Description

Protect your cargo with the A.R.E. MX Series Truck Cap—a stylish, mid-rise cap featuring robust construction, a mid-high roof for superior headroom, and a unique front vista glass design.

A.R.E. is a trusted brand in the topper industry, bringing 50 years of experience. The company is renowned for its unmatched quality and sleek designs, and the MX Series Truck Cap is no exception. The MX Series Truck Cap is built to last and features a robust polyester resin laminate fiberglass construction. Recessed detailing provides additional styling and strength, while a reinforced roof boosts cargo capacity for roof-mounted rack systems and cargo.

Each A.R.E. MX Series Truck Cap comes finished in your pickup truck’s exact color code, ensuring a flawless paint match and sleek, factory-inspired aesthetics. A.R.E. utilizes an automotive-grade two-part paint process, including a color-matched base coat and UV-resistant clear coat for maximum gloss and longevity. Alternatively, A.R.E. offers an optional UV-stable textured finish for rugged styling and scratch resistance.

Like all A.R.E. truck caps, the company offers the MX Series with countless optional features. On the MX, this includes a full fiberglass walk-in rear door for easy bed access and improved visibility while towing. As a bonus, the full rear door functions as a hatch, clearing the way for oversized cargo.

A.R.E. is a RealTruck® brand. When you order an MX Series Truck Cap from us, you’re dealing directly with the manufacturer. We back each MX Series Truck Cap with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing and material defects.

The body includes the fiberglass shell and mounting rails only. A.R.E. warrants to you, the original purchaser, for as long as you own your cap that the exterior paint will not abnormally fade or peel due to material or workmanship defect faster than the original pickup it was installed on by an authorized A.R.E. retail dealer. Due to truck manufacturer variance, exact color match is not guaranteed.

The spray-on protective coating material used to produce the Overland Series and OTR option has a limited lifetime warranty not to crack, bubble, or flake as well as a 3-year warranty not to abnormally fade or lose its luster.

Commercial Aluminum Caps Limited 3-Year Warranty (Deluxe Commercial Unit, DCU Max, Diamond Edition)

The body includes the fiberglass shell and mounting rails only.

All other hardware will be covered under standard A.R.E. fiberglass truck cap warranties.

The A.R.E. HD Series has been designed to carry 550 lbs. evenly distributed on the HD Series roof rack and 200 lbs evenly distributed in each toolbox.

CAUTION: The weight of this product and the weight of the cargo it was designed to carry may be more than your truck was designed to carry on the bed rails. Please consult your truck manufacturer.

WARNING: The use of this product may raise your vehicle's center of gravity, especially when loaded. Higher center of gravity is known to increase the chance of vehicle rollover.

Hardware
For the original purchaser, lock cylinder, keyless entry, lock housing, fiberglass wings, and center mounted brake lights are warranted for three (3) years from your retail date of purchase against failure due to defects in material and workmanship.

Gas props used to assist in opening doors are covered under a five (5) year limited warranty against failure due to loss of pressure. This warranty does not cover damage due to misuse or neglect. Never wipe the shaft of the props with anything other than a dry soft cloth. Regular operation of the props will actually increase the life by lubricating the seals and shafts.

Aluminum framed windows, aluminum framed doors and tailgate formed doors frames and their hardware, 12 volt and rope lighting, battery lights, prop light switch and ActiveTilt™ are warranted for one (1) year from your purchase date from an authorized A.R.E. retailer, from failure due to defects in material or workmanship.

THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ANY SUCH WARRANTIES ARE DISCLAIMED. THIS A.R.E. WRITTEN WARRANTY IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY PROVIDED FOR ALL A.R.E PRODUCTS.

EXCEPT FOR AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS A.R.E. LIMITED WARRANTY, A.R.E., ITS SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DIRECT DAMAGES AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL A.R.E., ITS SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES due to installation, use, misuse, abuse, neglect, or otherwise regarding any product sold, distributed or manufactured by A.R.E. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

STATE LAW MAY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Exclusions
Not covered under this warranty is structural failure due to neglect, alterations, addition of equipment, abuse, accident, off-road driving, use in competitive racing, vibrations from worn or altered truck suspensions or sound equipment, or acts of nature including but not limited to tornados, hurricanes, hail, and earthquakes.

If a known problem exists with an A.R.E. product, it is the owner's responsibility to immediately bring the issue to the attention of an authorized A.R.E. Dealer. Failure to do so could result in additional, more severe problems and constitutes (but is not limited to) neglect, which is not covered.

Stress cracks in the fiberglass body that begin from a window, boot, door opening or from the base rail are considered structural or material flaws and are covered under warranty for as long as the A.R.E. truck cap is owned by the original purchaser. The exception to this warranty is when it is determined by A.R.E. or its authorized dealer that such stress crack(s) were caused from misuse, abuse, collision or competitive racing. If a stress crack occurs it should be repaired without delay to prevent future failures due to neglect.

Stress cracks in the exterior finish caused by impact are not covered under warranty. A stress crack caused by impact from the inside of the truck cap has the appearance of a "star" on the outside surface. A stress crack caused by impact to the outside of the truck cap will cause circular stress cracks. Both stress cracks radiate from a center point(s) of impact. Impact cracks are usually on the sidewalls of the body. A mark may or may not be visible at the point of impact.

Consequential damage or loss due to the installation, use, misuse, abuse or neglect of A.R.E. truck caps is the sole responsibility of the pickup owner and operator. Paint wear to your truck's bed is normal and is expected with the installation and the use of any truck cap or tonneau and is the sole responsibility of the pickup owner. Precautions should be taken by the pickup owner to prevent corrosion. A.R.E. shall not be held liable for any consequential loss or damages arising from the purchase, installation or use of these products.

No implied warranty or fitness for a particular purpose, if any, shall extend for a longer duration than the terms of this written warranty.

In some cases you may be charged labor by the A.R.E. retailer performing the service, if the product was purchased through a different retail outlet.

Warranty Claims
In the event of a warranted product failure it is A.R.E.'s discretion to repair or replace the defective part(s). A.R.E. reserves the right to replace any parts with current production parts of equal or greater quality and value. All claims must be made to the authorized A.R.E. dealer from whom you purchased your truck cap. If you have relocated and/or are unable to return to the A.R.E. dealer where you made your purchase, call (800) 649-4ARE or visit www.4are.com for the nearest authorized dealer. The authorized dealer will process your claim and make the necessary repairs or replacements. Personal identification along with proof of purchase and ownership of the original pickup and A.R.E. truck cap are required for all warranty claims.
