Maxliner Venture Canopy Gen 1 — Mazda BT-50 2020+
A steel-reinforced ute canopy built specifically for the Mazda BT-50 2020+ dual cab. Handle-free push-button side windows, a lift-up front window for ventilation, central locking compatibility and an LED interior light. Around 95kg.
Will This Fit My BT-50?
| Fits | Mazda BT-50 2020 onwards — Dual Cab pick-up |
| Does NOT fit | Mazda BT-50 2011–2019 — a different tub, nothing carries over. Also does not fit Freestyle Cab, Single Cab or cab chassis. |
| Factory sports bar | A canopy covers the tub opening entirely, so a factory sports bar normally has to come off. Call us and we will confirm for your grade. |
The 2020-onwards BT-50 shares its platform with the Isuzu D-Max, which is why the two take closely related canopies.
Gen 1 or Gen 2 — What You Get For The Extra $1,700
Straight answer, because the price gap is real.
Gen 1 ($3,495, this one) — driver-side switch and a battery-powered LED interior light. Same steel-reinforced frame, same push-button windows, same styling. Maxliner does not publish a rated roof load for it.
Gen 2 ($5,195) — dual-side switching, a hard-wired LED light that never needs batteries, premium roof rails included, and a published 150kg dynamic / 350kg static roof rating.
If you are running a roof top tent or a heavy rack, buy the Gen 2 — the published rating is the thing you actually need. If the canopy is for secure dry storage, this one does the job for $1,700 less.

Choosing Your Colour
This canopy is made to order in your choice of finish and paint colour. The Gen 1 has a shorter colour list than the Gen 2 — if the colour you want is not shown, call us on 02 8773 1993 and we will check what is available before you order.
Not sure of your paint code? It is on the vehicle's compliance plate — send us a photo and we will read it for you.
Common Questions
How does a 95kg canopy affect my payload?
It comes straight off your ute's payload before you load anything into it. Add a drawer system and touring gear and it adds up quickly. If you are planning a full build, come and talk to us at Chipping Norton and we will work through the numbers rather than have you end up overloaded.
Can I fit a roof top tent?
There is no published roof rating on the Gen 1, so for tent use we would steer you to the Gen 2 at 350kg static.
Is it dust sealed for outback touring?
The Venture uses sealed lift-up windows and a sealed rear door. As with any canopy, sealing performance depends on correct fitment — a good argument for having it fitted by us rather than doing it yourself.
How long until I get it?
