AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage - only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on RU-vid are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!

Campfire question I drive a loud 6.0 turbo diesel like seamore after towing the trailer a long distance I like to let my truck idle while unhitching to let the turbo cool down & start the truck while I'm running slides / awning in to warm up before towing do others consider this to be rude at camp?

Hey guys! Did you guys like this solution for heavy eBikes? Did you like the cover itself or did it have issues? We're doing some research and looking ourselves since we won't be able to store them on the back either. Thanks.

Great video! This is probably the only video anywhere on RU-vid that answers all the right questions. 👍👍👍🤓

Dear Sean & Kristi, Great informational video Sean! It's like having a mini storage shed on the back of your truck! What a great idea! Txs... ~Joanna♡

@stanraines910 5 лет назад

We love our Retrax Pro MX on our Chevy 2500. We find that with three young kids, my wife and I, our truck has become our main family vehicle (not just when towing our Trailer). So keeping everything dry, and clean and still having room for a bunch of stuff is a plus. I opted for the electronic one with remote; my wife can access easily without swearing at me :). We have been very happy with it. For those interested, as I was, I reached out to Retrax and got word this morning. If you already have some other model of Retrax installed, the XR rails can be purchased and retrofitted to your current system.

@Marco-fi6gv 3 года назад

Good information , thanks!

@nahoku03 5 лет назад

Thank you so much! Your timely video helped us finally decide on what pick up cover to install. 👍 It's perfect for our needs and a worthwhile investment. Thanks again and happy and safe travels!

Yep, love ours! We carry a lot of things in our truck bed and have never gotten wet or stolen. I didn't know about the rack options! Thank you for that. Enjoy

Great review! Finally decided to purchase the RetraxPro MX after watching videos on various tonneau covers. Your video is one of the best on RU-vid in regards to covering this.... well cover. Thank you again for the review, keep you the great work!

@rockiedawnsimpler5102 3 года назад

We bought a Retrax for our Silverado 1500 when we retired in 2016 and we are full time on the road. This cover has operated flawlessly with no problems. Just a hint on maintenance keep the rollers and slid tracks clean and lubricated with a good silicone spray. Love our Retrax. Live your dream.

@wilkiepup1 5 лет назад

That is so cool. Really great product. I think it will be popular if you don’t have a fifth wheel. Great look. Much better than hanging bikes off the back. Our old fifth wheel came complete with dent from a sad solution for carrying bikes. And the extra storage box is a great accessory as well. As always a good thorough review.

@raymondschneider5217 5 лет назад

Very nice review and bed cover; especially, like that it's lockable (any position is a bonus). Thanks for sharing, Sean. Y'all Be Safe!

@TheWolfPackFam 4 года назад

Thanks for the great video! We just bought a Ford F-250 and are going to pick out a bed cover tomorrow. I am so glad I watched this before going. We will be getting the RetroPro XR.

@geebonzo 5 лет назад

Good point about Ebikes and standard racks. The weight rating is usually not enough. The 1Up USA is a nice hitch rack with a decent weight rating. I liked it, but as soon as I hooked up a trailer, the hitch was not available for the bike rack. I put a bike under a $300 Tonneau, but I travel down (live on) a dirt road. A lot of dust kicking around. It's a beautiful cover and a great piece of engineering. The price is eye-watering. Right now I have a small van for my RV, and I could buy a small utility trailer for that kind of money. There are folding ebikes, and some, like the Fat Folders (wide tires) are very capable. I didn't plan to watch more than the first 30 seconds of this video, but you had me hooked. People really have to work to keep things fairly simple, not leverage the stuff with more stuff. Stuff to the power of whatever...

@kantares5 5 лет назад

@aljones9114 5 лет назад

I really like your truck bed cover. I have looked at those before. The cover that I like and want is the diamond back truck cover. My wife and I ride 4 wheelers and these covers can hold 2 4 wheelers on top of the bed and we can still pull our camper. We love your videos. Thanks for your advise. Wife and I went to Maine back in May and hit a lot of the high points you and Christy talked about. We loved Jordan's restaurant with the blueberry pancakes. It was awesome. Hope y'all have a good week.

Great looking product. I’ve had the “Jack Rabbit” on My F150 for almost 6 years. Same basic design but is not totally waterproof. Water does get in. This looks like a better option.

@customwoodshiftknobs9322 5 лет назад

FYI, the non pro versions are more reasonably priced as well. These new ones with built in rails are very cool. Wish my old ones had this option (I have drilled towers on my bed rails in the past).

@cliffordb47 5 лет назад

Another fair and honest review thank you especially for including the price

@HalfStarFilms 4 года назад

How is it honest? It's basically a paid commercial.

@ridgetaylor60 5 лет назад

I just bought a 2018 F-150 and had a Retrax Powertrax installed. It’s my second Powertrax as I had one on my 2015 F-150. Great product. They said the warranty will be void if any lubricant is used on the track. Only paraffin was is allowed. So on my new Powertrax I took a rag and ran it across a block of paraffin wax and applied to the track on both sides. It really smoothed it out. My covers are not 100% waterproof. Heavy rain or Carwash will allow a bit of water but nothing to be concerned with.

