Our truck cap lineup includes soft truck caps, expedition truck caps, and truck canopies designed for both recreational and work use. A truck cap for your Ford F-150 short bed converts your pickup into a weatherproof cargo hauler, while an expedition truck cap with roof rack turns your Tacoma or Tundra into an overlanding-ready platform. We carry the Bestop Supertop for Toyota Tacoma and other popular platforms — giving you a removable, lightweight truck topper that installs without drilling and folds down when not needed. If you are comparing a soft truck canopy vs hard truck cap, our soft shell options offer the advantage of lighter weight, easier removal, and faster setup for camping and trail access.
Soft Toppers, Expedition Caps & Canopies for Overlanding and Work
For truck owners who haul equipment during the week and camp on weekends, our truck caps pair directly with other products across the store. Secure your cargo area with a Bed Accessories bed liner or bed mat underneath your cap, and organize your loadout with Cargo Beds storage systems and drawer units. Mount a Headache Racks behind the cab for added load support, or add a Tool Boxes crossover box for secure tool storage alongside your cap. For fuel range on long trips, check our Fuel Storage auxiliary tanks and transfer tanks. Browse all work and commercial truck products under our Commercial collection.
Complete your truck build with a lift or leveling kit from Suspension, a trailer hitch and towing mirrors from Towing, or a set of off-road wheels and tires from Wheels. For tonneau covers, fender flares, and bumpers, browse Exterior. And for LED lighting, remote starters, and audio upgrades, check out Electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a soft and hard truck cap?
A soft truck cap uses a fabric or vinyl canopy stretched over a lightweight frame, making it easy to install, remove, and store when not in use. A hard truck cap is a rigid fibreglass or aluminum shell that bolts permanently to the truck bed and offers stronger security, better insulation, and higher weight capacity on the roof. Soft caps are ideal for truck owners who want flexibility between open bed and covered use, while hard caps suit full-time enclosed cargo needs.
Can you use a truck cap as a camping setup for overlanding?
A truck cap paired with a sleeping platform, bed mat, and interior lighting creates a fully enclosed camping setup without needing a rooftop tent or trailer. Expedition truck caps with roof rack mounting points let you carry additional gear, solar panels, or an awning on top. The Bestop Supertop is a popular overlanding choice because it installs and removes in minutes, giving you a covered sleep area on the trail and an open bed back at home.
Do truck caps or canopies improve fuel economy on pickup trucks?
A truck cap can improve aerodynamics by smoothing out the turbulence created by an open truck bed, which can reduce drag at highway speeds. The fuel economy improvement varies depending on the cap design, truck model, and driving speed, but most truck owners see a small gain in fuel efficiency compared to running an open bed — especially on highway-heavy routes.
Is a truck cap better than a tonneau cover for cargo protection?
A truck cap provides full enclosed protection with vertical cargo space, allowing you to stack taller items, lock valuables out of sight, and keep everything dry in rain, snow, and sleet. A tonneau cover protects the bed surface and keeps items below the bed rail line covered, but does not offer vertical space or the same level of security. If you need enclosed, lockable, weatherproof cargo space, a truck cap is the better option. For flat loads and everyday bed coverage, a Tonneau Covers is more practical.
How easy is it to remove and reinstall a truck cap by yourself?
Soft truck caps like the Bestop Supertop can be removed and reinstalled by one person in under 15 minutes using clamp-on mounting hardware — no drilling required. Hard truck caps are heavier and typically require two people to lift on and off, and may need bolt-on brackets for a secure fit. If you plan to switch between an open bed and covered use regularly, a soft truck topper offers the fastest and easiest removal and reinstallation process.
What is the best truck cap for winter weather and snow in Canada?
For Canadian winters, a hard truck cap with sealed edges, weather stripping, and a locking rear window provides the best protection against snow, ice, freezing rain, and road salt. Hard fibreglass caps shed snow easily and insulate better than soft options. If you need a removable option, the Bestop Supertop with its marine-grade fabric and sealed seams handles rain and light snow well, but a hard cap is the stronger choice for heavy snowfall regions and below-zero temperatures.
