I was really dissatisfied after about 1 year. I noticed a bit of discoloration underneath and it had started fading pretty bad. Keep in mind it’s a soft tri-fold cover. I passed on it when I ordered my RHO. I’d rather put that money towards a quality hard tri-fold.I was considering the trifold from factory. How does it compare to other popular aftermarket options around 1k? I'm also considering Lomax
Exactly why I skipped. Would rather get a bak flipI was really dissatisfied after about 1 year. I noticed a bit of discoloration underneath and it had started fading pretty bad.

I run the RetraxPro XR on my TRX, and have nothing but good things to say about it. With a Rambar, it doesn't sit fully flush towards the front (since it has to ride over the flange and bolts). But that would be an issue for any tonneau.I'm going to go with the Retrax One XR Tonneau Cover. I have no experience with it other than a friend of mine uses this cover and I like the way it operated. I also really want the T-slots for using rack accessories later down the road. I was also thinking about the Pro system which is aluminum and a bit sturdier but haven't made up my mine on it yet.
If anyone has used Retrax before on other trucks, would love to hear your thoughts.
Wow thanks I didn't realize it was a soft cover. That's a hard pass for me def will go aftermarket thenI was really dissatisfied after about 1 year.

No reason you couldn’t have t-slots with the Rambar (my tonneau has them, but I’ve never used them). There’s still plenty of available bed area to mount other rails or carriers or machine guns or whatever.I have really started digging the rambar, the revolver is starting to look like a really good option. The MX4 can't fully open with a rambar which is an issue. But I guess with the rambar you wouldn't want the t-slot option correct?
Rtrax is awesome, Super pricey but solid. I wish it suited my use case. I'll likely being going Softopper route with puppy hole for middle window so they can get some AC and feel included.I run the RetraxPro XR on my TRX, and have nothing but good things to say about it.

I am looking at this Bak revolver with T slot rails.. or the RetraxPro with T slot rails.Which Bed/Tonneau Cover are you considering for the RHO?
The new BAK Revolver with the T-Slot Rails is something I would consider:

I was looking at that too and didn't really give it too much thought initially because Retrax is where my head has been at. After taking another look, it definitely seems like a sweet cover and similar price to the RetraxPro even. After watching the videos and reading some reviews, it gave me a bit more to think about. Thanks for that one @bryan78jordanI was almost 100% RetraxPro MX (without T-slots), but now I'm really thinking the EGR Rolltrac manual cover. Looks to be a step up above the Retrax. We'll see.

All the install videos show that you have to cut into the end to properly install the drainage tubes and that kinda gives me the heebie jeebies! But the cover does look amazing and with a much smaller canister than the retrax!!! The power version looks pretty amazing too!!!!!I was looking at that too and didn't really give it too much thought initially because Retrax is where my head has been at.

You bet! The ReTrax looks to be better than whatever brand my dad has on his Ram, and the EGR looks to step it up a notch further.I was looking at that too and didn't really give it too much thought initially because Retrax is where my head has been at.

Agreed but I don’t loose much sleep over drilling holes like that anymore. When I installed my Amp Research steps on my brand new 2016 Ram and had to grind on the pinch seam for proper clearance for the steps, per the instructions, I figured what the hell after that. A little protective paint and it was good to go.All the install videos show that you have to cut into the end to properly install the drainage tubes and that kinda gives me the heebie jeebies!
