How Heavy Is a Truck Bed Cap?

A truck bed cap is a great way to protect your cargo from the elements, as well as from theft. But just how heavy is a truck bed cap?

The answer depends on the material it is made of, and what size and shape the cap is.

Truck bed caps are typically made of either fiberglass or aluminum. Fiberglass truck bed caps are generally lighter than aluminum ones, with a typical weight of around 70 pounds for a 6-foot long model.

Aluminum caps usually range from 90 to 150 pounds, depending on their size and shape.

The size and shape of the truck bed cap also plays an important role in determining its weight. A larger, more boxy shaped cap will be heavier than one that is smaller and more rounded in shape. The number of side windows on the cap can also make it heavier; these windows are usually made from tempered glass which adds extra weight.

Additionally, some types of truck bed caps come with accessories such as toolboxes or ladder racks which will add extra weight to the overall package. A truck bed cap can also be customized with extra features such as LED lights or cargo racks, which can increase its total weight.

Conclusion:

Overall, how heavy a truck bed cap is will depend on various factors such as the material it is made of, its size and shape, and whether or not it has any extra features or accessories added to it. On average, fiberglass caps weigh around 70 pounds while aluminum ones typically range from 90 to 150 pounds.
