Whether you're tackling rocky trails or just hauling groceries, a solid cargo cover is a must-have for Jeep and Bronco owners who care about privacy, organization, and flexibility. GPCA offers a range of cargo covers tailored for different setups, driving styles, and gear needs—but which one is right for you?
Let’s walk through the options to help you find the perfect fit.
1. Meet the Lineup: LITE vs PRO vs Freedom Pack
🟢 GPCA Cargo Cover LITE
This is your go-to for everyday protection. The LITE model is a lightweight, single-layer privacy cover that fits snugly beneath your hard or soft top. It keeps valuables out of sight while giving your cargo area a clean, tidy appearance.
- Ideal for daily use
- Foldable and compact
- Easy tool-free install (with Quick Release Bolts if needed)
- Available for Jeep JL, JK, and Ford Bronco (Bronco-specific version)
🟢 GPCA Cargo Cover PRO
For off-road warriors and weekend explorers. The PRO is a double-layer beast with MOLLE panels, stronger anchor points, and reversible styling.
- Built for top-on or top-off use
- MOLLE-compatible for mounting tools and accessories
- Durable straps, rugged material
- Available for Jeep JL and JK only (not available for Bronco)
🟢 GPCA Freedom Pack
More than a cover—this is a complete cargo management system. It includes the PRO cover plus the GPCA Cargo Organizer, which can double as a divider, tailgate cover, or gear stash.
- Great for overlanders and full-time gearheads
- Most modular, highest value
- Available for Jeep JL and JK only

3. Top-Off vs Top-On: Which Should You Choose?
-
Mostly Top-On Driving
Stick with the LITE. It’ll keep your gear out of sight, works seamlessly under the top, and folds away easily. -
Going Topless Often?
You’ll want the PRO. It stays in place at highway speeds, thanks to its rugged double-layer and upgraded strap system. -
Full Trail Utility or Overlanding Setup?
The Freedom Pack is your MVP. With the included organizer, it transforms your trunk into a modular command center.
❗ Bronco owners: At this time, only the LITE model is designed for the Ford Bronco. PRO and Freedom Pack are Jeep-only.
4. Installation Tips & Tricks
- Hardtop Users: Remove the 6 factory bolts and replace them with GPCA Tie-Down D-Plates or Quick Release Bolts.
- Soft Top Users: Use compatible hardware and make sure straps are adjusted to account for the folded top.
- Sky One-Touch Power Top: You’ll need to remove side window panels to access anchor points under the tub edge.
5. Built to Adapt: Fold, Roll, Convert
All GPCA cargo covers are engineered for flexibility:
- Half-coverage mode to carry tall gear
- Side roll tuck for quick access to pets or tools
- Strap integration with GPCA Organizers and MOLLE gear (PRO only)
And when you need full trunk access? Just fold or roll it in seconds.
Final Thoughts
GPCA cargo covers aren’t just about covering up—they’re about leveling up. Whether you’re commuting with confidence, overlanding into the wild, or just keeping things neat, GPCA has a cover that fits your Jeep—or Bronco—perfectly.
