 ARE Z Series Truck Cap Review
A.R.E. Z Series
Z Series : Ford Super-Duty
March 24, 2025    Posted by: Andy
Overall, I would say that this truck cap looks nice and fits well on my truck. The paint match is near perfect and the design fits well with my truck. It looks good. However, I have some issues with the finishing. On the front of the cap closest to the truck cab, you can see visible fiberglass sticking out from underneath the aluminum. There are seams on carpeted headliner that are not overlapping. You can see visible fiberglass underneath the the carpet seams. The plastic skirt that overlaps the door on the rear to the truck tailgate has scuffs on it and some of the plastic is peeling. For as much as these truck caps cost, I would expect better.

 High Price, Low Quality

Very disappointed with this product. Although supposedly an economic brand and model, the price is comparable to higher end options. The quality however is very poor. First, and most importantly, the canopy is too short to fit the truck box properly. To have the door fit properly, the front of the canopy is set back from the front of the box so it is not sealed. Second, the general quality of the canopy is low. Rear door is mounted improperly and is visibly misaligned with the rest of the canopy. The door does not close smoothly. The sides of the canopy are wavy along the length of the truck. Third, the paint is a very poor match. Despite providing specific manufacturer paint code for a custom match, the canopy is noticeably different colour than the truck. Perhaps if this were a budget product, it would be possible to accept some of the shoddy quality (although not the fact that it is not the right size for the vehicle) But at almost $5000 CDN it is definitely not worth the money. Real Truck seems to be consolidating (and cheapening) lots of brands so I would recommend looking for something outside of this group of brands.

The paint on my new cap didn’t match. We sent the gas cap door to ARE and returned the cap for repaint. It still doesn’t match. I’m disappointed at ARE. It took the paint shop six weeks to mismatch the paint again.
