Retrax

Anybody running a retrax cover on there 09 or 10. Just curious about the quality and reliability.
It's time to put something on the truck

I'm sure there's a few that might have them.

My brother just got a Rollbak retractable for his F150, just came today and we'll install it this weekend. If you want to consider a Rollbak, just email me and I'll hook you up with a great Rollbak/bakflip seller.

Thx
I am considering both but I think a rollback will serv my uses better.
I liked the look of the retrax but looks don't always hold up.

I have a retrax on my '05. I'm not the original owner, but the guy who bought the truck bought that around the same time. Here is is 5 years later, and it's held up pretty damn good. It doesn't leak, looks as if it were new, and everything works - including the lock. I'd recommend to anyone if they wanted to spend the money.

I've got one on my truck and had one on my 2003 before that. The hold up well and will clean up to a high gloss finish. In fact you can wax it just like your truck, which looks good if you have a black truck like I do.

Seems like a good product if being able to roll it up out of the way is what you are looking for. Don't believe the 10% fuel saving crap as I have not seen any improvement in MPG after adding my tonneau cover (another brand) nor do I know anyone who can honestly tell me they obtained better MPG by adding their cover...... Happy shopping.

Funny you say that. I find that on the highway - I get BETTER MPG's when I leave the bed OPEN with the tail gate up. It's been an average difference of 1.5 mpg's.