@kingarthur1953 5 лет назад

I have been looking for months for a tonneau cover that spoke to me in terms of quality, security and versatility. This one looks like it fits the bill. Thanks so much for your channel, honest reviews and a tone that is not too serious but serious when it needs to be. I thoroughly enjoy your channel as well as trust your opinion. God bless you guys and roll safe.

@kingarthur1953 5 лет назад

I am one of the rare owners of a F-150 with an 8 foot bed. It’s a 2018. Can you put up a link for that bed option?

@bhenry58 5 лет назад

Another good option is Truck Cover USA. They have basically the same type cover but use Yakima rails. I think it's called the American Rack System. I've had mine for several months and love it. The Retrax wasn't out yet when I bought mine. Mine is outfitted with two regular bike racks.

@runnoft7212 5 лет назад

Great review! We have a Rolback on "Lewis" and I'm currently trying to figure out some crossbars for bikes also. Our bike rack almost tore the bumper off "Clarke" (our TT) on our Canada trip. Turns out that the rear bumper of a TT is an EXTREMELY harsh environment! Anyways, I'm hunting crossbars and going with some Yakima uprights to store the Townie and Trek nation.

@bradleysargent9803 5 лет назад

I like that update to their cover. I had the Retrax cover without the integrated rail. I ended up drilling holes in the cover through the bed of the truck to attach the Yakima crossbar feet to the truck. It worked well. I wish this version of the bed cover was around in 2014 when installed my set up!

@LongLongHoneymoon 5 лет назад

Yes, we have some friends who did the same to their Retrax a few months ago. I think this model will prove to be very popular.

@mairxph 5 лет назад

U can buy just the rails with the t-slots to retrofit. I just ordered and looking forward to installing it on my 2 year old retrax. Also...what model is the Thule cargo u have in the video?

@3pRanchTx 5 лет назад

Great choice Shawn! We tow a Toyota Tacoma behind our motorhome. I bought a ProdoTech folding e-bike two years ago, with the intention of storing it inside my truck bed. As you know, good e-bikes are expensive, so I wanted to be able to hide it from prying eyes while traveling. I then began searching for a quality locking bed cover. The RetraxPro was the most expensive on the market, but it seem to get the best reviews. I have been extremely happy with it after two years. Not only does it hide equipment from prying eyes, it protects it from the elements. I do get some light rain water leakage at the tailgate area, but the rest of the truck bed stays pretty dry. They didn’t have the model that you purchased available when I bought mine, looks like a great addition to their lineup!

@shouldibehere 5 лет назад

What size bed on the Tacoma? Does the Retrax take up much room when it's retracted? I have the five foot bed on my Tacoma and the Retrax is on my short list.

@3pRanchTx 5 лет назад

I wasn’t sure of the exact measurements, so I just went outside to measure. The Retrax drum that stores the retractable top takes up 11” of bed space. It is mounted to the bed rail below the rear window, but it does not touch the floor of the bed. It still leaves about 8” of space between the the floor of the bed and the bottom of the drum. I have the 6’ bed and it hasn’t hampered me yet. A 5’ bed may be a different story though if you need to haul long objects.

@3pRanchTx 5 лет назад

I forgot to mention, the Tacoma’s OE cleat tie downs and sliding bed rail system must be removed before the Retrax can be installed. That was the only negative thing I found with the Retrax. To be honest, I really don’t miss it, but I can see where it may be a deal breaker for others.

@Gr8LakesCamper 5 лет назад

That is a hell of nice setup.

@freedomdove 5 лет назад

@Oldmarine1952 5 лет назад

I'm in Reno, NV and I called the local dealer. He has been selling Retrax since they came out and said the ProXR is the best they make. I have a 2016 Silverado crew cab with 6'6" bed. They will install for just $100.00! Yes I am lazy, but if something goes wrong they are on the hook for correcting. I have the Chevy cover but always have hassled with the connectors and afraid of some twit with a knife. Thanks so much for the videos and stay warm!!

@jimross9429 4 года назад

Our ReTrax cover arrived and it took me about 2 hours to complete the install, it was on the expensive side but worth every penny. If you are thinking about getting one the install really is pretty easy just take your time and have someome to help you lift it over the bed after the rails are attached. Next on the list is Yakima cross bars and either a Thule or Yakima cargo box.

@LongLongHoneymoon 4 года назад

We have Yakima bars but went with a Thule box. Both have been great.

RU-vid puts Sean and Seemore right at the top of the list. Nice to see familiar faces on a topic I'm new to. I may do a little more research while I wait for the funds to magically appear in the bank for a Retrax MX One, but I'm probably going to trust your recommendation. Thanks, guys!

