hmm, guess they're not that popular. Maybe I'll go with a softcover instead.

Yeah, thanks op. I think I may be moving to the Bakflip. I don't know if I like the way that the thing folds up to block the rear window, but it seems to have better reviews and a longer life. I've heard the retractables start getting loose after a few years and bouncing around. I was going to order it this week, after I send in my first truck payment.

I have the Pace-Edwards BedLocker cover.  I understand this is the same as the Jackrabbit with an electric motor and remote.  It is straight forward to install; two side rails holds the canister and one elecrical connection.

You will give up ablut 10 inches at the front of the bed, but you will gain flexability as you can open the cover and stop it anywhere between full open and closed.  It keeps the water out and it is very secure as it is made with aluminum slates.

One negative on the 05+ is that the side rail are very wide and you give up about 4 inches of width at the bed rail level.

I just got the BAK Industires RolBak cover.  I haven't installed it yet, but the quality looks good and the installation appears to be straight forward.   I believe it is similar to the Pace-Edwards retractable covers.
