I am thinking of trading my 2016 with a leer 100 xl cap for a 2019. I am having a hard time finding pics of a 2019 with a camper shell / topper / truck cap (soda vs pop debate).

 

Anyone have one installed yet that cares to share some detailed photos?

I'm interested in seeing pictures as well.  I'd want to negotiate a topper into the purchase of a new truck so any information will be helpful.

I looked at the leer and are website's but they don't show any pictures for the 2019 GM's or 2019 Rams. I suppose it might take them a while to make their forms.

I called my leer dealer that i have used for years and he confirmed that he has already installed a couple 100xl models on Silverados, but it sounds like the Sierra's might be on hold till they figure out the door glass to multi pro tailgate design.

He also said the front of the cap is bumped out around the third brake valence that runs the length of the back window. He didn't have any pics yet.

My dealer that has always been the cheapest locally said $1995 installed minus any leer coupons. That is about $100 more than I paid in 2016. They can roll it right into the financing of the truck since he is at a Chevy dealer.

If anyone has pics, please post.

I'm looking around for hard tonneau covers and having the same results.

The blue one looks interesting.

 

Of course it does.  Because you can't have it "yet". :shakehead:

Not yet scheduled for production, this cap explores cutting-edge design elements, and includes some state-of-the-art access technologies.

The concept cap is featured on a special build by MAD Industries. Installed on a 2019 Chevy Silverado, this LEER concept cap implements refined aesthetics, such as:

· Advanced SUV styling with integrated rear-door spoiler
· Wrap-around window treatment
· A rear door with an ultra-clean look – no visible hardware, no handle, no holes through the glass
· Compound curved rear glass for a sleek transition to the tailgate
· Large tip-out side windows
· Robust, extruded “C” hidden rear-door hinges with robust latching system, accessible by key, hidden keypad, or remotely with a smartphone app

With those features, it will probably cost more than my first truck.

I hate the look all the trucks have now with the big plastic wing on the bottom of the cap glass door. The tailgates have an aero bump on the top. They must have to take that off to get the cap door to plastic trim to sit flush

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
