The RetraxPRO XR offers the most security and the best protection for the items in your truck bed. This aluminum tonneau cover has a snow load of 500 lbs and can withstand impacts and inclement weather. You can secure this retractable cover at any point along the rails with an easy-to-use, locking handle, all to ensure that your gear stays safe and protected. And accessory T-slots are built into the rails so you can add a ladder rack or roof rack to carry cargo above your bed without interrupting the functioning of the cover.
This tonneau cover retracts quickly and easily for complete truck bed access. It does this by gliding along the side rails with sealed ball-bearing rollers, which also prevent the cover from binding or retracting unevenly. The RetraxPRO XR has no joints or hinges that can wear out, freeze, or trap dirt. It does not need to be lubricated and it has no springs that can fail. Unlike other truck bed covers on the market, you won't have to struggle with pull straps, hook-and-loop fasteners, or snaps every time you open and close the cover.
At the end of the cover, on the driver's side, there is a pop-up handle that makes it easy to slide the cover up and down the length of your truck bed with just one hand. The handle must be popped up for the tonneau to move, but you can push or pull the cover to guide it along the rails from either side of your truck.
When not in use, the cover rolls up into a space-saving storage canister at the bulkhead of your truck, so you'll never have to remove the tonneau to access your cargo. This canister has a unique spiral track system that keeps the cover from coming into contact with itself while it's retracted. This helps prevent wear and tear on the cover while you're opening and closing it.
With the cover fully retracted, the entire canister assembly only takes up a small portion of your truck bed. And the angled bottom of the canister gives you more space to slide long items or small gear underneath it.
When the RetraxPro XR is closed, potential thieves will find it nearly impossible to access the items in your truck bed. The locking handle is mounted flat and is concealed with a lid, keeping it well hidden from prying eyes. This flat, weather-guarded lid also keeps out dirt and debris to prevent internal corrosion in the keyhole, ensuring that the lock lasts longer and won't seize up.
To unlock the cover, lift the lid on the lock, insert and twist the key, and press the button to release the pop-up handle. Once the handle is up, you can slide the cover back.
You can latch the cover at any position along the rails by pushing the handle back down. This lock-in-place feature enables you to carry long items that overlap your tailgate while still covering cargo, such as a tackle box, that's stored closer to the bulkhead of the truck.
This cover is better at preventing cargo theft than soft covers, which can be cut open with a knife. It also cannot be pried up at the edges like some hard, folding covers. As a result, your cargo and truck bed are secure when this cover is closed and latched, as long as you lock your tailgate as well. Conveniently, the cover operates independent of the tailgate, so you can open and close the tailgate without touching the cover, and you can open and close the cover without disturbing the tailgate.
To keep snow, water, and dust out of your bed, the tonneau cover includes weather stripping and foam seals. An automotive-grade weather strip ensures a firm, dependable seal along the bulkhead of your truck. Attached to the bottom of each side rail is a foam seal that conforms to the shape of your bed rails. These seals help to prevent any scratches on your bed rails as well as fill any gaps to keep your cargo from getting wet or dirty. The cover also overlaps the top of the tailgate for additional protection against intrusive dirt and debris.
The RetraxPRO XR is constructed of heavy-duty aluminum slats that are 1" thick. They have excellent dent and impact resistance to keep the tonneau from getting damaged by falling debris or by thieves who attempt to break in by force. In addition, this cover can hold up to 500 lbs of snow or evenly distributed weight when it's rolled out. And on top of that, its durable matte black finish is weather and scratch resistant.
To prevent mildew from forming on the cover while it's rolled up, the RetraxPRO XR features a water management system that channels excess water out of the storage canister. Two drain tubes attach to the bottom of the canister to remove any water that gets inside. The tubes then route water through the existing drain holes in the floor of your truck bed, ensuring that the stored cover remains as dry as possible.
When rolled out, this tonneau sits nearly flush with the back of the canister to give a streamlined look. In addition to the flush-mounted locking handle, the sleek frame features a top panel that overlaps the bulkhead of the truck and storage canister, eliminating the gap in between.
The low-profile side rails mount just 1" above your truck bed, which offers a sleek look while still providing enough clearance for most 5th-wheel hitches to remain installed beneath the cover.
