Where are all you "topper" people from? I have plenty of friends and relatives into trucks and ORV's and have never heard of that.

I have a truck that looks quite a lot like your first photo. I call it a matching canopy because it is painted the same color as the truck.

'Round these here parts we call that a canopy. My Toyota truck has one. Fits and matches so perfectly that a lot of people think it's a 4-Runner. Very handy too as it improves wind resistance and it locks.

Not sure - when I sold them for a little over a year - that's waht we (and the company that made them) called them.


I sold the "Brahma" brand.

Midwest. My ol' man used to have a topper on his chevy. Got it at a yard sale.

Edit: I see some people from tennesse calling it a topper. Maybe it's a not regional, maybe it's class.

So does anyone who is NOT from the Pacific Northwest (Oregon/Washington/Alaska) call them a canopy? Must be a regional thing.

But it's not a camper. It's just a cap.

Truck bed campers have beds, tables, sinks, stoves, etc.
