MASSILLON, OHIO - A.R.E. offers its popular line of truck caps and tonneau covers for all cab and box configurations on the 2009 Ford F-150 pickup.

Designed according to the F-150 truck bed's exact size and shape, A.R.E.'s fiberglass truck cap and tonneau covers are painted to match using the OEM paint code for a high-quality appearance. The toppers and their painted finishes are backed by a limited lifetime warranty from A.R.E. for the life of the pickup truck they are originally installed on. 

"Our truck caps and tonneau covers deliver increased functionality to Ford's latest F-Series, stowing items when not in use, protecting gear from harsh weather and keeping equipment safe from possible theft with our heavy-duty locks," explained Bryan Baker, director of marketing, A.R.E.  "Adding an A.R.E. topper is the ideal choice for drivers wanting to get the most utility possible from their trucks."
