What Are Truck Caps?

Truck caps are also called camper shells, truck toppers, or bed caps. These accessories are designed to fit at a cab height over the bed of your truck. This makes them different from tonneau covers, which cover your bed but are flush with the bed rails.

Truck caps safely enclose the area over your truck bed, enabling you to store gear and tools without exposing them to thieves or bad weather.

Benefits of Truck Caps

Do you need a truck cap? Depending on your situation and what you use your truck for, there are many benefits to truck caps. Caps allow for more secure storage and also maximize storage in your bed versus tonneau covers.

Since they're enclosed, you can use truck caps as a convenient place to sleep when camping. Truck caps make your truck more aerodynamic, which can improve your fuel economy by decreasing drag. If you want extra covered space on your truck, then a truck cap might be a great choice for your needs.

Is It Easy to Remove Truck Caps?

You might be wondering how difficult it is to remove a truck cap if you need more height in your bed. The answer is that it varies. Truck caps aren't particularly heavy, but they are bulky. This bulkiness makes them somewhat difficult to remove for one person.

It's definitely a good idea to enlist some help to ensure that you don't damage your truck cap. If you need your truck bed more open or want to sell your cap, then removing it is fairly straightforward. However, due to the time and labor it takes to do so, you probably won't want to do it very often.
