    Mitsubishi triton canopy

    I'm looking at getting a canopy for my 2018 triton, what's your recommendations for best value for money?
    Sliding side windows preferred. Beaut utes, fully equipped, ute master anyone else I should look into or steer clear of.
    Will need to be in white, and what's not going to break the bank, I know I'll more than likely be paying around 2-3k

    Cheers bevan

    A mate recently went through the same process.He ended up buying an alloy dog box with water tight storage on one side.It was comparable price to a canopy,lockable and removable.

    Be aware that some canopies leak dust and water. I’ve recently made investigations into my d max fitted one and the seal finish is appalling.

    Think I ended up with a crown one 2018 triton as well. It's ok but was a balls up getting it fitted, leaks a bit through the car wash but not much dust I have noticed, dogs probably produce more. From memory it was quite a bit more than 2-3k

    Yes usually the seals around the tailgate are terrible. One way to help minimise dust getting into the back is to leave the front facing window of the canopy open a bit (if it has a front sliding window), this helps create a bit of positive pressure inside the canopy and stops the dust getting in the tailgate.

    Got a Aeroklas canopy on my Triton ute. Lower profile than the crown ones, and no need to drill holes in the tray for mounting. Not going to fit into your $2-3k budget tho.
    Seems to work as expected.

    2-3k was just a rough guess as to what they might cost, I've since learned different

    Alot of dust comes in the tailgate, five mil gaps at the sides. You can buy tailgate sealing kits off ebay etc ( 29 dollars for 2014 triton)After a few trips down dusty roads most of the gear was covered in dust. I fitted some foam seals I sourced through work, way better but still would like to get a genuine kit.
