The arrival of the new Toyota Hilux N90 in 2026 marks a new era for off-road enthusiasts, and Alu-Cab responds with its flagship model. The Hardtop Alu-Cab ("Contour") is specifically designed to adapt to the lines of the latest Hilux, offering perfect aesthetic and technical integration. Made from roller-formed aluminum, this Hardtop combines exceptional rigidity with a featherweight of approximately 68 kg, making it the lightest in its category. This lightness is a major asset for preserving the dynamic behavior of your pick-up, reducing fuel consumption and limiting fatigue of your suspensions.
Unlike often fragile kit models, the model ("Contour") arrives fully welded and factory assembled. This one-piece design eliminates the risk of leaks at the joints and guarantees structural strength capable of withstanding the most brittle tracks on the globe. Whether you choose the version with side windows for visibility or full panels for increased safety of your equipment, you benefit from an efficient double sealing system. Your equipment is thus protected from fine dust, torrential rain and extreme vibrations encountered during your expeditions.
The Hardtop Alu-Cab ("Contour") is not just a dumpster protection, it is a real expedition platform. With a static load capacity of 400 kg and a dynamic load of 200 kg, it easily supports your roof tents, tanks or additional spare wheels. The integrated roof rails allow quick attachment of accessories or load bars. Inside, LED lighting mounted on swivel brackets makes it easy to organize your bivouac when night falls. Fully customizable, it is compatible with the entire ecosystem Alu-Cab : integrated kitchens, storage drawers and table supports.
The mounting hardware is designed to attach directly to the edges of your Hilux bed. To guarantee perfect sealing and not compromise the warranty, it is necessary to remove or modify any Bedliner existing in order to allow direct contact between the Hardtop and the metal structure of the vehicle.
Alu-Cab uses a double seal system specifically tested in the dusty and humid conditions of South Africa and Australia. Although no pick-up bed can be guaranteed to be 100% airtight in submerged conditions, this model is one of the most efficient on the market against infiltration of rain and dust.
Absolutely. Thanks to its welded aluminum structure and integrated roof rails, the model ("Contour") accepts a dynamic load of 200 kg. It's the ideal support for the heaviest roof top tents, while still maintaining a margin of safety for your other adventure gear.
