Pace Edwards Tonneau Covers

Since introducing the original JackRabbit® in 1988, Pace Edwards has led the industry in retractable tonneau innovation. Their covers feature heavy-gauge aluminum panels that retract into a contoured canister at the front of the bed, ensuring full utility without obstructing visibility. 

The BedLocker® Electric model takes convenience to the next level with hands-free remote operation, allowing you to open or close the cover via a key fob or via optional Bluetooth on your smartphone. This electric retractable design provides unmatched strength and security. For those seeking a manual option, the Full Metal™ JackRabbit® and Switchblade™ Metal offer rugged durability with aluminum panels with interlocking silicone hinges. 

These interlocking silicone hinge seals keep the cover tight against the elements, helping protect your cargo from rain and snow. The aerodynamic design is flush with the bed rails, providing streamlined OEM styling and enhancing fuel efficiency. This unique feature allows for the easy attachment of Truck Bed Racks, making it a truly versatile truck cover for hauling bikes, kayaks, or ladders. Whether you choose the vinyl-over-aluminum of the standard JackRabbit® or the matte-black powder-coated finish of the metal line, every Pace Edwards tonneau cover is made in the USA and built to last.


Factors to Consider When Choosing the Right Pace Edwards Tonneau Cover 

  • Select Your Operation Style: Choose between the convenience of the BedLocker® Electric with hands-free remote operation or the reliable pull-strap operation of the JackRabbit® and Switchblade manual covers.

  • Consider Cargo Management: If you plan to use a rack system, the UltraGroove series, with its built-in rail expansion system, is a key part of a complete cargo solution, allowing you to mount accessories above the bed cover.

  • Evaluate Material and Finish: Opt for heavy-gauge aluminum panels with a matte-black powder-coated finish for a rugged look, or select a vinyl-polymer surface with a heavy-duty aluminum backing for a classic OEM appearance.

  • Prioritize Installation Ease: The Switchblade™ Metal is designed for a quick install with clamp-in hardware and a no-drill setup, making it easy to remove the canister and rails when you need full bed access.

  • Maximize Weather Protection: Look for models with panels featuring interlocking silicone hinge seals, which provide superior weather resistance to keep your truck bed dry and secure.
