I have a 2017 Taco, double cab with the 6' box. I also have a ARB RTT that I want to mount. My question is about Canopy's and weight distribution.
Most LEER, A.R.E and Snugtop are rated for around 150# dynamic and 300# static weight. My tent is 150# and I push the scales at approx 230#. I am all for pushing the limits of a product but I don't want to spend 2000-4000 dollars kitting out and then get my fat a$% up there only to have it crack.
Also, I need a canopy and not just a bed frame. I travel with 3 dogs and the deck of the truck is being fitted with drawer system. Canopy is the best option for me, but I am very open for other opinion and options. And no, getting rid of the dogs isn't one of them.
So what are people using? What brands? What options?
I apologize ahead of time if this has been asked and answered before or if this is in the wrong section of the forum.
