Why Choose a Retractable Tonneau Cover, and What Makes Pace Edwards Stand Out
Nov 20 2025
- Retractable covers provide much stronger protection than soft roll-up covers. Pace Edwards covers, for example, use rigid aluminum panels that lock securely along the rails. The built-in locking system helps deter theft and keeps your cargo safe.
- Many Pace Edwards covers feature padded vinyl or ArmorTek polymer bonded to aluminum. This helps shed rain, snow, and debris while providing a tight seal to protect against the elements. Plus, built-in drain tubes and recessed rails manage water effectively.
- Because these covers sit flush and streamline the truck bed, they reduce aerodynamic drag. Pace Edwards estimates that their rigid retractable covers can deliver noticeable MPG gains.
- A major perk of retractable covers is the ability to fully open the bed when needed. Whether you're hauling tall or bulky gear, you can roll the cover back for full access, no need to uninstall anything.
- With solid materials like aluminum and the ArmorTek overlay, Pace Edwards covers are built to last. They resist dents, corrosion, and wear; making them a reliable investment for work trucks, weekend rigs, or daily drivers alike.
- Pace Edwards Switchblade: One-hand operation powered by a continuous-tension spring. The ArmorTek-bonded aluminum slats offer a soft-touch feel with hard-cover strength, and the canister is removable for full-bed access.
- Pace Edwards BedLocker Electric: Fully motorized for convenience, open and close with a remote in seconds. Lockable at any point along the rail, offering both security and ease.
- Pace Edwards UltraGroove Electric: Combines electric operation with T-slots built into the rails for compatibility with truck racks (like Yakima or Thule).
- Pace Edwards UltraGroove Metal: All-aluminum construction with a powder-coated finish and built-in T-slots, durable, rack-ready, and stylish.