Integrated into the side rails of the RetraxPRO XR is a track system that you can use to mount your T-slot-compatible ladder rack or roof rack crossbars (sold separately). This way you can haul your bikes and other gear above your cover to free up your truck bed for additional cargo. This Trax Rail System does not interfere with the functionality of the retractable tonneau at all, so you'll still be able to use the cover while your racks are mounted.
To see if your specific Thule, Yakima, or Rhino Rack T-slot-compatible ladder rack or roof rack will work with this tonneau, please refer to the alternate instructions link at the bottom of this page.
To install the RetraxPRO XR, begin by attaching the side rails to the canister with the provided screws.
Because the cover comes preinstalled inside of the canister, it will take 2 people to lift the assembled unit and place it on your truck. Once the cover is in position, make sure that the side rails are square on your truck bed rails. Then secure them in place with the bolt-on clamps. Finally, install the drain tubes in the canister and route them through the factory holes in your truck bed.

Hi, Matt here with etrailer and today we're gonna be taking a look at the RetraxPro XR line of hard tonneau covers. You want to use our fit guide here in etrailer to make sure you're getting the right fit for your truck. Now this is gonna be a great option for you if you're looking for something that's gonna help keep the things in the back of your bed protected from the elements or if you wanna save one some extra gas and you want something that's gonna be custom fit. So let's check it out. So the tonneau cover we're gonna have today is gonna be retractable canister style. So what that means is it's just gonna roll up into itself and save you on a lot of space.
We're also gonna have an aluminum construction with a matte black finish to it. And what's nice about that aluminum construction is it's gonna be very durable and strong as compared to if you had any soft covers. If you had a soft covered tonneau cover, then someone could come by, just cut it open and access whatever you had in your bed. In our case today, this is gonna have the ability to lock so no one will be able to open up your tonneau cover. And if you have a locking tailgate like we do, then no one will be able to access any of it.
But let's open up so we can take a closer look at it. So to do that we're gonna have this box right here. This is gonna have a door on top of it. When you remove that door, you'll notice we have that lock core. That's what I was talking about earlier about this being able to lock.
And with it in the unlocked position, you can just press this button, it's gonna release your tonneau cover, and you'll have the ability to slide this back. Now in some cases, if you don't want to pull it all the way back, you just wanna pull it some, you would actually close this back down until it clicks into place and it'll lock it in this position. The reason why you might want that is you might have something that you want to access a lot. Something like if you had to tote right here, try to get some tools out of here, but you have other items in the back that you don't want getting wet or being out in the elements. And the way that this rolls is pretty smooth.
We're gonna have some ball bearings that go along this track on the inside that just slide right down until it goes all the way back to the canister. And what I also do like about this is we don't have any hinges or anything like that that can get gunked up over time or get damaged. So since this just rolls into place, you don't have to worry about a lot of extra things breaking. Continuing on with the rails, they're gonna sit up just about an inch on the back of our bed, which isn't bad at all. It's actually pretty low profile for how like robust and sturdy they are. And something that really sets it apart is that we're gonna have this T channel that runs through either the side of our rails. So what that T channel's gonna allow you to do is mount up any accessories or if you wanna put anything up like ladder racks or bed racks and you still want to use your tonneau cover, you're gonna have that ability and it's still gonna be compatible with a lot of our more popular brands on our website. You probably noticed when we're opening up our tonneau cover, we have this 5th wheel back here. That might be a concern of you if you have anything like that back here. And the total height that the 5th wheel we have today is gonna be a little bit less than 20 inches and we still have clearance to open up our tonneau cover. Now let's check out our canister. So like I was talking about earlier, what's nice about this is it doesn't take up a lot of room up behind our cab, so it's not blocking anything, but it is gonna take up a little bit of room in your bed. So we get some measurements. The first measurement I'm gonna get is gonna be the total length it adds, and that's gonna be about 13-1/2 inches in your bed. So the bed we have today is about 6-3/4 feet long. So you're gonna lose about a foot. Now the feature of the canister is it's gonna have a spiral design. So what that means is the way it rolls up into itself is it's not gonna making contact the entire time. So you don't have to worry about it rubbing against itself, making some wear and tear over time. And