New Ford Ranger Carryboy G500 Supersport Truck top Canopy

Thought this was a cool concept.
I like the look of the truck and the canopy, but I don't think it's quite maximizing the aerodynamics. It's still cool though.

canopy

I agree with your aero appraisal.Certainly in the right direction.It's OEM in execution,so it's not going to put anybody off with respect to build quality.
And it's very existence may get a dialogue going among truck owners,which I take as a positive thing.
Thanks for finding this and sharing!

I had a look at their site. No specification on cubic foot capacity on commercial caps much less the "sporty" ones. Nice looking, but one ought to be able to compare some basic specs, IMO, to make a decent choice.

In comparison my cab-high topper makes for 170 c/f. A different truck and size, but, still, a beginning for making comparisons on an expensive purchase.
