It’s tough to balance bed security with the need to carry extra gear, but the built-in T-slot channels on this cover make it easy. The RetraxPRO XR integrates accessory rails that accept T-slot-compatible racks from brands like Thule, Yakima, and Rhino-Rack, so you can mount bikes, kayaks, or even a roof basket above the bed. Because the rack system sits on the rails and doesn’t interfere with the retractable cover, you can still open and close it smoothly to reach gear underneath. It’s a smart setup that keeps your truck ready for work or weekends without losing bed space.
When you need to leave tools or gear in the bed, this solid aluminum cover keeps them safe from both thieves and the weather. The pop-up locking handle lets you secure the cover at any position along the rails or close it completely for maximum protection when paired with a locked tailgate. Weather stripping and foam seals line the edges to block out dust, snow, and rain, and the cover overlaps the tailgate to stop water from sneaking in. It’s a tight, reliable seal that keeps cargo dry in heavy weather while the lock stays protected under a flat lid that hides it from view.
Opening this cover doesn’t take force or fiddling with straps. The RetraxPRO XR slides easily on sealed ball-bearing rollers that don’t need lubrication and won’t bind or jam. There are no hinges, snaps, or Velcro to wear out, and the spiral track inside the canister keeps the aluminum slats from rubbing together when retracted. You can move it with one hand using the pop-up handle, and it locks in any position along the track so you can tuck away part of the bed or open it fully in seconds.
This cover is built from 1" thick aluminum slats that handle rough weather and heavy use. The matte black finish resists scratches and fading, and the structure supports up to 500 lbs of evenly distributed weight. It holds up through snow loads and driving rain without bending or warping. The canister includes a pair of drain tubes that route out any water that finds its way inside, keeping the cover dry and preventing mildew. The solid feel and low-profile look—just 1" above the bed rails—give your truck a clean, finished appearance that lasts for years.
Getting this cover on your truck doesn’t require drilling or special tools. The preassembled canister and rails clamp directly onto the bed rails using included hardware. Once aligned, you just secure the rails, attach the two drain tubes, and you’re done. The canister’s angled bottom leaves more usable bed space underneath, so even with the system installed you still have room for longer cargo or smaller gear below the housing. It’s a sturdy, low-profile setup that installs cleanly and works right away.

Short version, LOVE IT!!! This was a lot more money than I wanted to spend but it was well worth it. While not water tight it is close. Easy to install, easy to operate. Does not make noise even on washboard roads. The loss of space by having a canister has not impacted me. But I saved the best for last. My daughter wanted one for her truck so I ordered another one. It was damaged in shipment and the best customer service representative in the world, Kimberly O, helped me out by getting me a new replacement quickly. I highly recommend this Tonneau Cover. I also got T-Slots and use my Rhino crossbars with the cover. No problems, just like they were made for each other.
Showed up quickly, this is the 3rd purchase from etrailer.com, they have great customer service, they know their products, prices are reasonable and they ship fast. I also purchased the Curt Hitch from them.
Order was processed quickly and arrive in the specified shipping time. Easy two person install and fine tuning is an easy one person job. Great quality top and rugged. Perfect top for your pickup. Bed stays water tight so storing sleeping bags or luggage is no problem on long trips.
I had a solid tonneau before and liked it. Only problems with it were you could not drive with the cover up and it was a bear to remove even with the help of my wife. That truck was totaled by a drunk driver. So the replacement truck had to have an easier cover and wile I was at it, why not some racks as well?
It looks great! Fits perfectly and was a synch to install.
On the down side it is not completely dry and it did freeze up once in the winter. Other than that I do like it and gave it 4 stars
Thanks etrailer. Ordered the Yakima Overhaul ladder racks and the Retrax tonneau cover. It’s the perfect solution for our camping/kayaking trips. Both products are solid and top notch. Installation was a breeze on my 20 Tundra.
Really like this cover. Installation was fairly straightforward I was able to do the install myself but another person would have been helpful.
The Retrax Pro XR cover performs and looks like new after 1 year. Took 2 of us to install and adjust properly. Very minimal water leakage around tailgate sometimes which is expected. Read reviews of water leaks but must be due to improper installation/adjustment. Very satisfied and looks great. 2024 GMC 2500HD Denali
The Retrax Pro HR and Yakima Overhaul HD is a perfect combo and works well together.
We really like the bed cover. Wish it was more waterproof but still really nice.
I couldn’t be happier with this tonneau cover for my F450. It shipped well, arrived quickly, and was packaged securely with no damage at all. Everything was organized and protected right out of the box.
Installation was surprisingly easy — clear instructions and no headaches. I had it mounted in no time, and it fit my F450 perfectly. The alignment was spot-on and the clamps secured tightly without any modifications needed.
The cover looks great, feels durable, and gives the truck a clean, finished appearance while keeping the bed fully protected. It opens and closes smoothly and feels solid once locked down.
If you’re looking for a tonneau cover for your F450, this is a great choice. Fast shipping, easy install, and excellent quality — 5 stars all the way!
Love the rolling bed cover! No more lifting/folding heavy cover panels. Solid construction, easy to use, and relatively water tight. It is best to have a second person helping with the installation for lifting the assembled cover onto the bed of your truck without scratching the sides. Very easy to install.
