Built for the 2021-2026 Ford F-250, F-350 and F-450 Super Duty with the "8-ft" bed (98.1", about 8'2"), UltraGroove Electric part KEF177 draws power from the truck battery and runs the length of the bed from either of two remotes.
What's Included:
- Aluminum slat deck with canister and electric drive
- Side rails with RES T-slots
- Turn-knob clamps and mounting hardware with leveling arms
- Two sets of drain tubes, front and rear
- Tailgate seal and extended rear rail caps
- Two wireless key fobs
Manual switches for the cab or tailgate, the Bluetooth module for phone control, and racks are sold separately.
Features
Key fob drive
Two wireless key fobs come with the cover, and either one opens or closes it. The motor is wired to the truck battery, so opening the bed takes a button press.
Brake holds any position
The electro-magnetic brake stops the deck anywhere along the rails, so the opening can match the load. If power is lost, a drive system release lever overrides the brake and the cover can be moved by hand.
T-slot rails for racks
The Rail Expansion System puts T-slots in both rails for Pace Edwards, Thule, Yakima or Rhino-Rack accessories. Bikes, ladders, skis or cargo baskets can ride on top while the bed below stays usable.
Rails that act as gutters
The recessed U-channel rails channel water to the front or back of the bed, depending on which way the truck sits when parked. Drain tubes at both ends carry it out of the bed, and overflow holes in the lower canister help.
Sealed at the tailgate
Pliable perimeter seals line the rails, extended rail caps close off the rear corners, and a tailgate seal lies across the top of the gate.
Matte black aluminum deck
Heavy-gauge extruded aluminum slats are joined by interlocking silicone hinge seals and finished in matte black powder coat.
Hand-tightened clamps
Turn-knob clamps tighten by hand on many trucks, and the rails need no drilling on most vehicles. Leveling arms in the mounting hardware keep the rails in position.

Warranty, Shipping & Returns
Warranty. Pace Edwards backs the UltraGroove Electric with a seven-year limited warranty from the date of purchase, prorated after the fifth year. It covers failures of materials and workmanship, separation of the deck panels, failure of the drive system and electrical components, and all hardware and components. Normal wear including fading or discoloration, water intrusion and any damage it causes, added parts and accessories, and storms or other outside causes are not covered. Lubricants other than the ones Pace Edwards specifies, misuse, improper installation, cargo left unsecured so it damages the cover, and accessories that interfere with the cover without Pace Edwards' written approval void the coverage. Pace Edwards decides whether a part is defective and repairs or replaces it at its discretion. Shipping. The carrier and ship method are set by the size and weight of the carton when the order is placed. Inspect on delivery. Check the deck, canister, rails, drain tubes, hardware and both key fobs against the parts list when the cover arrives, and report any shortage or shipping damage before installation begins.
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.
About Pace Edwards
