How to Choose the Right Fiberglass Truck Cap

When it’s time to purchase a truck cap, whether it be for personal or commercial use, it is important to find in the right to suit your needs. The main reason to buy a truck cap is to create a larger storage space that’s weatherproof and secure. Fiberglass truck caps are the best way to create more usable space in the bed of your truck. As the trusted name in fiberglass truck caps for Aurora and the surrounding areas, we would like to help you find the right one for your unique needs. 

 

As you know fiberglass truck caps can transform your truck bed into an enclosed space for weather-resistant transportation. Having the space enclosed with a customized fiberglass truck cap also allows for the secure transportation of possessions when moving from one location to another. You can confidently leave your items unattended by locking the cap. But how do they compare with aluminum truck caps? For on, aluminum truck caps are almost always white. However, fiberglass truck caps can be painted to match your truck’s factory paint job. And over time, aluminum toppers (especially the least expensive toppers) tend to look dingy and dented. Fiberglass offers a completely seamless look while providing excellent protection for your truck bed. 

 

Ready to shop fiberglass truck caps? Here are some things to consider in order to find the right one to meet your needs: 

• If you need access to the entire truck bed, you probably want a topper with side-opening windows. 
• If you have expensive gear then you’ll need a secure truck cap. Defeating a simple cam lock on a basic topper is easy as can be, which is why most commercial systems use heavy-duty steel or aluminum locking mechanisms. There are also locking drawers, toolboxes, etc. available. 
• If you need room to stand, crouch, or for tall cargo, you’ll want a “high rise” topper that advertises lots of headroom and/or a tall design. 
• If you own a business, you’ll likely want a commercial truck cap. Not only are contractor-grade fiberglass truck caps available, but modifying your existing cap to a work vehicle can easily be done. A locking side toolbox is another great addition for a contractor. 
• If you want to mount something to the roof of your topper, you’ll want a topper and roof rack. Ready to find the right truck cap for you?
