The JackRabbit retractable hard tonneau cover protects your cargo and truck bed from the elements. Its durable ArmorTek construction consists of a vinyl fabric top sheet that is bonded to rigid aluminum panels, combining the seamless appearance of a soft tonneau with the security features of a hard tonneau. The stylish cover locks at any point along the rails, and it retracts easily with the turn of a handle.


Retractable Cover with Built-In Pull Strap

Handle on key latch opens cover


The original JackRabbit retracts with the turn of a handle. The handle - located on the key latch at the tailgate end of the cover - activates a heavy-duty tension spring. This spring automatically retracts the cover into the canister at the bulkhead of your truck bed. A built-in pull strap helps you extend the cover over your bed. As you pull, the tonneau will engage the side rails at 12" intervals. You can stop the cover at these designated intervals or you can use the key latch to lock the cover at any point along the side rails.


Hauling flexibility for partial loads


This feature enables you to carry tall or long items that overlap your tailgate while still covering cargo, such as a toolbox, stored closer to the bulkhead of the truck.


A hook-and-loop fastener strip is included to secure the pull strap up and off of your bed floor. You can also use the rear plate of the tonneau cover to pull it closed.


Angled Canister

Angled Canister


The cover retracts into a compact, angled canister located at the front of your truck bed. This canister protects the retracted cover from the elements, and with the cover stored in the canister you'll have unrestricted visibility out of your rear window. The angled design of the canister also allows for maximum clearance for your tools and cargo so there is no need to remove the cover to haul cargo.


Water Management System

The JackRabbit rails feature a water management system that channels excess water into the canister. This prevents water from getting into your bed or freezing in your tonneau cover rails during cold temperatures. Drain tubes attached to the bottom of the canister remove water through the OE drain holes in the floor of your truck bed.


Flush-Mount Design

Low profile tonneau cover


The black powder-coated side rails mount level with your truck bed rails for a flush appearance. This flush-mount design is aerodynamic to reduce wind drag, and it helps to improve gas mileage when the cover is closed.


Cover allows for fifth wheel towing


Even with the flush-mount design, the cover fits over most fifth-wheel trailer hitches. Note: The highest point of the fifth-wheel hitch must be at least 2" below the bed rails.


Stylish and Heavy-Duty Construction

Vinyl and aluminum construction


The JackRabbit deck is constructed of a vinyl top layer bonded to heavy-duty aluminum slats. This ArmorTek deck looks like a soft tonneau cover with no visible seams, but has the strength and security of a hard tonneau cover. A large seal at the rear of the bed closes the gap between the cover and tailgate to create a barrier to prevent water from entering the truck bed.


Security

The Jackrabbit provides excellent protection for your cargo when used in conjunction with a closed and locked tailgate. The heavy-gauge aluminum panels are better at preventing theft when compared with soft covers that can be cut or punctured with a knife. The panels are also more effective at preventing theft than tri-fold hard tonneau covers because the panels cannot be pried open at any point along the rails.


No-Drill Installation

To install the cover, set the canister in your truck bed and support it with a box or other sturdy object. Slide the cover side rails into the canister until they are fully seated in the rail grips while also threading the cover into the channels in the rails. Secure the rails to the canister with bolts and washers.


Secure the rails to your truck bed side rails using 2 clamps per side. Slide the clamp onto the rail, flip the pivot arm up so it is under the bed rail lip, and tighten the clamp in place. Shims are included for trucks with tapered beds.


Mount the top cover plate to the canister with the included hardware. Attach the drain tubes to the canister and route each tube out of the OEM drain holes in the floor of your bed.


To hold the pull strap off the floor of your truck bed, apply the adhesive hook-and-loop fastener strip onto the underside of a rail at your desired location.

I have a couple of issues. It rattles while driving and it leaks water along the tailgate.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you. I have reached out to the manufacturer and have found that with the lighter vinyl cover, some sound is normal while driving at higher speeds. Also the best way to determine where it is leaking is to perform what they call a water test. For a water test you would need to spray water up into the air, and let it fall onto the cover in the same way rain would. You may need to put your thumb over the hole of the hose to pressurize the water, to help simulate rain s. Try to avoid aiming the spray directly at the cover near the seals and corners because it will force the water through. It would be beneficial to have someone to be under the cover to get a video recording of where the water comes through.

