I haven't seen a Raptor with an A.R.E. MK Series Bed Cap yet. So here is mine.
I got the OTR option, which is like a spray on bed liner.

I purchased the cap from Hall's Camper Sales in Wilmington, NC.

Thanks to some advice from @Hockster and @Nordic Man

Overall, I'm quite pleased with it. The fit is perfect. The look works. I was worried it might not flow, but I think it does, and that's all that matters.

Now I'll be able to fit all the baby stuff for those long hauls back home for the holidays.

I really liked my ARE caps on my Dullys. I had 2 issues on both caps I broke the cloths hangers and the bigger problem was the rear corners cracked which then allowed the door to rattle and some times come open. On both trucks we think the issue was the dully stiff suspension and lots of towing. Both caps were replaced free of charge and on the second truck both caps were suppose to be updated versions to fix that issue but I was able to break then anyway.

This corner issue happened in the 90s and early 2000s and so far the Raptor owners the have ARE caps have not mentioned this cropping up. If I were to buy a cap this is the brand I would get.

I would also add a 4th clamp to each side since we do get off road. Are going to extend the graphics?

Hockster is so right! I long for the extra cargo room that the cap provides over my awesome Bak flip covers in the winter. I just suffer because I love the look of the Raptor without the cap.

Great job Joe! Get the bed rug and you won't need a motel room anymore!!! Any crazy plans to mount some additional lighting now that you have all that space up top? You could go really wild with some light setups.....

One tip, if I could offer it. Do not depend on those clamps to hold that thing on if you intend to go off-roading very hard. They are great on the highway, but will work themselves loose in the rough stuff. I know it's a tough thing to do, but drill some holes and use some bolts/nuts to keep that thing on......
