protected without needing extra tarps or liners.

Built Strong for Everyday Use: Aluminum Panels in Matte Black

The interlocking aluminum panels have a black powder coat that resists corrosion and dents while keeping a clean matte look. It sits about 1 inch above the bed rails for a low-profile fit that blends in with the truck’s shape and helps reduce drag on the highway. Users call out how sturdy it feels once installed—it doesn’t flex or rattle—and how sharp it looks once in place.

Fast Setup with No Drilling: Clamp-On Installation

You don’t need to drill into your bed or cut anything to install this cover. The rails clamp directly onto the side rails with two clamps per side, and built-in kickstands help level everything out so it closes evenly. Once wired to the battery, you’re ready to go. Reviewers like how straightforward it is—just grab a buddy to lift it into place, tighten the clamps, and start using it right away.

Excellent quality. Great service and fast delivery

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



by:

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.

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

Great communication and shipping

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:

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.



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:

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



by:

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.

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:

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

  • Looking for Replacement Screw for Top Cover Plate of Pace Edwards UltraGroove
    Hey Mike, I checked with Pace Edwards and those screw sizes are 10-32 x 1/2 flat head machine screws. In the future if your ever stuck in a situation like this you can take one of the screws you still have to a hardware store and they can help match it.

  • Does Pace Edwards UltraGroove Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover Come with Remote
    Hey Lee, the Pace Edwards UltraGroove Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # PE87QJ that you referenced does come with remotes to allow you to easily open and close it but it does not have a Bluetooth connection so that you could do that via a phone app. This is also a fit for your 2026 Ford F-450 long bed as well. Do you have a lot of gear you need to keep in your truck bed that a cover would protect?

  • Should I Get A Manual Or Electric Retracting Tonneau Cover For My 2026 Ford F-450?
    Hi Hilario, congrats on the new truck! ^___^ If this were my truck and I was installing a retractable cover on it (which I actually did with my Silverado), I would go with the manual RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover - Retractable - Aluminum - Matte Black - Accessory T-Slots # RTT-80384 over the electric one. I installed a Pace Edwards retractable because I got a really good deal on it at the time, but I was debating between it and the RetraxPRO. Both manual. The electric options were...

  • Powered Retractable Bed Cover For A 2024 Ford F350 With 8 Foot Bed
    Hi Brandon! We have several power retractable bed covers for your 2024 Ford F350 with an 8' bed, though no Retrax options (they don't have one for an 8' bed for some reason). All of them are from Pace Edwards and I recommend the UltraGroove Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover - Electric - Aluminum - Matte Black # PE87QJ. Reason being, this one is rack compatible, low profile (inside bed rails), has a built-in lock and has an aluminum construction. I have had a Pace Edwards cover on my Silverado...

  • Where is Manual Release Lever for Pace Edwards UltraGroove
    Hey Mark, yes it is correct that the manual release for the Pace Edwards UltraGroove # PE87QJ is under the cover up near the cannister. I know that is pretty hard to get to but it would be pretty rare that your battery would be totally dead and you'd need to get to the truck bed at same time. Putting it there makes it harder to defeat it by a thief as well.

  • Does Same Pace Edwards Tonneau Cover Fit Both 6-3/4' and 8' Bed on 2024 F-350
    Hi Kenneth; the covers are different between bed sizes on your 2024 Ford F-350. The # PE66QJ and # PE87QJ you looked at will only fit the 8' bed. For the same covers on the 6-3/4' bed you need the # PE46QJ or # PE77QJ.

  • Will Pace Edwards UltraGroove Interfere With 5th Wheel Side Rail Clearance
    Hey Jason! The Pace Edwards UltraGroove Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # PE87QJ won't cause any issues with the range of motion on your 5th wheel. This is designed for the 8' bed, so I'm assuming that is what you have on your 2022 F-350. This is the best option for a powered retractable cover and it comes with the side rails for accessory installation if you want to install a rack like # Y01151-5855 or # Y01152-5855. What kind of 5th wheel are you towing?

  • What is Weight Capacity of Pace Edwards UltraGroove Channels
    The ladder rack grooves of the Pace Edwards UltraGroove part # PE87QJ are rated for 400 lb dynamic. They do not have a static rating but I would assume pretty easily a lot more. Typically this application is for tents. I would easily assume that any roof top tent would work without issues.

  • Tonneau Cover Recommendation for 2026 Ford F-450 with Fifth Wheel Hitch
    Hey Richard, our most popular tonneau cover for your 2026 Ford F-450 long bed would be the Pace Edwards UltraGroove part # PE87QJ which is low profile like you want, would allow your fifth wheel hitch to fit easily, and also is retractable which makes it really easy to open and close while also looking really nice. I attached a picture of one we installed on a similar F-450 as well.

  • Is There A Pace Edwards Contractor Rig Rack Compatible With A 2023 Ford F-350
    The rack slides into T-Tracks so it most likely would still be compatible, but there's no guarantee without the manufacturer or someone else actually testing the fit to confirm it. The contractor rig fitment chart I got from Pace Edwards stopped back in 2021 so I can't confirm that the # 311-CR6008 would actually be a fit dimensionally with the bed. You could check with Ford to see if the bed design changed from 2021 to the 2023 to see if the old fitment would still work. If the bed design...

  • Premium Tonneau Cover Recommended For a 2017 Ford F-350 With 8 Foot Bed
    I see the Tonneau Cover # 834532000715 you found is for a truck with a toolbox but does not fit the 2017 Ford F-350 with an 8' bed you entered. If you are needing a cover for this truck with a 18"-20" wide tool box the Extang Solid Fold 2.0 Hard Tonneau Cover # EX84488 is a premium version. This does not have vinyl on the top which can tear and become damaged. Instead it uses three 1" thick polypropylene panels. If you do not have a tool box on your F-350 the Pace Edwards UltraGroove...

  • Will The Pace Edwards UltraGroove Tonneau Cover Fit A 2023 Ford F-350 DRW 8' Bed
    The internal dimensions of a dual rear wheel model versus the single rear wheel model will be the same so the Pace Edwards UltraGroove Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # PE87QJ would be a confirmed fit for your 2023 Ford F-350 DRW with an 8' bed.

  • Best Powered Retractable Tonneau Cover For a 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    I recommend the Pace Edwards UltraGroove Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # PE87QJ for your 2022 Ford F-250 with the 8' long bed. This cover is made in the USA with a no drill installation. It has an integrated T-slot on the rails that will allow you to add a EL200 Ladder Rack # 311-ELF0301 for any long items you may need to carry without having to remove your tonneau cover. An electromagnetic brake allows you to stop the cover at any position along the track.

  • Roof Rack that Can Fit Tracks of Pace Edwards UltraGroove for 2022 Ford F-250
    The Pace Edward UltraGroove Tonneau cover part # PE87QJ for your 2022 Ford F-250 long bed has tracks that are basically the same as the tracks on campers that were designed for roof racks. To add a set of crossbars to these tracks I recommend the Yakima 60 inch JetStream Bars # Y00426 along with the Landing Pad # Y00221 and Towers # Y00148 to attach them to the tracks. This will give you a set of aero shaped bars that are very high quality and quiet that also have channels on the top of...
