Retractable Cover with Built-In Pull Strap
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.

Retractable tonneau for your vehicle has aluminum slats and a vinyl top layer that combine the strength and security of a hard cover and seamless look of a soft cover. It locks at any point along the rails, and it retracts easily with a handle.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.
The only thing I don't like is that it is hard to slide open sometimes. It is tight in the rails so pushing it from either of the sides it get stuck. Many times I have to walk back and forth from side to side to push on it so it will open. But it does it's job.
Great for our fifth wheel when towing
This cover works great. Like all covers its not as water tight as advertised. After a year it looks and functions like new. Mine is installed on a 2018 F250.
Product fits great and adds super prote ction!
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent quality, almost flush with top of bed for fifth wheel clearance. Definitely recommend 2-person instillation.
I have a couple of issues. It rattles while driving and it leaks water along the tailgate.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Fits great. Follow the instructions. Took about an hour to install although this is the second one I’ve owned.
Installation instructions need to be updated. They were unclear when installing the side rails to the cover and the side rails are not notched to allow installation of kickstand which caused me to have uninstall all parts and slide them on from the end of the side rails. If you have never installed a cover like this and are following the instructions, expect to back track a couple of times. Still waiting on a response for replacement roller guide part that came misassembled that is causing one side of the cover to retract further when fully open. I am sure once this part is replaced this product will function as intended. The quality of top is great for a soft top look with an aluminum support, I expected the aluminum support under the vinyl top to be thicker. Don't expect to sit or stand on this like some of the full aluminum retractable tops. Many of the roller parts that guide the top are plastic but the over quality is ok. I would not recommend this to someone that will be using it repeatedly during the day, but if it will get minimal use this product will be good.
Easy install, works great, but leaks water by tail gate
