Over the years, we’ve steadily modified our 2014 Ram 2500 to better fit our needs. From our smooth-riding ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension to the 35-inch-tall Nitto Ridge Grapplers that keep us moving every day, each upgrade was made with a purpose. Equipped with a 6.7L Cummins diesel, the ¾-ton hauler often finds itself with a trailer in tow and the go-to vehicle for long-distance adventures. It was with this adventure-based mentality that we decided on our latest upgrade.

It’s a CX HD Series cap from the leader in quality U.S.-made bed covers- A.R.E. While A.R.E. has a variety of bed caps, the CX HD Series stood out to us for a few reasons. Maybe one of the most important was the fact that it comes with an internal aluminum skeleton that ties into the roof rails. This configuration allows us to load 550 pounds on the top of the cap- making it ideal for everything from a basic roof top tent to a custom roof rack.
