Headquartered in Bozeman, Montana, Go Fast Campers has declared itself making the world's strongest truck topper that can support up to 800 pounds of dynamic load. The truck topper has been internally reinforced with steel, whereas; the outer tubular space frame consists of extruded aluminium. Apparently, this GFG Platform Topper is sturdier than the bed rails of any other contemporary pick-up truck.
{alcircleadd}To prove the static load capacity of these toppers, the company has very carefully balanced a 4,500-pound Ford F-250 on top of a GFG Platform Topper mounted Toyota Tacoma. Although Jalopnik alumnus Wes Siler finds this an exaggeration, the move definitely justifies the company's claim.
These aluminium-clad toppers are suitable for mini-trucks and can be used during camping expeditions and adventure rides. But the product is not that affordable, thus limiting its utilisation to elite users.
It has a tubular space frame with diagonal bracing systems to withstand any pressure from the roof due to the added load on the head. The outside covering, forged with aluminium, does not help bear weight; rather, these are more like protective layers on the framework that can also transform into a cabana shade resembling structure.
GFG claims that the topper has been reinforced with aluminium billet components which can be deeply embedded in the truck's structure. Though it is a heavy-duty topper, the addition of aluminium cuts down the added weightage on the car's body, making it only 135 pounds.
