What sets SmartCap apart
SmartCap isn't just a truck cap. It's a modular, stainless steel system engineered around every job — hauling gear, mounting a rooftop tent, weatherproofing your bed, or locking down valuable cargo.
Made of steel
Forged from automotive-grade stainless steel. Holds up to 330 lbs when moving and a whopping 770 lbs when parked — enough for a full rooftop tent under the stars.
Modular design
5-piece design that ships directly to your home or dealer. Dent the roof? Just swap that piece. Your SmartCap stays as good as new.
Gullwing doors
The Gullwing Door openings are around 17% taller than the average fiberglass canopy window — real easy access to cargo or SmartSystem accessories.
Weather proof
Innovative sealing method makes the SmartCap watertight when properly installed. Your cargo stays dry through the worst weather Mother Nature can throw at you.
Push button latching
Low-profile latching mechanism opens with a button press. All three doors are keyed alike for easy access and secure cargo.
Positive pressure air vent
The Positive Pressure Air Vent filters fresh air INTO the cap faster than the bed tries to suck dust in — keeping the road dust outside your gear.
Easy removal
The SmartCap comes off or on in just 15 minutes — giving you the ability to haul taller loads whenever you need to.
Universal roof rails
Integrated Roof Rails let you attach SmartCap accessories or your existing rack system — rooftop tents, bikes, kayaks, ladders, whatever you're carrying.
Standard front slider
Front slider window comes standard on EVO Sport caps — reach through from the cab to grab whatever you need without stepping out.
