Aftermarket trays can be made to your size/requirements and there are plenty of small engineering and fabrication businesses that make beautiful looking trays. Most flat trays from dealers are aluminium with fold-down and removable sides (courier-style). Some options might allow both, but it’s usually a trade-off one way or another. If you just want to get out and get onto the hard four-wheel-drive spots, then access to recovery gear or spare tyres as well as weight and ground clearance might be more important to you. For example, if you’re camping or touring you want something that makes life easier and more enjoyable to use. Lastly, consider is how you want to pack and access your gear. You don’t want to become one of those busted ute images circling the internet so again thought has to be given to what you pack and what you tow. There is also the possibility that the extra weight might affect your suspension, brakes and steering if it’s too heavy or packed incorrectly. It is possible to keep your payloads legal and safe and make the most of the option you choose.
It may be beneficial for some if done carefully, as it would allow you to shift some weight from a van or trailer into the car. Having a canopy might allow you to load more into the back of the ute, but that’s not always a good idea. The weight of each option affects your GVM and your available payload, which will determine what you can load into and also tow with the vehicle. Keep in mind though, whatever you add to the back of your ute is weight. If you’re not sure what suits you best, you’re reading the right feature. Some people will choose an option for the back of their ute based on work, others based on recreation. Tubs and factory trays are only two of a large number of cargo-carrying options available. Most utes arrive as standard with a tub unless you select the factory tray option. Last time was for a large air bubble that had broken out, they fixed it on goodwill due to it being a month out of warranty, I then pointed out it had to have been there since manufacturing, warranty period or not.If you’re thinking about buying a new ute, and use it to carry stuff, you’re going to need our essential guide to ute canopies and tray styles Me too been back to Flexiglass Brisbane four times. Glad you had a good experience, but mine has been absolute rubbish. So now I'm left with a 10 month old canopy that leaks water through both side windows, has big blobs of Sikaflex along the sides, doesn't close the rear door and can't be locked. I had to manually flick the locking plate open every time I opened the rear door, until eventually the spring came off and now the whole lock is unless. Obviously this let all the dust in and also meant it couldn't be locked. The locking plate wasn't flicking open and when closing the rear door it slammed on to the latch and wouldn't shut. Then the back door wouldn't latch in one corner. I took it back to flexiglass in Silverwater where they pumped the window seals with Sikaflex, 2 weeks later it started leaking again.

There's a 10mm gap where they didn't seat the windows properly before they screwed them in place (they stripped the heads on 2 screws in each side too). It leaks like a sieve through both side windows. I've got a flexiglass canopy and I'll never get another one. Recommend considering flexiglass if you thinking of a canopy for quality and after service.
The service by Allan and Phil was excellent.
