If you want a versatile upgrade for your custom off-road truck, a bed replacement system is the way to go. Bed replacement lets you replace the stock box on your truck with a better bed that’s ready for hard work, hard play, and whatever the trail throws at it. Made by one of the powerhouses in performance truck caps, the new SmartCap Bed Replacement options are turning heads with aggressive designs that are engineered for demanding off-roaders who want to get more from their truck and the wheeling they do in it.

It’s Not That Your Stock Bed Is Bad

The engineers that designed your truck built a box on the back end because that’s what the majority of truck owners need. You have a comfortable cab and a bed with walls that is ready to haul dirt, help your brother-in-law get a sofa across town, or get your gear to the campsite. Some truck owners add a canopy that encloses the bed, giving them a space to keep gear stored, dry, and secure. Others lose the box in favor of a fabricated flatbed that’s perfect for oversized equipment. A bed replacement system takes the process a step further by replacing your stock box with a purposefully designed and manufactured alternative that gives your cargo space more options and flexibility.

SmartCap Builds a Better Bed

We’re big fans of the SmartCap EVO line of truck caps. Built to withstand the rigors of the South African desert, these caps are built differently than the fiberglass and aluminum shells many truck owners are used to. Built with a modular stainless steel design and industry-leading features, their versatility is extended by modular SmartComponents that let you add cargo organization, extra accessories, or even a full camp kitchen. The SmartCap Bed Replacement System takes this same attention to detail and turns it toward reimagining what a truck box can be.

SmartCap Bed Replacement System: Flat Bed

The foundation of the bed replacement system is an upgraded flatbed that gives you better exit angles, more clearance for big wheels and tires, and an integrated full-length drawer storage system. Made from stainless steel, this new bed is meant to maximize your space, with a wide platform surrounded by anchor points to keep your gear firmly strapped down. In addition to the full-length slide-out drawer, two side bins sit behind the rear wheel wells to give you more secured storage space. At the front of the bed, a full headache rack protects the gab and offers more real estate for flexible mounting and cargo securement. Aside from the versatility it offers on its own, the flatbed serves as the platform for the rest of SmartCap’s bed replacement packages.

SmartCap Bed Replacement System: Drop Sides

Sometimes a flatbed just won’t cut it, which is why you can add a drop-side box to your bed replacement system when you need a box that’s better than stock. Drop sides give you strong stainless steel bed walls that you can drop down for easier loading and unloading. Strong steel latches secure the bed walls when you’re ready to roll, and the whole modular package is easy to install onto the flatbed. 

SmartCap Bed Replacement System: SmartCap XL

Finally, you can add the optional SmartCap XL cap to your bed replacement system. Offering 74 cubic feet of internal space, this large, rugged canopy takes the same features that made the SmartCap brand and its EVO line a phenomenon and super-sizes them. To add to your storage options, the XL has a universal mounting bracket system that lets you secure more gear for the roughest trails. The enclosure is water-tight, dust-proof, and kept ventilated with a positive pressure vent to keep the air fresh on the trail or at the campsite. With modular all stainless steel production, massive gullwings on each side, and the ability to support up to 770 pounds on the integrated roof rails, it’s ready for a bigger off-roading lifestyle.

The Features You Expect From SmartCap

If some of the engineering and materials used in the bed replacement system sound familiar, that’s because they’re what made SmartCap’s EVO truck caps so popular. It all starts with automotive-grade stainless steel panels, similar to the body panels your truck manufacturer used to create your vehicle. The result is a stronger and more durable replacement bed than aftermarket fabrications using common steel or aluminum paneling. They coat this stainless steel with an automotive-grade satin paint finish that can be primedand painted to match your vehicle’s OEM finish, coated in your favorite bed liner, or left the aggressive black it comes as from the factory.

While the parts and coat are incredibly resilient, the modular nature makes each component easy to install and remove. You can completely transform the bed replacement system from a flatbed design to a fully featured cap or versatile drop-side box in under an hour. If a component is damaged, you can simply replace the component rather than the entire SmartCap Bed Replacement unit. It’s also backed by a 3-year limited warranty, protecting your investment.
