Pace Edwards JackRabbit Manual Retractable Tonneau Cover for 2021-2026 Ford F-150 (6'7" Bed, Cover with Standard Rails)

The Pace Edwards JackRabbit is a manual retractable tonneau cover whose aluminum deck wears a padded ArmorTek overlay. It can be key locked closed, fully open or at any 12" stop between, which helps with taller loads. For the 2021-2026 Ford F-150 with the 6'7" bed (Ford's "6.5-ft" box, 78.9" measured), the part number is JRF172.

What's Included:

• JackRabbit retractable cover with its front canister
• Standard mounting rails
• Key-lockable twist lock, fitted to the cover
• Drain tubes
• Mounting clamps and hardware
• Installation instructions

Explorer Rails for overhead racks and crossbars are a separate version of this cover and are not part of this standard-rail kit.

Features

Aluminum Deck, ArmorTek Skin
Rigid aluminum panels carry the load, and ArmorTek, a padded polymer overlay bonded to the metal, resists the weather and gives the deck a clean soft-top look.

Lock Positions Every 12"
The deck latches at 12" steps along the rails, so a tall load can stand in the open rear of the bed while the front stays covered. The cover can be key locked at any of those positions.

Twist Lock and Full-Width Handle
A key-lockable twist lock releases the deck without lowering the tailgate first, and the handle built into the top of the cover runs its full width.

Spring-Assisted Retraction
Pace Edwards' Continuous Tension Spring draws the deck smoothly into the canister with very little effort, and a pull strap brings it back to the tailgate. The canister sits at the front of the bed, so the cover opens nearly the full bed rather than every inch of it.

Weather Resistant, Not Waterproof
A seal over the tailgate and the mounting rails steer water into the canister, where drain tubes carry it out of the bed. The cover is weather resistant, not waterproof, and on some trucks a hole has to be drilled to route the drain tubes.

Low Profile, Hitch Friendly
The deck sits low over the bed rails, and Pace Edwards lists the JackRabbit as compatible with most 5th-wheel hitches.

Clamp-On Standard Rails
This version rides on standard rails that clamp to the bed without drilling. Owners who plan to mount an overhead rack or crossbars should look at the JackRabbit on Explorer Rails, which Pace Edwards recommends for that job.

Installation

Type: clamp-on rails, no drilling of the bed rails on most applications (the Stepside version is drilled)  ·  Drain tubes: routed out of the bed, a drilled hole on some trucks  ·  Bedliner: over-the-rail liners usually need trimming

This cover mounts on rails that clamp to the bed, so the truck's bed rails are not drilled, and Pace Edwards supplies the clamps, hardware and instructions for this application. The drain tubes that carry water out of the canister have to be routed out of the bed, and on some trucks that takes a drilled hole. The rails lay flat on the bed sill, so an over-the-rail bedliner usually needs the part covering the sill trimmed or removed, and a notch for the canister at the front of the bed may need to come out as well.

Warranty, Shipping & Returns

Warranty. Pace Edwards backs the JackRabbit with a five-year limited warranty that starts on the date of purchase. It covers ArmorTek deck delamination, a failed Continuous Tension Spring, every lock assembly, and all hardware and components. Not covered: normal wear and tear such as fading or discoloration, water that gets in at any point and the damage it causes, added parts and accessories, and acts of nature. Coverage is void after lubrication other than what the owner or installation manual prescribes, misuse, negligence or accident, improper installation, cargo that is not secured, or an accessory installed without Pace Edwards' written permission that interferes with the cover. Pace Edwards repairs or replaces a defective part at its discretion and does not cover consequential damage to the vehicle or other property. Shipping. The carrier and ship method are set by the size and weight of the carton when the order is placed. Inspect on delivery. Open the carton when it arrives and check the cover, rails and hardware before you start the install. Note any visible carton damage on the delivery receipt and photograph it, because damage reported later is much harder to claim.

Returns. Unused items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. If an item arrives damaged, defective or wrong, return shipping is on us. See our Returns & Refunds Policy, or email support@prestigetruck.com with any question.
