Anybody have any issues with these after a few years? Thinking about picking one up for my long bed f350 , but was wondering about the reliability over time as far as the rollers and the usual wear and tear.

Had mine for over 10 years. Still going strong, and I'm not the most gentle person on my stuff.

That is the same for me but only 8 years. Haven't really even had leaking issues.

Would buy again if I ever get another truck.

Completely reliable, but mine leaks more than I would like.

I have the electric model on my work truck and it has been on there since 2016. Still works like a champ. It only leaks around the tailgate in the corners. Never had an issue with stuff getting wet.

Not a bad cover but I believe the bottom of the cannister is plastic. Which one are you looking at? The entry level one has a plastic top if I'm not mistaken. Have you looked at Rollnlok?

I’m looking at the pro xr. I believe it’s the one with the t-rails on the sides, and a aluminum top.

A friend had one on a f250. It cracked in multiple places and was rarely if ever used and was only a few years old.

I think he had to buy a new one.

Yep, that’s a good one. Retrax offers consumer rebates periodically, check on their website, they may have one now.

I've got the pro, didn't think I needed the T-rails, but I wish I would have gotten them now.

Had mine 3 years, works great but does leak more than I want.

Now that I have had one on my last truck and current truck, I will never have a truck without one again unless I go to a camper shell.