at the bottom we're gonna have some drain holes. You'll notice we'll have a tube that runs down. You're gonna have two of those in total. So the reason why we want to have drain tubes on our tonneau cover is because it's gonna prevent any water from pooling up inside and provide that water to run through so we don't have any rusting from occurring. Another thing that's gonna keep water out of here is gonna be our weather strips. We're gonna have one on the back of our canister so you don't have to worry about any water coming into your bed. Another area we're gonna have a weather strip is gonna be on our rails right underneath here, so you don't have to worry about water pooling up underneath them either. What's also really nice is this isn't gonna require any drilling for at least mounting it onto your vehicle. We're gonna be using these clamps. There's gonna be four in total, but it's just gonna grab on to these rails and your bed rails and secure it into place. But when you're ready to go, roll this out, just make sure it's unlocked and just pull it out. It shouldn't be very hard if you measured everything right and just make sure to lock it back up so it doesn't roll out on you. Overall, I think it's gonna be a great option for you if you are looking for something that's gonna be very secure where people won't be able to access underneath it and you're looking for something robust, sturdy, it's gonna have a clean finish to it too. And the fact that it's able to work with ladder racks and bed racks up to 500 pounds, it's gonna be great because you'll be able to load this up with a lot of items. If you are doing that, just make sure you check what your vehicle is capable of hauling. You can find that in your owner's manual. And your ladder racks and bed racks just make sure you know how much that can handle too. And that completes our look at the RetraxPro XR line of hard tonneau covers. Thanks for watching.

Install crossbars (sold separately) in the slotted rails of this heavy-duty cover to carry your bikes, kayaks, and more above your bed. Manually operate the cover with the pop-up, locking handle, which gives you the best security for your cargo.
The install was very easy but definitely a two man operation. The section that holds the rolled up cover is pretty large so you do lose some space. That section is also is fairly thin walled. I have dented and scratched it pretty good but it doesn't affect its function. I put one of those cargo load bars across the bed in front of it to try and stop that. I did have it "rack" a little after some rough drives which can cause it to bind a bit when rolling up. But it always closed on the second or third try. And its easy to straighten up again if needed. No water has gotten in the bed and it sure makes grocery getting a whole lot easier. I think its great.
The product quality is very good, and I anticipate many years of useful service. Regrettably, the assembly directions are somewhat superficial. Identifying hardware (i.e.: screw size, color, etc.) is particularly challenging as there is not an actual size comparison chart. Properly aligning the product was also very difficult, multiple attempts were required.
Shipping was fast. Everything arrived in tact.
The instructions for the cover were fairly easy to follow and it fit our 2023 Canyon Denali with a spray in bedliner perfectly.
So far I have about 10000 miles on this set up and the Retrax cover has been great, love being able to keep prying eyes off my gear and water infiltration has been minimal. This is the plastic version and seems to be holding up fine to the elements thus far…time will tell, there is a slight loss of cargo space with this unit installed but it hasn’t been an issue for me. I am very happy overall to this point.
Excellent shipping. No damage. Installation instructions were easy to follow. No complex tools needed. Lightweight product. Easy lifting and maneuvering into position.
etrailer had excellent communication and the cover came in sooner than expected. The Retrax cover was flawless and had excellent instructions for easy installation!
Looks very sharp and fits well on my 2022 Silverado 1500 5'8" bed, and the fits well with Rihno Rack heavy duty crossbars 65" long.
Fantastic cover. Perfect for my needs. Performs better than I imagined it would. Ability to access bed instantly with supplies... Yakima rack on/off in literally less than two minutes. Drive a black limited Tacoma. Perfect match for this truck. From sleek to bound for the trails in no time.
Works good overall. Opens, closes and locks very well. I get some water coming in on the sides , driving in the rain. Not pleased with the connections on the drain tubes. I have had to glue them in more than once, even during initial install. I did not like the fact that I had to drill those 1/2" holes in the bed for them as well.
E trailer is great. But when the cover arrived and I installed it the cover had a hole in it or a small flaw
I have seen this product on other trucks and liked it. It was fairly easy to install(some good videos on[line]) my son helped me, two people make it go faster and easier. Thanks for the good service and price.
Product very good. Drain plugs could fit better keeps popping out
Installation went well. Quality workman ship.
Still works great. Been outside in the elements for a year. Looks and functions great.