Fits great. Follow the instructions. Took about an hour to install although this is the second one I’ve owned.



by:

works well with my 5th wheel hitch. The slide channel does need to be lubed on occasion to operate smoothly. Does keep bed contents protected (out of sight) when it is closed.

Jackrabbit has been installed for a week now. Simple installation took less than an hour. Looks good and operates well. Having rained, it seems I'll need to add some weather stripping in some areas.
Rails and head box arrived on different days. Side rails arrived with a 3/4" long gouge on the top of the drivers side which was disappointing.
Overall happy with the purchase.



by:

Install was fairly straight forward. Once I figured out how the side rails attached, assembly went well. Looks great on the truck. Haven't tested how water resistant it is yet but looking at the foam gaskets around the perimeter after the rails were leveled properly, it should be really resistant to any water leaking in. I had another brand retractable cover on my last truck. This one has superior fit and finish and I like the operation better.



by:

We love our Tonneau Cover! It has been a practical solution for keeping items dry and safe when we travel. We have also had a number of fellow campers and travelers admire how it looks and how convenient it is to use. We would highly recommend this type of tonneau cover.



by:

Great product. Easy to install once u watch video



by:

I enjoy the cover, it works very well and has held up good. It held up well in a rare southern ice and snow storm we had, little to no damage from weight of snow and ice.

Great service from etrailer! Was backordered, they kept me updated well. When it came in, I was headed out of town so ONE call placed it on hold until I returned. It was queued up to ship when I returned, and that is exactly what happened. I missed the notes in reviews about the video, so I went with the paper. Did a little figuring-out and got it installed, but one side would not roll out. Cant see the mechanics of it in the cannister, so I called Pace-Edwards. They connected me with an engineer who correctly diagnosed the problem, sent the needed part, told me the procedure to effect the corrections, and it is now the best top I've had (and there have been many...). So, the shims that are on the clamps are on the clamps already installed on the rail, not the ones you install. And you need to be sure both sides of the mat are in front of the guide before you install the rails. If you read this review, the take-away is watch the video, heed the advice, and yes, the new tow-beast DOES fit in the garage. If only just...



by:

Not as easily done by yourself but doable though. Took me about a hour. Looks great. Had questions about the bedcovers on top edge, to leave or remove. See pics. For some reason it was a little snug at backend of truck bed.



by:

Looks great. Protects items stored in the bed. Opens up to use fifth wheel hitch. Just what we needed. That's the positive side. It took a long time to get it. It was quite a bit of work to install it. But it does fit well and it appears to be excellent.



by:

I like it much better than my old Flip Pac. It seems about as sturdy as the Flip Pac as well, I anticipated it would be more rigid, but that was only my perception so I did not knock a star off. Very easy to use. The instructions need an update, it looks as though they are now doing a step during assembly. Would have been much easier to install with a second person, like stated in the instructions, but I did manage by myself. Realy like the look and fitment, haven't tested the water tightness yet.



by:

This is the second Pace Edwards Tonneau cover I’ve owned. My first was on my 2021 Ram and the second went on my 2024 Chevrolet 3500 High Country. Both cover have worked flawlessly and I have no regrets purchasing these two covers.



by:

Looks alone, maybe 4 stars. The unit looks great on the truck... However, note when purchasing this unit has no weight rating for the surface of the cover. I purchased the unit in January 2024, installed it early March 2024. The unit failed miserable 6 days later. In Colorado we had a heave late March snow, did not clear 100% of the snow off the roof and the remaining snow fell onto the tonneau cover, removing it from the tracks near the roll unit. It was impossible to set the cover back on the track while covered and off the track. The only way to remove the cover was to cut the vinyl/aluminum cover off. Yes, a huge waste of money without the opportunity to contact the manufacturer but I needed the bed open at that time. So I had to cut the cover off completely and discard, luckily I still had the box it came in as it had only been 6 days since it was damaged. So at least i had options for discarding all my extra trash. If your looking for a roll top cover go with a retrax. This Pace Edwards cover was the absolute biggest POS I've ever seen.



by:

Excellent quality, almost flush with top of bed for fifth wheel clearance. Definitely recommend 2-person instillation.



by:

It work really well still looks great thank you



by:

4 stars, good quality product and packaging. Installed by myself in 1 hour. Fit and finish are very high quality.

