OVS Truck Caps, Rooftop Tents & Overland Gear — Build the Whole Rig

Both share the same steel 5-piece construction, full wing doors, integrated roof rails, and 325 lb dynamic / 750 lb static crossbar ratings. The Expedition Pro+ adds full-window wing doors and a full-window rear hatch for maximum visibility and light, while the standard Expedition keeps more of the cap solid for security and privacy. See the full side-by-side comparison above.

Yes. Add OVS crossbars to the cap’s integrated roof rails and the cap becomes a rooftop-tent platform. Keep the combined weight of the tent, crossbars, and anything else on the roof under the 325 lb dynamic rating while driving. Parked, the 750 lb static rating covers the tent and the people sleeping in it.

Dynamic load is the weight a rack can safely carry while the vehicle is moving — bumps, braking, and cornering multiply forces. Static load is what it can hold while parked. That’s why the static rating (750 lb) is much higher than the dynamic rating (325 lb) on OVS crossbars.

Not on most trucks. Expedition caps use a no-drill clamping system and typically install in one to two hours. Toyota Tacoma applications require one small hole to route wiring for the third brake light.

OVS Expedition caps are built for specific applications, including the Toyota Tacoma and Tundra, Ford F-150, Super Duty, Ranger, and Maverick, Chevy Silverado and Colorado, GMC Sierra and Canyon, Ram 1500 and HD, and Jeep Gladiator. They are not compatible with Ram RamBox beds or GM CarbonPro beds. Send us your year, make, model, and bed length and we’ll confirm fitment before you buy.

The Expedition caps use perimeter bulb seals and sealed access points to keep weather out, plus a built-in vent near the cab-side glass to reduce condensation and improve airflow. As with any cap, correct installation and periodic seal checks are key to keeping the bed dry.

A 180° awning covers one side or the rear of the truck and is lighter and quicker to deploy — great for weekend trips and tight campsites. A 270° awning wraps from the side around the back, creating a much larger covered area for cooking and hanging out. If you camp for multiple days or travel with a group, the 270° is worth it.

That’s the OVS formula: expedition-level features — steel construction, stainless hardware, published load ratings, and a lifetime cap warranty — at a price that lets you finish the whole build. It’s a strong fit for travelers who want real capability and would rather put the savings toward the trip.

OVS Expedition caps carry a limited lifetime warranty covering manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship. Glass is excluded. Warranty terms for tents, awnings, and recovery gear vary by product — check each listing or ask us.

Yes — awnings mount to the crossbars on the cap’s roof rails using the appropriate mounting brackets. Account for the awning’s weight in your rooftop load total. Tell us your setup and we’ll confirm the right brackets.

We do. If you find a lower price on an identical, in-stock item from an online competitor or local store (including shipping and fees), we’ll meet or beat it. See our Price-Match Pledge for full details.
