The RealTruck Ascend is a modular truck cap with a 1,200 lb. weight capacity, color-matched panels, and a full-glass rear hatch. A heavy-duty 14-gauge steel skeleton is wrapped in modular QuickMount™ panels made from high-strength fiberglass and finished with proprietary MultiShield™, which RealTruck rates at seven times more scratch resistance than comparable modular caps. Painted versions are matched to your truck’s factory finish.
Switch between cap and rack-only modes in minutes by removing the QuickMount™ panels. All-glass windoors and a full-glass rear hatch improve visibility, integrated roof tracks accept cross bars, cargo baskets, tents, kayaks, and ladders, and a one-touch handle with one-key lock secures the hatch. Premium window seals and seamless construction provide all-season weather protection.
