Maxliner Venture Canopy Gen 1 — Volkswagen Amarok 2023+
A steel-reinforced ute canopy built specifically for the 2023-onwards Volkswagen Amarok dual cab. Handle-free lift-up side windows with push-button access, a front lift-up window for ventilation, and central locking compatibility.
Will This Fit My Amarok?
| Fits | Volkswagen Amarok 2023 onwards (NF) — Dual Cab pick-up |
| Does NOT fit | Volkswagen Amarok 2010–2022 (2H) — a completely different tub, nothing carries over. Also does not fit 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 2023-onwards Amarok shares its platform with the Next-Gen Ford Ranger, which is a very different vehicle to the earlier VW-built Amarok. Getting the generation right matters here more than on most utes.
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) — the same steel-reinforced frame, push-button windows and styling as the Gen 2. Maxliner does not publish a rated roof load for it, and it comes in a shorter colour list.
Gen 2 ($5,195) — adds premium roof rails and a published 150kg dynamic / 350kg static roof rating, plus a wider colour range.
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.
Features
▪ Steel-reinforced internal frame — built to carry rooftop tents, racks and trade gear rather than just cover the tub
▪ Handle-free lift-up side windows — clean lines and fast push-button access to the tub
▪ Front lift-up window — ventilation and easier access
▪ Central locking compatible — ties into your Amarok's existing locking
▪ Styling — sleek rear spoiler and lower glass accent panel, in full body colour or with black accents
Specifications
▪ Brand — Maxliner Australia, Venture Canopy range
▪ Roof load — the steel-reinforced frame is built to carry roof load, but Maxliner does not publish a rated figure for the Gen 1. If you are mounting a roof top tent or a heavy rack, go for the Gen 2, which is rated at 150kg dynamic and 350kg static.
▪ Finishes — Full Body Colour or Two Tone Black Accent
▪ Paint colours available — Bright Blue, Light Grey, Mid Blue, Deep Red, Bright Beige, Dark Grey, Midnight Black

Common Questions
How does a canopy affect my payload?
A canopy is dead weight before you load anything into it, and it comes straight off your ute's payload. 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?
