Hi All,
New poster here...I searched the forum but couldn't find anything exactly on topic, but that may be due to my lack of search skills than actual non-existence of thread!! :Wow1: So, apologies if this has been asked before.
I was wondering if anyone has purchased and had experience with the Alucab South African pickup cap/canopy in the USA. I believe the only canopy Alucab exports to the US is for the Toyota Tacoma which goes for about $3000-$4000 depending on size + options (https://ok4wd.com/brands/alucab/alu-cab-explorer-canopy-for-toyota-tacoma). I believe this is a bit of a premium over domestic US fiberglass or aluminum topper options.
If anyone has purchased the Alucab, how has it been for you? Marked improvement over a domestic fiberglass or aluminum topper from ARE/Snugtop/Leer, etc? Have you found the price differential worth it over the domestic US options and value for money? Have you mounted a roof top tent to it and does it seem sturdy? Has it held up in US climate conditions? Any problems or things they could have done better?
And lastly, if people have thought about purchasing one and haven't, what has stopped people from buying one?
Thanks in advance for any insight you could provide!! They look interesting but come at a bit of price premium and not sure if anyone has actually bought one. Thanks again!!
