Canopy Cost

[daczone]

I'd like to get a Canopy, Can someone give me a ball park price of what they paid for theirs?

Mine is a 2020 Ranger Supercab (6' bed) and I would like it color matching.

What exactly are you referring to?

An awning?

A truck bed topper?

Something else?

Not mine, but pricing one similar to these are minimum $3000

Yes a Canopy, I have a Tonneau Cover. Which is great but want something my Dog can ride in the winter.

It varies widely between brands and installed options; the best bet is to call a shop and they can quote you with the options you request (~15 mins).
But, just to give a ballpark, the range is roughly 2 - 5k depending on brand, options, etc.

I thought this inflatable one from Flated is pretty cool. Lightweight and stow it away when not in use. Same problem as a canvas topper though (Not as secure as a hard shell and still pretty pricey). https://getflated.com/products/air-topper-midsize-longbed?variant=42820799594664

Pricing I got in my area is right around $3k for a base model (slider side windows, front tilt glass for cleaning, add $250 for factory keyfob remote lock and on the high end $3700 (frameless side glass, pop rear 1/4) Both color matched via the color code and installed. 3-6 weeks lead time.

I couldn't find anything about it but that looks like drop-stiched material. Having our kayaks made of that stuff (same as many paddle boards), I can attest to it being tough and very rigid. I can stand in our 14 foot kayaks and it doesn't flex at all (3 inch bottom and 4 inch sides inflated to 10 psi).

Yeah, from what I’ve gathered it is the same technology used in inflatable standup paddle boards. Inflatable SUPs are surprisingly rigid and durable and this is definitely a clever design that I’d consider down the road. I came across the Flated topper about a year ago and when I saw this thread pop up I thought some of you might find it interesting as well.

My ARE color-matched topper with a drop-down front window and roof rails and crossbars came in at $3000 in 2020. I think the rails and crossbars were about $500 so $2500 for the canopy without them. They are likely higher now.

I got a quote today for a ARE @ $4100 (Z2) Said the Z series is not available for the Ranger. I HATE the Z2 windows. I ordered a Leer 100XL, same as the Century Royal. The hardware on the ARE seems to be much better as well. The Leer was cheaper $3500

In the Pacific Northwest, we call ‘toppers’ canopies. In fact, many companies that sell them have Canopy in their name.

I know it’s weird for some. I struggle with topper or camper.. for over 40 yrs I never heard them referred as anything other than a canopy. Must be a regional thing.

In PA, commonly called a truck "cap".

I use my FasTop for my dogs. Works great. Cheaper than a hard shell. I have a thread about here where you can find all the info.

I want to say it was $1600ish. But worth it as there's no other product like it.

I was just going with what Flated called their own product, the “Air Topper”. I grew up in western PA and we called the rigid, hard shell bed covers “caps” and canvas covers, “canopies”. All do the same primary function, just different names for different designs.
