Can the Retrax Covers for a 2024 Chevy Colorado Be Opened From the Inside w/out a Key?

Question:
Can these Retrax covers be opened from the underside without a key? I would like to be able to open and lock using just the truck fob remote for the tailgate only?

Expert Reply:
No, they can't. You'll either need to use the key fob to open the PowertraxONE MX item # RTX94TR or the push button on the top to open the RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover item # RTX74TR. The other Retrax covers available for your truck have the same locking features.
Both of these covers are confirmed to fit a 2024 Chevy Colorado with a 5' bed.

Hey, did you end up choosing between the PowertraxONE MX and the RetraxONE XR cover for your Colorado? I'm curious how the locking and opening features worked out for you. Your feedback could help others comparing these two covers.
