With vehicle prices remaining high, the role of “daily driver” is being redefined. For truck owners, their vehicles need to do a little bit of everything these days—from hauling gear at the work site and running errands around town, to ferrying the kids to soccer practice and heading out on weekend adventures. That’s where quality cargo management solutions like SmartCap come in, offering customizable options that go beyond what standard truck trims and packages can provide.
Designed for durability and flexibility, SmartCap allows you to tailor your truck bed to fit your exact needs, whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, busy professional, or someone who needs a rugged, all-in-one solution for both work and play. As the world’s first modular stainless steel truck cap system, it’s built to handle whatever you throw at it (and then some).

What Sets SmartCap Apart
SmartCap’s innovative design is packed with features that set it apart from other truck caps on the market. While durability and bed protection are key parts of its design, SmartCap ultimately prioritizes customization, making it the ultimate solution for truck owners who need a reliable, tough, and truly versatile cargo management system.
Here are three things that make it stand out:
SmartCap is a “modular” system.
This is a revolutionary approach to truck caps, as it offers unprecedented flexibility. The SmartCap is composed of five separate components—four sides and a roof—that can be easily assembled and disassembled as needed.
Thanks to this design, owners can pick and choose the pieces that best suit their needs. Whether they need vented windows for ventilation while camping, double-walled doors to protect tools, or an entire panel that opens into a mobile kitchen, SmartCap lets owners tailor the truck cap to their lifestyle.
The modular design also simplifies shipping, since the pieces can be packed in a compact box, and installation is a breeze once the product arrives. Additionally, individual parts can be swapped out if damaged, cutting down on repair costs and downtime.
SmartCap features a stainless-steel construction.
Traditional truck caps and camper shells are often made of fiberglass, which is durable but lacks the strength and accessibility that a stainless steel truck cap can provide. Fiberglass options are also shipped as a single large piece, making them complicated to transport and install.
SmartCap’s stainless steel construction not only supports nearly 50% more weight than fiberglass—up to 330 lbs. of gear while moving and 770 lbs. when parked—but it also won’t shatter like a glass vase if struck by a branch or other off-road hazard.
Plus, the strong, rugged design complements the tough look of modern trucks, unlike fiberglass caps which tend to soften lines and make trucks look like SUVs. The stainless steel construction allows for 17% taller side door openings too, making it easier to load and unload larger items and access gear.
SmartCap offers an extensive selection of accessories.
Thanks to its versatile design and wide range of plug-and-play accessories, SmartCap can evolve with its owner’s needs. Planning an off-grid adventure? Add a roof rack or swap in a camp kitchen panel. Need more organized storage space? SmartCap offers storage bins that transform part of the gullwing opening into compartmentalized cargo space. Taking cues from the Jeep and IKEA playbooks, this truck cap system is easily modifiable in nearly endless ways to suit any driver’s needs.
SmartCap Versions
SmartCap offers a range of pre-designed truck caps to start with, each crafted to meet specific needs. Once you select your base model, you can then personalize it by choosing from an extensive list of accessories and components to suit your lifestyle or work requirements. Let’s meet the lineup:
- EVO Sport: Ideal for recreational adventurers who want an all-around performer, this model balances durability, style, and functionality. The EVO Sport is a good place to start if you’re looking for a versatile truck canopy that adapts well to a variety of uses.
- EVOa Adventure: Equipped for off-road excursions with added durability, this model caters to the adventurous set with added features like double-walled solid gullwing side doors and integrated MOLLE panels. The EVOa Adventure is a great starting point for anyone who spends time off the beaten path and wants a rugged base for further customization.
- EVOc Commercial: Built for work, this model offers practical features for professional use like integrated roof rails, steel side doors, and an optional security screen. The EVOc Commercial is highly versatile in stock form, but can become a true workhorse with additional organizational accessories, like tool storage or a roller rack.
- EVOd Defender: The Fort Knox of truck canopies, this model offers extra protection for those who operate in extreme environments or rugged conditions. The EVOd Defender is great for adventurers who live off-grid or professionals who need to protect their cargo from would-be thieves.
SmartCap Accessories
After choosing a base model, you can then customize it with a variety of SmartCap accessories, allowing you to build out your truck cap to match your needs. These accessories are designed to work seamlessly with the core models, ensuring a “plug and play” upgrade scenario that won’t leave you scratching your head or shaking your fist during installation. Choose from the following categories to meet your storage, functionality, and lifestyle needs.
