As ARB’s flagship canopy, the Ascent sets a new benchmark for vehicle accessories, delivering advanced features and robust construction tailored for demanding off-road, commercial, and recreational use.

Enhanced Security and Usability for Everyday Adventures

This canopy is designed to address the real-world challenges faced by Amarok owners—whether it’s protecting valuable gear from theft, shielding cargo from the elements, or enabling easy access to the truck bed. The Ascent Hardtop Canopy integrates with the vehicle’s central locking system, ensuring that all access points are secure with the touch of a button. The electric push-button lift-up side windows and slam-shut latches make loading and unloading efficient, even when your hands are full or conditions are tough.

• Expedition and touring builds requiring secure, weatherproof storage
