A.R.E. MX cap height?

[R. James]

I'm new to the group, waiting on delivery of a '23 XLT. Shopping for a a cap and wondering if anyone can tell me the height of an installed MX cap. Also the height of the radio antennae. Trying to figure clearances, as I live in Northern NY and need to get it under cover for the winter.
Thanks for any info. Rusd

I have an A.R.E. MX topper on order that should arrive soon - hopefully this week.

Will update with pictures and measurements when it gets installed.

With no rails, only tracks it sits right at or below the antenna. The anntenna is listed as the Maverick overall height on the spec page of Ford.com. Mine is a Tremor so its 0.8" taller aswell. The whole thing is just over 6ft I beleive. Where its parked right now is all rough dirt so I cant get you a measure today. Maybe tomorrow or tonight after my wife gets home with it.

This is parked next to a FX4. 2nd picture shows the Tremor antenna is more "erect"! The 3rd picture show the rear glass opens higher than the roof. Will check later how much higher.

I can also measure my A.R.E. MX dimensions if those provided by @Maverickman74 are not enough. My shell is on a 23 XLT EB AWD.

FWIW, I have the Yakima TrackTowers on the Yakima LandingPad (#1) with RoundBars installed on the A.R.E factory tracks if you need or want those measurements.

I also have the naked roof-mounted Yakima BaseLine towers with RoundBars on the cab if you need these measurements.

I will be posting details about the Yakima racks on MTC later today. I am preparing detailed information for Niles at Long McArthur Ford (@fordvideoguy) in response to questions in the live stream last night.

Thanks, this helps a lot, especially the information on the antenna.

Sorry for the delay, along with the fire on the island you may have heard of, I also threw out my back yesterday. Better today and we are all fine from the fires, though it is horrific.

So my wife just came home and I got out the tape. Its parked on rough ground but it looks like the height is just under 70" without racks. Since this is on a Tremor I also got some controlled figures. the height of the rear glass when opened is under 52" from the flat surface of the rear bumper. Also the top of the cap is 22.5" from the top of the bed rail just above the rear tire.

Hope that helps.

Here is a few pictures from different perspectives.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but do you have two different-style side windows on that cap? If so does the passenger side one slide open or just pop open like the official one from Ford?

Hope you and your family are staying safe out there Shane. Pictures in the news look horrific.

Driver's side is full pop up passengers is a half slider front has window to the cab. Dogs get AC and lovins access and. ventilation that way.

It's on the other side of the island but it's full town F5 tornado level damage. Fires still burning this morning. We're safe but about 1/5 of the islands residents are displaced or mourning.
