The Compact Commander.
The (not so) secret strength behind the Bobcat-SB lies in its intelligent short-box design and modular construction. Weighing roughly 685 lbs, it installs quickly on any domestic ¾-ton or one-ton short-bed pickup (Ford, Chevy, Dodge 2000+). A removable sub-frame with integrated fork-lift pockets allows for easy drop-in installation or on-site removal, while optional camper jacks let crews detach the unit and redeploy the truck in minutes. Each canopy includes dual 18″-deep, 24″-tall side cabinets, a gas-assisted tonneau lid, and whale-tail compression latches for secure, weather-tight storage. Venting and optional pull-out drawers, adjustable shelving, or tool mounts make the Bobcat-SB adaptable to any mission profile, from wildfire response to utility service.
Finishing options range from Sandtex Black or Fire Red powder coat to high-visibility NFPA chevrons for emergency applications. Built from marine-grade aluminum, the Bobcat-SB resists corrosion, carries its load quietly, and performs reliably in extreme Canadian climates. Its compact form makes it ideal for departments and crews who need maneuverability without giving up organized, protected storage. Backed by Rival’s customer-first support and decades of fabrication experience, the Bobcat-SB stands as the most capable short-box canopy in its class.
