Retractable Tonneau Covers

Hey Everyone!
I’m trying to decide on which retractable tonneau cover to go with for my 2020 LTZ with the standard box. A few must haves:
- Made in America

- Metal construction

- Solid Locking mechanisms
- Roof rack attachment rails (need to haul bikes, snowboards, etc)

So with those criteria I’ve narrowed it down to the Retrax Pro XR, Pace Edwards Full Metal JackRabbit, and Truck Covers USA American Work Cover JR.

On my previous truck (2010 F150) I have the Truck Covers USA American Work Cover for 10 years and loved it, except the 20”+ of lost bed space, so that’s why I’m looking at the Work Cover Jr or possibly the other two.

If you have any of these covers I’d be interested to hear your overall thoughts on durability, security, functionality, and bed space occupied by the canister, and the rails. In addition, are the front stake pockets covered at all by the canister or seals? Pictures would be a big bonus!

Thanks for reading and thanks for your time!

Did you end up purchasing any of these? I'm looking at tonneau covers as well. Not sure if I want a hard retractable one or a soft roll-up one like I've had on my previous trucks.

might check out their portfolio of American products and companies. I have the Roll’n’lock Aseries and really like it. Not sure about mounting options for above the cover though.

BossTaco, I decided to go with the American Work Cover, I had one on my last truck for 10 years without any issue so I decided to go with the know good option, its a 6 to 8 week wait time but I'll post some pictures once its on!
