Can 2017 F-350 RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover Rails Be Switched to XR Rails
Question:
Looking to change my rails on my retrax pro mx cover to the xr version with the T slots. This is for a 2017 F350 with 8foot bed. Do you have just the xr rails or do I have to buy a whole new cover?

Thanks for reaching out, James!
We can definitely get your RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover # RT80384 switched over to the XR rails - all you need are the Replacement Side Rails # RTX66QR and you'll be good to go! No need to swap out the entire tonneau cover.
If you're planning on using the XR rails for a ladder rack then I highly recommend checking out the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Tonneau Cover Adapters # Y01151-5855. This is hands-down my favorite ladder rack because of how easy it is to install, how sleek it looks, and the amount of adjustability and customization Yakima has built into this system.
I've attached a video of the ladder rack on a retractable cover for you to check out!
