A RAM 1500 needs a canopy built for a full-size American tub — bigger footprint, higher load rating, and a tray or tray-replacement sized to the chassis. HARIO builds RAM 1500 canopies to suit.
Full-size means custom-fit
American utes like the RAM 1500 have wider, longer beds than a Hilux or Ranger. A canopy has to match that footprint exactly — off-the-shelf Japanese-ute sizes won’t fit.
Tray or tub
Run the canopy on the factory tub, or fit an aluminium tray first for a flat, stronger platform and cleaner canopy mount. We advise based on your build.
Big storage, done right
The extra size is an opportunity: deep gullwing storage, a full crossdeck toolbox, undertray boxes and roof racks. Built in 5052 marine-grade aluminium, backed for life.
Storage that suits a big rig
The RAM’s size is an opportunity: deep gullwing storage, a full crossdeck toolbox, undertray boxes and roof racks all fit comfortably. Build it as a system rather than a single box.
Weight considerations
Even on a full-size ute, aluminium keeps the canopy light so you preserve payload and don’t upset the ride. 5052 marine-grade alloy carries a real load without the mass of steel.
Key takeaways
- Built to the RAM 1500’s full-size bed
- Tray or tub mount — we advise per build
- Room for deep storage, crossdeck, undertray, racks
- Aluminium protects payload and ride
Frequently asked questions
Can you fit an aluminium canopy to a RAM 1500?
Yes — HARIO builds aluminium canopies to suit the RAM 1500’s full-size bed, on the factory tub or a fitted aluminium tray. American utes need canopies sized to their larger footprint, not off-the-shelf Japanese-ute sizes.
Do I need a tray for a RAM 1500 canopy?
Not necessarily — the canopy can mount on the factory tub, or on an aluminium tray for a flatter, stronger platform. HARIO advises based on your build.
Are RAM 1500 canopies custom-built?
Yes — because of the RAM’s larger bed, canopies are built to suit. Contact HARIO with your vehicle details for a quote.
