Wait, are these a Canopy or a Truck Cap? A Topper? Truck Camper? What's the difference?

Don't worry if you see these RLD Design Truck Caps called a 'canopy' or 'topper' or 'stainless cab' elsewhere- RLD truck canopies, truck caps, and truck toppers are all the same fantastic RLD product. Different regions tend to go for different names, just like 'soda' vs. 'pop' (or 'coke'). Here in California, most people refer to structures covering the truck bed as a truck cap, but on the east coast you'll often hear topper. In South Africa, where RLD Design is based, they go with canopy. The only exception to these synonyms is 'truck camper', which typically refers to more of a truck bed mountable mini-RV.

Customize your Gladiator RLD Canopy with these Optional Upgrades for your Truck Topper

PLEASE NOTE: Aside from window upgrades and powder coat color upgrades, the following optional customizations do not come pre-installed. As always, Rhino Adventure Gear is happy to assist with installation at either of our two California showrooms (located near San Francisco and San Diego).

The Customized Upgrade Options for RLD Gladiator Caps described below can be ordered by reaching out for a quote (see details below).

Rear Window Delete Option ($99.99)

RLD Truck Caps come standard with a rear window. If you prefer a metal door instead of the glass window, do a rear window delete. Your topper will then have a solid metal rear door (black in color by default) in place of of the standard window in the back.

Side Window Options ($199.99 for fixed windows; $299.99 for sliding windows)

RLD Truck Caps come standard with solid doors on the sides of the topper. If you want side windows instead of doors (Windows can be great if you plan on sleeping in the bed of your Gladiator), you can choose from fixed windows or sliding windows.

Basic Side Cabinets ($199.99 for half length; $249.99 for full length)

The Basic Side Cabinets come empty inside and are powder coated black. If you're looking for a more extensive cabinet set up for your RLD canopy, you'll want to go with the kitchen kit instead (which also includes cabinets but comes stocked with additional equipment as well- see below). Available for the Driver Side, Passenger Side, or both sides of your Gladiator. To be clear, cabinets are accessed from the exterior of the canopy via the gull-wing side doors (this isn't an interior, RV-style camper-style kitchen "cabinet").

Upgraded Side Kitchen Kit ($1199.99 for half length; $1599.99 for full length)

RLD's Upgraded Kitchen Kit consists of a side cabinet that is stocked with everything you need for 6 place settings while camping. Within the cabinet, RLD includes a secure foam insert with custom cut outs to store the the dishware rattle-free, and an integrated drop-down table which can be used for food prep or to hold your stove (all black powder coated stainless steel). Cabinets for the Upgraded Kitchen Kit can go on the Driver Side or Passenger Side (or both, if you so desire).

Dishware for 6 people included in the Upgraded Kitchen Kit consists of plastic large plates, small plates, bowls, & coffee cups; as well as metal forks, knives, spoons & teaspoons. Six glass drinking glasses are also included.

Lion Box Rail Slider Kit ($399.99 for just the rails; $504.99 for the rails w/3 Lion Boxes)

These rails provide convenient side access to your RLD Design Lion Boxes and mount across the width of the cap, close to the roof in order to maximize storage space. Please note, rails are not compatible with full-length cabinets on both sides of vehicle, as this would eliminate the ability to access the boxes mounted on the rail.

RAL Color Powder Coat ($349.99)

Want to add a color to your Gladiator Cap besides Black, White, or Gray? Great! There are several ways you can go about this. You can color the doors, or you can color the frame of the cap (everything but the doors).

Choose from any RAL color for the powder coating (you will specify the RAL color code when you complete the form to get your quote). You can choose whether 1) you want to apply the RAL color to the doors and go with a standard black or gray cap frame; OR 2) you want to apply the RAL color to the cap frame and have the standard black doors. Please note, choosing a RAL color is not the same as custom paint-matching your truck's color, which is also available (see below).

Custom Paint-Match Powder Coat ($599.99)

RLD Design can also paint-match the color of your Gladiator for an aesthetically pleasing, custom appearance. You can choose whether 1) you want the doors of the truck cap to be paint-matched to your vehicle and go with a standard black or gray cap frame; OR 2) you want to use the paint-matching power coat on the cap frame and have standard black doors.

PLEASE NOTE: The color you select for the doors also applies not just to the side doors, but also the rear door of the truck cap that surrounds the rear window.

Additional Truck Cap Equipment Available From RLD Design

Platform Roof Rack

Just like the canopy, RLD Platform Rack Systems are constructed of powder coated stainless steel. Utilize the strength and durability of your RLD stainless cab with an equally well-built, matching rack system. The RLD roof rack fits seamlessly on the RLD topper, no modifications necessary, just a simple bolt-on installation. Please see RLD Platform Rack page for photos and more details.

Load Bar Kit Cross Bar Roof Rack

RLD load bars are cross bars engineered to complement the contours of the reinforced ribbing of the RLD stainless steel caps. This allows for footless mounting and a low profile cross bar system. Check out the RLD Load Bar Kit page for more information.

Lion Box Rail Slider Kit

Keep the interior of your RLD Canopy organized and functional with a Lion Box Rail Slider kit for your truck bed. Includes a stainless steel rail slider shelf that spans the width of the cap, near the front end; closest to the passenger area of your truck. Three or four Lion Boxes (similar to ammo can storage boxes) fit on the slider. Stowing storage boxes up on the rail slider allows you to utilize the overhead space deep in the bed. Lion Boxes are accessed through the gull-wing doors on either side of the canopy. Please see RLD Lion Box Rail Slider Kit page (coming soon!) for photos and more details on options and construction information.
