Retractable Cover Recommendation for a 2022 Ford F-250 with a 5th-Wheel Hitch

Question:

Looking for recommendations. Expect to take delivery of a 2022 F250 Crew Cab short bed this week. I have a 5th-wheel hitch and would appreciate your thoughts on which retractable tonneau cover to purchase. I would like to minimize any potential conflicts with the covers rails etc. Thanks for your input.

While we have a great retractable option for you, we do not have the exact bed specs of your 2022 Ford F-250 and the height of the hitch you have. Although, there is a way to definitely determine the fit of a tonneau with your hitch.

For an amazing option that will give you a lot of features on your new truck, I recommend the PowertraxONE MX Hard Tonneau Cover # RT70383. Not only is this 100% powered by a remote key fob, it also comes with superior protection from water than other brands/models. Also, since you can open the cover at any point along the rails, you can elect to have the cover partially open with the hitch installed if desired.

Since the PowertraxONE MX sits 1" above the truck bed, this provides a baseline for your measurements. To make sure the cover can open/close with your hitch, I recommend installing the hitch and measuring the height of the highest point of the hitch. From this measurement, you can compare it to a 1" height above your truck's bed caps. As long as the hitch does not extend further than this point, you are good to go!

I went ahead and attached a video that shows the # RT70383 in action.