However...the drain hoses for the canister are both 3" too short to reach the drain holes in the bed. And even if they were long enough, the hoses are too big to fit through the drain holes. So now I have to bodge together some sort of clamped-on extension so the canister drains properly.



by:

Just received my q25 hitch, one end of the box was missing and the other was torn up pretty bad, the two side pieces are scratched up a little, I'll touch them up with some black paint, other than that it looks like it will work good.



by:

My cover is still working fine a year later. So nice to be able to pull it half way when I'm hooked to my 5th wheel...cover everything up front in the box!



by:

I love the cover it works great, I would recommend watching some YouTube videos on assembly, it was very helpful with tips. It took me a couple of hours to assemble, would recommend this cover to anyone.



by:

So far, so good. This top has met all my expectations. I initially looked for another “Roll & Lock” but they didn’t have one to fit box. Someties things things happen for a reason.



by:

After I got all the parts, read the instructions three times had my brother help this thing was a job to put on harder then I thought it would be. After a lengthy time we got on looks really good on my 2017 F250 Super Duty. Would buy this again.



by:

The Jack Rabbit is a great Tonneau cover. It looks great and the installation process is pretty straight forward. I like the fact that it is very low profile. It provides the security of a hard cover but is very easy to retract and get out of the way for hauling.

  • What Tonneau Cover Do You Recommend for My 2021 Ram 2500 (6-1/2 Ft. Bed) with a 5th-Wheel Hitch?
    For a cover that fits over a 5th-wheel hitch on your 2021 Ram 2500 (6-1/2 ft. bed without Rambox), I recommend the Pace Edwards JackRabbit Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # 311-JRD7833. The JackRabbit engages the rails at 12" intervals so you can partially cover long items. This is a great feature just in case you want to leave the front portion of the cover closed while you are towing your 5th-wheel trailer. Also, the JackRabbit gives your truck superior water protection with drain tubes...

  • Pace Edwards JackRabbit Retractable Tonneau Cover Use With External Gas Tank
    The canister of the Pace Edwards JackRabbit Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # 311-JRD7833 takes up about 11-1/2 inches from the bulkhead of your 2021 Ram's bed. If your additional gas tank is over the rails like a tool box and is 19-21" wide, you may want to look into getting the Access Toolbox Edition Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # A64259.

  • Tonneau Cover That Fits 2016 Ram 1500 That Locks in Different Positions
    There is a tonneau cover that fits your 2016 Ram 1500's 6-1/2' bed that can be maneuvered incrementally, but the Pace Edwards SwitchBlade Metal Hard Tonneau Cover # 311-SMD7833 will not lock at different spots along the rails. I recommend checking out the Pace Edwards JackRabbit Hard Tonneau Cover # 311-JRD7833 which can be positioned at 12" intervals along your Ram's bed with the use of a latching system.

  • Comparing Pace Edwards JackRabbit and Switchblade for a 2019 Ram 3500 with 6-1/2' Bed
    The big difference between the Pace Edwards JackRabbit part # 311-JRD7833 and Pace Edwards Switchblade part # 311-SWD7833 for a 2019 Ram 3500 with 6-1/2' bed is that the JackRabbit can be locked open at intermittent points along the bed and the Switchblade can only be locked either fully open or fully closed.

  • Can The Pace Edwards JackRabbit Tonneau Cover For 2020 Ram 2500 Lock At Any Position?
    I spoke with my contact at Pace Edwards and can confirm that the Pace Edwards JackRabbit # 311-JRD7833 is able to be latched when opening and closing. It is also able to be locked with the key at any position that it is latched. You cannot lock it in between the 12" latching intervals. This is an excellent product and offers for an easy installation. No drilling is required. This cover also has a built-in water management system, which channels the excess water into a drain tube that runs...

  • Does the JackRabbit Tonneau Cover Require a Key to Open Every Time?
    I confirmed with my contact at Pace Edwards that the JackRabbit Tonneau Cover # 311-JRD7833 can be opened without a key as long as the lock is in the "unlocked" position. You will not need the key in order to open the cover every single time when installed on your 2021 Ram 3500 (6-1/2 foot bed without RamBox). As far as the profile of the Pace Edwards Ultragroove # 311-KRD7833, you are correct that it sits a bit higher than the JackRabbit. The Ultragroove sits about 1/2 an inch taller...
