Features to know about
All-Weather Cargo Protection: Sealed Polycarbonate Construction
Rain, snow, and dust can ruin your gear if your bed cover lets moisture in. The RetraxONE XR uses a one-piece Lexan polycarbonate design with weather stripping and foam seals on all sides to block out the elements. It performs in temperatures from -50° to 200°F without cracking, swelling, or fading. The matte black finish is scratch resistant and UV treated, so it stays looking clean even after years of exposure.
Smooth Access Every Time: Sealed Ball-Bearing Rollers
Some retractable covers can bind or drag when you try to open them. This one glides on sealed ball-bearing rollers that never need lubrication. You can retract the cover with one hand using the pop-up locking handle, and it locks in any position along the rails. That means you can keep part of your bed covered while leaving space for long items out back.
Secure Storage You Can Trust: Lockable Handle and Flush Design
Loose tailgates and soft covers leave your gear exposed. The RetraxONE XR has a flat, key-lockable handle concealed under a weather-guarded lid. When closed, it can’t be pried up at the edges, and the cover overlaps the tailgate for extra protection. Combined with a locked tailgate, it turns the bed into a sealed, hard-sided compartment that’s tough to breach.
Haul More Gear Above the Bed: Built-In T-Slot Rails
If you use bikes, kayaks, or ladders, the integrated Trax Rail System is a big plus. It accepts most T-slot accessories from brands like Rhino-Rack, Thule, and Yakima (sold separately). You can mount crossbars or a rack above the cover and still retract it freely underneath. That lets you haul more while keeping the bed cargo covered and secure.
Streamlined Look and Setup: Low-Profile, No-Drill Design
Bulky covers can spoil the lines of a truck, but this one sits just 1" above the bed rails for a clean, low profile. The canister’s angled bottom saves space inside the bed, and the spiral track system keeps the cover from rubbing as it retracts. Installation is simple—clamp-on rails, no drilling required. Once it’s on, it’s maintenance-free and ready for daily use.

T-60243 Retrax RetraxONE XR Hard Bed Cover w/ Trax Rails - Retractable - Lexan - Matte
Great accessory for our F-150. Installation isn't too bad if you just take it slow and double-check everything as you go. Looks are top-notch, and the functionality has been excellent. Gives us an extra sense of security being able to lock the cover when needed. You lose a small amount of bed space, but so far it hasn't caused any problems for us. Did I mention it looks great? 3502137

Glad to hear it looks great, Shelli! I have had a similar cover on my Silverado since 2018 and the retractable covers are the way to go, at least in my opinion. I haven't any issues with the canister making loading up the bed with stuff cause any problems and I don't think you will either. ^___^
What are you typically keeping in your bed? I always have a milk crate with survival type stuff in it, just in case!

The install was very easy but definitely a two man operation. The section that holds the rolled up cover is pretty large so you do lose some space. That section is also is fairly thin walled. I have dented and scratched it pretty good but it doesn't affect its function. I put one of those cargo load bars across the bed in front of it to try and stop that. I did have it "rack" a little after some rough drives which can cause it to bind a bit when rolling up. But it always closed on the second or third try. And its easy to straighten up again if needed. No water has gotten in the bed and it sure makes grocery getting a whole lot easier. I think its great. 1368163
One year in and I have no problems with this cover. Still opens and closes smoothly. It does take up more room than I was expecting but its not something that would keep me from buying it again. I have added the Yakima rack to it and it all works great.

So far I have about 10000 miles on this set up and the Retrax cover has been great, love being able to keep prying eyes off my gear and water infiltration has been minimal. This is the plastic version and seems to be holding up fine to the elements thus far…time will tell, there is a slight loss of cargo space with this unit installed but it hasn’t been an issue for me. I am very happy overall to this point. 1277912
I spent more time getting the cover aligned than assembling and getting it onto the truck bed rails. The instructions are very good. I had to adjust the top jaws of the all the rail clamps since I have the T-slot XR rail system. I used a thin piece of cardstock to check for unwanted clearance between the jaw and truck bed flange. Since I didn't have a very large drill bit, I used a Dremel sanding bit to enlarge the pilot hole that I drilled through the plastic bed plug for the drain tube. That worked fine. The cover looks great and seems to operate well on this first day of installation and use. The T-slot rails do not get in the way of using the hand-holes for the rear step bumper. 3213723
etrailer had excellent communication and the cover came in sooner than expected. The Retrax cover was flawless and had excellent instructions for easy installation! 1240501
Excellent shipping. No damage. Installation instructions were easy to follow. No complex tools needed. Lightweight product. Easy lifting and maneuvering into position. 1367431

Piece of junk. It ripples in the wind like a tarp over the back of the pickup. The canister does not roll up without having to be forced it in, mostly due to the ripples from driving down the highway. 2 stars because it could work well, the parts and design, if the actual cover were designed for the use it is intended for. 3517585

Pretty decent cover and installation was reasonable. I’m still not sure how water resistant it will be but we will see. It is replacing a folding cover and thus far it is easier to use. I’ll have to see if it is worth the space trade off but I didn’t like the rear window being blocked when the folding cover was open. 3443103

The product quality is very good, and I anticipate many years of useful service. Regrettably, the assembly directions are somewhat superficial. Identifying hardware (i.e.: screw size, color, etc.) is particularly challenging as there is not an actual size comparison chart. Properly aligning the product was also very difficult, multiple attempts were required. 1464412

Terrific product. Ive been very pleased. The only only improvement I can suggest, improve the drainage hose attachment fittings. They come loose too easily.

