2023-2024 VW Amarok Life, Style, PanAmericana & Aventura.
Busy tradesman, mobile workforces and adventurous ute owners need tough gear that works for work during the week and recreation during the weekend.
Do you struggle with: load capacity, access to the tub, stolen equipment, water damage and gear not lasting the distance?
The Centurion Canopy is a premium aluminium canopy that offers superior access, strength and security so you can get stuff done, enjoy life’s adventures.
Check out this video to see it in action:
What does it mean "Get Stuff Done"? What does it mean to you?
From grind to glory - the adventure at the end of a hard week is the payoff you deserve.
Go on, you've earned it!
Traditionally, Ute Canopies are constructed with fibreglass or ABS plastic. The Utemaster Centurion Canopy is constructed with Aluminium which gives it greater strength. It has a dynamic load rating of 200kg and a static load rating of 600kg when being used with the Cantilever Roof Rack.
Because it is so strong, we can maximise access through full-width doors without compromising on the structural integrity of the canopy.
Watch out the video for a full product breakdown.
Finding it hard to reach your tools and equipment through small canopy windows?
Wasting time and feel frustrated when trying to access your gear?
The Utemaster Centurion Canopy features full-width doors that give you access to your gear the whole way down each side. There is no obstruction along the top edge of your tub meaning you can easily reach over and pull your gear out through the side door opening.
Traditional fibreglass weatherproofing systems will leave your gear soaked after a good downpour.
The Centurion Canopy doors are fitted with high-quality seals around the whole door to help prevent water and dust from entering the canopy. These seals are designed to be durable and long-lasting in the toughest conditions.
The rain channels between the Centurion Canopy's doors direct water away from the tub ensuring that rain doesn't accumulate inside the canopy, helping to keep your gear dry.
Losing your tools and equipment due to a break-in is not only lost money - this can also have an impact on the time and productivity of the job you are working on.
Concealed security latches mean each door is locked on both sides, making it hard to pry open.
On some products you will see the locking rods exposed, this can be problematic if your load shifts during transport because it can jam the locking mechanism.
To prevent this from happening, the Centurion Canopy™ has lock covers on the inside of the doors, these also provide the canopy with a tidy “finished” look.
As an optional extra, you can purchase a Central Locking accessory for the Centurion Canopy.
This allows you to lock the canopy using the factory vehicle key remote.
Please Note: Your Canopy can be locked manually using the supplied key. The Central Locking is an optional upgrade accessory.
1X LED light comes standard with the Central Locking accessory, which is mounted to the inside of the rear door on the canopy.
You have the option to upgrade this by adding another light to each side door.
This helps to fully illuminate the tub area and makes it easier to see your gear at night time.
Part #CANOPY-LED-INTERIOR (2X LEDs, one for each side door)
Please Note: This part is designed to connect to the system used for the single light which features in the rear door, it cannot be retrofitted to a canopy without this light.
Fibreglass or ABS canopies can easily crack under stress.
Despite being lightweight, if engineered correctly aluminium can achieve a very high strength-to-weight ratio and withstand a significant amount of weight and stress without breaking.
This means you can carry much heavier loads than you ever could on a fibreglass or ABS canopy, without going over your Gross Vehicle Mass rating.
Every Centurion Canopy is model specific and has been designed to match the contours and profile of the vehicle.
In addition to this, the Centurion Canopy doors are made up of one aluminium panel which have no external rivets.
This not only gives the canopy its stealth appearance but also helps boasts its strength.
It is a tough coating that is baked onto the Canopy during the painting process.
This finish is resistant to scratches, chips, fading, and corrosion, ensuring that your canopy will look great for years to come. It also matches the black accents of the vehicle.
You may be wondering if the canopy gets hot, it can on the surface but the inside stays cool enough to keep your beer fridge running cold!
The Utemaster Centurion canopy has an inbuilt support frame and no additional bracing is needed to make it load-bearing meaning the available load height is HUGE.
When you purchase a Centurion Canopy™ you are investing in quality gear.
The concealed extrusion hinge runs the full length of the door, matches the Canopy colour and eliminates fasteners piercing the body.
This significantly reduces water ingress and improves the longevity of the product.

The Utemaster Centurion Canopy is easy to install because it attaches to the ute using factory mounting points in the tub.
This means it requires no drilling so if you decide to remove the canopy e.g. for selling, there's no need to worry about damaging your vehicle.
We provide fitting instructions and videos with every product, so you can easily install the canopy yourself. Additionally, the central locking system is designed to be wired up without the need for an electrician, making it even easier to set up.

With a Cantilever Roof Rack fitted you can carry 200kg dynamic load rating and 600kg static rating. The Cantilever Roof Tray evenly distributes weight across the canopy for maximum strength.
The Utemaster Centurion Canopy weighs 60kgs, Cantilever Roof Rack 17kgs, Roller to suit Cantilever Rack 3kgs
Our Centurion Canopy™ is a premium product and is typically priced higher than a fibreglass canopy. You can use our Dream Ute Builder to build your quote and order it directly off our website.
The Utemaster Centurion Canopy is fitted to the tub using factory mounting points, this means there is no drilling required. Without Central Locking the Canopy generally takes 30-60 minutes. Central Locking adds another 30-60 minutes to this.
The Utemaster Centurion Canopy is constructed from aluminium which gives it a superior load rating, better access and security.
Yes you can, we don't supply these but if you talk to your local roof rack centre they will be able to fit a T-Track with crossbars to the roof of your canopy. However, standard Roof Racks have lower load ratings than the Utemaster Cantilever Roof Rack, it is important that you check the rating of the crossbars before loading.
Just like the inside of the vehicle, it will get warm inside the Canopy if it's parked in the sun. However, you can install a Dog Vent Kit which helps the air to flow into the Canopy area. It's lockable so your gear will be safe and secure.
It's very common for our customers to put fridges inside. One customer said "I went camping on Fraser in summer for 7 days straight mate and my fridge was faultless. Not a warm beer in sight
The Centurion Canopy is fully sealed to stop water and dust from getting into your gear.
Utes have small gaps in the tailgate where dust can enter the tub. However, you can add a tailgate Seal Kit to prevent dust from coming in either side of the tailgate.
This will ensure that the gear in your tub stays dust-free.
The Utemaster Centurion Canopy is compatible with a huge range of accessories, check out some of the options here.
Absolutely! Check out our Dog Vent Kit which is designed to increase airflow into the canopy.
No issues at all, windows in a ute canopy are not a WOF requirement