Quality and fit and finish seem strong. Straightforward install.
Would be 5 stars if the cover could close while using the Toyota tie-down system. The locking components knock up against the OEM tie-down brackets and stop the tonneau cover from closing.
Secondly, the OEM Toyota tie-down brackets cannot be used in the accessory T-slots as the OEM brackets have a larger T and cannot slide into the RetraxPRO accessory T-slots.
So,. I've paid for two different tie down systems , Toyota and Retrax and still don't have a solution. At my age I should have known better and done more research.
Replaced my "soft" tonneau cover that was tearing, fading, and falling apart after 10 years of faithful service. Bought this tonneau cover because of the retractable operation and the aluminum construction. While it is obviously built tougher and the operation is smooth, it does have its downfalls (which I didn't think of too much at the time). One being the space that is lost in the front where all that retraction goes, I guess there is around 8 inches of height at the very front. Additionally, where it lays is slightly lower than the bed rails which takes away at least around an inch of height compared to my previous cover. This makes a big difference when getting tall containers and the like to fit. I do enjoy the elevated level of security the new tonneau cover offers, even though I had zero problems with the previous cover.
Easy to order and find the correct fit. This is my third cover from this brand and my first with aluminum slats instead of polycarbonate due to a different truck size. Installation took about two hours from start to cleanup, and I needed a couple of neighbors to help lift it since the aluminum version is heavier. My previous polycarbonate covers didn’t leak and worked well, but they became slightly wavy over time. I expect the aluminum version to hold up better.
Installation note for 2026 Ram 3500 Dually: when positioning the clamps at each set of plastic allen screws had to adjust front and back clamps The front clamp near the cab bolts were a bit short due to the wider gap between bed and tonneau rail, so I removed the top back piece of the clamp to secure it properly. The lower supports did not fully reach the side walls, and the rear clamp near the tailgate required removing the lower support bolt to clear the cargo light. The middle clamps fit as intended with no adjustments. Something for the manufacture to consider as new trucks come out with different accessories.
Overall, I’ve been very happy with this brand over the years and am satisfied with this purchase.
Was relatively simple to install and works as advertised. Not my first of these covers so I am a return customer and also new what to expect with installation. The PDF instructions are good, but not quite Lego or IKEA level. I haven't installed the Yakima HD Overhaul System yet, but do not expect any issues.
I installed the RetraxPro XR tonneau cover myself and it wasn't bad at all. I had to do a lot of adjusting to get it perfectly straight and even. The hardest part was having my wife help me lift the cover in the truck after it was assembled. I wish they would include some kind of a reducer to be able to fit the drain hoses into the smaller holes in the bed of the truck so no drilling would have to be made. Other than that, great bed cover and can't wait to add T-slot accessories.
Terri from etrailer was most helpful with helping me select a Tonneau cover and rack for my vehicle that I could get within a specific time frame. I did not realize a kit to mount the rack to the tonneau cover was required until later that day. I emailed and called Terri panicking because the kit was showing out of stock until the end of October and we were moving in September. When I spoke to Terri she had realized that I needed the kit and somehow was able to procure one. The rack and adaptor kit arrived 2 or 3 days later. The Tonneau cover is shipping directly from the factory and has not yet been received to review. I highly recommend Terri and etrailer and would definitely purchase from them again. Matt M.
I have a local dealer I normally buy my truck accessories from. For the RetraxPro XR they quoted me $800.00 more than I could get from etrailer. Drawback was I had to install it myself. I liked the fact that I didn't have to drill any holes into my truck's bedrails so I decided to put it on myself. I followed the instructions and adjusted everything the way I was told. 45 mins later, it was installed by myself and haven't had to re-adjust since. I always have people ask me about it. It looks great, operates easily, doesn't freeze up in the winter months, locks in any position and is a great addition to my truck accessories. Purchasing it from etrailer was simple, saved me a lot of money and arrived with no damage. I now look to etrailer for my truck and RV accessories. I've had to contact them in the past for different items and the support is wonderful. Thanks etrailer...

Still fitting like a glove. Chips in the powdercoating at the lead edge. wish I had known about that potential cosmetic issue, I would have installed protective masking over it. Everything in the bed still staying dry and secured.
Retrax Pro XR with Rhino Rack Cross Bar set for the XR
This has greatly simplified my bicycle transport. Before I was using separate ladder rack on back of trailer, and hitch rack on truck. Compared with my prior setup, here are the improvements:
-- removes ~75 lbs from back of my trailer
-- not dealing with separate truck and camper bike racks (esp hitch rack taking up bed room while towing)
-- don't have to unload bikes to check something on camper roof
-- bikes are easier to load (even with lifting)
-- cross bars detach in seconds and lift off for full bed access or car wash (the cross bar and bike rack assembly stores on hook in garage)
-- Don't have to remove and store bike seats (they extended well past right side of trailer when on ladder rack)
-- Bikes are more protected above tonneau cover than either on hitch rack or ladder rack.
Great fit. I had on on my old F150 and like the fit even more on my new Ram 2500.
