PowertraxONE XR Electric Polycarbonate Retractable Bed Cover to Suit Toyota Hilux (2016–2022)
The PowertraxONE XR Electric Polycarbonate Retractable Tonneau Cover is built to bring convenience, security, and versatility to your Toyota Hilux. Designed by Retrax for drivers who expect more from their ute, this electric retractable cover combines the proven PowertraxONE MX with an integrated Trax Rail System (T-slot), giving you a whole new way to customise your setup above the tub.
Part of Retrax’s Polycarbonate Series, the PowertraxONE XR offers impressive cargo capacity whether the cover is open or closed. That kind of flexibility makes it perfect for workdays, weekends, and everything in between.
Built for Real-World Utility
The Trax Rail System is compatible with a wide range of T-slot accessories from trusted brands like Rhino-Rack, Yakima, and Thule. This opens up endless options for personalisation — mount rooftop tents, bike racks, recovery boards, or extra storage boxes right on top of the cover while keeping your gear underneath safe, dry, and out of sight.
By pairing the Trax Rail System with these accessories, you can effectively double your storage and carrying capacity. It’s a smart setup that also frees up your tow hitch, letting you carry everything from bikes and coolers to camping gear without compromise. Together, the PowertraxONE XR and its Trax Rail design turn your Hilux into a true cargo management system, ready for both work and adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cover fit all Toyota Hilux variants from 2016 to 2022, including SR5 and Rogue?
Yes and no. The PowertraxONE XR for the Toyota Hilux is designed to fit all double-cab Hilux models from 2016 to 2022, including SR and SR5 trims that share the same tub dimensions. However, it does not fit the Rogue straight out of the box because the Rogue features a distinctive, oversized factory sports bar/sail plane that blocks the tonneau's canister and T-slots. If your Hilux has been fitted with a non-standard tub liner, tray system, or bed modification, confirm fitment with us before ordering.
Will the cover fit if I already have a sports bar mounted in the tub?
This depends on where your sports bar mounts relative to the tub rails. The PowertraxONE XR clamps onto the tub rails, and the cover needs to travel the full rail length to retract. Any accessory that sits inside the tub rails or obstructs the cover’s travel path will create a conflict. Measure the clearance between your sports bar and the tub rail before ordering.
What T-slot accessories can I mount on the Trax Rail System on the Hilux?
The Trax Rail System accepts most T-slot accessories from brands like Rhino-Rack, Yakima, Thule, and others, including crossbars for rooftop tents, bike carriers, recovery boards, and cargo boxes. Accessories are sold separately and compatibility varies by clamp style.
How well does the cover seal against dust on corrugated outback tracks?
The flush front cover and weather-seal design are intended to provide solid protection against rain and general dust under normal driving conditions. No retractable tonneau cover is fully dust-tight in extended corrugated or dusty off-road conditions. For regular unsealed road driving, it is worth inspecting the seals periodically and adjusting or replacing them as needed per Retrax’s maintenance guidelines.
How much of the Hilux tub is taken up by the canister when the cover is open?
When fully retracted, the canister typically occupies roughly 250 to 300mm at the cab end of the tub. The remaining tub length is fully accessible. If you regularly carry long loads that need the full bed length unobstructed, the EZ-OFF FRC-4000 model with its removable canister is worth considering.
What happens if the key fob battery dies when I’m out in the field?
A flat key fob battery means the wireless remote will not work. We recommend carrying a spare fob battery as standard practice for remote-area travel. Some installations allow a degree of manual operation in emergencies, but this should be confirmed in the Retrax installation guide or directly with Retrax for your specific model before relying on it.
Does a closed tonneau cover affect fuel economy on the Hilux at highway speeds?
Driving with the tub open creates aerodynamic turbulence behind the cab, which can slightly increase drag at highway speeds. A closed tonneau cover is generally considered to reduce this effect. Any fuel economy improvement will depend on driving speed, load, and conditions. The practical difference in a typical commute or highway run is generally modest.
Is there a risk of water pooling on top of the polycarbonate cover?
The low-profile design sits flush with the tub rails and generally sheds water naturally. Some pooling is possible in heavy rain if the vehicle is parked on a significant lean. The cover is designed to manage water at the seals and drain it away from the tub. We recommend ensuring the drainage channels are clear and functioning, particularly before extended wet-weather trips.