Fantastic cover. Perfect for my needs. Performs better than I imagined it would. Ability to access bed instantly with supplies... Yakima rack on/off in literally less than two minutes. Drive a black limited Tacoma. Perfect match for this truck. From sleek to bound for the trails in no time. 953251

Works good overall. Opens, closes and locks very well. I get some water coming in on the sides , driving in the rain. Not pleased with the connections on the drain tubes. I have had to glue them in more than once, even during initial install. I did not like the fact that I had to drill those 1/2" holes in the bed for them as well. 852784

The install is complete. I'd prefer a hard copy of the directions. The little point and shoot QR code took me to the wrong cover. After a little work I did find the correct one. This added a good 30 minutes to the install time. Little trouble with the adjustment. I might have to adjust a little more in the days to come. I'm conservative with the 4 star rating. Time will tell, could move to 5. The MAJOR concern...the delivery company delivered it to the wrong address. Thankfully I have honest neighbors otherwise someone would have been out $[XX].
I'd have a conversation with the delivery company if I were y'all. 3196225

If you want to use the Yakima OverHaul HD # Y01151-5755 with your Retrax Tonneau cover # RTT-60243 on your 2019 Ram 1500, they will work together. If you want to carry two bikes and kayaks you will need to use one kayak carrier that can carry then both vertically. That way you will have enough room for two other bikes.
The best way to get the most out of your rack is to use a post style kayak carrier # Y04041. these keep the kayaks on their side so you take up the least amount of space.... view full answer...
As of right now (April 2019) the Yakima OverHaul HD # Y01151-58 (68" crossbars) and # Y01151-59 (78" crossbars) are the only ladder racks confirmed to fit with your RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover w/ Trax Rails # RTT-60243 (5-1/2' bed) or # RTT-60245 (6-1/2' bed). All you need for the OverHaul HD to fit the Trax Rails is the adapter kit # Y01155.
One of the best things about the OverHaul HD is the ability to add eye bolts # Y01162, load stops # Y01161, or ladder roller # Y01163 for customized... view full answer...
The Pace Edwards UltraGroove Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover With T-Slots # 311-KRDA24A55 is definitely going to be your best option for your 2021 Ram 1500 with BUG utility rails in the bed. To be absolutely sure it will fit you will want to measure the distance between your utility rails. The tonneau cover's canister measures 60-1/2" wide, 9-3/4" deep, and 9-1/4" tall. My research says that your bed should measure 66-1/2" wide, giving you plenty of room to install the cover and canister.... view full answer...
I have a great solution to a ladder rack for you. I confirmed with my contact at Pace Edwards that the supports that hold up the bars are black and the crossbars are silver on the EL200 Ladder Rack for Pace Edwards UltraGroove Tonneau Covers # 311-ELD0101.
As far as the EL200's compatibility with the RetraxOne XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTT-60243, I confirmed with Retrax that the EL200 will not fit with the t-slots on the RetraxOne XR for your 2019 RAM 1500 5-1/2 bed. However, a great alternative... view full answer...
We have the exact parts you need to add a rack system to your 2019 Ram 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed and the RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover with Trax Rails # RTT-60243:
- Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers # RRVA180B-RRRLT600
This combination will give you a superb tonneau and rack combination. view full answer...
Since the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 is made specifically for Trax systems on the Retrax XR tonneau models like the # RTT-60243, I reached out to my contacts at both Retrax and Rhino-Rack. Through the information I gained from both manufacturers, the on and off-road rating for the # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 when used with the Pioneer Platforms # RR42114BF or # RR42115BF is 220 pounds. view full answer...
The Pace Edwards JackRabbit Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover w Explorer Rails # PE45CV fits your 2021 Ram 1500 5-1/2' bed without rambox. The built-in Explorer Rails are only compatible with Pace Edwards ladder racks such as the Pace Edwards Utility Rig Rack Truck Bed Ladder Rack # 311-UR3005. This ladder rack is not compatible with bike racks or any T-slot accessories since it doesn't have the T-slot channel.
A better option is to use a tonneau cover ladder rack combo kit: Pace Edwards... view full answer...
Yes, the Thule DockGrip # TH895 will work with the channels of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System # RRVA180B-RRRLT600.
If you need recommendations for a compatible Retrax XR tonneau cover that works with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars, it depends on the bed length of your truck and if you have a RamBox on your 2021 RAM 1500. Retrax XR models are only available if your truck does not have the RamBox system. With that being said, I recommend the RetraxONE XR Tonneau Cover # RTT-60243... view full answer...
