Best Retractable Bed Cover?

I am wanting to install a retractable bed cover on my 2017 F350. Any recommendations on the best one?

Retrax Pro is what I have found to work the best.

I have a Roll-n-Lock. It works great for me and it keeps things dry and secure. I may be hallucinating, but I think it even helped the highway mpg's.

I have a Roll n Lock too. Both of my Super Duty's have had one. They are dry, lock up tight, and clear my 5er hitch.

‘I really like it, and it works very well.

Good luck with your decision.

Another vote for Roll-n-Lock. Mine is already here; just waiting (2 more days) for truck to arrive!! I had one on my 2 previous trucks.

I just started my research on bed covers

These guys have to be making a killing on this stuff.
$500 or more for vinyl? 1000-2000 for aluminum? huh

I think I'm just going to try to go without
Do the andersen ultimate hitch (easy removal)
And then storage bins for waterproof stuff. Not that worried about theft.

What's wrong with making a profit? I bet the company you work for makes a profit so they can pay your salary!


DIY if it's so easy to do, and save yourself some $$

Just surprised no one is undercutting. Seems like ~ 500-1000% markup.

Aftermarket can get ridiculous but man. Brakes and trannys are only like ~ 100% these days.

I got mine with the tracks too but went ahead and got the Yakima from Truck Covers USA. Looking forward to carrying bikes there with the wheels on and cover closed. In my F150 I removed the front wheels and had fork mounts on a board. Got tired of removing and reinstalling wheels when we camp.

Haven't put them on yet. How much are you leaving on when not wanting to use it? They say I can leave the feet and remove towers and bars. I kind of like the look with nothing but probably a pain to always unscrew the feet. Just curious what you are doing.