@jimross9429 5 лет назад

We just returned from a couple of weeks of camping. We have a popup camper so overnighting in a parking lot or rest area is not an option so we decided to set up and take down the camper every day getting to and from our destination, we won't be doing that again. We originally were going to book a room at hotels along the way but were concerned the truck would be an easy target for those with ill intent. We have a soft tonneau cover and it would be way too easy to get into and get to our generator, e-bikes and my cooler filled with adult beverages. We decided to go with the Retrax cover from your Amazon store it will be here Tuesday. Now I have one more question were did you find the crossbars and T mounts. Also thanks for all your entertaining and inspiring videos. P.S. My wife has scoured your Amazon store and still can't find your self respect for sale LOL.

@Thebluebimmer 5 лет назад

Nice! I considered this and the diamondback they run for the same price. I went with the db although im probably never going to use it to its full potential it can hold 1600lbs on the top of the cover

@bhenry58 5 лет назад

The only problem with the diamondback, and I had one on my older truck, is you can't access the bed with stuff on top of the cover. The only way to access the bed is thru the tailgate. A deal breaker for me when I upgraded my truck for camping and bike hauling

Sean. The drain tubes go into rubber grommets. No need to drill the need, just poke a hole in the grommets.

@mwrcrft 5 лет назад

That is a great cover for a jobbers truck who keeps containerized material that conforms to the size of the bed and stays under the height of the cover. I prefer my Access roll up cover because I never know what I will have in the back and sometimes I need my roll up to flex to cover things that would be to high and not be covered by a rigid cover.

@mikepuhac2531 4 года назад

I had a Silverado with the retrax tonneau cover. A very good cover. The problem I had with it was when I went through a car wash with my truck and a closed tonneau cover. One of the employees of the wash who was short had climbed up on the rear wheel and the side to dry the rear window. While he was drying it he knelt on it and broke the top between the slats. We did not know it was damaged until a couple days later when I found the the top was leaking. I had to purchase a new sliding top from the manufacturer. For this problem on my new trucks afterwards, I went with the Undercover Elite. Although it doesn't roll up, its completely waterproof and can take the weight of several people without damage. It can also be removed by two people and comes with wall hangers when you don't need it.

We have a 3500 Chevy dually with 6.0 gas so our miles per gallon is less than friendly so ANY thing we can do helps. Costly ? I have been told if ya want to play you must pay🤪🤪

@LongLongHoneymoon 5 лет назад

Thanks, I think anyone who owns one of these covers appreciates its quality. Ours is more than just a cover - it has enhanced the functionality of our truck. I understand that some people are grumbling about the price, but it's a premium quality product and is priced accordingly. In every product category there will always be a premium option, and this is it for tonneau covers. The company also offers less expensive models if people want to go that route.

@mayologuerrero9339 5 лет назад

exactly my thought, however, I think its worth the price - just picked one up today

@frequentthinker2385 5 лет назад

The Traveling McCaffertys Our front hitch is a DrawTite brand but I looked at the Curt hitch and it was virtually identical. The bike rack is a Saris brand. No problems at all with the hitch or rack. If I could do anything differently I might get one of the hitches that folds down. Mine is fixed once it is in the receiver. When Im not towing I will sometimes put the hitch in the rear receiver but I can’t put the tailgate down with the bikes and hitch on. They make a hitch that folds down for that purpose but that’s not what I have.

@MikeNaples 5 лет назад

Looks like a nice tonneau. Just curious how does one keep water, grit and dust from entering the bed through the tailgate gaps? I have a tonneau which seems tight and tried weather stripping on the gate which helped only a little. When it rains "sideways" (as Forest Gump would say) my truck bed becomes a shallow swimming pool.

@wanderdawg9486 3 года назад

Have the Pace Edwards remote controlled cover which is also metal and fits flush, but is automatic. About the same price.

Can you program the tonneau cover remote control to the universal garage control buttons on the driver side visor such that you can just use those? (for example on f-150)

We are full time Airstreamers and store our MTB externally. Unfortunately a lot of the hardware on the bikes are getting surface rust especially after spending a month along the Oregon coast..

Check out Boeshield T-9. We have this stuff in the liquid and spray varieties and it works well. We use it everywhere on our Airstream (door, keyholes, hitch, hinges, latches, etc.) but it is great on bikes too. Developed by Boeing to protect aircraft from rust. amzn.to/2CgzHR0

I also have weather covers on my vents so and if it rains it doesn't come in the trailer

Good video, but IMO I think the storage hub would be better on the other side for rear view vision.

We could easily switch it.... I was thinking that the quick access from the driver's side would be worth it. It's nice to be able to step outside and immediately have access to that gear. But if the visibility ends up being a problem, we will switch sides.

Also do you have any comment between this and the comparable roll n lock e series power retractable? How long does tihs one take up back to front

Sean, it's been 4 years since you installed the Retrax Pro XR, how is it holding up and are there any major issues with water leaking into the bed area when closed?

Can you provide the Yakima part numbers for the parts you've used. I cannot find your type of setup on their website. They have an Outpost and Overhaul system, but they are higher than your system. Thanks.
