Reviews of truck toppers are hard to find, so thanks for the video. As for brands and quality, from what I've seen ALL the manufacturers are a hit and miss thing, build quality is all over the map for all of them, which is crazy considering what they all charge. I feel like I'm sort of stuck with hoping for a good day at the factory that day no matter what brand I end up picking.

Curt Brackenrich that's exactly what I'm currently finding out myself.

I agree with both you fellas. Either you get the guy who cares about the craftsmanship of building something that will last or you get the guy who got loaded the night before and couldn't give 2 craps.

@@ryantettenburn940 I ended up getting a Leer, mostly because I could buy it local. Sure enough a huge area was missed in the paint room, but was fixed by dealer. Other than the paint issue it's been fine, install was good and cargo area stays dry. Good luck to you.

Same here. Came across this vid and its hit and miss on Leer, A.R.E. and SnugTop. Equal negative comments on all 3! Disapointing.

2 years ago I bought the Leer cap with windoors (side windows that open upward for easy access and loading in the bed). Cost was roughly $2500.00. After several attempts to provide a product that wasn't defective in some way or another I settled for their 4th attempt which leaks a little around the windoors. Since I sometime sleep/camp in this camper shell I've now gone with a custom fitting tarp ($15.00) while camping to avoid wet camping gear and sleeping bags. My Wet Leer and My Leaky Leer are posted on KZitem and show some of the problems I had. My prior cap on a different truck was a GemTop - NEVER leaked a bit. But, they aren't in business either. I stow camping gear in large tupperware containers during transport to avoid dealing with wet gear....

this has done more to talk me out of going with LEER vs actually going with them. Currently shopping most popular brands - I know everyone will have their opinions, but that much decomposition after just 2 years in what appears to be a well-kept truck (not run hard/off-road) is certainly not good. Thank you for the post!

If ARE caps didn't look awful I'd get one because the build quality seems much better. I hate that two tone that they do. Just placed an order for one of these. Hopefully they've improved the quality a bit.

@DevilDog53 I got my LEER about a month ago, I will say the quality is a huge letdown especially for the $3,200 top of the line model I got. No standard power lock and the screen is like falling off of the rail. Plus the edges of the fiberglass are rough and they didn't even use stainless bolts for the latches. They were rusting when I got the cap after like a 12 week wait. At least it doesn't really seem to leak when stationary. However after driving in the rain the water will travel down the bed rails and seep in. If I ever have to buy a bed cap again I'm going to buy used and just repaint it because they are so garbage for the crazy amount of money that you pay.

That's not the right cap for that truck. The rear window is different. The one you need supposed to match the tailgate Contour

I know this is an older video, but measuring from the bed with tail gate down the the top of the opening how many inches is it. As in what is the tallest box I could slide into the bed.

The TFL youtube channel dis a test on that and the topper made little to no difference. I believe the difference in MPG’s was around .6.
