Cab-height CX with a frameless rear door molded to the tailgate shape.
Truck CapThe CX Evolve is the middle step of the CX line. Its patented rear door is formed to the shape of your tailgate and is frameless, with the hinges hidden and no visible hardware. A.R.E.'s OneMotion handle opens it one-handed onto a slam latch, and Hydro-Lift gas props hold it. The side windows stay aluminum-framed sliders, so you keep the screens.

Where these 4 actually differ:
| Specification | A.R.E. CX Classic | A.R.E. CX Evolve | A.R.E. CX HD | A.R.E. CX Revo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Body | Fiberglass, aluminum-framed glass | Fiberglass, framed side glass | Fiberglass on an aluminum skeleton | Fiberglass, urethane-bonded glass |
| Rear door | Framed rear door, recessed flush | Frameless door on hidden hinges | Glass or aluminum-paneled door | Frameless tailgate-formed glass |
| Sides | Framed sliding windows with screens | Framed sliding windows with screens | Half-sliders or aluminum windoors | Frameless bonded glass |
The same on every one of them
The CX line is a ladder and Evolve is rung two. CX Classic: everything framed, including the rear door. CX Evolve: frameless rear door, framed sliding side windows. CX Revo: frameless rear door and frameless side and front glass. The simplest way to tell Evolve from Revo standing behind a truck is the sides. If the side windows have aluminum frames and slide open, it is an Evolve. Separately, CX HD is the load-carrying build and is not part of this glass ladder.
Owners who want the clean back end and the finished interior but still want side windows that open. It is the practical middle of the CX range.
