RETRAX Bed Cover Installation and Review

Thursday November 19, 2009

I installed the RETRAX retractable bed cover on my 1997 Ford F-150 pickup a few years ago. After I sold the truck, I sure missed that cover, and must have talked it up enough, because my wife ordered a replacement for the new truck. I'm still not sure if she missed it too, or if she just didn't want to hear about it anymore. Installation steps can vary a little depending on your truck bed, but you'll find you don't need much mechanical expertise to install the cover.

So, do they really improve mpg? What’s your take? do you prefer one type over another?(roll, snap, fiberglass)
