Alu-Cab Explorer Canopy

fits 2006-2020 Nissan Frontier (5' Bed Only)
does not fit new body style 2021+ models

Designed for Adventure™, Adapted for the Frontier

Originally designed for the global-spec Nissan Navara D40, the Alu-Cab Explorer Canopy has been test-fitted on the North American 2005–2020 Nissan Frontier by the team at Cap-it and it's a near-perfect match. While not purpose-built for the Frontier platform, the canopy fits well with minor installation adjustments. A few quirks aside, it delivers the trusted Alu-Cab performance and durability expected by overlanders worldwide.

Important Fitment Note: This canopy was not specifically designed for the North American Frontier, but it installs cleanly with some adaptation. Reach out to your local Cap-it store for installation tips and professional assistance.
