[QUOTE="RaptorRnr, post: 1560287, member: 41633"] I have used my Retrax since 2015 on three different F-150s. The benefits include it can be set to any locking point so that items can be "pinched" with the tailgate closed. It's very handy for plywood or 2x4s. Many bed covers do not offer the ability to lock at any point. The actual keyed lock on my Retrax isn't great because it can be pushed open with a medium amount of pressure. Despite being locked it will still slide open. I do use it still when I have valuable items in the bed of my truck. I do also keep traction boards, a shovel and an axe, which have all remained secured under the cover. The other downside to the Retrax is that it uses up 11-inches of bed space. It is fairly water tight. With heavy rain or snow I often find a little bit of water in the bed but it's minimal. If I'm carrying luggage I don't want to get wet, with even a little bit of water, I put the items in trash bags. All in all, the Retrax has been great. I was considering selling mine so that I could switch to a RollNLock, due to the much smaller roll-up container at 7-inches. Part of that consideration is I bought the Builtright Bedside Rack system. The roll-up bin obstructed some of my ability to mount items towards the cab to the side of the bed. The Retrax build quality and capability definitely make it worth it and I recommend them. However the smaller roll-up bin would be nice. [/QUOTE]
