The Retrax EQ is an electric retractable tonneau cover built from heavy-duty aluminum, with Trax Rail T-slot channels in its side rails and an LED bed light in the driver's side rail. It rolls open and shut on a Dual Helical Cable Drive System, answering to your truck's factory key fob, the Retrax phone app over Bluetooth or an optional cab-mounted touchpad, then retracts into a compact canister at the bulkhead. Closed, it carries 500 lb of evenly distributed weight under a UV-resistant matte black finish. It clamps on with no drilling and is assembled in North Dakota. It suits owners who want powered bed access, a rack on top and a hard cover in one.
What's Included:
Retrax EQ electric rolling cover assembly with canister
Aluminum side rails with integrated Trax Rail T-slot channels
Driver's side high-output LED rail light

Find your truck. Select your year, make, model and bed length above to see the exact Retrax EQ part number, its price and a confirmed fit. This cover is offered in 28 truck and bed applications, each with its own part number and hardware.
Features
Opens From Your Key Fob Press the factory key fob and the cover rolls open or shut. The Retrax phone app for iOS and Android does the same over Bluetooth, and a cab-mounted remote touchpad is sold as an option for owners who want a button inside the truck.
Cable Drive, Anti-Pinch Stop A Dual Helical Cable Drive System moves the cover along glide tracks set in the rail channel, so it runs smoothly and quietly. Anti-pinch protection stops the cover if something is in the way, and a manual disconnect lets you move it by hand.
Heavy Aluminum, 500 lb Rating The rolling cover assembly is heavy-duty aluminum, rated to hold 500 lb spread evenly across the closed cover. A UV-resistant matte black finish covers the slats and rails, and the cover carries weather stripping.
Lit Bed on Every Open A high-output LED strip is built into the driver's side rail and comes in the box. It switches on by itself whenever the cover opens or closes, lighting the whole bed at night. A matching passenger-side light is available as an option for more output.
Compact Canister, Rack-Ready Rails The cover rolls into a compact canister at the bulkhead, leaving more of your bed usable. The Trax Rail System is built into both side rails and accepts most T-slot racks, mounts, gear and accessories from major manufacturers such as Yakima, Thule and Rhino Rack.
Clamps On, No Drilling Every EQ comes with hardware made for the truck it is ordered for. Installation is a clamp-on job with no cutting, drilling or modification. Vehicle-specific install sheets cover RamBox, deck rail and standard beds. It is assembled in North Dakota from globally sourced materials.

Everything you need for your Retrax EQ Electric Retractable Tonneau Cover with T-Slot Rails, in one place.
Warranty. Retrax backs the EQ with a five year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, running from the original purchase date for the first owner only and not transferring with the truck. Normal wear such as fading, water intrusion and any damage it causes, parts and accessories added after purchase and external events are excluded. Altering the cover, misuse, an accident, fitting accessories that touch or interfere with it, driving with unsecured cargo or failing to register the warranty with the manufacturer within thirty days of delivery will void coverage. Approved claims are repaired or replaced at the manufacturer's discretion once a return authorization number is issued, and shipping charges are yours.
Free shipping. This item ships free to the lower 48 states. Because it is an oversized item, it ships by freight or oversized parcel and typically arrives in 3 to 7 business days.
Inspect on delivery. Please inspect the packaging before signing. If you see any damage, note it on the delivery receipt and contact us right away, and we will make it right.
About Retrax
Retrax makes retractable hard covers for pickup beds, the kind that roll into a canister rather than folding up or lifting away. The Retrax EQ is assembled in North Dakota from globally sourced materials, with a heavy-duty aluminum rolling cover assembly and aluminum side rails under a UV-resistant matte black finish.
The EQ sits alongside the PowertraxPRO MX and the PowertraxPRO XR, the other powered covers in this family. Retrax showed the EQ as an all-new cover at the SEMA show in 2022. On the EQ, Bluetooth phone control, key fob operation and a rail-mounted LED light are all part of the design.
Retrax is known for its Trax Rail System, the T-slot channels built into the cover's side rails that take most T-slot racks and mounts from major manufacturers including Yakima, Thule and Rhino Rack. Warranty work runs through a customer service department that issues return authorization numbers before anything ships back.

Installing the Retrax EQ

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
How do I open and close the Retrax EQ?
Three ways. Your truck's factory key fob operates it. The Retrax phone app for iOS and Android controls it over Bluetooth. An optional cab-mounted remote touchpad adds a button inside the cab. A short video covers pairing the app. If you ever need to move the cover without power, a manual disconnect lets you do that by hand.
Can I put a rack or cross bars on it?
Yes. The Trax Rail System is built into the aluminum side rails. Its channels take most T-slot racks, mounts, gear and accessories from major manufacturers including Yakima, Thule and Rhino Rack. A T-slot tonneau compatibility guide lists the rack systems that have been checked, so read that before you buy a rack.
Is the Retrax EQ waterproof?
Treat it as water resistant rather than sealed. The cover carries weather stripping, but the manufacturer does not publish a sealing specification and its warranty statement lists water intrusion as not covered. Clear snow and ice off the cover before opening it. The stripping can hold soapy residue after a car wash, which is why the rails want an occasional wipe inside.
Does installation require drilling?
No. Nothing on the truck gets cut, drilled or altered. The EQ clamps to the bed with hardware matched to your truck, and the printed instructions walk through setting the canister and side rails in place. There are separate sheets for RamBox beds, deck rail beds and standard beds.
How should I clean and look after the cover?
Mild car soap and water is all it needs. Nothing stronger, and no wax on it. Wipe the inside of the rails now and then. If you drive dusty roads, clear dirt from the rails and the canister with a wet towel. If the truck ever has to be towed from the rear, remove the cover and store it first.
My truck has a RamBox, a multifunction tailgate or a deck rail system. Which version do I need?
Choose the option that matches your bed when you select your truck. Ram trucks split into a version for beds with RamBox and silver cargo rails and one for beds without RamBox and without the multifunction tailgate. Trucks with a factory track system show a deck rail option instead. The selector lists the exact part number once you pick.
