A more open, more functional truck cap experience — engineered for airflow, visibility, and the way you actually live with your truck. The OPENROAD Sliding Glass Side Truck Cap takes your 2024-2027 Toyota Tacoma 5ft bed to the next level, blending rugged weather protection with thoughtful real-world features including full-window side doors with sliding glass openings that bring fresh air, better visibility, and easier side access to every outing.

Sliding Glass Side Windows — Ventilation Meets Visibility
The standout feature is the full-window side door design with sliding glass openings. Unlike traditional solid-side truck caps, this design opens up the entire side experience — giving you better airflow, better visibility, and a far more comfortable bed environment. Each side features a generous 10" x 12" sliding glass opening that completely transforms how the cap functions day to day.
Dog-Friendly by Design
Bringing your best friend along for the adventure? The 10" x 12" sliding glass window lets your dog enjoy fresh air, better visibility, and a more comfortable experience while you’re parked at camp, hitting a trailhead, or grabbing a meal on the road. Pet-friendly side window setup — perfect for campsites, trail stops, and outdoor breaks.
Wider Side Access for Easier Loading
Larger side openings make it dramatically easier to reach gear, organize cargo, and use the bed efficiently. Whether you’re loading camping equipment, pulling out tools, or grabbing daily essentials, the Sliding Glass Side Series makes every interaction smoother and faster.
Roof-Rail Ready for Bigger Adventures
Engineered for a more capable outdoor lifestyle. Roof-top utility means you can expand your setup with rooftop carriers, gear mounts, rooftop tents, or additional adventure equipment — making this cap a strong fit for camping, overlanding, road trips, and gear-focused Tacoma builds.

FAQ
- What makes this different from a solid-side truck cap? The full-window side doors with 10" x 12" sliding glass openings create a far more open, airy, and visually connected experience than traditional solid-side caps. You get better airflow, better visibility, pet-friendly ventilation, and easier side access — all in one design.
- Will this fit my 2024-2027 Tacoma 6ft Bed? No. This listing is specifically for the 5ft Short Bed. For the 6ft Bed configuration, you’ll need the OPENROAD 6ft bed version — contact Recon Recovery for availability.
- Does this fit the Tacoma Hybrid (i-FORCE MAX)? Yes. The hybrid powertrain doesn’t affect bed geometry. The cap fits all Tacoma 4th-gen trims and powertrains, including the i-FORCE and i-FORCE MAX Hybrid.
- Will this fit the Tacoma TRD Pro or Trailhunter? Yes, both the TRD Pro and Trailhunter use the standard 5ft bed geometry. However, verify any factory bed accessories (Trailhunter onboard air compressor, TRD Pro chase rack prep, bed-mounted off-road lighting) before ordering.
- Can my dog ride in the back with the cap installed? Yes — in fact, the 10" x 12" sliding glass windows were designed with pets in mind. Open the sliding windows for fresh air and better visibility while you’re parked at camp, at a trailhead, or grabbing a meal on the road. Note: Never leave pets in a parked vehicle without proper ventilation, shade, or monitoring, especially in warm weather.
- Does this come with roof crossbars? No. The cap is roof-rail compatible and ready to accept crossbars (sold separately). Compatible crossbars include OPENROAD’s own crossbar system or various aftermarket options.
- Can I mount a rooftop tent on top? Yes. The roof-rail compatible design supports RTT mounting when paired with proper crossbars. Compatible with iKamper BDV Mini, Inspired Overland Trailpeak, OPENROAD PeakRoof LT, OVS Nomadic LT, and most other lightweight-to-mid-weight RTT models. Verify weight capacity with OPENROAD before mounting heavy hard-shell RTTs.
- Is the cap waterproof? The cap features all-season weather protection with sealed design to handle summer sun, winter chill, rain, and snow. Highly water-resistant for typical weather exposure. Prolonged submersion is not recommended.
- How does the sliding glass work? Each side door has a 10" x 12" window section that slides horizontally to open — similar to a sliding rear-cab window on a pickup truck. Open for airflow, close for weather protection or security.
- Are the side doors lockable? Verify current locking configuration with OPENROAD. Most OPENROAD truck caps feature lockable latches for security.
- What’s the installation process? OPENROAD caps typically use a clamp-mounted, no-drill installation on the existing bed rail channel. Plan for 1-2 hours with two people. Plan for 4 people to safely lift the cap onto the bed during installation.
- Does this cap work with factory bed accessories? Compatible with most factory bed accessories including spray-in bed liners and factory tie-downs. The 4th-gen Tacoma’s bed accessories (deck rail system, factory tie-down cleats) typically remain functional with the cap installed. Verify TRD Pro / Trailhunter specific accessories before ordering.
- What about the 2024+ Tacoma’s rear bed outlet (if equipped)? Factory 400W AC outlet access (where equipped) remains functional through the side gullwing door openings.
- Can I remove the cap when I need an open bed? Yes. The clamp-mounted design allows removal without special tools when you need full bed access for hauling oversized loads, dirt bikes, or large cargo.
- What accessories work with this cap? Fully compatible with the OPENROAD ecosystem — crossbars, side storage boxes, 270° awnings, EdgeRoof / FlowRoof / PeakRoof LT rooftop tents, and other OPENROAD truck cap accessories.
- How heavy is the cap? Verify specific weight with OPENROAD before ordering. Mid-size truck caps typically weigh 150-220 lbs. Plan for 4 people to safely lift during installation.
