    I'm on the east coast now and can't get a Snugtop either. But I had one on my 2016 Tacoma DCLB and loved it. When compared to my ARE for my 2018 F-150, the fit and finish just felt and looked better. Everything from the windoors to the shocks for the rear window to the glass molding. Now I'm looking for a cap for my 2020 DCSB and Leer is the only option in my area and I'm not pleased with the options or quality of the caps I looked at.

    Thanks for sharing. I’m torn between ARE and Leer since they’re the only options available in my area as well. Sucks you only have one brand in your area. What models are you looking at?

    I’m looking at the 100XR Leer or Cx Classic by ARE for now.

    Would you mind linking the part number? Are they easy to replace?

    There are a lot of different ones. I just took my old ones in and matched the length. They are rated by pounds of resistance. I think I bought them rated at about 15 pounds. They are simple to install.

    I was quoted 3350 + 210 for sportsman’s package which accommodates 550lbs vs 250lbs.

    Rising cost of raw materials - guessing this is a fair price …..
