Product Reviews : A.R.E. Truck Caps and Tonneau Covers

Being 30 years old and purchasing a truck topper, I received a lot of flak from my fiance and family. Many would say, "That's an old man accessory." I have to say, I absolutely love my topper. I am a boater and also have 2 extra long SUP (stand up paddle boards). One is 11.5 feet and the other is 12.5 feet. When hauling the boat, I have no other place to haul the boards except for on the roof. Coupled with the fact that I wanted to still be able to haul all the extra gear and camping supplies in the back of the truck, and wanted to still keep them all dry, I knew a topper was the best way to go as I knew I could have the Yakima roof racks installed. So far I have recieved many compliments for the topper, mostly from old men, but none-the-less, I personally like it, and thats all that really matters. I have one regret, I went with the cheapest series because of financial reasons and I wish I would have saved up the extra money to get the Z series. I just personally think it looks nicer. I also wish I would have had the carpet lining done to the interior, right now its just white on the inside and the rest of my truck is black. I dont think it looks terrible, just feel like it would have been more aesthetically appealing. The dealership I purchased from did recommend I upgrade the cab window to drop down with slider as it is leaps and bounds easier to clean it.
