Had the OVS Expedition Truck for the Taco now for over 2 months and used on several camping trips! What do we think? Is it worth the money? Find out in our review!
Bad experience with this overland company, ordered my truck cap for gladiator and two months later still hasn't shipped, customer service has bood faced lied to me 3 times via email and 4 times via phone (and good luck getting them to anwser at all once you call with a complaint as they block your number after the first complaint). Lies about when it will ship, when they will receive shipments, when they have shipped and even sending (email) a bogus tracking number... I finally had to go the fraud route and cancel the order after 3 months of this (i respectfully waited 2 months before i started asking questions and being lied to) and had to mark it as fraud, so i had to get a new credit card as well, and according to M.C. this company has been included in many fraud charges, so i was far from the first. Dont waste time and money thinking you're saving time and money, cus you aint.
@EdwinCastro-dv6us I would love to hear how ya like it! How easy to put together and place on your truck! How your delivery went! I am sure folks would love to hear your experience! Blessings!
Very good review, thank you! This is a viable option especially at the price point. I still don't understand why manufacturers of metal bed caps won't provide other color options? I can't imagine the inside temp (vent or no vent), when it is 100 + degrees outside. Neutral paint colors like silver, grey, taupe, or even tan would be great.
Yeah, Not real sure why no color choices either. All the metal one's I have seen have ALL been black! Yes, I am sure the inside temps get pretty high with sun beating on that black metal! Thanks for dropping by my friend! Blessings!
I couldn't justify paying 4 grand for for a hardshell for the other competitors, but this seems to be a good choice Affordable and does the same, too bad I just bought my wildtopper with a softshell, I'll sell my softop next year and save up for this
@@ohhailkingbobby1073 oh dang dude! Enjoy what ya have for a bit and hopefully you’ll have the opportunity to pick one up! By then they should be better stocked too! Appreciate you sharing! Blessings!
Yes, the rack rails are there and they are going to be coming out with some crossbars specifically for this rig. I hope to snag some when they do come out!
@@alerma7 the Tacoma bed is a bit short, but maybe with some of the larger bed truck versions? We have not tried, for us it is mainly a means of storage and transportation.
@@Patochidesu Hey there! Thanks for dropping by! They have locking nuts on the inside. Antone trying to get in that way would play sit and spin! Hahahaha!

Wow! Man, I really hate you had such a bad experience with them! Mine have always been positive, albeit sometimes a bit slow, but positive none the less! Thanks for sharing your experience with other folks! Blessings!
Hey thanks for dropping by! Hadn’t noticed any noticeable sag, except for when towing, I did not reinforce leaf springs. Hope that answers your questions! Blessings!
Thanks for posting the follow up, I was looking into getting one for my gladiator and I just might pull the trigger on one now.
You are very welcome! Thanks for dropping by!

@@northpointaxe6167 I pre-ordered, it shipped the day they estimated it would 3 months prior. showed up without any issues from freight.
I ordered mine early May and will receive it next week. Can't wait!
You will love it! Have 5 people on hand to place it!
Did you receive it? Hearing a lot of people not receiving their’s after 3 months.

Mark, great informative video, does yours have rails on top to add a roof rack? Thanks!
Yes, the rack rails are there and they are going to be coming out with some crossbars specifically for this rig. I hope to snag some when they do come out!
Looking at one of these for a Jeep gladiator.
@@donausmus4281 we love ours for the Tacoma! I think the owner has one for his gladiator!
And how do you wash the truck cab rear outside window and the front outside window of the cap?
@@allenshipman I hear ya dude! Mine just stays dirty! Hahahaha!
Well I guess you could just take the cap off! 😅
@@TheRunawayGang I just ordered one from OVS. I’m excited to get it. I’ll do a review on it and the company once I get it and get it installed.
@@allenshipman Would love to hear your experience with it!
Thank you for this review. Can you sleep inside the cap?
@@alerma7 the Tacoma bed is a bit short, but maybe with some of the larger bed truck versions? We have not tried, for us it is mainly a means of storage and transportation.
The 1st thing I noticed was that the hinges are on the outside. There's no security that way.
@@Patochidesu Hey there! Thanks for dropping by! They have locking nuts on the inside. Antone trying to get in that way would play sit and spin! Hahahaha!
Just wondering, Does it ever have any leaks?

Good information!!
@@joniriggen7313 Glad ya got something out of it girl!
Did the weight of the cap make your rear end sag? Did you reinforce your leaf springs?
Hey thanks for dropping by! Hadn’t noticed any noticeable sag, except for when towing, I did not reinforce leaf springs. Hope that answers your questions! Blessings!
@@TheRunawayGang thank you for the reply and your help!! This cap is on the top of my list for my next mod.
What kind of tape are you recommending we use for stoping the leak?
@@ryankucera6912 butyl tape. It comes with the cap. I just didn’t use enough.
@@TheRunawayGang
Where did you purchase? Direct or reseller?
How is the wind noise? Any big changes?
Hey there! Thanks for dropping by! Haven’t noticed any additional wind noise at all with the truck cap addition!
Anyway to mount a 270 awning on this cap?
Hey there! It has rack rails integrated into the roof of it so I am sure you could!
Are you able to open the back window in order to have access to the truck cabin?
@@unionsanfelipe Thanks for dropping by! Nope, window is solid and cannot be opened. Hope that answers your question. Blessings!
