I bought the Z series truck cap. Painted to match my truck. I purchased all the options available. I have had nothing but unreliable locking issues with the truck cap. I cannot trust to leave anything in the back of it because the lock does not work by remote and half the time it does not work by using the key for the amount of money over $4000 spent on this truck and it is unreliable and unsafe to keep product in the back. Very highly disappointed!!!

 ARE MX Mid-Rise Topper on 2019 Chevy Trail Boss Custom

I’ve only had it installed for about a week but so far so good. Fit and finish are excellent. The topper follows the body lines of my truck almost perfectly. The color is a perfect match and the finish is just as smooth as my truck overall. All the latches and doors seem to open and close and lock as they should. I have the outdoorsman vented screened windoors and they are an awesome addition for having access to the front of the bed without having to crawl in from the back. The tilt down sliding front window will make cleaning the glass on the truck and topper a breeze. The carpet is very nice and finishes out the interior very well. The optional 12v LED dome light and center LED strip light on proportional switch are a must addition imo. It’s nice to open the back glass and the light come on automatically. If I don’t want the light to come on I just put the switch in the middle position. If I’m sleeping in the topper with it closed up I can put the switch in the up position to manually turn the lights on. I opted to have the factory install roof tracks in case I ever decide to add a Yakima strut/rack system or any other number of roof mount accessories available on the market. I have the DECKED bed storage so that was the reason for going with the MX with its extra interior head room. I’m glad I did. Now I’m thinking about adding a Bed Rug under the DECKED so the carpeted look will flow from the topper to the bed. It’s only been a week and has only rained on it a couple time but no major leaks so far that would allow any cargo to get wet. As expected some water does get in around the tailgate area but no tailgate seals up as a door does. What little that does get in is nothing to be concerned about. If you’ve been on the fence about getting a topper go ahead and do it. I’m sure glad I did and see no reason why this unit wouldn’t serve me well for many years to come.

 EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED
A.R.E. Dcu Series
DCU Series : Dodge Ram

February 07, 2017    Posted by: Chad
I've had my DCU for a little over a month and am extremely disappointed. First thing I noticed was that the tool boxes that I paid extra for were flimsy and weak. When I put any amount of weight on the shelf it sags in the middle. Second the paint is peeling off of all of the door edges. When I contacted my dealer they informed me that the whole unit had to come back off and be returned to ARE for repair. I was told that it would be at least 3 to 4 weeks. As this is my Work Truck and I Paid $2500.00 for this cap to protect my tools... This is a HUGE INCONVENIENCE!!!! Also ARE has no contact or Customer Service phone number on their website. if you want to contact them you have to fill out a form on their website and wait to be contacted at their convenience. Bottom Line is don't expect much.......
