When you’re storing tools, camping gear, or groceries, you want a cover that keeps everything safe and dry. The RetraxPRO XR is built from 1" thick aluminum slats for serious impact and weather resistance. The matte black finish is scratch resistant and won’t fade in the sun, and the cover overlaps the tailgate to block out rain and dust. Weather stripping and foam seals line every edge to help keep moisture out. Once closed, the locking handle secures the cover in any position along the rails, keeping your gear protected when paired with a locked tailgate.
If you want to carry bikes, kayaks, or a rooftop tent, the integrated T-slots on the side rails make it easy. Just add your T-slot-compatible racks or crossbars (sold separately) from brands like Yakima, Thule, or Rhino Rack. You can mount gear above the bed without removing the cover, so you keep your cargo space free underneath. The Trax Rail System doesn’t interfere with the retractable design, so you can still open or close the cover with your racks mounted.
Opening and closing a tonneau cover shouldn’t be a struggle. This one glides effortlessly on sealed ball-bearing rollers along the rails, so it retracts in seconds without binding or needing lubrication. The pop-up handle on the driver’s side lets you move the cover with one hand, and you can lock it in place anywhere along the track. There are no pull straps, snaps, or hook-and-loop fasteners to mess with—just simple, smooth operation every time.
When you need the full bed for larger loads, the cover retracts neatly into a compact canister at the bulkhead. The canister’s spiral track system keeps the cover from rubbing against itself, preventing wear. Its angled bottom design takes up less space, leaving more room for long or bulky cargo. Two built-in drain tubes route water out of the canister to keep the stored cover dry and prevent mildew.
The RetraxPRO XR sits just 1" above the bed rails for a sleek, streamlined look that blends with your truck’s lines. The flush-mounted locking handle and overlapping front panel eliminate gaps, while the low-profile design also reduces wind drag to help improve fuel efficiency. With a 500-lb evenly distributed weight capacity and a lifetime warranty, this cover is built to look good and hold strong for years.
Ratings & Reviews
I have these tops on both of my trucks. Very durable and the powder coating is still in excellent condition.
It is great. Took about 2 hours to install. You will need 2 people to put the assembled cover in the bed. I do have the multiplex tailgate and rain water will get into the bed because of the gap in the tailgate sections.
Love the look and feel of the cover.
Need I say more... :)
Tonneau cover was delivered to my door with no damage. Hope to install it this weekend, weather permitting.
It doesn’t lock into any position very well, either have all the way open or close. At time after I unlock it then I have to open the tail gate pull it to get it to unlock.
Showed up quickly, this is the 3rd purchase from etrailer.com, they have great customer service, they know their products, prices are reasonable and they ship fast. I also purchased the Curt Hitch from them.
Order was processed quickly and arrive in the specified shipping time. Easy two person install and fine tuning is an easy one person job. Great quality top and rugged. Perfect top for your pickup. Bed stays water tight so storing sleeping bags or luggage is no problem on long trips.
Short version, LOVE IT!!! This was a lot more money than I wanted to spend but it was well worth it. While not water tight it is close. Easy to install, easy to operate. Does not make noise even on washboard roads. The loss of space by having a canister has not impacted me. But I saved the best for last. My daughter wanted one for her truck so I ordered another one. It was damaged in shipment and the best customer service representative in the world, Kimberly O, helped me out by getting me a new replacement quickly. I highly recommend this Tonneau Cover. I also got T-Slots and use my Rhino crossbars with the cover. No problems, just like they were made for each other.
I had a solid tonneau before and liked it. Only problems with it were you could not drive with the cover up and it was a bear to remove even with the help of my wife. That truck was totaled by a drunk driver. So the replacement truck had to have an easier cover and wile I was at it, why not some racks as well?
It looks great! Fits perfectly and was a synch to install.
On the down side it is not completely dry and it did freeze up once in the winter. Other than that I do like it and gave it 4 stars
Thanks etrailer. Ordered the Yakima Overhaul ladder racks and the Retrax tonneau cover. It’s the perfect solution for our camping/kayaking trips. Both products are solid and top notch. Installation was a breeze on my 20 Tundra.
Nice product. Had shipping damage etrailer made it right.
Really like this cover. Installation was fairly straightforward I was able to do the install myself but another person would have been helpful.
