    What kind of truck cap are you considering or have?

    Why do you like it?
    Would you buy it again?
    How much?

    I am considering a snugtop rebel, with fold down front window, head liner for $1850

    I prefer the upper end SnugTops so you only have one lock handle in the center to deal with. Fold down front window is a must if you want to clean the rear window of the cab.
    My Sport HiLiner with headliner,Folding front slider, ProLock rear latch was $1870 + tax and install came to $2015.60.
    Shop around.

    image.jpg Bad pic, but an ARE Overland, just finished the canopy mount frontrunner rack. Windoors are a must, agreed.

    I had a Snugtop Rebel on my 2014 and loved it. It was well made and fit great and never leaked, also the color match (red) was perfect. I don't have one right now on my'16, but I will probably get one in the future. I am kinda waiting to see what all the manufactures come out with.

    I second the windoors and fold down front windshield. I have a Century with head liner, makes it real nice when sleeping in it. Century didn't have/make the single lock latch for the model I got, the highC I think. In the end save a few bucks having the the double locking latches on the back.

    Yes, the front fold down window is a must. I did not have the side folding windows on mine, but I did not care. I am kinda short so reaching over the bed seemed tall to me. Plus I wanted to have a clean looking side window. Oh yeah, I also had the pet screens on the sliding side windows which was nice if anything for the added security.

    Nothing beats the style and functionality of a softopper. Up or down, on or off this top should never be in the way and should serve its purpose well. Looks cool while doing it too! I do understand the want or need for a traditional hard cap though.
