2014 Toppers, Caps, Campers

[OkieDavid]

 

Jason has a Dealer in Tyler. Which model is yours and what was the installed cost?

 

I started with just the basic Pace shell, $1200, and added carpet ($100), the Luma Bar with the LED lighting ($80), front tip in slider window ($100), and the Yakima Track with Tower Locks ($450). Got $200 in discounts on the package so ended paying $1,730 before tax.

Has anyone put a camper shell on yet if so could you put up some pictures. Really thinking about getting one. Thanks!

I bought a new 2014 crew cab. Because of visibility issues I elected to go with a fold a cover rather than a topper.

 

However I do a lot of hunting in the fall and would like a cheap topper to use during the hunting season for more space and a place for the dog to ride.

 

Just looking for something to fit and take off and throw behind the garage when the season is over. Would a 2012 topper fit? I know the back window would be a issue; but I thought I could modify it a bit to make it work. Just need something cheap.

My Silverado is a Suburban replacement. Wasnt happy to see that the new gm suvs have higher load floors and less interior volume bc of the fold flat 3rd row. With 2 kids and 3 dogs i needed all the space i could get. I also didnt like the center console on the suvs, less storage space for my junk and knick knacks. Plus the 6.2 wasnt available on the Suburban so i decided to do a truck with a camper on the back, bed rug and possibly later a bedslide.

 

I currently have an A.R.E. Z Series shell on order.

This is exactly like the one I am getting, except mine is white and I am getting a remote unlock for it.

 

 

 

Another Z Series on a 2013 model, better interior video with this one.

I'm thinking the 07-13 will fit, not 100% sure though. Thought I read the bed interior and dimensions are the same.

The 07-13 canopies won't fit the 14 1500 series but they will fit the 2500 and 3500 series. The canopy I was getting ready to install had to be reordered because they had ordered a unit for a 2500 series truck. So I'll be waiting a couple more weeks for a canopy.

I had the Leer with the same set up with the window and rack system on my 2008 Chevy Silverado. I had the one even with the cab. They are nice but I found out it was very hard to put the items on the rack system. It is high and you need a ladder etc. to tie it up properly. I also purchased the stoppers you can put on the rack system to prevent it from sliding and secure your load better. I removed the rack system when I didnt use it. I noticed the gas mileage was a little less but you get more use out of the back with the topper. I did a lot of camping in mine. Sometimes it is hard to fit things that are tall like a rider mowers, snow blower, ATVs etc. Everything has a tradeoff and depends what works for you. It is nice to get the back up camera so you can see better when backing up. It is also harder to hand wash because you need a ladder to do so. I also got the sliding window so I could wash the outside back window of the pickup without taking off the top.

I am in the exact same situation. I have an extang solid fold on my double cab w/ std box but would like the option of putting on a topper during hunting season in case I need more room, dry place to change clothes if it's raining, etc.

 

Has anyone tried to set a 2007-13 topper on a '14 to see if it would be functional?

 

Even if it wasn't 'aesthetically perfect', as long as it stayed dry and secured my hunting gear, I'd be ok with it.

Yes, the company I ordered my canopy from got the first order wrong and a 2013 bed style canopy came in. When they put it on my truck it was a shade narrower than my new canopy and the edges didn't quite cover the bed rail caps properly. It did fit, it just didn't look right. Most of the less expensive canopies don't come down over the edges of the bed sides and would probably fit OK. Test fit before you buy.

Great info. Thanks!!

 

Did the height and length line up halfway decent?

Height and length looked OK it was the sides the installer immediately thought weren't right and called the boss to find out why. They only had it on there about a minute before they lifted it off and called Leer to find out what was going on. If we ever see another sunny day here in Washington I'll post of picture of the truck with it's new canopy.
