Retractable Tonneau

[Rousseb90]

Anybody install a retractable tonneau on their RR yet? I read about fitment issues with the Retrax covers. Ford sells a rebranded retrax, I wonder if the same issues exist. I’m strictly looking for a retractable cover with the T slots on the rails.

That's the one I've got.

Has Retrax resolved those issues?

I haven't had time to contact them so, no.

I got the Bak Revolver X4TS has the t-slots. Its a rollup hardcover.

I'm looking at the same cover, is your Ranger a Raptor model? If so, could you post a picture after yours is installed?

 

[Supernaut]

Yes it's a Raptor. There is a video of someone installing the X4S which is the same cover without the T-Slots on Youtube: Here is a picture of the X4TS installed on my truck.

Thinking of getting the same x4ts. How do you like it? How's it do at keeping water out?

Mine is Pace Edwards with fob. Installed by Trident Motorsports in Austin.

I ordered the X4tS Thursday afternoon, after someone mentioned the Realtruck site prices increased to $1,630, but the same from their Realtruck site on amazon was $1,430. Shipped late Thursday and already out to my local UPS carrier for delivery.
Still expensive, roll-up not retractable, but I saw one without the slots at the custom shop and liked it. Was not confident in having the retractable in cold winter climate, but it may work well for others.
Will wait to order the actual rack system

Update BAK X4tS delivered, ordered Thurs afternoon. Will try to install in the next couple days and then see what rack accessories I might need to carry my windsurf board and mast or my stand-up paddleboard.

So far so good. No complaints. It does let a little water in around the tailgate. Could probably add in some sort of weather seal. But it's not a lot and it doesn't seem to be an issue as the water doesn't flood the bed it sticks to the tailgate area and drains out.

So far so good.

I installed my X4tS last night. Took me around 1 hour. I like that the tracked version does not have the little plastic end piece fillers at the tailgate that the X4S install video showed where the plastic clips were broken on delivery.
Drove in the rain for coffee this morning and only water intrusion was a little bit of dripping inside the tailgate at one point on driver's side. May loosen bolts and adjust so the rear seal makes better contact there. Instructions were pretty good, except said it required a T40 but the bolt was actually T30.
The straps are a little flimsy and I don't like that it does not snug-up closer to the back window, as the X4S install video in this thread mentioned. Planning to get bolts to thread into bolt holes closer to the cab to attach the straps.

I used my ford rewards points to get the retractable one off their website and had it installed at the dealer.

That is exactly what I’m looking to do eventually. How difficult do you estimate it to be to remove?
