OVS Expedition Truck Cap 2019-2026 RAM 1500 5.7 Ft Bed

If you’re like most Dodge RAM 1500 owners, your truck isn’t a daily driver; it’s a powerhouse built for hauling gear and tackling long miles and tough trails. Choosing the right topper is the key to unlocking its full potential. That’s why PeakGear offers the OVS Expedition Dodge RAM 1500 Truck Cap, engineered to turn any 2019–2026 RAM 1500 with a 5.7 ft bed into an adventure-ready overland rig.

Overlanders know that a good Dodge RAM 1500 truck cap should protect your gear, secure your cargo, and expand what your truck can do both on and off the road. The OVS Expedition Truck Cap delivers all three; it turns your pickup into a weatherproof, lockable platform that’s equally at home hauling tools during the week or carrying rooftop tents and recovery gear on the weekend.

As overlanders ourselves, we know the frustration of damp sleeping bags or dust-covered food supplies after a long day on the trail, and nobody wants the risk of having their (let’s be honest, often expensive) camping and overlanding gear stolen. This is why the OVS Expedition Dodge RAM 1500 Truck Cap was designed to fit your needs. With marine-grade stainless steel, waterproof seals, keyed latches, and more, it gives you peace of mind no matter where you roam. And if you’sre planning a full expedition build across multiple rigs, you’ll find the same proven design available for other trucks like the OVS Expedition Truck Cap for the Ford F-150.

With its rugged construction, no-drill installation, integrated roof rails, sturdy locks, break-resistant windows, and more, this topper can be the foundation of any reliable RAM 1500 overland build, including your next one.

IMPORTANT: RAM Trucks with RAMBOX trims are NOT COMPATIBLE!

The OVS Expedition Dodge RAM 1500 Truck Cap is a purpose-built, expedition-grade solution engineered for serious overlanders who demand strength, security, and the adaptability necessary to handle every bump in the road (whether figurative or literal). Every part of the OVS Expedition Truck Cap has been designed with durability and function in mind, ensuring your RAM 1500 can handle any adventure. Here’s a closer look at what sets this durable Dodge RAM 1500 truck cap apart.

• Marine-Grade Stainless Steel for Strength and Longevity
  Plenty of truck caps rely on aluminum because it’s cheap and light. But aluminum bends, corrodes, and loses its finish after a couple of hard winters. The Expedition Cap uses marine-grade stainless steel for a reason: you don’t quit on the trail, so neither should your truck cap. This is the same material used in boat hardware, which means it’s designed to shrug off salt spray, corrosion, ice chipping and more. Your truck cap might not be braving the open sea, but this does mean it’ll shrug off trail dust. For RAM 1500 owners who wheel hard, that means you’re not worrying about dents or rust streaks. You’re buying a cap that will still look solid ten years down the road.
• Textured Powder Coat Finish for Durable Protection
  A truck topper takes a beating from everything from branches on forest service roads to gravel spray on the highway. The textured powder-coat finish gives this cap a tough outer skin that resists UV damage, scratches, and chips. Plus, it’s also practical. The matte black surface hides trail wear, won’t glare in bright sun, and adds that aggressive overland aesthetic that makes a RAM 1500 look like it’s ready for Baja.
• True Fit Technology for a Seamless, Secure Fit
  A cap that fits poorly is worse than no cap at all. Gaps let in dust and leaks soak your gear, and rattles ruin every drive. OVS solved that with their True Fit technology: precise CAD design that matches the lines of your RAM bed perfectly. The result is a cap that looks factory, seals like it should, and stays tight – even after thousands of trail miles. No more duct-taping seams or hosing out dust after every trip.
• No-Drill Installation that Preserves Your Truck’s Integrity
  If you’ve ever hesitated to buy an accessory because it meant putting holes in your truck, you’ll appreciate this: the OVS Expedition Cap mounts with a no-drill clamping system. That means that not only is installation much quicker and easier than taking a drill to your RAM 1500, but your bed rails stay intact, your resale value stays high, and you can install it on a truck you’re leasing without getting the dealership mad at you. (Unfortunately, we don’t recommend trying to return it to the dealership arguing that you’ve improved the truck – it’s unlikely to work.) Best of all, this means it’s easy to put on and remove: you can mount it up for an expedition, then pull it off if you need the open bed for a work project, with no permanent scars left behind.
• Integrated Roof Rails form the Foundation for Any Adventure
  One of the smartest features on the OVS Expedition Truck Cap for the RAM 1500 is the integrated roof rail system. It turns your truck into a full versatile platform, rather than just a hauler. Throw on OVS Roof Top Tents for quick setup camping, or pair the rails with OVS Nomadic Awnings to build shaded outdoor space wherever you stop. With a 325-lb dynamic rating and a 750-lb static capacity, you can carry serious gear without worry. Bikes, kayaks, fuel, recovery boards, the list goes on – if you can strap it, the Expedition Cap can handle it.
• Built-In Air Vent & Waterproof Seals Create a Breathable, Dry Environment
  Every overlander has a horror story about damp sleeping bags or food gone bad thanks to condensation. The Expedition Cap solves this with a built-in vent that keeps air moving and automotive-grade waterproof seals that lock out rain, snow, and trail dust. That balance of airflow without leaks is critical. It means your gear stays dry but doesn’t smell like a wet tent after two days on the trail. For anyone who’s lived out of their truck for a week, that’s the kind of detail you learn to appreciate fast.
• Heavy-Duty Latches and Solid Hinges Offer Uncompromising Security
  Security isn’t optional when you’ve got thousands of dollars in tools, camping and overlanding equipment, or camera gear in the bed. The Expedition Cap comes with keyed-alike heavy-duty latches and reinforced hinges that don’t back down from constant use or trail vibration. Close the gullwings, turn the key, and presto: What was once a truck is now a very large rolling lockbox. It’s that simple.
• Tempered Glass and 3rd Brake Light for Safety and Visibility
  Visibility matters – this is true whether you’re on the trail or in traffic. The Expedition Cap includes DOT-approved tempered glass windows that let you check your cargo without opening everything up. They’re stronger than standard glass, too, and reinforced with a steel mesh insert so you don’t have to worry about breakage on rough roads. On top of that, RAM models get an integrated LED third brake light, which is a small but vital safety feature that helps you stay visible when hauling heavy on the interstate or pulling out of dusty trailheads.
• High-Pressure Struts and Modular Construction for Convenience and Customization
  Loading and unloading gear is a constant with overlanding, and nobody wants to wrestle with heavy lids in the dark. The OVS Expedition Cap uses gas-assist struts that lift and hold the side panels open, even if you’re parked off-camber. Quick, easy, no fuss. The modular construction is just as important. It gives you the freedom to build out the interior however you like: drawer systems, slide-out kitchens, or a full-on gear wall. Over time, your needs change, and this cap is designed to change with you.
• Lifetime Limited Warranty: Confidence for the Long Haul
  OVS backs their Expedition Truck Cap, whether for your RAM 1500 or any other compatible truck, with a lifetime limited warranty. That’s not marketing fluff, either – it’s real peace of mind. When you’re buying gear that’s supposed to follow your truck from one adventure to the next, knowing the manufacturer stands behind it matters. For overlanders, warranty isn’t just paperwork. It’s a promise that your investment is protected no matter how far you travel.

