Alu-Cab Explorer Canopy — Mercedes X-Class Double Cab, Black Tread

Short Product Summary

Made for the short-bed Mercedes-Benz X-Class double cab, this Explorer Canopy comes in a black tread finish. It gives you covered storage behind the cab, a full rear window and roof rails for carrying more gear on top.

• Double seal doors – durable doors with a double seal
• Three internal LED lights – lights for packing and unpacking inside the canopy
• Full rear window – a view out the back through the canopy

Ideal For

• Mercedes-Benz X-Class owners who prefer the tread finish on their canopy

Optional Fitment / Upgrade Notes

Check these points before you order:

• It is listed for the Mercedes-Benz X-Class from 2018 onward. Tell us your exact model year so we can confirm it.
• The mounting hardware attaches directly to the load bed, so any bed liner must be removed or modified first. Ask us about warranty conditions.
• Alu-Cab quotes about 45 minutes to fit with no drilling. We still recommend professional fitting.
• Measurements are model-specific; we can confirm the numbers for your vehicle.

Complete Your Setup

Plan the rest of your set-up around the canopy: a rooftop tent, an awning and accessories such as a jerry can holder or spare wheel bag are all part of the Alu-Cab range. A shower cubicle completes the camp.

FAQ

Which finish is this canopy?
This listing is the black tread version. The smooth finish is also offered, so ask us if you would rather have that one.

What load can the roof carry?
The dynamic roof load rating is 200 kg, and the maximum static load is 400 kg.

Do I need to remove my bed liner?
The mounting hardware goes straight onto the load bed, so the liner has to be removed or modified to allow that. Ask us about warranty before you start.

Will it fit a different year or cab?
It is made for the Mercedes-Benz X-Class double cab covered by this listing. If your vehicle is a different model year, cab or bed, ask us to confirm before you order.
