Hey Kevin! The PowertraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover # RT90232 actually doesn't have a manual release. Without power there won't be a good way to open the cover. If it were me I would want to have that option just in case.
The Pace Edwards Bedlocker Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # 311-BLD7833 does have a manual release lever on the canister making it a better choice. It is also available in matte black # 311-M-BLD7833 and with T-slot rails # 311-BED7833.
Does your 2026 Ram 2500 have the 6-1/2' bed without the RamBox? All of these covers are designed to fit that configuration. If you have a different bed length, or have the RamBox, let me know and I can see what else is available.

Thank you for the info. I was mistaken believing they all had manual releases and already had it installed. I just thought I couldn’t find the manual release. I’ll hope mine doesn’t ever need it.
