THE BEST TRUCK BED TONNEAU COVER? RetraxPRO XR Series Review 🚲 🚲

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 YouTube 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!

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.

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.

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♡

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 review! Finally decided to purchase the RetraxPro MX after watching videos on various tonneau covers. Your video is one of the best on YouTube in regards to covering this.... well cover.

Thank you again for the review, keep you the great work!

[midge]

Thank you! I checked this exact tonneau out today at the local shop, and came home to get some more information. What is the 2nd video that pops up? You guessed it, my buddies from LoLoHo! So, now I have a review that I know I can trust! “Daisy” is getting an upgrade tomorrow! Thanks!

[megantaylor]

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

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.

nice review - just installed mine and it took me 3-hrs. I'm doing the same with a cargo carrier and bike rack. Overall, very impressed with the product.

[dougallen]

Looks just great Sean. Wish we would have gone that route. We purchased the classic fibreglass version, painted the same color as the truck.

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

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!!

I purchased this setup and love it. The cover is outstanding. The rack also works well. Thanks for the insights.

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!

[blitzegron]

That cover is sweet. Sooo much better than most. Good choice. What size fuel tank do you have? If it is the 23-26 gal tank do you find that it is a problem with frequent refuels or other?

[tonyanderson]

Love you guys! You two are such an inspiration to my wife and I! I wish nothing but the absolute best for you two!!

[munecito]

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

[wilkiepup]

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.

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.

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.
