Optional Fitment / Upgrade Notes

Worth confirming before you buy:

• It is listed for the Toyota Hilux from 2026 onward, double cab. Because the model is new, ask us to confirm your exact model year and cab type before ordering.
• The older Hilux Revo (2016 onward) has its own separate canopy listings.
• 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, and dimensions vary by model, so ask us to confirm the measurements for your vehicle.

Complete Your Setup

Build the canopy out with accessories for the inside, add shade with an awning, or plan a rooftop tent for the roof rails.
