Duracap Explore Hard Truck Topper
Take Your Truck to the Next Level with Versatility and Visibility
Discover the ultimate truck bed solution with the Duracap Explore Hard Truck Topper—a premium accessory engineered for drivers who want it all: durability, style, security, and enhanced visibility. Built on the foundation of the trusted Duracap aluminum shell, the Explore Hard Pickup Topper introduces new features like sliding side windows, a rear window, and a pass-through front opening to maximize convenience and comfort. Whether you're navigating city streets or exploring rugged trails, the Explore Topper is designed to keep you and your gear secure on every adventure.
Rugged Construction & Premium Materials
The Duracap Explore Hard Truck Topper is constructed from urethane-coated aluminum panels that offer exceptional durability while maintaining a lightweight build of 110-130 lbs. The corrosion-resistant shell features a weldless construction that adds strength without extra weight, while the extruded bows provide additional structural integrity. With a urethane coating to protect against UV rays, your topper will maintain its premium look even in challenging environments. The Explore Topper’s rear and side windows offer enhanced visibility, while the front pass-through opening enables easy access to the truck bed from the cab, making it a versatile and practical addition to your truck.
Enhanced Visibility & Ventilation
One of the standout features of the Duracap Explore Topper is the addition of lockable side sliding tempered windows and a rear shatterproof plexiglass window. These windows not only improve visibility but also enhance the overall functionality of your truck. The side windows come with built-in screens, providing extra ventilation and making your truck bed a more comfortable space, especially during camping or overlanding adventures. The rear window easily opens with gas springs, allowing effortless access to your cargo. Furthermore, the two-way roof vent ensures proper air circulation, providing high-flow ventilation while keeping dust and debris out.
Seamless Installation & Secure Mounting
Installing the Duracap Explore Topper is straightforward and requires no drilling, thanks to the aluminum stake pocket inserts. For trucks without stake pockets, optional clamps or minor drilling can be used to achieve a secure fit. The topper is easy to remove or reinstall, taking only ten minutes with the help of two people—ideal for those who need flexibility. The built-in seals on all sides, combined with a waterproof hinge, are designed to keep the elements out and ensure that your cargo remains safe and dry.
Dual-Locking System for Ultimate Security
The Duracap Explore Topper comes with an automatic dual-locking system that provides both security and ease of use. The heavy-duty nylon latches ensure 1/2 inch of solid engagement, and you can easily release both locks by pulling on the cord from either side. The cord tab is adjustable, allowing you to access the truck bed from the outside without a key. This versatile security system keeps your belongings safe, whether you're off-road or parked in a busy city.

Additional Features: The Explore Topper includes a solid mounting system using aluminum stake pocket inserts, eliminating the need for drilling while maintaining a reliable attachment. The topper also has a water-shedding design with waterproof hinges to direct water away from the truck bed, keeping your gear dry during adverse weather. For those seeking even more functionality, the topper is roof-rack ready with optional multi-functional crossbars that can be integrated into the core structure using pre-existing holes, allowing you to carry additional gear and accessories. The urethane-coated aluminum panels, extruded bows, and weldless construction make this topper both rugged and lightweight.
