My local truck shop is pushing me to the gator cover when I asked for retrax he said they're both exactly the same quality but he likes the gator better. Anybody have any experience with the gator rolll up cover ?
Thanks

Bringing this back to life...
I'm ready to order Retrax Pro MX. Searched several vendors online and all are selling for about $1900 for the 8' bed. Anybody have insight to any discounts or sales going on? Thanks.

Check tonneaucovered.com and see what deals they can get you. I called around and checked every price online and they were the cheapest. When you call and get a human being online they are pretty willing to find that extra $100 off that I couldn't find myself.

Mine is being installed as we speak on an 8' bed. $1700 with $100 to install. Local accessory shop is doing the work, they price matched the lowest they found online.

The Retrax Part# is 80384 for the Ford/8ft box btw.
Also, the "MX" just stands for Matt Black finish, you can get Gloss also (no MX in model#). Same price as well. I went with the MX as I felt the Gloss as too hard to keep up. (looks pretty darn sharp detailed up however!)
Good Luck

I know this is going to be a silly question, but I have to do my due diligence and ask before I plop down the cash.
I've contacted a couple of online vendors and they say they don't carry a Retrax Pro MX for the F450. But they do for the F350 and F250...what?
Now..the bed rail dimensions are exactly the same...right? In my mind, I should have no problem ordering a cover for either a F350 or even an F250.
On Edit: i called Retrax directly and confirmed the cover for the 250/350/450 are all the same.

Thanks to all. I ended up ordering from CARiD. 10% discount, free shipping, live chat support.
The discount was for being retired military/veteran. Just had to email the chat representative a photo of my ID. I may have been able to get cheaper elsewhere, but I love supporting businesses that recognize and openly support all our armed services.
Truck built yesterday, accessories getting ordered today...it's been a great week!

Hi : Retrax is listed on the restricted manufacturers list that does not offer the 10% discount. https://www.carid.com/manufacturer-restrictions.html Are you sure you got the additional discount?
Perhaps the actual discount code they used was for something else?

No idea that list existed. I was on live chat with their rep, confirmed the product, asked about the military discount, emailed them a copy of ID, they sent me a link to an invoice with the discount applied. ???

Add a fairly strong friend when installing it, it's kinda heavy and awkward. I wish I had installed mine before "Brutus" got his much larger wheels and tires, it was quite the reach sitting at least 2.5" taller than the stock F450. That cover is the bomb, wish I had one on my 2008!
