When you need to haul something tall or oversized, you don’t have to fight with a permanent tonneau. The Switchblade can be completely removed or reinstalled in about 10 minutes using just a wrench and screwdriver. The canister unbolts from the side rails, and the whole unit lifts out as one piece. Once the big job’s done, you can pop it back on just as fast to keep your bed protected again.

Getting to your gear is simple. Just squeeze the pinch grips under the rear plate and the heavy-duty tension spring automatically retracts the cover into the canister. The built-in pull strap lets you close it in one motion, gliding smoothly along the side rails until it locks at the tailgate. The spring assist takes the effort out of opening the cover, making it faster and cleaner than manual retractables.

The deck combines the strength of rigid aluminum panels with a black vinyl top layer bonded over them. That gives you the seamless look of a soft cover with the toughness of a hard one. A large rear seal blocks out water and debris, while the foam seal under the rails and canister helps keep the bed dry. It’s a solid barrier against weather and theft when paired with a locked tailgate.


The canister sits up front with a compact, angled shape that leaves more usable space in the bed and doesn’t block your rear window. The low-profile rails sit just 1/8" above the bed for a flush, finished look that blends in with the truck’s lines. The aerodynamic design helps cut wind drag and can even improve gas mileage when the cover is closed.


Rainwater channels through the side rails into the canister instead of pooling on top. From there, drain tubes route it out through the factory holes in the bed floor. This system keeps your cargo dry and prevents water from freezing inside the rails in cold weather, so the cover always rolls smoothly no matter the season.

Looks good. Easy install. Can be done by one person. Opens and closes smoothly.3616872
Thank you eTrailer for your install videos. They are so much better to follow than the instructions that come with the cover. It took me about an hour to install if not a bit longer due to the rain. I installed on my own, which the install woukd be faster if you have someone helping you. The only thing I had an issue with was the weather strip but it was also due to the surface being wet and hard to dry.3485547
It is installed and was fairly straight forward. Despite others indicating there were no instructions, mine included somewhat clear instructions (could be better). If I had understood that staples through vinyl into aluminum was the core of the design - or a plastic bin was the container, I would certainly have kept looking for something with a more robust design. I expect a couple/three years before replacing, but it solves my immediate need. In this case, ability to see the gooseneck ball from the center high-mount camera that was blocked with the tri-fold cover. Like others have shared, don't expect a dry bed! The omission of a seal from the rear of the rails to the tailgate is confusing - as is the lack of seal length on the head rail to from a seal up front. I'll figure something out for both eventually, but a little underwhelming for the would-be low cost to address in design.3575525
Overall for the price I’m not satisfied. I followed the manufacturers instructions and it worked smoothly for about a month and then the tracks started getting rougher and rougher. It will open about half way and then you need to get in and push it from side to side for it to fully retract. I also had the cover fall down off the track in the center and it was a huge pain to get it back in the track by myself with cargo inside the bed. You are better off spending an extra $100-200 and going with the “real truck” roll up bed cover.3613367
Easy to install. No drilling needed. Fits great. Very happy3632720
Excellent product very easy to install fits my F350 perfectly
E Trailer has great customer service I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a retractable tonneau cover3214501
Very easy one man install. Looks amazing. very flush with bed rails. will slide over 5th Wheel hitch. gives enough room under Canister to put 36 gallon fuel tank.3550716
The bed cover is amazing! I have a low bed rack that doesn’t work with a folding cover, so this retractable cover was the perfect choice. Now I can leave the rack in place and access the bed. Installation was pretty easy, a little confusing just from the directions, but it probably would have been easier if I watched a video. The clamps weren’t intuitive, but made sense once they were in and feel super secure. I’ve only had it in for a few days, but just took the truck camping for a long weekend and used the cover a bunch. I can’t speak to the longevity yet, but so far, so good!3305967
Love the sleekness of the cover. I removed a bak revolver and replaced it with this one. Much easier to hook up the 5th wheel without the giant roll of cover behind the cab. Super easy to open and close. The only issue I had was the front mounting hardware did not fit for some reason. They would not loop together due to the Engel of the truck bed. Not a big deal as I made it work just fine.pretty easy install as I did the entire thing alone as a 58 year old man with a wrecked back!3371124

Great products at great prices 3255593
Installation was simple. Although the canister supports seemed very flimsy. Cover worked well for the first few months at some point it became more difficult to retract the cover all the way into the canister. Now at one year the spring seems to have lost all its tension. Tried to contact P/E to find out if there was a way to fix it. No response yet.3236187
Overall this is a nice cover. The installation instructions could be much better, but I am happy with my purchase.1480447
Came damaged 3626176
Great fit for an eight foot bed. The Pace Edwards switchblade retractable bed cover was easy to install and adjust. This cover allows you to store items in your bed and still retract without blocking your rear window or folding in on your stuff in the bed. Very low profile cover.3151367
Very nice cover and easy installation. 3491353
Packaged well, it comes as a complete package, sales person was very knowledgeable and took the time to go over several different styles les until I was able to decide on the stitckback. It will be installed on a 2024 Denali Ultimate, it will be so nice to keep our stuff dry and secure. etrailer was awesome to deal with. My product came in 2 boxes delivered to my door.3482192
This is my second Pace Edwards and I love it.3500731
It keeps items in the bedroom covered but NOT DRY . It is NOT worth the $1200 . Seriously thinking about going back to my tri fold cover3609814
I'm very satisfied with the product. I previously had a flip top style tonneau cover on an older truck which blocked my rearview mirror when fully up. Not a problem with this unit. The majority of the full length bed is still usable. The unit only hangs down about 8 to 10 inches or so into the bed. I had no problem installing it on my own. The fit was perfect. Overall a good experience. The only thing I would have liked to have seen was a third brace in the middle for the side panels, just to provide extra support in case someone sits down on the bed rail and puts more wait on the side panel than the bed. That said, it does feel pretty solid and looks great.3622847
