The wait is almost over. Alu-Cab's premium aluminium Contour Canopy is coming to GM full-size trucks.
Built specifically for the 2019+ Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5'8" Short Bed, the new Contour brings Alu-Cab's proven lightweight construction, massive gullwing access, serious roof carrying capacity and overland-ready accessory ecosystem to one of Canada's most popular full-size truck platforms.
Available with Side Windows or Solid Sides. Expected Q1 2027.
FINALLY, FOR GM FULL-SIZE TRUCKS
The Contour Is Coming to Silverado & Sierra.
Silverado and Sierra owners have been waiting for this one.
Alu-Cab's Contour has earned its reputation by combining the strength and utility of an expedition canopy with a clean, modern design that looks like it belongs on the truck.
Now the Full-Size Contour is being developed for the 2019+ Silverado and Sierra 1500 short-bed platform, with Canadian availability expected Q1 2027.

Side Windows or Solid Sides.
BUILT DIFFERENT
More Than Something That Covers the Bed.
A traditional truck cap gives you covered storage. The Contour is designed to turn the entire truck bed into a more capable gear-carrying platform.
Full-width gullwing doors put your equipment within reach from either side. Integrated roof rails let you build upward. Interior lighting makes the space usable after dark. The positive-pressure vent helps manage dust on the trail.
Work truck Monday. Adventure truck Friday. One canopy built to do both.
The Details Are Built In.
ACCESS CHANGES EVERYTHING
Stop Crawling Into the Back of Your Truck.
The Contour uses large gullwing doors to open the sides of the canopy, giving you direct access to equipment throughout the truck bed.
Groceries, tools, camp kitchens, recovery equipment, storage boxes and luggage can all be reached from the side instead of requiring you to climb through the tailgate.
It's one of those features that sounds convenient on paper and completely changes how you use your truck once you've lived with it.
DON'T WASTE THE ROOF
400 lb Moving. 800 lb Parked.
The Contour canopy is built to carry serious equipment above the truck bed, with a published roof load capacity of 400 lb dynamic and 800 lb static.
Add Alu-Cab load bars and the roof becomes another part of the build, ready for rooftop tents, awnings, recovery equipment and other compatible gear.
BUILT FOR THE LONG HAUL
Expedition Construction. Everyday Usability.
Aluminium Construction
Lightweight, strong and corrosion-resistant construction designed around demanding vehicle use.
Rigid Formed Roof
A formed roof structure creates the strength required for serious gear carrying without turning the canopy into unnecessary dead weight.
Keyed-Alike Security
Tamper-resistant locks help keep tools, luggage and adventure equipment protected inside the truck bed.
Centre-Flex Hinges
Waterproof hinge construction helps prevent rainwater from entering through the canopy door hinges.
Double Door Seals
Designed to provide a robust seal around the canopy openings for demanding weather and trail conditions.
Black Powder-Coated Finish
Durable, understated and unmistakably Alu-Cab.

A Note About Weather Protection
The Contour canopy itself is designed to provide excellent protection from the elements. Your pickup bed, tailgate and factory body openings may still allow water or dust to enter. Ask your Cap-it location about truck-bed sealing options for maximum protection.
BUILD YOUR ALU-CAB
The Canopy Is Only the Beginning.
One of the biggest reasons to choose Alu-Cab is what comes next. The Contour is part of a complete vehicle-based adventure ecosystem built around storage, roof carrying, camping and overlanding.
Add load bars. Carry a rooftop tent. Mount an awning. Build out the interior with storage, kitchen and organization accessories. Configure the truck around the way you actually travel.

THE CAP-IT TAKE
We've Been Waiting for This One Too.
Silverado and Sierra owners haven't had access to the Contour platform, and that's left a pretty big hole in the Alu-Cab lineup.
This application changes that.
You get the everyday usefulness of a truck cap, the side access of a serious work canopy and the roof capacity and accessory ecosystem that make Alu-Cab such a strong platform for overlanding.
Keep it simple and use it as a lightweight secure canopy. Add load bars and a rooftop tent. Build an interior storage system. Add an awning and turn the truck into a travelling basecamp.
If you own a 2019+ Silverado or Sierra 1500 short bed and you've been waiting for a premium aluminium canopy built around both everyday truck use and adventure, this is the one we'd be watching.
