Retrax 24-26 Toyota Tacoma 5ft Bed (Needs to Have Deck Rail Sys) RetraxPRO EZ-Off FRC-4000

Full Canister Removal in Seconds: The RetraxPRO FRC-4000 Built for the 2024-2026 Toyota Tacoma 5ft Bed

The Retrax R-T-80870 RetraxPRO FRC-4000 brings the world's first EZ-Off retractable tonneau cover technology to 2024-2026 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab trucks equipped with the 5ft bed and factory Deck Rail System. The R-T-80870 uses Retrax's patented Quick-Click system to remove the entire canister from your bed in seconds without tools, delivering 100% full bed access, which is 21% more usable bed space than traditional retractable covers that leave the canister permanently in place. The double-wall polished aluminum slat construction supports over 500 lbs of static load, the TraxLatch key-lockable handle secures your cargo, and the spiral track system keeps slats from contacting your bed rails, preventing scratches. Whether you are heading to a trailhead with the TRD Pro or loading up gear for a camping run with the Trailhunter, the R-T-80870 delivers the utility and security your Tacoma demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

The R-T-80870 RetraxPRO FRC-4000 fits 2024-2026 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab trucks with the 5ft bed across all trims that offer the 5ft bed configuration, including SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited, Trailhunter, and TRD Pro. It is not compatible with the 6ft bed or with the XtraCab (TRD PreRunner) body style.

Yes. The R-T-80870 requires the factory Toyota Deck Rail System to be present on the truck. The cover mounts directly to the Deck Rail track, which is integrated into the Tacoma bed from the factory on many trims. If your truck does not have the Deck Rail System, it can be purchased separately through any Toyota dealer. No additional drilling to the truck bed is required beyond the Deck Rail System installation.

The FRC-4000 EZ-Off system uses Retrax's patented Quick-Click canister latches combined with integrated EZ-Off lift handles. To remove the canister, extend the cover fully, lift both handles simultaneously, click the release points, and lift the canister free from the Deck Rail track. The entire process takes seconds and requires no tools. Once removed, the canister's built-in feet allow it to stand upright for storage anywhere.

The double-wall polished aluminum slat construction supports over 500 lbs of evenly distributed static load. This allows you to carry gear, Rotopax fuel containers, overlanding equipment, or other cargo on top of the closed cover. Do not exceed the rated capacity or concentrate weight on a single slat.

The R-T-80870 features an integrated drain tube system that channels water collected on the cover surface out through the Tacoma bed rail drains. While no retractable aluminum cover is completely watertight in all conditions, the FRC-4000 is built to keep cargo dry during normal rain. Keep drain tubes clear for best performance.

Yes. The R-T-80870 includes the TraxLatch key-lockable handle that locks the cover closed at the tailgate end. When the canister is in place, the automatic canister latch also secures the leading edge of the cover, providing two independent locking points to protect your cargo. Two keys are included with the cover.

Compatibility with aftermarket bed accessories depends on the accessory's design and mounting position. Because the R-T-80870 uses the Deck Rail System, accessories that also mount to the Deck Rail System may not be compatible while the cover is installed. Consult Retrax's fitment guide or your dealer before combining with other Deck Rail-mounted accessories.

The FRC-4000 is the newer EZ-Off variant that allows the entire canister to be removed from the bed in seconds, giving you 100% unobstructed bed access. The older RetraxPRO MX leaves the canister in the bed permanently, reducing usable bed space when the cover is open. The FRC-4000's 21% additional access advantage makes it the better choice for Tacoma owners who frequently carry tall or oversized loads.

Yes. Once the canister is removed and stored, the spiral track side rails remain in the bed and the truck can be driven without the canister in place. This allows for maximum bed utility when carrying tall cargo, roof top tents, or oversized gear that would otherwise conflict with the canister. The cover reassembles in seconds when you are ready to use it again.

The R-T-80870 canister features integrated feet that allow it to stand upright on its own when removed from the truck. The padded soft-impact case around the canister also protects it during storage and protects surrounding surfaces. Most owners store the canister in their garage or truck bed when not in use.
