A.R.E. V Series

A.R.E.'s entry fiberglass cap: cab height, paint matched, traditional shape.

Truck Cap
Build with 3D Designer

The V Series is the least expensive way into a painted fiberglass A.R.E. cap. Cab height, traditional lines, the same polyester resin laminate fiberglass body and the same heavy-duty aluminum rear door as the pricier lines, and the same limited lifetime warranty. You give up the frameless glass and the interior trim, not the structure.

Why this one

How it differs from the line next to it

The V Series and the CX Classic are both cab-height Classic-generation caps and share most of their construction. The V Series is positioned below it: plainer styling, fewer standard trim items, and the option of solid windowless sides. Move up to CX Classic for the recessed styling detail and the fuller standard specification; move up again to Evolve or Revo for frameless glass.

Who it suits

First-time cap buyers and anyone on a budget who still wants the cap painted to match and warranted for life.

Will it fit?
