RSI EVO SmartCap Review

Image
This past June I took delivery of a 2022 Ford Ranger with a 6ft. bed. My next move was to add a camper shell to fit it out for camping. I have had a conventional camper shell before but became interested in the RSI SmartCap. It is made in South Africa and is fabricated from stainless steel. As a consequence, it is about $1000 more than a conventional shell.  What you get is better access with sidewing doors/windows much like a commercial shell. I also liked the strength and ability to support a roof top tent. I am choosing my outfit with flexibility in mind. This is part of the reason I chose the Ranger over other mid-sized trucks as it has the highest payload and tow capacity. (I also could not find a truck with as good of performance and gas mileage. I have driven the Ranger about 4k miles and have never found it wanting for power and acceleration and have averaged at least 25mpg (US Gallon) on the highway over all kinds of mountain terrain with the AC on.)
