Everything else arrives in the box.

Because every NGHTOWL build is manufactured to order, production timelines vary.
Lead times depend on:
- Model selected

We’ll always give you the most up-to-date information available.

Our sealed aluminum construction, reinforced edges, and locking hatches are designed to keep your gear protected from rain, snow, dust, and everyday abuse.
Weight varies by bed length and strength option.
On average:
- Short beds: approx. 200–275 lbs
- Long beds: approx. 280–350 lbs
Light enough to lift with a hoist or a few capable friends.
Strength options are selectable per model.
Upgrading strength increases aluminum thickness and structural reinforcement — improving load capacity while adding weight.
