Does the Remote Tailgate Release Still Work on a 2016 F150 King Ranch with a Retrax Pro XR Cover?

F-150 Owner: You had sent me a quote yesterday and I called and talked to one of your other representatives. I'm looking at the Retrax Pro XR.

Peter: Okay.

F-150 Owner: I have a 2016 F150 King Ranch, so it has the remote tailgate release.

Peter: Okay.

F-150 Owner: I know that this Retrax goes over the tailgate. Is it so tight that the release, I mean, usually on these type of things until the seal wears in a little bit over a month or something, it might be a little tight from the release, but does the release still work?

Peter: Yes, it will be a little tight at first. With the Retrax it will be even a little bit tight when you're opening it and closing it for the first couple of weeks. So that's normal, but it definitely wears and you won't have any issues there.

F-150 Owner: All right, next question. The powered version, what's the cost of that versus the Pro XR?

Peter: Double check that here. So you want the powered?

F-150 Owner: No, I'm just comparing. The problem is because it's an FX4 it's up a little high and my wife's only five two.

Peter: Yep. I understand. What's the bed length?

F-150 Owner: Five and a half. Or five seven, whatever it is. It's a 2016 F150.

Peter: Okay. Let me see.

F-150 Owner: So it would be the Power Trax Pro XR.

Peter: Yep. There's roughly a $740 difference. Same deal with the free shipping. No sales tax if you're ordering from outside of Arizona.

F-150 Owner: Okay. I'll make my decision in the next couple of hours and then I will give you a call this afternoon.

Peter: Okay. Sounds good. We'll talk to soon.
