I had a Retrax MX on my long bed diesel and loved it. But after ~4-5 years the plastic started cracking. It was parked outside all day and I think just dried it out and it fell apart. When I contacted Retrax, they were no longer making the "MX" version for my truck and allowed me to upgrade (for a not cheap price) to the Pro. WORTH IT. The aluminum replaces the plastic and also just felt "nicer".
When I went to get a cover for my Raptor, I got another Retrax Pro. One popped up for 40% of new within days of deposit on my truck; otherwise I would do the XR. The XR is a Pro just with "T-slots" already built in for racks. Pretty awesome, and some day ill pony up the $400 to replace my Pro rails with Pro XR rails and add a rack.
I love that its solid, lockable, can be opened with the tailgate closed (HATE tri-folds for this), can be closed in any position, and doesn't block rear visibility when closed. It does take a little room which is horrible on my short bed, but has been worth it.
