I have one on my F250 right now and I've been real happy with the overall fit and finish. I'm planning on adding yakima rails soon to add a bike rack above it like this:
Installed Retrax Pro XR with Rhino Rack and 5 mountain bikes
After nearly 2 months my Retrax Pro XR arrived along with the Rhino Rack. Install could not have been simpler for either product and the quality is top notch. I have always been a yakima guy but I decided to give Rhino Rack a try, for $200 less and more cargo carrying capacity it made sense...

Ok I have spent the day looking at Tonneau bed covers. I was solid on the Retrax but it takes up 10 inch's of bed room and with a 5.5 bed plus if i want to leave the tailgate up and slide boards or plywood it can hit the retrax can and bend it up. I am going with the BakFlip F1. I don't like that you have to drop the tailgate to open the top. With the BakFlip you have the use of the hole bed and if you don't want to block the back windshield you can remove to wingnuts and up it in the Frunk the rails stay put. I am open for rebuttal.
That's a great point to be concerned about. I don't mind losing 10" on a 6.7" superduty bed, but losing that much on a 5.5 bed is a lot! @Dragoon has a BakFlip and he's been real happy with it.
