Sometimes you need every inch of your bed space for hauling bulky items. With this cover, you can remove or reinstall it in about 10 minutes using just a wrench and screwdriver. The canister detaches from the rails and lifts out easily, so you can load up sheets of plywood, tools, or camping gear without the cover getting in the way. Once you’re done, it’s just as fast to put everything back on and secure your bed again.
Opening this cover is quick and effortless thanks to its built-in tension spring. Just squeeze the pinch grips under the rear plate and the heavy-duty spring automatically retracts the cover into its canister. It glides back smoothly without binding or jerking, so grabbing gear from the bed or switching back to closed mode takes only a few seconds.
The deck combines a vinyl top layer bonded to rigid aluminum panels, giving you the sleek look of a soft cover with the strength and security of a hard one. The ArmorTek surface resists water, debris, and sun damage while keeping its clean black finish. Foam seals under the rails and a large tailgate seal block out water and dust, protecting your cargo through rain or snow.
When open, the cover rolls into a canister that’s only 9-1/4" tall by 9-3/4" deep. Its angled shape protects the retracted panels while leaving more usable space in your bed for cargo. Drain tubes built into the canister route water through the bed floor, keeping things dry inside and preventing freezing in cold weather.
The side rails sit just 1/8" above the bed rails for a flush, streamlined appearance. This low profile helps reduce wind drag for better aerodynamics and a quieter ride. With the cover closed, it blends into the lines of your truck while securing your gear behind a locked tailgate.

2 things to make better.
A- stronger spring forecast the close.
B- more places in track for locking positions.
All in all a great cover. Strong and durabl.
Great product to use on my 2022 GMC Sierra AT4 2500HD that has a BW slide 5th wheel. With the cover retracted I can tow my 37 foot 5th wheel with no rurning clearance worries. When closed this is a good looking addition to my truck and keeps prying eyes off of what's in the bed.Installation was pretty easy, but instructions could use a little bit of work.
It looks great once I got it put on my truck! The only complaint I had is that the install instructions they sent with it to put it all together wasn't very clear on how to put it all together. I had to look up a video on YouTube to get better instructions to do so.
Unit was delivered in a safe and timely manner. After verifying all components were packaged I performed installation, which went smooth and was easy. Once unit was assembled on vehicle and a few minor adjustments it worked great and looks good. Thanks!
I love this tonneau cover, I’ve had this one in the past, I have it installed already and it looks and works beautifully!!
Over all it’s a pretty decent tonneau cover, it really flimsy and looks like it’s going to blow in when you go through the car wash. Install is really easy and it looks good. The down side is the front seal to the cab. Why they don’t give you a longer rubber to seal to the bed. When going through the car wash the front of the bed fills up with water due to the 1/4 gap between the cab seal and the bed. This is cause by the plastic side rails that are installed down the truck.
My solution was to go to HD and get a garage door seal and make it work. So far it seems to hold up good and seal. Not sure why the company can’t do the same. Surely th rubber seal doesn’t coast that much, especially as much as this cost.
Only negative would be the back brackets were very difficult to slide over the lip to get them in position. It required a bit of finesse with a hammer. Otherwise all good instructions, video helped greatly from the etrailer team.
The products instructions sucked & it was missing 1 part. It took much longer than 10 minutes to install as indicated. Plus I was expecting to see a video of installation on your website, but there wasn't any.
I know that it is not your problem but the installation instructions need to be better I learned more from a video on the cover than what the instructions told me .Maybe Pace Edwards should include a link on their instruction page
Finally got time to install my bed cover. Love it, much better than the old back flip that I had on my old truck.
My third Switchblade retractable hard cover . Happy with the look , function , and ability to secure items within the truck bed .
Abigail helped me find the correct tonneau cover that fits an 8 ft. Truck bed. Order came pretty quickly and my wife and I installed it in about 1 1/2 hours. The materials seem to be top notch and look amazing on my truck. Love the low profile.The cover slides back and forth with ease. Great fit! Great Product. Do watch the video's on the installation. Very helpful.
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.
Extremely easy to install. Although it says 1 person installation, having two makes it just quicker. Box arrived open (main cardboard flap) but all items were accounted for. Just recommend banding straps prior to shipping. Feels very sturdy and well secured to the bed with no holes. Drain plugs fit as OEM and were simple to install as part of the process. Hoping this cover stands the test of time. Highly recommend! etrailer.com was quick to ship and purchasing process was very smooth!
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.
I have just received my Pace Edwards Switchblade Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover. It was super easy to install. You guys at etrailer are awesome. Super fast delivery. This is where I’ll shop from now on.
Great service and fine product! Order was delivered in two packages and delivered on time, and all the parts were included (nothing left out as sometimes happens). Tonneau cover was easy to install both by following included directions or by using the demo video on the website. Item fit my 2026 RAM3500 DRW MEGA CAB like OEM and worked properly upon installation.
I have only one slight concern as you will see in provided pictures. To make the cover fully "water tight", you will need to add some type of seal or trim where the bed meets the bed rails, as the provided seal does not extend over this small, open area at the joint.
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 cover
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.
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!
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!
At this time it is a little harder to close and open.
I felt like I was taking a chance ordering and installing this having never heard of the brand before or the company. But it is at least as good as advertised and super easy to install, having watched your video. It took me about an hour to install and everything actually went together perfectly. I just put it on yesterday so I have no review of daily usage or long-term quality, but for right now I absolutely could not be happier.
Absolutely love this cover. Getting tons of compliments from everyone that sees it. I had one on my previous trucks for years, and it always worked great!
