Premium One-Piece Aluminum Canopy | Solid Sides

Fully welded. Factory-built. Maximum privacy. No assembly required.

Built in South Africa. Shipped fully assembled. Ready to become the foundation of your Alu-Cab system.

WHY CONTOUR?

You Can See Where the Engineering Went.

A premium canopy should offer more than covered storage. The Contour combines a fully welded aluminum shell with formed exterior panels, integrated roof rails, large access openings and expedition-focused hardware into one finished canopy.

Its exterior is cleaner and more vehicle-integrated than a traditional utility canopy, while underneath that refined shape is the same kind of functional thinking Alu-Cab has built its reputation around: low weight, serious carrying capacity, excellent access and an extensive ecosystem of compatible equipment.

Fully Welded Construction

Built as a single welded aluminum structure for rigidity, durability and strong long-term sealing performance.

Formed Aluminum Exterior

Formed panels create the distinctive Contour profile and give the canopy a cleaner, more integrated appearance on modern trucks.

Solid Side Gullwings

Full-size solid aluminum side doors provide outstanding cargo access while keeping equipment concealed from outside view.

Integrated Roof Rails

A built-in foundation for compatible load bars, racks, rooftop tents, awnings and adventure equipment.

Dust Management

A front-mounted positive-pressure vent is designed to help reduce dust ingress while travelling off pavement.

Integrated Lighting

Three internal LED lights on swivel brackets make the cargo area easier to use after dark.

BUILT BEFORE IT GETS TO YOUR TRUCK

One Piece. Fully Welded. No Assembly Required.

The Contour is manufactured as a fully welded, one-piece aluminum canopy. It does not arrive as a collection of structural panels that must first be assembled into a canopy.

The roof, body structure, door openings and major structural components are already built into a complete unit before it reaches Cap-it or your truck.

Factory-built in South Africa. Crated for transport. Professionally fitted to your truck.

SOLID SIDE ADVANTAGE

What Goes in the Truck Stays Out of Sight.

Sometimes the best window is no window at all. Solid aluminum side doors keep tools, recovery equipment, luggage, camping gear and everyday cargo concealed from outside view while maintaining the large gullwing openings that make the Contour so easy to use.

Removing the side glass also creates a clean, uninterrupted interior door surface. For customers planning storage, MOLLE-style organization or a more purpose-built cargo system, that additional usable interior space can be a significant advantage.

ENGINEERED TO CARRY

Lightweight Canopy. Serious Roof Capacity.

Aluminum construction keeps canopy weight relatively low while the rigid roof structure and integrated rails provide the foundation for serious gear-carrying capability.

BUILT FOR REAL TRAVEL

Weather Protection Is More Than a Rubber Strip.

Alu-Cab builds multiple layers of weather and dust management into the Contour. A double door-seal system helps protect the cargo area from weather and debris, while centre-flex waterproof hinges are designed to reduce water dripping through the hinge area when the doors are raised in wet conditions.

At the front of the canopy, a positive-pressure air vent is designed to help reduce dust ingress while travelling on gravel roads and dusty trails.

A Note About Pickup-Bed Sealing

The canopy is only one part of the complete enclosure. Factory tailgates, bed seams and other truck-body openings may still allow water or dust into the pickup bed. Cap-it can assess your truck during installation and recommend additional bed or tailgate sealing where appropriate.

THE DETAILS ADD UP

Premium Details Are Built In.

Contour isn't premium because of one headline feature. It's the accumulation of thoughtful details that make the canopy easier to live with, easier to build around and better suited to serious truck use.

Integrated high-level brake light on Alu-Cab Contour Canopy

Integrated Third Brake Light

Roof Rack Ready

Integrated roof rails provide the foundation for compatible load bars, racks, rooftop tents and other adventure equipment.

Positive-pressure vent on Alu-Cab Contour Canopy

Which Alu-Cab Canopy Is Right for You?

Alu-Cab offers several canopy platforms because different truck owners prioritize different things. If you're already considering Alu-Cab, the question becomes which platform best matches the way you work, travel and use your truck.

ModCAP Canopy

Maximum Interior Storage + Weather-Focused Rear Access

ModCAP is intentionally squarer and more box-like to maximize usable interior volume. Its rear-door configuration replaces the truck's factory tailgate on applicable installations, creating walk-through rear access and removing one of a traditional pickup bed's most difficult areas to seal against weather and dust.

For customers whose priority is building the most usable enclosed cargo system possible, ModCAP takes the Alu-Cab concept in a different direction.

THE CANOPY IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

THE CAP-IT TAKE

Built Like a Premium Canopy Should Be.

The Contour isn't simply an aluminum box over the bed. The fully welded structure, formed body panels, integrated rails, double sealing, pressure vent, built-in lighting and carefully finished doors all point to the same thing: this canopy was engineered as a complete product.

The Solid Side configuration adds another practical advantage: the contents of the truck remain concealed while the uninterrupted side doors create more usable space for building an organized interior.

It arrives built. It looks like it belongs on the truck. And it provides the foundation for an entire Alu-Cab adventure system.

For customers who plan to keep the truck, use the canopy hard and build around it, Contour earns its place at the premium end of the category.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Alu-Cab Contour Solid Side Canopy FAQ

What is the Alu-Cab Contour Canopy made from? +

The Contour is built from aluminum using fully welded one-piece construction. Formed exterior panels create its modern profile while the welded structure provides rigidity and long-term durability.

Does the Alu-Cab Contour require assembly? +

No. The Contour is a fully welded, factory-built canopy and ships fully assembled. Installation onto the truck is still required, and professional installation is recommended.

How much does the Alu-Cab Contour Solid Side canopy weigh? +

The Solid Side Contour weighs approximately 57 kg / 126 lb. Exact weight may vary by vehicle application.

How much weight can the Contour carry on its roof? +

Current Contour specifications list a maximum static roof load of 400 kg / 881 lb and a maximum dynamic roof load of 200 kg / 440 lb. Always observe the ratings of the complete vehicle, rack, mounting system and mounted equipment.

Can I install a rooftop tent on the Alu-Cab Contour? +

Yes. The Contour includes integrated roof rails and can be configured with compatible load bars, roof systems and rooftop tents within the applicable load ratings.

Why choose the Solid Side Contour instead of Side Windows? +

Solid Sides provide greater cargo privacy, conceal equipment from outside view and create more uninterrupted interior door space for storage and organization. Side Windows are the better choice when natural light, outward visibility and adjustable ventilation are priorities.

What does the positive-pressure vent do? +

The front-mounted vent is designed to create positive pressure inside the canopy while travelling, helping reduce dust ingress on gravel roads and dusty routes.

Is the Alu-Cab Contour waterproof? +

The Contour is engineered for strong weather protection using a welded body, double door seals and centre-flex hinge design. However, the pickup bed and factory tailgate are also part of the complete enclosure and may allow water or dust to enter. Additional truck-bed sealing can be recommended where appropriate.

What is the difference between Contour, Explorer and ModCAP? +

Contour combines fully welded aluminum construction with a refined, vehicle-integrated exterior. Explorer uses Alu-Cab's classic expedition-focused canopy architecture. ModCAP is intentionally squarer to maximize interior volume and uses a different rear-access concept on applicable trucks.

What trucks does the Alu-Cab Contour Solid Side currently fit? +

Current applications include select Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Ford F-150, Ford Ranger, RAM 1500, Jeep Gladiator, Toyota Tacoma and Toyota Tundra trucks. Exact fitment depends on model year, generation and bed length.
