The TUWA PRO® XRC M Manual Retractable Aluminum Cover System – XRCM115 is a heavy-duty retractable tonneau cover developed for compatible Ford F-150 5.5 FT Short Bed 2009–2019 pickup trucks, combining robust aluminum construction, secure key-controlled operation, and a sleek, low-profile design.
Engineered for durability, functionality, and everyday convenience, the XRC M provides a practical solution for protecting the pickup truck's cargo area while maintaining convenient access through its manually operated retractable mechanism.
Unlike conventional soft tonneau covers, the TUWA PRO® XRC M features a rigid construction with thick, high-strength aluminum slats, engineered for structural strength and long-lasting durability.
Its full aluminum structural design, including aluminum frames and end caps, eliminates plastic structural components and reinforces the system's heavy-duty construction.
The cover operates through a manual retraction system with key-controlled locking, providing straightforward operation and secure closure without relying on an electric motor.
An important feature of the XRC M is its stainless steel canister, designed with a compact housing that helps preserve usable cargo space inside the truck bed.
The system also incorporates low-profile aluminum side rails measuring approximately 1.3 inches (33 mm), creating a clean, integrated appearance that complements the rugged styling of the Ford F-150.
With a specified 500 lb (227 kg) maximum evenly distributed load capacity, the XRC M combines rigid cargo protection with structural durability for demanding everyday applications.
As part of the TUWA PRO® XRC Cover Systems Collection, the XRCM115 offers a dependable manual retractable solution for Ford F-150 owners who prioritize strength, practical operation, and refined exterior styling.

Important Installation & Safety Information
Verify the Ford F-150 model year, body generation, cargo bed dimensions, and installation requirements before fitting the XRCM115.
This application is intended for compatible 2009–2019 Ford F-150 models equipped with the 5.5 FT Short Bed. Compatibility with 6.5-foot or 8-foot beds must not be assumed.
The specified model year range includes different Ford F-150 generations. Confirm compatibility separately for 2009–2014 and 2015–2019 configurations before installation.
Confirm fitment with factory-installed bed liners, cargo management systems, tonneau cover mounting points, and aftermarket accessories.
The XRC M uses low-profile aluminum side rails with integrated T-slot channels.
The specified 500 lb (227 kg) capacity applies to a maximum evenly distributed load, subject to the manufacturer's operating conditions and installation requirements.
Do not exceed the lowest applicable load rating of the cover system, mounting components, or vehicle.
Do not concentrate heavy loads in isolated areas of the cover or use the cover as a passenger-support surface.
Ensure the retractable mechanism operates freely and that the cover is properly secured before driving.
The cover helps reduce exposure to common environmental conditions but should not be considered completely waterproof unless separately certified.
Follow the manufacturer's installation, operation, loading, and maintenance instructions.
