Bed covers: Hard or Roll away?
Just got a new Harley F150 (Gun Grey), and I want to put a tonneau on it. I like the look of the color keyed hard tonneaus, but I think it would still look nice to have one of the electric roll away tonneau covers from Pace Edwards (I haven't seen any other manufacturers).

The electric roll aways are black anodized aluminum and are activiated by remote, have a light. . . etc.
I am new to the truck world and I was wondering what the general census on this was.

Other rolltop manufacturers (non-electric):
Roll-N-Lock
Retrax
I am kind of biased towards Retrax - I have had one on each of my trucks.
Be happy to answer any questions you have.

I had my first Retrax about a year and a half with no fading at all. This one has been on since May. They do not currently offer an electric model, nor have I heard anything about any plans for them to offer one. The primary difference in the Retrax and the other two is that the Retrax doesn't have a fabric top like the PE and the RnL - which requires conditioning/cleaning to keep it looking good. Even then, there may be some concerns about fading. I would be willing to bet money that the one you mentioned that was faded was either a PE or a RnL. However, members on here have been pleased with all three vendors.
I have not personally seen one of the electric PE's installed yet, so can't comment on them.
Any other questions, feel free to post or email me.

The PE is anodized aluminum so it shouldn't peel, although it doesn't have that black sheen
