Our Retrax Pro is great. Easy to open, locks in any position, and weather proof. Very satisfied.

X4. I had a Roll N Lock on my last truck and found the strap and latching mechanism to be a PIA. I had to actually "lift up" on the rear of the cover to get it to latch or unlatch. My wife could not operate the cover, and I also found that the strap got tangled up on my fifth wheel hitch or cargo in the bed. The cover also did not slide with ease even with multiple attempts at adjusting it. I also did not like the fact that I needed to unlatch the cover in order to open the tailgate. Lastly the vinyl on the top of the cover developed lines between the aluminum slats that I could not remove and it began to look horrible. I am a stickler for maintenance so lack of maintenance was definitely not an issue with it.

The Retrax is much better. It can be locked in any position along the rail (the Roll N Lock can only be locked in 4 positions), there is no strap to tangle on the hitch or cargo, the lock is on the driver's side of the cover rather than in the middle which eliminates getting up on the truck bed to lock or unlock it, it opens and closes much easier, the tailgate can be opened with the cover closed and locked, and the surface of it is non staining and virtually maintenance free. It also keeps the truck bed much drier than the Roll N Lock did. In summary, it is a much better cover that I am completely satisfied with.
