Alu-Cab ModCAP Tailgate Edition Camper
Alu-Cab ModCAP Tailgate Edition Camper
Newly unveiled. Coming soon to Canada through Cap-it.
The Alu-Cab ModCAP Tailgate Edition is the newest evolution of Alu-Cab’s modular camper platform, unveiled at Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Designed to simplify the path into a true aluminum camper system, the Tailgate Edition retains your factory tailgate while delivering secure aluminum storage below and elevated sleeping above.
Think of it as the bridge between a premium truck canopy and a full expedition camper.
Introductory pre-order pricing will be available for a limited launch period.
A Simpler Path Into the Alu-Cab Camper World
Traditional ModCAP Camper systems replace the factory tailgate with a full-height rear walk-through door, creating the most integrated camper experience possible.
The new ModCAP Tailgate Edition takes a different approach.
By retaining your OEM tailgate, Alu-Cab has created a more approachable, modular camper system that simplifies installation, future removal, and overall setup flexibility while still delivering the premium build quality the brand is known for.
- Retains your factory tailgate
- Simplified installation and fitment
- Secure aluminum storage below
- Elevated sleeping system above
- Modular architecture designed to grow with your build
- Available in both 2-sleeper and family 4-sleeper configurations
Choose Your Side Configuration
The ModCAP Tailgate Edition is available in two side configurations depending on how you use your truck and camper setup.
Solid Side Panels
Ideal for customers prioritizing:
- Maximum privacy
- Secure gear storage
- Expedition-style builds
- Reduced visibility into the camper
- A cleaner utility-focused appearance
Side Windows
Perfect for customers wanting:
- More natural light
- Improved visibility
- A more open camping feel
- Better airflow and overall campsite ambience
Choose Your Sleeping Setup
Build the camper around how you travel.
- 2-Sleeper Tent, compact and expedition-ready for solo travellers or couples
- Family 4-Sleeper Tent, expanded sleeping space for families and long-haul adventures
Whether you're building a weekend touring rig or a full family overland setup, the Tailgate Edition allows you to tailor the system around your lifestyle.
Now You're in the Alu-Cab Ecosystem
One of the biggest advantages of entering the Alu-Cab family is access to one of the most developed modular overland ecosystems in the world.
The ModCAP Tailgate Edition is designed to grow over time as your build evolves.
- 270° Shadow Awnings
- Internal molle storage panels
- Integrated water tank systems
- Storage bags and organization accessories
- Lighting and power solutions
Start with the camper setup you need today and expand it over time as your adventures grow.
Truck Bed Sizes Available
- Mid-Size 5' Bed
- Mid-Size 6' Bed
- Full-Size 5.5' Bed
- Full-Size 6.5' Bed
Important: Final Canadian fitment details are still being confirmed. Cap-it will help verify application compatibility before order fulfillment.
Installation Options
Unlike the full ModCAP Canopy Camper, the Tailgate Edition is designed around easier installation and future removal if desired.
This opens up more flexible installation options depending on how permanent or integrated you want your setup to become.
Base Installation
Includes:
- Uncrating and assembly of all components
- Basic installation of the ModCAP Tailgate Edition Camper system
- Mounting and alignment of the camper structure
Standard Installation
Includes everything from Base Installation plus:
- Interior lighting wiring
- Interior power integration
- Additional electrical setup and finishing
Optional Bed Sealing
Pickup truck beds are designed to evacuate water, which unfortunately works against you when trying to keep water out.
Optional bed sealing services allow us to seal factory bed openings and improve overall weather resistance significantly.
While we can add tailgate sealing solutions, the OEM tailgate opening itself can never be made completely waterproof.
If absolute weather sealing and a true walk-through camper experience are priorities, we would typically recommend stepping up to the full Alu-Cab ModCAP Canopy Camper with complete tailgate replacement and integrated rear walk-through door.
Why This Product Matters
The ModCAP Tailgate Edition fills the gap between a rooftop tent setup and a full expedition camper.
It gives customers secure aluminum storage, elevated sleeping, modular expandability, and real Alu-Cab engineering without requiring a fully integrated camper conversion from day one.
For many truck owners, this may become the sweet spot between capability, flexibility, and long-term upgrade potential.
Coming Soon to Canada
The Alu-Cab ModCAP Tailgate Edition has just been unveiled internationally and is not yet available for immediate Canadian delivery.
Cap-it is currently reviewing final Canadian specifications, fitment details, pricing, and availability.
Introductory pre-order pricing will be available for a limited launch period.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ModCAP Tailgate Edition?
It is a newly unveiled version of the Alu-Cab ModCAP camper platform that retains your factory tailgate while adding secure aluminum storage and rooftop sleeping capability.
How is it different from the standard ModCAP Camper?
The Tailgate Edition keeps your OEM tailgate. The standard ModCAP Canopy Camper replaces the tailgate with a full-height rear walk-through door for a more integrated camper experience.
Which version is best?
The Tailgate Edition is designed for customers wanting a simpler, more flexible camper setup with easier installation and future removal potential.
The full ModCAP Canopy Camper remains the premium option for customers wanting the most integrated and weather-resistant camper experience possible.
Can I add accessories later?
Yes. The ModCAP system is designed around future expansion with awnings, storage systems, water tanks, molle panels, kitchen systems, lighting, and more.
Is the Tailgate Edition waterproof?
The camper system itself is designed for outdoor use and weather resistance, but because the factory tailgate is retained, it cannot achieve the same full sealing capability as the complete ModCAP Canopy Camper walk-through system.
Is professional installation recommended?
Absolutely. Cap-it can assist with assembly, installation, wiring, and optional truck bed sealing services.
Cap-it Expert Take
This could become one of the most important Alu-Cab launches for customers wanting a true modular camper system without committing immediately to a full walk-through expedition camper build.
It keeps the truck familiar, simplifies ownership, and opens the door into the full Alu-Cab ecosystem.
For customers wanting maximum simplicity and flexibility, the Tailgate Edition is going to attract a lot of attention.
