Take some time to measure the dimensions of your truck bed. This will help you find a cap that will fit your truck. If you know people who have a similar truck, get their take on what type of truck cap to purchase.

Tip #3: Do Your Research

Thanks to the internet, research is a lot easier. There are tons of websites that will help you find the right truck cap.

When doing research youll want to be sure to check:

Manufacturer Websites Here youll get all the basic product details that you need to make an informative decision. Youll get pricing information, available accessories and warranty information from the truck cap manufacturer website.

Review Websites Search the web for unbiased reviews on the various truck caps. Keep track of all the positive and negative things about each truck cap

Social Media Thanks to sites like Facebook, you can now ask your social network of friends for their thoughts on the best truck cap. Additionally, many manufacturers also have Facebook pages. You can ask many of the actual cap owners what they think of the product.

Tip #4: Visit Some Stores

Once you have a good idea of a few truck caps that you like, go into a few stores to take a look at them.

This is a great time to get any questions answered that you couldnt figure out during the research phase. Some questions you may want to ask include:

How much is installation?

Are there any hidden/additional costs?

What does the warranty cover?

What is the difference between truck cap A and truck cap B?

Tip #5: Think It Over

When it comes to purchasing a truck cap, you want to give yourself some time to think it over. Impulse decisions are not always the best idea.
