What's the Difference Between a Retrax Pro and a Retrax Pro XR for a 2019 Ford F-250 with an 8 foot bed?

Ford F250 Owner: Yeah, I'd like to discuss a Tonneau Cover.

Shawn: What kind of Tonneau Cover are you looking at?

Ford F250 Owner: The Retrax Pro.

Shawn: What kind of truck is it?

Ford F250 Owner: It's a 2019 Ford F-250 with an 8 foot bed.

Shawn: Okay, let's see here. So for the Pro MX in the Matte black, for the 8 foot bed ... Standard rails, or do you want the stake pocket cut outs?

Ford F250 Owner: Are the stake pocket cutouts the little holes in the truck?

Shawn: Yeah.

Ford F250 Owner: Yeah, let's do it with the cut outs.

Shawn: Okay. There's no tax outside of Arizona, and shipping is free.

Ford F250 Owner: Is there a cover that has rails on it, to where you can put bars on top?

Shawn: Yes, but the one I just quoted is not the one. I can get you the info on that one if you like.

Ford F250 Owner: I don't need the rails right now. I'm thinking that I may just want the one that has the ability to put the bars on there.

Shawn: Well, the cool thing is ... I think it's like $100 more and you get the rails, but right now they're running a promotion where you actually get the rails for free. But you won't have those cut outs, and it's called the Retrax Pro XR.

Ford F250 Owner: But it's the same color and all that?

Shawn: Correct.

Ford F250 Owner: The matte black aluminum supports the weight and all that? But it doesn't have cut outs. Why doesn't it have cut outs?

Shawn: Well, because of those rails. That T channel goes through the whole length of the rail, pretty much right where those cut outs would be. And you can't alter that. And the purpose for the cut outs, really, is for racks and things like that, so you're kind of replacing that with this.

Ford F250 Owner: Yeah. Okay. That's what I need to know. I appreciate it.

Shawn: You got it, my friend.

Ford F250 Owner: It's a good price. I just got to get my partner to approve it, but I'll be calling back.

What's the Best Retrax Cover for a 2007 Chevy 3500 Extended Cab Long Bed?

Chevy Owner: I'm looking for a Tonneau cover and I got an email back from you folks yesterday and now I'm just following up. I'm interested in the Retrax Pro XR.

Peter: Okay. Gotcha. What truck is it for?

Chevy Owner: It's for a 2007 Chevy 3500 Extended Cab long bed.


Peter: Okay. Let me see. Let me double check this, Retrax Pro XR for a 2007 Chevy 3500 eight foot bed. Got it, have we sent you a quote yet?

Chevy Owner: Yes, I received a quote yesterday.

Peter: It's also free shipping and there's no sales tax if you're ordering from outside of Arizona.

Chevy Owner: All right. I have just a couple questions. I saw something that if you buy before the end of April you get some Yakima crossbars.

Peter: That's correct. That's a rebate from Retrax right now.

Chevy Owner: So if that's included is there anything I have to do to get that?

Peter: Yeah the rebate is through Retrax, so you basically send in the rebate form and then they'll send you the bars.

Chevy Owner: Okay. Those are Yakima crossbars right?

Peter: That's correct.

Chevy Owner: Perfect. Now there was one question about whether or not this truck had wide top rails in terms of fit.

Peter: Well Retrax makes wide rails for some trucks, but not yours.

Chevy Owner: Okay. I just have this truck and I know that the top of the bed is four and a half inches wide or something so I didn't know if there was another model that was thinner or skinnier or this was standard. This cover covers up the stake bed holes, is that right?

Peter: Partially, yes.

Chevy Owner: Alright, so you folks don't carry the bike trays, the bicycle holders from Yakima?

Peter: We do not.

Chevy Owner: Okay. So then I'm looking at an email here. There's some other tailgate seal or something that you're going to include that seals up the space between your bed and the tailgate? What's that all about?

