What is the GullWing Caps warranty?
Limited lifetime on structural; 2 years on finish & for moving parts.
Will this truck cap fit my truck's year, make, model, and bed size?
GullWing truck caps are designed for specific vehicle makes, models, generations, and bed lengths to ensure a secure and precise fit. Select your truck's year, make, model, and bed size using the product options before ordering. If you're unsure about compatibility, contact our team or use our truck configurator to verify your vehicle's specifications.
What is the difference between the MOLLE Panel, Sliding Window, and Smooth Side truck caps?
GullWing Caps offers three configurations to suit different needs:
- MOLLE Panel: Designed for utility and overlanding, featuring external mounting panels for compatible tools, recovery equipment, and accessories.
- Sliding Window: Features integrated sliding side windows that provide ventilation and natural light.
- Smooth Side (AeroWing): Offers a streamlined appearance with smooth exterior side panels and an integrated aerodynamic-style.
All three configurations feature GullWing's aluminum construction and convenient side-access design.
How much weight can the truck cap roof support?
GullWing truck caps have a specified static roof load capacity of up to 750 lbs and dynamic load capacity of 550 lbs, making them suitable for many rooftop camping and equipment setups.
Static capacity applies when the vehicle is stationary. Dynamic capacity applies while driving.
NOTE: Always consider the weight limits of the cap, roof rack, mounting hardware, and vehicle.
Can I install a rooftop tent on this truck cap?
Yes. GullWing aluminum truck caps are designed to support compatible rooftop tent setups when installed using suitable roof racks and mounting hardware.
Before installation, confirm that the combined weight of the tent, racks, and other equipment remains within the applicable dynamic and static load ratings of the lowest dynamic weight limit accessory. Always follow the rooftop tent manufacturer's installation requirements.
Is the truck cap waterproof and suitable for rain, snow, and Canadian winters?
GullWing truck caps are designed for outdoor use in a variety of weather conditions, including rain, snow, and various extreme temperatures. Their aluminum construction and weather-sealing components help protect cargo from the elements.
Proper installation, alignment, and seal maintenance are essential to maintaining weather resistance. As with any other truck caps, complete watertightness under all conditions cannot be guaranteed due to unforeseen errors in installation, assembly, and unknown factors. For best results, seek professional installation support.
How much does the truck cap weigh?
GullWing aluminum truck caps generally weigh approximately 70–90 kg (160–220 lbs), depending on the vehicle fitment, bed length, and selected configuration.
Additional accessories, roof racks, and mounted equipment increase the total weight. Refer to the product specifications or contact us to confirm the weight of your specific model.
Can I install the truck cap myself, or is professional installation required?
GullWing truck caps can be assembled and installed using the appropriate tools, equipment, and model-specific instructions; in any event, they are an easy and non-drill installation process. Installation involves basic tools, positioning and securing the cap to the truck bed, checking door alignment and seals, and connecting the integrated third brake light (where applicable).
Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fitment, electrical connections, and secure mounting. Due to the cap's size and weight, multiple people and suitable lifting equipment may be required.
Does installation require drilling or permanent modifications to my truck?
Installation requirements depend on the truck model, bed configuration, and mounting hardware. GullWing caps are designed for easy DIY secure attachment to compatible pickup truck beds without drilling.
Some vehicles may require additional mounting provisions or electrical wiring work. Review the installation instructions for your exact vehicle before installation.
What materials are used to construct the truck cap?
GullWing truck caps feature a durable, powder-coated aluminum construction designed to balance strength, weight, and corrosion resistance.
The design includes double-skinned aluminum panels, gullwing-style side-access doors, tinted rear glass, and integrated locking mechanisms. Aluminum construction makes the cap suitable for recreational, commercial, and overlanding applications.
What is included with the truck cap purchase?
Each GullWing truck cap includes the main canopy assembly components for the selected model and configuration, including its side doors or window panels, rear glass assembly, locking mechanisms, and integrated third brake light.
Mounting components and other supplied hardware are included and depend on the specific truck. Roof racks, rooftop tents, and other optional accessories are sold separately unless specifically listed as included.
Can I mount roof racks, crossbars, cargo boxes, or other accessories?
Yes. GullWing truck caps are designed to accommodate compatible roof-mounted accessories, including roof racks, crossbars, rooftop tents, and certain cargo-carrying equipment.
Accessory compatibility depends on the mounting system, roof dimensions, hardware, and weight restrictions. Confirm compatibility and applicable load ratings before installing equipment, particularly when using accessories from third-party manufacturers.
How secure are the truck cap doors and locking mechanisms?
GullWing caps feature lockable gullwing-style side doors and a rear access system designed to help protect stored tools, camping equipment, and cargo.
Their aluminum construction and locking hardware provide an additional layer of security compared with an uncovered truck bed. Although lockable, no truck cap is completely theft-proof, and valuable items should always be secured appropriately.
Can I mount recovery boards, tools, or accessories to the MOLLE panels?
Yes. The GullWing MOLLE Panel configuration is designed to provide external mounting options for compatible accessories such as recovery boards, tools, and other overlanding equipment.
Use mounting brackets and hardware appropriate for the accessory. Check the approved load rating of the MOLLE panel and mounting points before installation, and ensure that mounted equipment does not interfere with door operation or vehicle safety.
Does the truck cap have ventilation or sliding windows?
Ventilation features depend on your selected GullWing configuration.
The Sliding Window model features operable side windows that provide airflow and natural light within the truck bed. The MOLLE Panel and Smooth Side configurations use different side-panel designs and do not include the same sliding-window ventilation feature as standard.
Choose the Sliding Window model if ventilation is a priority for camping, pets, or recreational use.
What warranty comes with the truck cap?
GullWing Caps provides warranty information covering eligible products and manufacturing defects, subject to the applicable warranty terms.
Warranty eligibility, coverage periods, and exclusions may vary by component or product. Review the warranty policy supplied with your purchase or contact our team for the current coverage details before ordering.
How long does shipping take, and do you deliver across Canada and the United States?
GullWing Caps serves customers across Canada, with shipping arrangements depending on product availability, destination, and freight requirements.
Certain models are available by preorder, with estimated lead times generally ranging from one to two to four months. United States delivery inquiries can be reviewed individually. Contact our team for current availability, shipping estimates, and any applicable cross-border charges before ordering.
