The actual product bows at the top. Their entire back half of the truck is flat, wouldn't a lightweight hardtop would be a much better choice over tent poles across the roof?

Especially if they're going for looks.

  • It would be easier to match the angle of the open tent to that of the front of the truck. (Although even the render doesn't match it, so maybe they want the extra angle).

  • They already lose several inches in horizontal space, they could fit a metal prop in there as a redundancy to support the top.

  • Could add a large plexiglass tinted window in the hardtop.

  • It would look a lot better when closed into the bed.
