I tried looking up some info for the newer models and could not find info on the 07's, I would love some info on these two or whatever product you have had success with,

I installed RETRAX myself and it took me and a friend about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Very easy and works very well. Locks in any position, lightwieght, the canister sits flush with the bed, and best of all, I can still utilize my bed rails and tie-down cleats.

I did experience some leakage on a rainy day though coming from the rear sides, but not much.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, This subject has been kicked to death, but the threads I found were on older models,,Just wanted to see what was up witht the later models.

wanted to ask if those of you who have the rollnlock, are you able to still use your bedrails? I have read that you can still use it with the retrax. Curious, as I like the look of the rollnlock and am considering that one, but want to still be able to use the bedrails.

Retrax is mounted on bedrails and yes u can still use them with cleats. Looks great, easy to use, my tiny little wifey can open and close with one hand, can't do that with Roll N lock

Have Retrax on my DC love it !
Some leakage is expected ; it is not water tight !
Easy to open and locks in any spot !
Can use bed rails also .
Instaled in about an hour ; it will take 2 people ! But it was easy.

BTW, one of my boys has a Roll N Lock on his F250. Has served him well. Good quality and looks good too

I just read on some website that sells the rollnlock that you have to take the bedrails off. What a bummer. I really liked the rollnlock because of that vinyl topper. I don't like the look of the slats and that vinyl topper really makes it look a lot better. maybe I will have to get the rollnlock and relocate the bedrail like wiletundra has done.

I went with the Retrax. They mailed to my home packaged well and were great to deal with. The mounting system uses the bed rails and It fits like a glove. Tiny bit of water can get in right at the corner where the tail gate meets the Retrax. Not a retrax problem but just how the tailgate meets the body of the truck. It rolls with ease and locks in any position. I am pleased with my Retrax.

I have the Retrax on my CrewMax and couldn't be happier...works like a champ! Ordered direct from the factory, mentioned the site and got a great deal.

Just installed the Retrax last night on my CM. Excellent build quality, installation instructions, and ease of use. I installed their tailgate seal kit but I am trying to find a way to seal the extra large gap in the upper 6" where the tailgate meets the bed sides...as was said earlier, this is an issue with the Tundra and not the Retrax.

So does it seal out water along the bed rails? Can some weatherstripping be added at the tailgate to make it less leaky?

I just installed the rollnlock tonight. It was a tight tight tight fit. too tight! Was kind of hard to install because the fit was just so tight. But overall, it's still great. Looks spectacular. I'm not 100% done with the install though. I have to poke holes for the water drainage, and I want to try and seal it as best I can so I'm gonna put some silicone and weather stripping to help with the elements. I thought it would be easier to install since I'm installing it using the bedrails, but it's still quite difficult to install. It's quite seemless though. Love the look of it, as it doesn't quite look as though there are slats on it, with the vinyl top.

ok, looks like you guys overwhelmingly like the Retrax. I have a 2007 Crewmax Lmtd and have been trying to decide. will probably to with Retrax, cause it appears the existing toyota deck rails, cleats and cargo manager can be accommodated.

Opposing opinions welcomed.

Thanks!!!