You don’t invest in a truck cap because of how it looks. You use it because of how it changes the way you use your truck every single day. The OVS Expedition Cap turns a capable RAM 1500 into something more: a reliable tool during the week, a secure basecamp on the weekend, and a platform for whatever adventure you throw at it.

• From Daily Driver to Expedition Vehicle
  During the week, your truck might be loaded with tools or sports gear. On Friday night, that same RAM transforms into your escape pod to the outdoors. With the OVS Expedition Cap, you’re not constantly unloading and reloading gear, because you’ve got secure truck bed storage that keeps everything locked, dry, and organized. Picture leaving work, grabbing a cooler, and heading straight for the mountains. No drama, no soaked duffels from a sudden downpour. Just gear that’s ready when you are.
• The Foundation of Your Overland Build
  If you’re chasing the dream of a full RAM 1500 overlanding build, this cap makes a great starting point. The integrated roof rails give you the freedom to mount a rooftop tent, awning, or solar panel system. Inside the bed, you can stack Durable Dry Cargo Boxes, add a drawer system, or set up a slide-out kitchen. Instead of juggling loose totes and tarps, you’re building a space that functions like a mini-camper at a fraction of the cost. It’s compact, efficient, and ready for extended trips off-grid.
• Uncompromising Protection for Your Gear
  Overlanders carry expensive equipment like recovery boards, fridges, camp kitchens, drones, cameras. Leaving that in an open bed is an invitation for theft when other people are around, or damage when they aren’t. The OVS Expedition Cap keeps it all sealed behind keyed latches and weatherproof seals. Even on washboard roads, your gear stays dry, your electronics stay safe, and your essentials stay where you put them. Pair the cap with Essential Recovery Gear, and you’ve got the peace of mind to tackle trails that most weekend warriors would shy away from.
• Enhanced Utility for Any Adventure
  Not every trip is a multi-day expedition. Sometimes it’s about making daily life easier. With the OVS Expedition Truck Cap, your RAM 1500 can haul camping gear one weekend and mountain bikes the next, all while you use it to lug glassblowing supplies or photography equipment during the week for your day job. It’s equally useful when the weather turns, whether you’re facing hail, snow, sleet, or just plain rain, because your bed becomes a climate-resistant vault instead of an exposed box. That’s the kind of versatility that makes a topper less of an accessory and more of a game-changer.
• Ready for Anything: A Versatile Platform
  The best part about the Expedition Cap is that it adapts. Heading out for RAM 1500 camping in Utah’s red rock desert? Mount your tent and water storage. Loading up for hunting season? Keep firearms and gear secure out of sight. Taking the family on a road trip? The extra storage means you don’t have to sacrifice comfort inside the cab. When you install the OVS Expedition Cap, it gives your truck the ability – the freedom – to evolve with your life. From off-road adventure to weekday workhorse, the Expedition Cap makes sure your RAM is always ready for more.
