I wish I could keep this, but I've got a camper shell installed and nowhere to store this tonneau cover.
It's the Ford-branded Embark model, which is the same as the Retrax Pro XR. I like the design a lot. The aluminum panels roll up into a can near the cab, and you can lock the cover in place at any point along the bed. You can operate the whole thing with one hand, which is nice when you're carrying something.
The can itself takes up a portion of the bed but I never had an issue, especially with a 6' bed. There is still about 8-10" of clearance under the can to slide long objects underneath and it seems like a fine tradeoff for the ease of operation.
This model has roof rack tracks embedded in the tonneau cover rails, so you can mount any roof rack setup above the tonneau cover. I don't have any roof rack components for sale but that's how I planned to set it up myself.
The cover itself is extremely sturdy rigid aluminum, they say it can take a distributed load of 500 lb. It would take a fair amount of time and noise to get through this cover into the truck bed.
