This is the SmartCap Evo Sport and I paid $4495+labor. I didn't know when I ordered but according to the shop, this is a new V2 with latches built into the glass instead of the horizontal panel (so more glass/light) and a more subtle branding on thd inside of the glass rather than on that horizontal fill panel as well. Here's what the older version looked like

It's fairly light (about 200 lbs) and sits essentially within the same wind profile as the cab. I suspect it will be a very minimal penalty if any at all (I think the turbulence of the open bed would be worse). I am quite certain the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires take far more of a range penalty than the canopy will, but will report my findings.

You and I must have been separated at birth... I too have a SmartCap as well as the MIckey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts!! And like you I also noticed quite a hit to my efficiency with those tires (SmartCap did not seem to have much effect though). Curious, what size did you run on the tires? I went a little wider than stock, 285/60R20 on 20x9 wheels with +20 offset.

275/60R20, I think the wheels are either +10 or +20 but will have to check. Worth it for the additional grip offroad and in snow, my power is super cheap (0.04/kw) so hard to worry much about frugality lol
You, Sir, are a man of excceptional taste, if I may say.

Agreed. It's only in rare cases that range is a concern for me. And of those cases it's even more rare that the amount of range I lost with these tires would have made a meaningful difference to my trip.My brother from another mother!

Definitely let us know how it works out - I am looking at one of those myself... although my area of the PNW gets less rain than yours <g>.Love it! Looks so good on this truck and a perfect fit. Will review further once I get a few miles on and see if it is waterproof... Zap!

Well, it leaks. A LOT. I'm sure it's install related, and I can see some roll to parts of the gasket that sits on the bed sides, so I think they set it down and then slid it rather than setting it straight down. I am waiting to hear back from the shop but assume I will have to take it in sooner than later for a retry Almost there...
Almost there...
