Toyota Tundra Truck Cap | ARE Premium Fiberglass Caps
Our CX Series truck cap transforms your Toyota Tundra bed into secure, weather-sealed cargo space without sacrificing the truck's bold exterior lines. Built from hand-laid fiberglass with a full perimeter seal system, this cap fits all Tundra bed lengths from 2014 to current model years.
Every cap ships paint-matched to your Tundra's factory color code and includes tinted sliding side windows with screens, a rear lift glass, and integrated LED dome lighting. The low-profile design maintains fuel efficiency while adding 40+ cubic feet of protected storage capacity.
Construction & fit details
Fiberglass construction & paint-matching process
We hand-lay every fiberglass panel in our manufacturing facility, building up resin and mat layers to create a shell that flexes with your truck frame instead of cracking under road stress. The gel-coat surface accepts automotive-grade paint applied in temperature-controlled booths using your Tundra’s exact factory color code.
Our paint lab stocks pigment formulas for over 200 Toyota exterior colors spanning three generations of Tundra models. When you provide your truck’s VIN or color code at checkout, we mix a batch that matches the metallic flake density and clear-coat depth of your factory finish. The result is a cap that looks like it rolled off the assembly line as original equipment.
Weatherproofing & seal system
Full perimeter bulb seal
A continuous EPDM rubber bulb seal runs along every edge where the cap meets your truck bed rail. This seal compresses when you clamp the cap down, forming an air-tight barrier that keeps highway rain and trail dust out of the bed. We include stainless steel clamps at eight mounting points that distribute pressure evenly across the seal.
Window & door seals
Sliding side windows ride on felt-lined tracks with compression weatherstripping at every edge. The rear lift glass seals against a molded rubber gasket when closed, and hydraulic struts hold it open at any angle for loading oversized cargo. All glass panels are tinted to match your Tundra’s factory privacy glass and include removable insect screens.
Bed length compatibility & installation
This cap design accommodates all three Tundra bed configurations: the 5.5-foot short bed found on CrewMax models, the 6.5-foot standard bed on Double Cab trucks, and the 8.1-foot long bed option. We manufacture separate molds for each length to ensure the cap sits flush with your cab’s rear window line and tailgate contour.
Installation requires no drilling or permanent modification to your truck. The included clamp system bolts into your existing bed rail stake pockets, and foam bed rail tape protects your paint from contact wear. Most owners complete installation in 45 minutes using basic hand tools. Weight varies by bed length from 165 pounds for the short bed to 215 pounds for the long bed model.

Common questions about Tundra truck caps
No, our Tundra caps install using a clamp system that bolts into your factory bed rail stake pockets. You don't drill any new holes in the truck bed or bed rails. The clamps distribute mounting pressure across eight points, and adhesive-backed foam tape protects your paint where the cap contacts the bed rail. The entire installation reverses in minutes if you ever need to remove the cap.
You'll need to remove any tonneau cover before installing the truck cap, since both products mount to the same bed rail surface. The cap completely replaces the tonneau's function by providing full-height enclosed storage instead of low-profile bed coverage. If you use a spray-in bed liner, the cap installs directly over it without any compatibility issues.
We can paint-match any factory Toyota color including limited-edition TRD Pro colors like Army Green, Lunar Rock, and Solar Octane. For custom wraps or aftermarket paint jobs, we recommend ordering the cap in the closest factory color and having your wrap installer extend the vinyl onto the cap. Our smooth gel-coat surface accepts vinyl wrap without any special prep work.
Most owners report either neutral or slightly improved highway fuel economy after installing our low-profile fiberglass cap. The aerodynamic design smooths airflow from the cab roofline to the tailgate, reducing the turbulence created by an open bed. City driving economy remains unchanged since low-speed aerodynamics matter less than vehicle weight and stop-and-go acceleration patterns.
Fiberglass caps like our CX Series offer paint-matching capability, better sound insulation, and no condensation buildup since fiberglass doesn't conduct temperature like metal does. Aluminum caps from our commercial MX Series cost less and weigh about 40 pounds lighter, but they only come in textured black or white finish. Contractors often prefer aluminum for the integrated ladder racks and tool storage, while personal-use buyers typically choose fiberglass for the finished appearance.
Yes, the interior ceiling includes four recessed aluminum mounting tracks rated for 150 pounds of dynamic load capacity. You can bolt crossbars, kayak saddles, or bike trays directly into these tracks without drilling through the fiberglass roof panel. We also offer a complete roof rack system designed specifically for this cap that includes aerodynamic crossbars and quick-release mounting hardware.
Our three-year structural warranty covers fiberglass shell defects including gel-coat cracking, delamination, and stress fractures. Paint is covered for one year against fading, peeling, or color mismatch from the factory application. Normal wear from UV exposure, road debris, and environmental factors isn't covered, but our automotive-grade paint typically maintains its finish for 8-10 years with basic washing and waxing maintenance.
