Ford F-350 Truck Cap | ARE Commercial-Grade Camper Shells
Our CX-Series Revo represents two decades of engineering refinement for Ford Super Duty owners who demand professional-grade cargo protection. This f350 camper shell combines aerospace-grade aluminum framing with impact-resistant fiberglass construction to withstand the rigors of commercial use and weekend adventure.
Every CX-Revo unit is built to Ford’s exact cab specifications, ensuring weathertight performance even under highway speeds and extreme temperature fluctuations. We integrate your F-350’s existing third brake light system and wire our power options directly into factory harnesses for seamless electrical integration.
- Custom-molded to 2017–2025 Ford F-350 Super Duty crew cab and standard cab profiles
- Aerospace-grade aluminum internal framework rated for 200+ lb overhead rack loads
- Dual-pane tempered glass side windows with sliding or lift-out configurations
- Premium weatherstripping system tested to -40°F through 140°F temperature extremes
- Integrated LED dome lighting with three-position switch (door-activated, constant-on, off)
Materials & Construction Built for Super Duty Workloads
We construct every F-350 camper shell using compression-molded fiberglass panels reinforced with an internal aluminum skeleton. This hybrid approach delivers rigidity without adding unnecessary weight to your payload capacity — the complete CX-Revo assembly adds only 185 pounds to your Super Duty’s curb weight.
The fiberglass outer shell resists UV degradation, road salt corrosion, and minor impacts that would dent aluminum alternatives. Our proprietary gel-coat finish matches Ford’s clearcoat durability standards, maintaining gloss retention through years of exposure. Internal aluminum crossmembers distribute roof loads across the truck bed rails, allowing you to mount ladder racks, kayak carriers, or rooftop tents without compromising structural integrity.
Precision Fit for F-350 Bed Configurations
Ford Super Duty trucks ship with three distinct bed lengths — 6.75-foot, 8-foot, and specialized chassis-cab configurations. We manufacture dedicated molds for each bed dimension rather than using adjustable templates, ensuring your camper shell sits flush with cab contours and bed rail profiles.
Our installation process begins with a digital template verification at authorized dealerships. Technicians confirm your specific cab style (crew cab versus standard cab) and bed length before ordering your unit. Each shell arrives with pre-drilled mounting points that align with factory bed rail bolt patterns — no field drilling required on the truck itself.
Window Configurations & Ventilation Systems
Glass Options
We offer three factory window packages for the CX-Revo. The Tradesman configuration includes fixed tempered glass in all four side panels with a sliding rear window. Our Ranch package substitutes lift-out side windows that remove completely for oversized cargo loading. The Commercial package eliminates side glass entirely, substituting flush fiberglass panels that maximize security for tool storage.
All glass components are DOT-approved safety glazing with darkened tint that blocks 65% of visible light. Side windows measure 24 inches wide by 14 inches tall — large enough for cross-ventilation but small enough to maintain structural rigidity during off-road articulation.
Heavy-Duty Truck Caps for Ford Super Duty Models
What people are saying
Common Questions About ARE F-350 Camper Shells
We manufacture separate molds for crew cab and standard cab F-350 trucks because the cab-to-bed gap differs between configurations. When you order through an authorized dealer, they’ll verify your specific cab style and bed length to ensure you receive the correct model. The CX-Revo is available for all 2017–2025 F-350 Super Duty variants including crew cab short bed, crew cab long bed, and standard cab long bed combinations.
Each version uses cab-specific mounting geometry to maintain a flush seal between the cap’s front edge and your cab’s rear window. Ordering the wrong cab style will result in either a visible gap or interference that prevents proper installation.
Yes — our clamp-based mounting system is designed for removal and reinstallation without leaving permanent modifications. The stainless steel clamps grip the inside channel of your bed rails using adjustable bolts, so no drilling into the truck body is required. You can remove the entire cap in about 45 minutes with basic hand tools.
When reinstalling, you’ll need to apply fresh silicone sealant along the bed rail flange to maintain weathertight performance. We recommend having two people for removal and installation since the cap weighs approximately 185 pounds. Many owners remove their caps during winter months when they need full bed access for snowplows or when payload capacity is critical.
The internal aluminum framework is rated for 200 pounds of static load when using our factory roof rack system. This capacity covers most ladder racks, rooftop tents, kayak carriers, and cargo boxes. The key is distributing weight across multiple crossmembers rather than concentrating load in one spot.
For rooftop tents, we recommend our heavy-duty track system that mounts directly to the aluminum skeleton rather than just the fiberglass skin. This configuration has been tested with tents up to 180 pounds plus two adult occupants (total dynamic load). If you’re planning serious overland builds with multiple roof accessories, consult with your dealer about reinforced mounting options during initial installation.
We use Ford’s OEM paint codes to mix gel coat colors during the manufacturing process. When you order, provide your truck’s paint code (found on the door jamb sticker) to your dealer. Our facility maintains digital color formulas for all current and recent Ford Super Duty colors including special-order fleet colors.
The gel coat is mixed into the fiberglass during molding rather than applied as a separate paint layer afterward. This through-color construction means minor scratches won’t expose a different underlayer. Colors are batch-matched within automotive industry standards — expect a near-exact match under direct sunlight, though slight variation can occur between fiberglass gel coat and metal automotive paint due to different substrate properties.
The cap replaces tonneau covers entirely — you cannot run both simultaneously since the cap mounts to the same bed rail surfaces. If you have a spray-in bed liner, the cap installs normally with no modifications needed. Drop-in plastic bed liners sometimes interfere with clamp placement depending on their sidewall height.
We recommend removing drop-in liners before installation to ensure proper clamp engagement with the bed rail channel. If you want bed protection under the cap, spray-in liners like LINE-X or Rhino Lining work perfectly and don’t interfere with mounting hardware. The weatherstripping compresses adequately to seal against textured spray-in liner surfaces along the bed rail tops.
Yes — the CX-Revo includes pre-installed mounting tracks along both interior sidewalls specifically for accessory integration. These tracks accept our drawer systems, shelving units, and tie-down accessories without requiring additional drilling. The tracks are rated for 150 pounds of lateral load per side.
Third-party bed storage systems that mount to the truck bed itself (rather than the cap) install normally since the cap sits above bed-mounted components. Popular systems from companies like Decked and TruckVault fit underneath without modification. For electrical accessories like additional interior lighting or 12V power ports, we provide a dedicated accessory power wire during installation that connects to your truck’s upfitter circuit or battery.
We provide a three-year warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. This includes structural integrity of the fiberglass shell, aluminum framework, door mechanisms, window seals, and factory-installed electrical components. The warranty covers replacement or repair of defective parts including labor costs at authorized service centers.
Paint finish is warranted separately for two years against fading, peeling, or delamination under normal use. Warranty coverage requires professional installation at an authorized dealer and excludes damage from accidents, modifications, improper mounting, or use of incompatible cleaning chemicals. We also offer extended warranty packages through participating dealers that extend coverage up to six years for an additional fee.
