Opening or closing a heavy tonneau cover can be a hassle when your hands are full. The UltraGroove’s electric retractable system fixes that with remote control operation. Two key fobs let you open or close the cover with the push of a button, and an electro-magnetic brake locks it anywhere along the rails for partial or full bed access. The motor wires directly to the vehicle battery, and a manual release lever on the canister lets you keep using it even if power is lost.
Hauling ladders, bikes, or kayaks doesn’t mean losing bed security. The built-in T-slot rails let you mount compatible racks and accessories right above the cover. Because the slots run the full length of the side rails, you can position racks to fit different-size gear without blocking how the cover opens or closes. The slotted rails have curved sides and endcaps for a clean, low-profile look that blends with the truck’s lines.
Keeping tools and gear dry is easy with the UltraGroove’s water management system. Interlocking aluminum panels are joined by silicon weather hinges that seal out dust and rain. Each side rail has interior and exterior rubber seals plus endcaps that overlap the tailgate, keeping runoff from sneaking in at the corners. Drain tubes at both the canister and rail ends channel water out through factory drain holes, so even during heavy rain or car washes your bed stays protected.
Some retractable covers eat up space at the front of the bed, but this one uses an angled canister just 12 inches tall by 10-1/4 inches deep. That shape protects the retracted cover and frees up more usable room underneath for gear or toolboxes. Because it sits low in front of the bed, rear window visibility stays clear when the cover is open.
The cover’s heavy-duty aluminum panels sit only about 1 inch above the bed rails for a flush, aerodynamic profile that cuts wind drag and helps fuel economy. A black powder-coated matte finish resists corrosion and UV damage while giving the bed a clean, factory look that stays sharp over time.
Ratings & Reviews
Excellent quality. Great service and fast delivery
Had this for about a year and its doing well. Pretty good keeping the water out. I would buy it again.
Fast shipping and delivery
I have enjoyed the cover but the powder coating has come off of one of the aluminum rails and I never recieved the correct end cap for one of the rails
I have tried them all.
Trifolds....accordians...to full on toppers.
I will not be looking anymore. It provides the security that I need and the convenience with the electric rolltop.
Still looks mint a year later.
Installed wiring for cover (power and switch) first and then installed the cover .
etrailers videos were great
Solid cover and easy to install.
Great communication and shipping
This product exceeded my expectation! I installed it on a 2019 F450 limited and the only modifications required to the truck was to drill (2) 5/8” holes in the bed plug covers (4L3Z-99277B76-AA) to allow the drain tubes to exit the bed of the truck. The rail mounts did require me to remove (drill out) all the shims to get the required width for the cover. Thanks to both etrailer and Pace-Edwards customer support for answering questions about removing the shims.
The online instructions I downloaded from etrailer did not contain the correct installation widths for this Item, however the instructions shipped from Pace-Edwards were spot on.
Imstalled to exact specifications,and the slide drags midway throthe cycle. Measurements are exact from front to back. I used the lubrication before first operation as well. Considering using a light, low temp grease to see if it will loosen up...
Not very impressed.
The Pace-Edwards tonneau cover works very well. I sprayed lithium grease in the track and it worked great. It was a challenge to install by myself but it turned out nice.
The Pace Edward’s UltraGroove retractable hard Tonneau cover works well. Really liked the installation video.
Easy to install, secure when closed and tailgate is locked, looks great. Very convenient, push a button and it opens, push it again and it closes. It can be stopped in any position which is great for a fifth wheel
I just got it installed and it works perfectly, I can’t believe I have gone this long without it!
Very easy to install,v just make sure you have a partner to help pick it up and get it into the bed. aside from that it took no time at all to wire it up and start using it. Looks great and very sturdy.
Works great, installation instructions not great but the video on the website was amazing and was in great detail. The key fobs are little bigger then I like but the system it self is great and works well
I installed the pace Edwards powered ultra groove cover on an 2024 2500HD truck. The cover has been on for about a year. Overall the cover is very nice and I like the ability of being able to have the top partially open. I also have used it with my Yakima overhaul truck rack to haul kayaks and bikes. Putting the rack onto the ultragrroove was very easy and works excellent. It’s so nice having a powered cover with the rack onto! It’s very nice to not need to reach over the side rails to open/close. I have the Bluetooth option and that works very well and that is my primary choice of operation.
The cover was pretty easy to install and the videos were helpful. if you have an electric lift tailgate make sure to keep the overlap of the cover on the tailgate to a minimum or the power tailgate may not self close if the cover seal interacts too heavily with tailgate top
A few things that I found;As the manufacturer states it’s not water proof and I get a little water in from around the cover seals and the canister box. But the majority of the water seems to come in from all the openings in the bed and gaps on the tailgate. In the sun the black cover absorbs a LOT of heat and the temperature in the bed get quite high. Be aware of this on a sunny day with anny temperature sensitive items or coolers placed in the bed. Be careful touching the black slats on an hot sunny day they are hot. The cover motor significantly slows down when closing and sounds like it may not be able to close but it does get there. Although the motor sounds week when closing, it is not and if you get any body part caught between the cover closing and the tailgate you will suffer some pain. I found this out when leaning over the tailgate to try and grab something out of the bed with the remote in my pocket. I leaned on the close button and got my arm pinched between the tailgate and the closing cover. I had some serious bruises. From what I have experienced there is nothing to reverse the motor if it becomes jammed or pinches something like an arm. Seems the motor current gets maxed out and the motor stops and the cover is locked there. I would prefer if there was some sort of safety here as I worry whenever my grand kids are helping me load something. Best advice is not to have the fob in someone’s pocket where it could unexpectedly get triggered.
One thing that has been a problem is the drains on the bottom of the canister box. These are used to drain water from the box. The drains are plastic fittings that twist and lock in the bottom of the box and have a semi ridged drain hose that goes to a hole in the bed. The issue is that any time you put a 2x4, a piece of plywood, or anything that fits under the canister box, it hits the tube or nipple and snaps it off.
I repaired and replaced these several times. I have now replaced them with a 90 degree barbed elbow on the bottom of the box and used a more flexible vinyl hose. Now the hose is much tighter to the box and tube is not getting hit every time something is put in the bed.
