I am trying to find a cover like the Retrax that has t-slots that go the full length of the cover sides. I know EGR makes one for ONLY $3500, but I have no interest in that price tag nor the electric function.
Truck Covers USA only over rails that stop at the canister lid endcap, and Roll n Lock appears the same way.

Any options other than EGR?

Roll-N-Lock has a retractable with the t-slot available for the Gladiator. It is the M series XT model.
I have not heard how it is holding up in the real world and would like to hear from any present users. I am looking at this one with the Xtrusion overland rack system. Sorry, i missed the rails going all the way (most are limited because of the canister to roll the cover into).
I have reached out to Retrax and they do not have anything in the immediate future for the Gladiator due to the space taken by the fuel filler in the box of the Gladiator)

Ur next best bet will probably be the Bak x4s. I will probably soon get rid of my upper Decker in favor of this one. Then add an xtrusion rack since they make a bracket for the x4s. Also allows an extra 6-8" of length to the rack.

So far so good on my roll n lock. I run a CVT mt shasta on it and so far holding up fine. I don't do a lot of heavy duty rock crawling though.

I know you are looking for a retractable vs a roll up, but the BAK Revolver X4s has been awesome with the Xtrusion-Overland rack.

Are the BAK X4S tracks metal? I am curious about side push-out or longer term issues with weight over time. Do you know if there is a weight limit to the t-tracks?

I am kind of to the point where I wonder if it is possible to add a plate with mounts to the trail rail system that a cover could sit on top of. There are a lot of considerations, but I am worried about exceeding the designed weight capacity and causing failure

The tracks are aluminum. I never got an official answer about weight limit on the T-slots. I worked with Xtrusion-Overland on the X4s brackets, and I think they were told it would hold whatever the rack would. 🤣

I haven't had much weight on mine yet, but expecting to start mounting stuff over the next month. Won't need a roof top tent for a while still, so won't be fully loaded.

I'm also looking for a rolling tonneau with the t slots, but right now we are out of luck. Hopefully something comes out soon. I already have the Yakima Overhaul HD, but the tonneau brackets are still back ordered, so I have time to wait for the tonneau. I just hope I find something by winter.

the Bax Revolver seems good enough... but i feel like a ton of people have reported issues with it. I'd like something more durable.

I’ve been looking at the xtrusion rack. What height did you go with ? Was trying to find the best option to go with for the hard top and soft top. Didn’t want the soft top hitting anything when folded back.

I believe mine is a 22" rack, it sits maybe 1" below to high point of the soft top. Plenty of room with the soft top back with it barely touching.

Has anyone tried the Bak X4s with Yakima outpost towers .. trying to find out if you can fully open the cover with the outpost towers (is there enough clearance)?

How is it holding up? I had a retrax pro on my tundra and the overhaul racks. I kept the rack when I traded in the tundra, but I was disappointed to learn retrax doesn’t make a retrax for the gladiator. Excited to see this. Would love to hear how it’s worked out?

so far it's holding up good. I had the retrax pro on my silverado and also kept the racks.
