Construction & Design

The RetraxPRO XR is crafted from rugged double-wall aluminum slats that combine lightweight strength with durability.

Engineering highlights include the CoreTrax™ sealed roller system, which ensures smooth retraction and extension while preventing dirt and debris from interfering with operation. The TraxLatch™ locking mechanism is ergonomically designed for ease of use and security, allowing the cover to lock at any position along its travel.

Additionally, the integrated T-slot rails running the full length of the cover enable effortless accessory mounting, making it a versatile platform for expanding your truck’s hauling capabilities without compromising bed access.
