Overland Vehicle Systems

Faqs

What does Overland Vehicle Systems make?

Overland Vehicle Systems designs truck caps, rooftop tents, awnings, roof rack and bed rack systems, recovery gear, and camping gear built around overlanding use. The Expedition truck cap is one of the flagship products, built from marine-grade stainless steel with full-height wing doors and a 5-piece modular design for easier installation. The broader OVS catalog spans soft shell rooftop tents for buyers who want lighter setups, the hardshell Sidewinder for buyers who want maximum weather protection, and individual recovery accessories like the OVS Recovery Ring with storage bag included.

What warranty comes with OVS truck caps?

OVS backs the Expedition truck cap with a limited lifetime warranty that covers manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship. That is one of the longest warranties in the truck cap category, and TBS honors it in full as an authorized dealer. Warranty terms on individual OVS accessories vary by product, so check the specific listing.

What is the best Overland Vehicle Systems truck cap?

The Expedition truck cap is the best OVS cap for most buyers, with full wing doors, tempered glass windows, and 3rd brake light as standard. Buyers who want cab pass-through step up to the Expedition Pro+ for its sliding rear window. Both models share the marine-grade stainless shell and lifetime warranty.

Does OVS make a truck cap for my truck?

OVS currently makes the Expedition truck cap for the 3rd generation Toyota Tacoma and the Jeep Gladiator, with additional applications and mounting brackets rolled out over time. The Gladiator version omits the cap-mounted 3rd brake light because the truck already has one. Use the TBS fitment selector or call (845) 579-3631 to check the current application list.

Are Overland Vehicle Systems products worth the money?

OVS sits in the premium overland segment, priced to reflect marine-grade stainless construction, a lifetime warranty, and engineering built around actual off-road and overland use rather than a styling exercise. Build quality holds up under sustained dust, salt, and hard trail miles, which is the conditions the Expedition cap was designed for. Campers running a rooftop tent full-time and overlanders crossing the country benefit most from the price premium; weekend haulers doing lighter work can usually get by with a conventional cap.

Overland Vehicle Systems built its reputation in the overland space by engineering gear for buyers who actually use it, and the Expedition truck cap is the clearest example of that philosophy. The cap is constructed from marine-grade stainless steel with a textured powder coat finish, assembled as a 5-piece modular shell that ships on a pallet and goes together in a driveway without drilling into the truck.

Full-height wing doors with MOLLE channels on the interior open on open-assist struts, heavy-duty latches seat against a 3M bulb seal around the bed rails, and an integrated air vent keeps the interior usable for gear storage through temperature swings.

The Overland Vehicle Systems truck cap lineup at Truck Bed Supplies includes the Expedition with full wing doors, front and rear windows, and integrated 3rd brake light, along with the Expedition Pro+ that adds a sliding rear window for cab pass-through. Both Overland Vehicle Systems expedition truck cap configurations include roof rails with a 19mm slot for the optional OVS crossbars, which are load-rated to 325 pounds dynamic and 750 pounds static. Beyond the Expedition line, OVS produces roof top tents, 270-degree awnings, bed racks, recovery gear, and storage systems that build out a full overland rig.

Which OVS Product Is Right for You?

Best for Overland and Expedition Builds

The OVS Expedition truck cap is built for buyers outfitting a rig for multi-day trips. Full wing doors with MOLLE channels let you mount recovery gear, Rotopax, or tool pouches on the interior panels, and the integrated roof rails accept the OVS crossbars rated for a loaded rooftop tent. Marine-grade stainless construction handles salt, dust, and prolonged exposure.

Best for Jobsite Hauling and Secure Storage

The Expedition's heavy-duty latches with keyed-alike locks and sealed stainless shell make it a genuine work-truck option. Contractors storing tools overnight get a cap with the security of a metal enclosure without the weight of a traditional steel cap. The no-drill clamping installation preserves the truck's rails for resale.

Best for Cab Pass-Through Access

The Expedition Pro+ is the right OVS Expedition truck cap for buyers who want to pass long items from the cab into the enclosed bed. The sliding rear window adds that functionality without giving up the wing doors or the 3rd brake light integration the standard Expedition offers.

Best for a Full Overland Ecosystem

Buyers building a complete rig from one brand benefit from staying within the OVS catalog. The Expedition cap pairs with OVS rooftop tents, 270-degree Nomadic awnings, recovery shackles, and Discovery bed racks, and parts that cross-reference across the line reduce the odd-sized accessories that typically pile up on a mixed-brand build.
