WOLFBOX SmartSlide Electric Tonneau: Is This A Worthy F150 Lightning Add-On?

While gasoline pickup trucks have had the lion's share of the 'fun' when it comes to add-on aftermarket accessories, we're seeing more and more companies develop components that fit electric models. And while it's now been discontinued, the Ford F150 Lightning remains one of the easier trucks to retrofit — its bed and BoxLink hardware are shared with its ICE siblings, so most aftermarket gear built for a regular F-150 will fit right on.

For the past two-and-a-half years, we've rocked the Retrax Pro XR tonneau cover — but one feature we've missed is the ability to open and close it from the rear of the truck. So when WOLFBOX asked if we'd like to review its newest tonneau cover — a fully-electric, app-capable, remote-controlled single-wall aluminum cover — we said "sure".

But coming from what is, to many, one of the best tonneau covers on the market, how does the WOLFBOX actually hold up? Is it easier to install? Is it quieter to operate? And what about that RGB light? The answers aren't all straightforward.
