The Ultimate Truck Bed Cover
An A.R.E. truck topper is a fiberglass shell that mounts over the truck bed (the open cargo area in a pickup truck) to fully enclose the space. A.R.E. is the industry’s leading manufacturer of truck caps and toppers for both commercial and personal use.
Constructed from thick, reinforced fiberglass, A.R.E.’s durable yet lightweight truck toppers are designed to protect your cargo from weather and theft while providing versatile enclosed hauling space. The sleek, aerodynamic fiberglass profile resists dents, won’t rust, and enhances fuel efficiency compared to open pickup beds.
