Had the OVS Expedition Truck for the Taco now for over 2 months and used on several camping trips! What do we think? Is it worth the money? Find out in our review!

Bad experience with this overland company, ordered my truck cap for gladiator and two months later still hasn't shipped, customer service has bood faced lied to me 3 times via email and 4 times via phone (and good luck getting them to anwser at all once you call with a complaint as they block your number after the first complaint). Lies about when it will ship, when they will receive shipments, when they have shipped and even sending (email) a bogus tracking number... I finally had to go the fraud route and cancel the order after 3 months of this (i respectfully waited 2 months before i started asking questions and being lied to) and had to mark it as fraud, so i had to get a new credit card as well, and according to M.C. this company has been included in many fraud charges, so i was far from the first. Dont waste time and money thinking you're saving time and money, cus you aint.

Very good review, thank you! This is a viable option especially at the price point. I still don't understand why manufacturers of metal bed caps won't provide other color options? I can't imagine the inside temp (vent or no vent), when it is 100 + degrees outside. Neutral paint colors like silver, grey, taupe, or even tan would be great.

Yeah, Not real sure why no color choices either. All the metal one's I have seen have ALL been black! Yes, I am sure the inside temps get pretty high with sun beating on that black metal! Thanks for dropping by my friend! Blessings!

Yes, the rack rails are there and they are going to be coming out with some crossbars specifically for this rig. I hope to snag some when they do come out!
