RSI SMARTCAP Canopies for Modern Pickup Trucks

RSI SMARTCAP canopies are premium stainless-steel pickup canopies engineered for the demands of modern UK pickup trucks. Designed to outperform traditional fibreglass canopies, SMARTCAP systems deliver exceptional strength, security and modular flexibility — making them ideal for both professional work use and serious overland travel.

Perfectly suited to popular pickups such as the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, Isuzu D-Max and VW Amarok, RSI SMARTCAP canopies are built to handle heavy loads, harsh conditions and daily use. Whether you’re carrying tools during the week or loading up for off-grid adventures at the weekend, SMARTCAP provides a reliable, long-term solution without compromise.

As official UK importer since 2015, TUFF-TREK® supplies genuine RSI SMARTCAP canopies backed by expert advice, optional in-house fitting, UK-based support and long-term aftercare, ensuring correct fitment and confidence from day one.

SmartCap EVO Sport
Forged from steel (not fibreglass), it could be said the SmartCap EVO is built like a truck, not a boat. From off-roading to the job site, it’ll withstand the daily abuse you give it, while also being able to hold up to 150 kgs when moving or 349 kgs when parked.

SmartCap Sport has a modern angular design, complete with bonded tinted glass on Gullwing Doors with low profile push-button latching mechanisms to the sleek integrated roof rails, the SmartCap EVO enhances the rugged look of your truck.

SmartCap EVO Adventure
The SmartCap EVOa Adventure has been built for extreme on-road and off-road use. From its robust stainless steel design to the double-walled stainless steel Gullwing doors with interior Molle Panels for mounting your gear, this thing will take all the adventure you can throw at—and then some.

SmartCap Adventure has solid gullwing door openings which are around 17% taller than the average side window you’ll find on a fibreglass professional cap — making it that much easier to access cargo or bolt in a SmartCap Component.
