When you’re hauling different loads every week, you need a cover that adapts. The Switchblade’s retractable aluminum and vinyl deck rolls smoothly into a compact canister at the bulkhead, giving you full bed access when you need it. Just squeeze the pinch grips at the tailgate and the tension spring automatically retracts the cover—no wrestling or folding panels. A built-in pull strap helps you close it back up in seconds, and when it’s open, nothing blocks your rear window.
This cover is built for people who actually use their trucks. It installs or removes in about 10 minutes using only a wrench and screwdriver—no drilling required. The frame rails clamp inside the bed rails for a clean fit, and kickstand supports at the tailgate end help level everything out during setup. When you need to haul something oversized, just unbolt the canister, release the clamps, and lift it off as one piece.
The deck combines a black vinyl top layer bonded to heavy-duty aluminum slats for the strength of a hard cover with the smooth look of a soft one. A large seal at the rear closes the gap to the tailgate to help block dust and water. With the tailgate locked, your gear stays secure underneath—both the pull strap and pinch grips are tucked away under the rear plate where they can’t be reached from outside.
Rain or wash water drains through a built-in channel system that directs runoff into the canister and out through drain tubes in the bed floor. That setup keeps water from collecting or freezing inside the rails, so operation stays smooth in any season. The weather-resistant materials and foam seals under the rails and canister add another layer of protection to keep your cargo dry.
Sitting just 1/8" above the bed rails, the Switchblade blends in cleanly without bulky edges or gaps. The flush profile gives it an aerodynamic shape that helps reduce wind drag when closed. At only 49 lbs overall weight, it’s easy to handle but still heavy-duty enough for everyday use.

Hey Radford. That doesn't sound good at all. I recently talked to someone else who had a similar issue with their Switchblade. It sounds like the issue may be due to the cover needing to be shimmed in, as outlined in Step 4 of the installation instructions. This should help keep it secure in the track near the cab. Let me know if that helps, if you doesn't, let me know!

Thank you for the information! I just want to make sure that you put the longer clamps in the front while the shorter ones are by the tail gate. To see this part of the installation you can visit the attached video at the 7:20 mark.

It is good. The retract spring is a little weak, but otherwise happy. But etrailer had to send a replacement due to shipping damage

Glad to hear the install was easy and everything is opening and closing smoothly! It’s always a plus when you can get the job done by yourself. How has it been holding up since the installation?
