    Just picked up this 2015 yesterday. Any recommendations on a topper/camper shell? I think that might be my first mod.

    Welcome! Love that color. If I had the choice I would have gone with Pyrite Mica.

    For a shell, I've heard that ARE, SnugTop, and Leer are best.

    For a Tonneau, I have a BakFlip G2 and love it. I can still use the whole bed with it folded up so that is nice.

    Make sure you get a tailgate lock if you get a cover so it is secure!

    I used Pop and Lock's Codeable one so that it coded to my truck key. You can get some that you can wire up to your remote.
