Ford Maverick Truck Cap | ARE Truck Caps
We engineered our Maverick cap specifically for Ford’s compact unibody pickup, delivering full-bed protection without adding unnecessary bulk. The cap’s low-profile design maintains the Maverick’s urban-friendly stance while adding 45 cubic feet of lockable, weatherproof storage.
Our fiberglass shell pairs automotive-grade paint with seamless construction, so the cap integrates with your truck’s existing lines rather than fighting them. We include LED lighting, carpeted interior, and tinted sliding side windows as standard equipment because these aren’t upgrades—they’re essential for daily use.

Fiberglass Construction & Paint Match
We mold each Maverick cap from hand-laid fiberglass, a material choice that delivers the best balance of strength, weight, and finish quality. The composite construction flexes just enough to absorb road vibration without cracking, while the smooth gel-coat surface accepts paint better than any alternative material.
Our paint shop applies factory-matched automotive finishes using the same wet-spray process Ford uses on the truck itself. We reference your truck’s paint code directly, so colors like Alto Blue, Velocity Blue, and Cactus Gray match perfectly under any light. The clear-coat curing process takes 72 hours—longer than most competitors allow—because we won’t rush a finish that needs to last ten years.
Bed Access & Door Systems
The rear door opens a full 90 degrees on stainless steel pivot hinges, clearing the tailgate even when the truck bed is loaded to capacity. We position the double-pull handle at natural hand height for both tall and shorter users, and the three-point locking system engages compression seals around the entire door perimeter.
Sliding side windows measure 24 inches wide and include removable screen inserts for ventilation without pest access. The tinted glass blocks 35% of visible light and 99% of UV radiation, protecting cargo from sun damage while maintaining visibility for backing up. Each window locks independently with a keyed cylinder that matches your truck’s ignition key on request.
Installation & Truck Integration
We mount the cap using stainless steel clamps that bolt through the bed rail, distributing load across twelve attachment points. The installation process takes 45-60 minutes with basic hand tools, and we include all mounting hardware, foam seals, and detailed instructions with every cap.
The cap’s inner lip sits flush with the Maverick’s bed rail profile, creating a continuous seal against water intrusion. We mold drainage channels into the door frame that route any moisture away from the tailgate hinge area—the one spot where standing water causes rust on compact trucks. Our rubber bulb seal compresses 40% under clamping pressure, maintaining contact even as the truck bed flexes over rough terrain.

Common Questions About the Maverick Cap
Yes, our cap fits all 2022 and newer Ford Maverick models regardless of powertrain. The Maverick uses the same bed dimensions across hybrid and EcoBoost variants, so one cap design covers both. We’ve tested fitment on XL, XLT, and Lariat trims with factory bed configurations.
The cap mounts to the bed rail using our universal clamp system, which accommodates minor variations in rail height between trim levels. If you’ve added aftermarket bed accessories like rail caps or stake pocket covers, contact us before ordering so we can confirm clearance.
The installed cap weighs 165 pounds, reducing your available payload by that amount. A base Maverick XL hybrid has 1,500 pounds of payload, so you’d have 1,335 pounds remaining after cap installation. The EcoBoost AWD model starts at 1,400 pounds, leaving 1,235 pounds with the cap.
For reference, that’s still enough capacity to haul four passengers plus 500 pounds of cargo, or two passengers with 700+ pounds of gear. The cap’s fiberglass construction is significantly lighter than aluminum alternatives, which can weigh 220-250 pounds for the same coverage.
You can remove the cap solo, but we recommend two people for safety. The cap weighs 165 pounds and measures 60 inches wide, making it awkward to handle alone even though it’s technically manageable. With two people, removal takes about 15 minutes—just loosen the twelve clamp bolts and lift straight up.
We designed the mounting system for seasonal removal if you prefer open-bed use during summer months. The clamps leave minimal marks on the bed rail, and we include plastic caps to cover the clamp holes when the cap is off. Store the cap on padded sawhorses or a carpeted floor to prevent finish damage.
Yes, the cap clears Ford’s FITS bed divider system without interference. We positioned the interior mounting flanges to preserve full compatibility with the factory track system and divider kit. You can slide the dividers to any position along the bed length with the cap installed.
The cap also works with most aftermarket bed organizers and drawer systems under 16 inches tall. If you’re planning a specific storage setup, send us the dimensions and we can confirm fitment before you order.
Every cap ships complete with all mounting hardware, foam bed rail seals, LED dome light, carpeted interior liner, tinted sliding side windows with screens, and detailed installation instructions. We include stainless steel clamps, all necessary bolts and washers, and a wiring harness that connects to your truck’s cargo light circuit.
The cap arrives primer-finished unless you order factory color-match paint, which adds 7-10 business days to delivery. If you order paint, we also include a small bottle of touch-up paint matched to your specific color code for minor scratch repair.
Our paint shop needs your truck’s paint code from the door jamb sticker, then we apply base coat, clear coat, and curing over a 72-hour process. Total lead time for painted caps is 7-10 business days from order to ship date, depending on current production volume.
We can match any Ford paint code from 2015 forward, including limited-run colors and special editions. If you have a custom paint job, we can match from a paint chip or digital color reading, but that process adds 3-5 business days for color formula development.
The standard Maverick cap has a smooth roof surface without factory rack mounting points, but we offer an aftermarket crossbar kit that clamps to the cap’s front and rear edges. The kit supports up to 150 pounds of evenly distributed static weight—enough for kayaks, paddleboards, or a small cargo box.
If you need heavier load capacity or permanent rack integration, our Z Series cap includes molded-in roof rails rated for 200 pounds dynamic weight. That model adds 3 inches of interior height and works with any standard truck cap roof rack system.
