Types of Truck Caps

Understanding your truck’s cab type makes it easier to find the correct cap, tonneau, or accessory.

Crew Cab
 Crew cabs offer four full size doors and the most passenger space. They are ideal for families, work crews, and anyone needing maximum interior room.

Extended Cab
 Extended cabs include two full size front doors and smaller rear doors. This design provides extra interior space behind the front seats without the larger footprint of a crew cab.

Standard Cab
 Standard or regular cabs feature two doors and a single front row of seating. This is the classic truck style with the largest bed length options and the simplest interior layout.

Measuring Your Truck Bed

Measuring your truck bed accurately ensures the cap or tonneau you choose will fit correctly. Measurements can vary between models and trims, so it is important to confirm the size before ordering.

How to measure your truck bed:

  1. Lower the tailgate.
  2. Measure from the inside of the bulkhead (front of the bed) to the inside edge of the tailgate.
  3. Write down the measurement and compare it to your truck’s advertised bed length.
  4. Confirm whether your truck is considered short bed, standard bed, or long bed based on the measurement.

Accurate measurements prevent ordering issues and ensure your new cap or cover installs smoothly.