Peter: Yeah it's a tailgate seal kit. Just keeps water and dust out. It's a good addition with the tonneau cover.

Chevy Owner: Okay. So just go over everything one more time that I'm gonna get from you folks for the quoted price.

Peter: It's the Retract Pro XR, the rebate is included. So you'll send in the rebate form to get the Yakima bars and then we'll also be including the tailgate seal kit for free.

Chevy Owner: Sounds good and then so what do you expect shipping time to be on that?

Peter: Five to seven days.

Chevy Owner: Okay. I'll go ahead and order

Peter: Yeah you're all set. You're good to go.

Chevy Owner: Perfect. Easy, I like it. I'm excited. Thank you.

F150 Owner: It's for a 2018 Ford F-150, with the smaller bed, the five and a half foot.

Peter: Okay. Let me grab that part number here. You already have that quoted price. It's also free shipping and there's no sales tax because you're outside of Arizona.

Peter: Yeah, it's like a $550 value on that rebate. It's awesome. Okay, so the 2018 Ford F150 short bed.

F150 Owner: 2018 F-150 short bed. You got it.

Peter: Okay. We're good. Allow about 5-7 days for delivery on this. It could be faster.

F150 Owner: So, what do I use for my receipt for the rebate?

Peter: The confirmation that I just sent you. It's going to have the part number on there and everything. It's going to say how much you paid. That's what they need. And then, yeah. You just send it in with the rebate form.

F150 Owner: Thank you.

Peter: Have a great day!

Retrax Cover for a 2019 Ford F-250

F-250 Owner: I had gotten an email from you a couple weeks ago about a Retrax cover, but that might be with stake pockets cut out. I don't want that. I want the standard one

Peter: Okay. Retrax Pro MX for an eight foot bed?

F-350 Owner: Yep, it's for a 2019 F-350. You had a program running on that. Is that still in effect?

Peter: Our sale ended, but let me see what I can do for you though. Give me just a second here. So 2019 F-350, eight foot bed... Okay, still good. Okay yeah, I can do it for close to the quoted sale price. It's free shipping, and there's no sales tax if you're ordering from outside of Arizona.

F-350 Owner: There was a rebate, is that no longer available?

Peter: That ended as well, unfortunately.

F-350 Owner: When will you have any programs running again like that?

Peter: I don't know. When it comes to manufacturer rebates, we actually don't get informed until about 48 hours before.

F-350 Owner: Would you know the amount of that framing, or any of the material associated with that Retrax, how high does it sit above the bedrail on the truck when it's closed?

Peter: It doesn't. It sits flush inside the bedrail.

F-350 Owner: Beautiful, perfect that's important, because I have some clearance issues. And would you know the dimensions of the unit when it is fully opened? I've never had one of these things, and I have another issue now with the fuel tank.

Peter: Okay, so the canister is about 11 inches, by 11 inches, by the width of the bed.

F-350 Owner: 11 inches, by 11 inches. And does that open fully into it, or is there some portion of the cover that has to remain unopened?

Peter: Yeah, there's just a very little bit that will still stay in the rails. Yes.

F-350 Owner: There is something, okay. Do you know how much of that in inches?

Peter: I don't, I'm sorry.

F-350 Owner: This is important. Is there somebody I can call at Retrax about this?

Peter: Yeah, they have techs over there that might have the exact dimensions for your application. They might be able to help you with that.

F-350 Owner: Okay, I'm going to give them a call, see if I can get that information. And I'll get back to you sometime this afternoon. Is there an issue with these things leaking rain water? I'm hearing, reading a lot of different reviews on it, as far as being water tight.

Peter: Yeah, in my experience when there's water issues, they didn't install it correctly. It's designed to be extremely water resistant, with drain channels that lead to drain tubes, that keep the water out of the bed. So you shouldn't have issue with that.

F-350 Owner: I should not. Okay, good enough. I'll give them a holler and get back with you then.

Peter: Okay, sounds good.
