Features to know about

Secure Gear Anywhere: Locking Retractable Aluminum Cover

If you keep tools or valuables in your truck bed, the RetraxPRO MX gives you serious protection. Its 1" thick, impact-resistant aluminum panels and a built-in locking handle keep your cargo safe and out of sight. You can close and lock the cover anywhere along the rails—just push the handle down to secure it. When paired with your locked tailgate, it’s nearly impossible to pry open or cut through, so your gear stays protected from theft and weather.

Smooth Access When You Need It: Sealed Ball-Bearing Rollers

Some covers jam, bind, or wear out after a season, but this one glides open with sealed ball-bearing rollers. There are no hinges, springs, or straps to fight with—just a pop-up handle that lets you slide it open or shut with one hand. The spiral track system inside the canister keeps the slats from rubbing together, so the motion stays smooth and the cover lasts longer.

Protection from Rain, Snow, and Dust: Foam Seals and Drain Tubes

Heavy rain and road grime are no match for the RetraxPRO MX. Foam seals along the side rails and weather stripping at the bulkhead keep out moisture and debris, while the 2 included drain tubes route any water out of the canister. Even in stormy conditions, your truck bed stays dry and clean. The cover overlaps the top of the tailgate, sealing out water where other designs often leak.

Built to Last Through Anything: 1"-Thick Aluminum and 500-lb Capacity

This cover isn’t just for looks—it’s built tough. The heavy-duty aluminum slats can handle up to 500 lbs of evenly distributed weight or snow load. The matte black finish resists scratches, fading, and corrosion so it keeps its sleek look through years of use. Wide rails sit 1" above the bed for a clean, integrated appearance that cuts wind drag and keeps your truck looking sharp.

Quick Setup with No Drilling: Clamp-On Installation

Installing the RetraxPRO MX is straightforward. The rails clamp to your bed with included hardware—no drilling or special tools needed. Once in place, the pre-assembled canister and rails line up square and secure. It’s ready to use in about the time it takes to load your first round of gear.

The RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover does leak more water then I thought it would or was lead to believe it would. Also, I thought it would lock in different locations when it was rolling in or out but it doesn't. Question is would I buy it again most likely not because of the issue with the leaking water & not locking in different positions everything else is what I thought it would be, thank you.

  • Can Thule Xsporter Pro Shift Overhead Rack Fit Retrax Pro XR Ladder Rack Tracks
    The Thule Xsporter Pro Shift Overhead Rack # TH54RR comes with it's own base rails that attach to the top of the bed rails of the truck. The RetraxPRO XR # RTT-80481 that fits your 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 5-3/4 ft bed comes with it's own rails that are on top of the bed rails for a rack like the Yakima Overhaul HD rack # Y01151-5755 to attach to. For a similar Retrax tonneau that allows access to the bed rails for the Thule to fit you'd want the part # RT80471.

The RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover # RT80471 you referenced is just slightly lighter by about 10 lbs or so. However the MX PRO doesn't have the Trax Rail System to attach t-slot accessories...

  • Comparing RetraxPro MX Hard Tonneau Covers with Aluminum Construction and Matte Black Finish
    The 5 foot 8 inch bed of the 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 is referenced as a 5-1/2 foot bed. The manufacturer just rounds the numbers for parts like a tonneau cover, but the covers will be tested to confirm a fit, so they have been tested to fit your truck. The difference between the RetraxPro MX Stake Pocket # RT80460 and the RetraxPro MX Wide Rail # RT80471 is only in the style of the rails.
