RetraxPro MX - 48 Hours from Order to Install

[Greglon]

The guys at American Trucks were really helpful and answered all my questions on the MX. I don’t plan to invest $’s on j-braces so the absence of T-rail slots is not a big deal for my use. They had the best price for the RetraxPro MX that I’ve seen online. Placed the order Sunday afternoon and the cover shipped out Monday from GA to MS. It arrived by 10a today (Tuesday) and was an easy install. Really appreciate the heads-up on the screws shearing off because of the spray-in bedliner. I pre-cleaned the threaded holes with some similar carbon steel screws I had in the coffee can. Then I assembled the cover without incident. Still need to do a little alignment when I can catch a sunny day. FYI, clearance from the bottom of the box to the floor is a bit over 10”. (My keyboard case is 8” deep so all is well there.)

First oil change this week and most software glitches disappeared with the recent update. Also had the recall done for the window software. The truck just kept getting better and better over the past six months. I would score it a solid 9. The only thing I’d like to do now is replace the rear headrests so that I can fold the rear seat down when I need it without moving both front seats forward. Hope y’all have a happy 2025!!!

The truck and of course, the new bed cover look great. Really fast shipping and happy to hear, install too.

I'm with you on shorter headrest that can clear without having to move both front seats. I've thought about removing them but occasionally, I have 2 or 3 people in the cab with me and it would meaning having to take them on and off. Heck, I hate dealing with having to simply push a button to disable the Stop/Start feature.

Re rear headrests. I've heard the older folding ranger headrests will fit into our rear seats. They aren't especially expensive so I thought I'd give them a try

Am I the only one who thinks including pics/screenshots is a pain in the rear? I always have to resize to massively reduce these items

Awesome. Thanks JohnB!

You provided great information, so I screenshotted some info so I could follow up. Forgot where they came from originally.... Grinning a bit. The hazards of turning 70.
