Tkmato® Aluminum Expedition Canopy
Stealth Solid Series | Toyota Tundra (5.5ft Bed) | 2015–2026
Maximum Security. Absolute Privacy. Zero Compromise.
The Aluminum Advantage
Built to complement the legendary toughness of the Toyota Tundra, the Tkmato Aluminum Expedition Canopy moves beyond the limitations of fragile fiberglass and heavy steel. Engineered from High-Strength Structural Aluminum, this canopy offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio that preserves your Tundra's payload and fuel economy while providing a literal fortress for your cargo.
The Stealth Solid Series is designed for the serious professional and the dedicated overlander. By removing side windows, we’ve created a sleek, tactical look that offers total privacy and unmatched security for your expensive gear.
Key Functional Pillars
🔒 Stealth Security (No Side Windows)
-
Absolute Privacy: The solid aluminum side panels act as a permanent visual shield. Whether it's high-end power tools or premium camping gear, if they can't see it, they won't try to take it.
-
Reinforced Protection: Eliminating side glass removes the most common point of failure. These reinforced aluminum panels resist impacts and forced entry attempts that would shatter any glass-equipped shell.
🦅 Massive Gullwing Access
-
Edge-to-Edge Reach: Dual side gullwing doors lift effortlessly on heavy-duty gas struts. Gain full access to the front and middle of your truck bed from the side—no more crawling through the tailgate.
-
Weather-Sealed Locks: Each door features high-security, dust-proof locks keyed to a single master key for quick and secure operation.
🏗️ Heavy-Duty Modular Design
-
Precision Engineering: Our 5-piece modular architecture ensures a perfect, rattle-free fit tailored to the Tundra’s bed contours. It ships flat for efficiency and assembles with standard hand tools.
-
Serviceable Panels: Built for the long haul. In the event of extreme trail damage, individual panels can be replaced independently, saving you from replacing the entire unit.
🏔️ Overland-Spec Load Rating
-
Static Load (Parked): 850 lbs (385 kg) | Built to support the heaviest hardshell rooftop tents and multiple occupants with zero structural deflection.
-
Dynamic Load (Moving): 450 lbs (205 kg) | Confidently carry heavy gear, lumber, or gear racks even on high-speed washboard desert roads.
🌬️ Advanced Environment Control
-
Rear Visibility: While the sides are solid for security, the rear door features Tempered Safety Glass with a high-quality tint, allowing you to maintain essential rear-view visibility.
-
Positive Pressure Vent: A built-in filtered air vent maintains higher pressure inside the bed, effectively keeping dust and silt out during off-road excursions.
-
Full-Perimeter Seals: Automotive-grade EPDM weather stripping ensures your equipment stays bone-dry during heavy rain and snow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why choose a side-windowless (Solid) design?
A: Privacy and security. For owners who carry expensive tools or overlanding equipment, the solid aluminum panels prevent "smash and grab" thefts and keep gear hidden from prying eyes while providing a more rugged, tactical aesthetic.
Q: Can I still see out of the back?
A: Yes. The rear door and the front panel (facing the cab) are equipped with tempered glass windows, preserving your ability to use your rearview mirror and monitor the cargo area.
Q: How does the load rating compare to fiberglass?
A: There is no contest. Fiberglass can crack under the stress of off-road vibrations when loaded with a tent. Our high-strength aluminum frame is specifically engineered for dynamic off-road loads of up to 450 lbs.
Q: Is the installation permanent?
A: No. We use a proprietary no-drill J-clamp system. You can install or remove the canopy without making any permanent modifications to your Tundra’s bed rails.
