Traveler vs. Traveler Sport: What’s the Difference?
If you’re considering the Fas-Top Traveler lineup, you may notice there are two options available: the Traveler and the Traveler Sport. While they share the same core design and functionality, there are a few distinctions worth understanding before deciding which one is right for your truck.
Let’s break it down.
1. Hardware Finish
The primary difference between the Traveler and Traveler Sport comes down to the hardware finish.
-
Traveler: Features matte black hardware.
-
Traveler Sport: Features aluminum mill-finish (silver) hardware.
Aside from the finish, the hardware components themselves are the same. Both versions use the same rail system, latches, and mounting design.
2. Same Modular Functionality
Both the Traveler and Traveler Sport are built on the same modular platform, meaning functionality is identical between the two.
With either option, you can:
-
Convert from a tonneau cover to a topper in minutes
-
Maintain secure coverage in both configurations
-
Use the integrated rail design built into the cover’s rails
-
Pair the system with compatible accessories such as bed racks
There are no performance or usability differences between the two models.
3. Fitment & Construction
Both versions are constructed using the same materials and manufacturing process. Fitment, durability, and weather protection are consistent across both options.
You can expect the same:
-
Weather resistance
-
Structural support
-
Ease of installation
-
Long-term reliability
Choosing one over the other does not change how the cover functions or performs.
4. Choosing the Right Option
Since both models offer the same performance and modular capabilities, the decision comes down to hardware finish and budget.
-
Traveler: Matte black hardware and at a slightly higher price.
-
Traveler Sport: Aluminum mill-finish hardware at an affordable price point.
Either way, there are no trade-offs in function, strength, or versatility. You get the same trusted modular system at a price that fits your needs.
Final Thoughts
The Traveler and Traveler Sport deliver the same trusted Fas-Top design: a modular system that adapts to your needs without sacrificing durability or convenience. The only difference is the hardware finish, allowing you to choose the look that best matches your truck.