Retrax Pro XR with Rhino Rack Cross Bar set for the XR
This has greatly simplified my bicycle transport. Before I was using separate ladder rack on back of trailer, and hitch rack on truck. Compared with my prior setup, here are the improvements:
-- removes ~75 lbs from back of my trailer
-- not dealing with separate truck and camper bike racks (esp hitch rack taking up bed room while towing)
-- don't have to unload bikes to check something on camper roof
-- bikes are easier to load (even with lifting)
-- cross bars detach in seconds and lift off for full bed access or car wash (the cross bar and bike rack assembly stores on hook in garage)
-- Don't have to remove and store bike seats (they extended well past right side of trailer when on ladder rack)
-- Bikes are more protected above tonneau cover than either on hitch rack or ladder rack.
The Retrax Pro XR cover performs and looks like new after 1 year. Took 2 of us to install and adjust properly. Very minimal water leakage around tailgate sometimes which is expected. Read reviews of water leaks but must be due to improper installation/adjustment. Very satisfied and looks great. 2024 GMC 2500HD Denali
The Retrax Pro HR and Yakima Overhaul HD is a perfect combo and works well together.
We really like the bed cover. Wish it was more waterproof but still really nice.
Great fit. I had on on my old F150 and like the fit even more on my new Ram 2500.
I couldn’t be happier with this tonneau cover for my F450. It shipped well, arrived quickly, and was packaged securely with no damage at all. Everything was organized and protected right out of the box.
Installation was surprisingly easy — clear instructions and no headaches. I had it mounted in no time, and it fit my F450 perfectly. The alignment was spot-on and the clamps secured tightly without any modifications needed.
The cover looks great, feels durable, and gives the truck a clean, finished appearance while keeping the bed fully protected. It opens and closes smoothly and feels solid once locked down.
If you’re looking for a tonneau cover for your F450, this is a great choice. Fast shipping, easy install, and excellent quality — 5 stars all the way!
Quality and fit and finish seem strong. Straightforward install.
Would be 5 stars if the cover could close while using the Toyota tie-down system. The locking components knock up against the OEM tie-down brackets and stop the tonneau cover from closing.
Secondly, the OEM Toyota tie-down brackets cannot be used in the accessory T-slots as the OEM brackets have a larger T and cannot slide into the RetraxPRO accessory T-slots.
So,. I've paid for two different tie down systems , Toyota and Retrax and still don't have a solution. At my age I should have known better and done more research.
Replaced my "soft" tonneau cover that was tearing, fading, and falling apart after 10 years of faithful service. Bought this tonneau cover because of the retractable operation and the aluminum construction. While it is obviously built tougher and the operation is smooth, it does have its downfalls (which I didn't think of too much at the time). One being the space that is lost in the front where all that retraction goes, I guess there is around 8 inches of height at the very front. Additionally, where it lays is slightly lower than the bed rails which takes away at least around an inch of height compared to my previous cover. This makes a big difference when getting tall containers and the like to fit. I do enjoy the elevated level of security the new tonneau cover offers, even though I had zero problems with the previous cover.
Easy to order and find the correct fit. This is my third cover from this brand and my first with aluminum slats instead of polycarbonate due to a different truck size. Installation took about two hours from start to cleanup, and I needed a couple of neighbors to help lift it since the aluminum version is heavier. My previous polycarbonate covers didn’t leak and worked well, but they became slightly wavy over time. I expect the aluminum version to hold up better.
Installation note for 2026 Ram 3500 Dually: when positioning the clamps at each set of plastic allen screws had to adjust front and back clamps The front clamp near the cab bolts were a bit short due to the wider gap between bed and tonneau rail, so I removed the top back piece of the clamp to secure it properly. The lower supports did not fully reach the side walls, and the rear clamp near the tailgate required removing the lower support bolt to clear the cargo light. The middle clamps fit as intended with no adjustments. Something for the manufacture to consider as new trucks come out with different accessories.
Overall, I’ve been very happy with this brand over the years and am satisfied with this purchase.
Was relatively simple to install and works as advertised. Not my first of these covers so I am a return customer and also new what to expect with installation. The PDF instructions are good, but not quite Lego or IKEA level. I haven't installed the Yakima HD Overhaul System yet, but do not expect any issues.
I installed the RetraxPro XR tonneau cover myself and it wasn't bad at all. I had to do a lot of adjusting to get it perfectly straight and even. The hardest part was having my wife help me lift the cover in the truck after it was assembled. I wish they would include some kind of a reducer to be able to fit the drain hoses into the smaller holes in the bed of the truck so no drilling would have to be made. Other than that, great bed cover and can't wait to add T-slot accessories.
I like the design and the convenience of not flipping it. It's not completely water proof as I'd like. The rails for the the Thule mounts and bike rack are awesome!!
