Retrax PRO XR Tonneau Cover Install on Ford F-150 Raptor

[@theeubster]

Can't wait to see what bedrack you're going with this time. I've got the same Retrax Pro XR bedcover on my Raptor with an UpTOP overland rack and I'm loving the combo so far.

Stay tuned! Answer soon!

Glad I found your channel. Fellow Oregonian here! Building out my Tremor and starting with the same Retrax you have. Wondering which rack you use that is compatible with the Retrax? looking for a rack that is no more than 12 inches high so I can still get truck with roofnest on it in the garage! Thanks for any thoughts.

Go with Xtrusion Ovrland, great small company to support. I ran ReTrax setup with their rack for a long while.

How does it work with the T-rail and have you added back your bed rack?

[@TheWhalen]

Various manufacturers have slot adapters for the legs of their racks to fit into the t-rail. That said it's with a heavy heart that I must suggest to only use this for low intensity Overlanding and camping. If you intend to go high speeds over rough trials the brackets will shake off. I just had that experience in Baja. More on that in a future vlog.

@@TheWhalen ooo interested to see what happened there..I like the setup but probably wouldn’t use it while going fast or Baja..low intensity for me

Did you change the front springs for lift? And what about the rear?

[@TheWhalen]

Currently have Geiser front springs and Icon level 2 in back ... but new upgrades soon!

[@CabooseKid]

But how waterproof is it?

[@TheWhalen]

Great question, it's been a heat wave where I live lately, so no rain, but my old retrax was pretty good, some water around tail gate area. I'll think of a test and film it.

I've got one on my raptor and got to test this on a recent trip to OR where it rained half the time. It's good EXCEPT the tailgate area where some water leaks in. I have everything in tubs in the back though so no issue for me.
