Hi,
Thank you for your interest in the AERO-X. We plan to make it for the ranger in the near future. We do not have a set plan yet on when though. Right now we just bought a dodge ram and we plan to make it for it first. Please follow us on facebook and our website for updates. Thank you.

Never seen anything like that before. It is like you are trying to turn a pickup into a fastback. It looks interesting, but I'm not sure why you would buy one of these. If you wanted a fastback, why wouldn't you just buy a fastback? If you wanted something covered, why wouldn't you just by a cap if you wanted a pickup? Or maybe it is just all about the look?

I guess I'm not really seeing the market for these. There must be one otherwise the company wouldn't be in business.

Interesting...Certainly not for me. Would like to see their business case for why they think these will sell. Who is the target audience?

Is this thing lifting itself somehow? If not, how would you use the bed?
What is its primary purpose, besides being kind of ugly and unusable? (I am serious with this question :D:D:D)

Does it open?
How do you access the bed?
Cost?
Can I assume it's waterproof?
Does it lock?
Is it removable for tall loads?

Finally, what is the purpose of this?

Their business case is most likely "Make it cost enough that those who need it bad enough will finance our continued existence"

i feel that this is a very niche market. BUT i really think i kindof like it. maybe it would look cool on a sport truck thats been lowered.

it does open and looks like it locks.
