    Current Group Buy Order Count: 0 / 10

    Can-Back is finally fully back in business! They had a long, tough summer as they released a lot of new part numbers all at once; and then had troubles delivering the resulting rush of orders as it completely overran their manufacturing capabilities. They have hired and trained tradesmen to make the tops at these new volume levels. And these employees are now fully trained, practiced, and able to handle the spring rush order load.

    However... January is coming, and it is traditionally a very weak month for truck accessory sales.

    Because of this, they are offering a Group Buy for Tacoma World. Your orders will be fill-in orders to keep their valued staff busy during this upcoming lean month. They will commit to having everything complete before Feb 1, when the tax return rush will start. But the overall schedule between now and then depends on order volumes. I do not foresee starting on these orders before the last week of December.

    The Group Buy deal is simple: A flat 10% discount to the first 10 people who place an order. We will notify you when a production slot becomes available, and payment will be due a few days before manufacturing is complete so that we can ship it as soon as it is ready.

    The Can-Back's base price for a Tacoma is $2,300 for the frame and the canvas. Various accessory additions can push the total price to over $4,000. The 10% discount will apply to the entire order.

    Yes, this is much more expensive than the competition. Can-Back's primary focus is to provide a premium quality canvas camper shell that has a wide array of features and accessories that will adapt to your current, and future, lifestyle. The final price is a result of costs being secondary to quality and features.

    If you look at the main image on the Can-Back website ( www.Can-Back.com ): The Ford SuperDuty's Can-Back was assembled the morning of the photoshoot. The Tacoma had been a daily work truck for three years in the Arizona sun. And they parked the two trucks bumper-to-bumper and took their primary advertising image.

    In order to take advantage of this group buy: Please call Can-Back to place your order and reference Tacoma World Group Buy: 877-763-8867

    You can also call Can-Back to answer any questions that you might have about the Can-Back or the various accessories.

    I will update the order count as orders are placed.

    This discount starts with the first order, and caps at a total of ten orders.

    Merry Tacomas! Just saw this post. Has anybody else signed up for the deal yet or have any ideas on the discounted cost? I dig the concept of these campers and believe this brand sturdier than others - price is just a little much.

    I hate to say it...this company is going to go under (again) real fast at these prices. No one is willing to dish out $2300 for a soft top. That’s triple the cost of the competition. Period. Better quality? Perhaps. But not 3X better.

    I was. I wanted a soft topper that would support weight. So I ordered a Can-Back in September with a promise of 3 weeks to delivery. Cancelled my order in January after being repeatedly lied to by @Phoenix2000. This company has an F rating with the BBB, and I had to mention opening a case with them to get him to give me my money back.

    I agree that it is going to go under again; it is inevitable.

    It is a shame though, before they went under the first time the product was good and the company had a good reputation; which makes me think @Phoenix2000 was not the owner at that time.

    I’ve been dealing with Bryon for almost a year trying to get my order straight. I’ll spare the the details, but it’s been very frustrating.

    Bryon, if you see this, please call me back! I have the Tacoma in CA that had all the problems with the canvas. My name’s Mike. I know you know who I am. I don’t like putting out bad publicity like this, but it’s been nearly a year!!!

    All of the phone numbers that I have for you are offline. This is no way to do business. You have a great product, but the worst service. Maybe going through MasterCard or the BBB is the only way I’ll see movement on this. I’ll give it a few days.
