Tkmato® Aluminum Expedition Canopy

Solid Gullwing Edition | Ford F-150 (5.5ft Bed) | 2015–2025

The Titanium of Truck Caps. Built for the mission, engineered for the journey.

The Aluminum Manifesto

Your F-150 was built with a high-strength, military-grade aluminum-alloy body. We believe your canopy should follow the same DNA. The Tkmato Aluminum Expedition Canopy is the definitive answer for owners who refuse to compromise between protection and performance.

By utilizing 6000-series aerospace aluminum, we deliver a structural fortress that weighs significantly less than traditional steel toppers. This means better fuel economy, superior handling, and more "leftover" payload for your actual gear.

Key Functional Pillars

🛡️ Stealth Security (Windowless Design)

• Out of Sight, Out of Mind: The solid aluminum side panels act as a visual deterrent. Your expensive power tools, recovery gear, and camping supplies remain invisible to prying eyes.

• Intrusion Proof: Unlike glass windows that can be shattered in seconds, our reinforced aluminum panels provide a physical barrier against forced entry.

🦅 Oversized Gullwing Access

• Edge-to-Edge Reach: The massive side doors utilize heavy-duty gas struts to lift effortlessly. Gain full access to the front of your truck bed without ever having to crawl inside.

• Dual-Locking Latches: Every door features high-security, weather-sealed locks with a unified key system.

🏗️ Heavy-Duty Modular Architecture

• Flat-Packed Precision: Our patented 5-piece modular design ensures the canopy can be shipped efficiently and assembled with simple hand tools.

• Trail-Ready Repairability: In the event of extreme trail damage, individual panels can be replaced independently. You no longer need to replace an entire canopy for one dent.

🏔️ Overland-Spec Load Rating

• Static Load (Parked): 850 lbs (385 kg) | Support a heavy-duty hardshell rooftop tent and three adults with zero structural deflection.

• Dynamic Load (Moving): 450 lbs (205 kg) | Confidently carry kayaks, lumber, or mountain bikes over corrugated washboard roads.

🌬️ Environment Control

• Positive Pressure Vent: A built-in filtered air vent creates higher pressure inside the bed than outside, effectively pushing dust out and keeping your gear clean on silt-filled desert trails.

• EPDM Triple-Seal: Automotive-grade weather stripping ensures a bone-dry interior, even during high-pressure car washes or tropical downpours.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How does the weight of the Tkmato canopy affect my truck's payload?

A: At approximately 135 lbs, our all-aluminum construction is one of the lightest heavy-duty options on the market. It preserves your F-150’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), allowing you to carry more gear without overstressing your suspension.

Q: Is the installation permanent? Do I need to drill into my truck?

A: No drilling is required. The canopy uses a proprietary heavy-duty J-Clamp system that secures the unit firmly to your bed rails, making it easy to remove if you need to return the truck to an open-bed configuration.

Q: Can I mount a Rooftop Tent (RTT) directly to the roof?

A: Absolutely. The canopy comes standard with integrated T-slot roof tracks. As long as you use compatible crossbars, it is designed to handle the most popular hardshell and softshell tents on the market.

Q: Is the canopy truly waterproof?

A: While no aftermarket canopy is 100% "submersible," we use high-grade EPDM automotive seals and a positive pressure vent to minimize water and dust intrusion. It is built to withstand extreme rain and snow.

Q: Can I use my factory remote to lock the canopy doors?

A: The canopy doors utilize manual high-security locks to ensure a fail-safe mechanical seal. This ensures your gear remains locked even if the vehicle’s electrical system is off or tampered with.
