    Any word from third party topper manufacturers? Unlike suspension component companies, it seems that topper manufacturers will have to go back to the drawing board since the bed height has changed ever so slightly.
    Really curious how these will look with toppers on them. Especially the DCLB TRD OR (FTMFW).

    Good question. Towing was 22nd on the badass list, toppers probably 44th. The front gap being closed is not a big deal, but getting the bedrail/window/cab height corrected might take a few months. If the rail to cab height dimensions have changed that will require new molds and different sized front windows.

    Yeah topper is small concern but it is a big concern for companies who make toppers. Seeing some Colorados/Canyons with toppers now finally.

    none
    It may be awhile. Also need to account for the rear sliding glass if you want that open.

    The issue is the length due to the tailgate SPOILER. Bed depth to cab height ratio is the same.

    I would love it if my MGM canopy would swap directly over. Toppers are getting damn expensive.

    The bed height is not the same, it is taller, so any canopies/toppers will need to be made shorter and longer as the cab height stayed the same.

    I'd really just like to see one on a 2016. Don't all the topper manufacturers already have measurements and such to work with?
