Discover Pace Edwards Retractable Tonneau Covers - Innovation Meets Strength
 
When it comes to premium truck bed protection, Pace Edwards has been leading the retractable tonneau cover market for decades. As the original maker of the first manual retractable cover, they continue to push the envelope with rugged, low-profile designs made to secure your cargo without compromising full bed access. 
 
Advanced Retractable Cover Options for Every Truck
 
Pace Edwards offers a full family of retractable covers, each built to suit different needs, from manual operation to electric convenience:
  • Pace Edwards JackRabbit: The classic manual retractable cover, engineered for strength and simplicity. With aluminum slats and a vinyl-ArmorTek finish, it locks securely every 12 inches and rolls back with a quick turn of the handle.
  • Full-Metal JackRabbit: Built for added durability with rigid aluminum panels, this version adds extra dent and UV resistance while keeping the sleek, flush-mounted design.
  • Pace Edwards Switchblade: Features a continuous-tension spring system for smooth, one-hand opening and closing, plus a removable canister for full bed access when needed.
  • Pace Edwards BedLocker?Electric: A motorized retractable cover that opens and closes via remote control in under 30 seconds. The electromagnetic lock can secure the cover at any point, and it retracts neatly into a canister behind your cab.
  • Pace Edwards UltraGroove?Electric: Combines electric operation with built-in T-slots, so you can mount racks (Thule, Yakima, Pace Edwards) while still protecting your bed.
  • Pace Edwards UltraGroove?Metal: A heavy-duty, powder-coated aluminum retractable cover with the same rack-compatibility as the electric version, great for high-use and high-strength applications.
 
Why Choose a Pace Edwards Retractable Cover?
 
  • Unmatched Security & Weather Protection: ArmorTek-padded or full-metal slats lock tight and seal out the elements.
  • Improved Fuel Efficiency: Retractable covers improve your truck's aerodynamics, boosting MPG by 7–10%.
  • Easy Installation: Many models clamp in place without drilling, making installation clean and accessible.
  • Legacy of Innovation: Pace Edwards invented the first retractable tonneau cover back in 1988, and with hundreds of thousands on the road, their engineering and quality speak for themselves.
