RetraxONE MX Retractable Tonneau Cover Installed

I haven't seen too many mentions of the RetraxONE MX so I figured I'd post my very quick review, since I just installed it this weekend (pics attached for those interested).

Overall, the install was pretty easy. I had no idea what I was doing, and I got it done in about 1 hour. Despite what I've heard from others, it's not very heavy. You can definitely lift the canister yourself, but you do need a 2nd person to help you place it in the bed. It's very low profile. Unnoticeable from the side. Of course, the canister does take up some room in the bed but it's really not bad at all. I'm happy with the way it came out.

The only issue I have with it is the drain tubes, which are too big for the stock drain holes in the bed. I followed someone else's suggestion and bought a 1/4" ID x 1/4" MIP hose barb adapter. I wish the kit came with something other than "figure it out on your own" but that's about it.

It's not a cheap cover but if you're in the market for a retractable, I would recommend this.

It's a sweet cover. Especially the one with the built in tracks.

Surprised you went with it even though you're in NY? I was considering one of these for a bit but just heard mixed reviews on winter performance.

we'll see how it holds up in the winter

I’m looking at getting one myself. I love how minimal and clean they look.

What are the measurements of the canister?

I heard somewhere it was 12 by 12.

Can you confirm this?

Love mine

We had rain last night and as you can see in the pic below, I had some dripping as I opened the cover but these covers are not "waterproof", so I think it did it's job keeping the bed dry.

Yeah it's just about 12x12".

Just FYI on winter performance. I had one on my last truck and live at 9,000 feet with 200+ inches of snow a winter and never had any issues. We get a lot of sunshine though, so maybe that helped.

to be honest, i'm not concerned about the winter. I'm about 30-45 min from the city so, thankfully, we dont get that kind of accumulation over the course of the entire winter. The worst we get in maybe 12" in one snowfall and that's not common either.

Thanks for the review! Definitely a hot seller for us, I'd say a good bang for buck!
