I love this topic.  Much love for a cap, but I can't have one for the work I do.  I am however disappointed in  the designs available for this truck.  The rear of the cap should mimic the rear of the cab more.  More vertical and a spoiler built in.

I emailed Leer about when a cap would be available for a 2020 2500HD standard bed and never got a reply. I just checked the A.R.E. website and was able to do a build up for a cap for my crew cab with a 82.2 inch truck bed. I should get a quote, even though I'm afraid to hear the price HAHA. Right now I have a tri-fold tonneau cover that I added a rubber strip on the front to seal it up.

 

Just went back to the A.R.E. website and the 2019 1500 has a bed length of 79.4 inches.

How much more expensive is ARE then Leer? I have had a Leer 100R on my Tacoma for 11 years now and never had a problem, and that with regularly hauling kayaks on top. 
 
I am not a beg fan of the little indent for the third brake light, but I guess there is no way around it.
Looking on the Leer website it claims that for the Sierra with or without the Multi-Pro Tailgate the following WILL fit:
- 100XR
- 100XL
 
and for the Silverado the following will fit:
- 100XR
- 100XL
-100XQ
-100R
 
I am looking for a new truck and if there IS no cap available for the Sierra Mulit-Pro that is definitely a deal breaker for me. 
 
Also, can anyone confirm about the excessive wind noise?
In regards to the wind noise, I still have it after removing cap. I think it is the issue with the fuel filler line making a whistling in the wind. I don't think it was the truck cap as I originally thought. Still not happy with the fit and finish or paint match on the leer. They do have three factories so each one may have a slightly different fiberglass mold.

I have an ARE on order the mx mid high .  I ordered it a month ago , the ARE was the only manufacture that had caps available for the multipro tailgate at that time . The cap dealer told me about 2 months , leer did not have anything available at the time I placed my order

thanks man, I appreciate the feedback!

I believe the cap still did make some noise though but wasn't the only culprit. For whatever reason mine stuck up an inch or so higher than others so it was probably funneling so air behind the rear window. If you can afford it, check out the ARE. I like their design for the third brake light better. If money is a primary factor go leer, but call around. I paid $1850 for a 100 xl, but had some places quote $2200 for the same cap.

I also e-mailed Leer about a building a cap that would allow the tailgate to open and close without the back glass being open, and I also never got a response.  Apparently Leer doesn't feel it's important to respond to potential customers.  But all the current designs show the back glass having a lip that extends downward over the tailgate, which means there is no way to open the tailgate without first opening the back glass.  Which is a shame, as a lot of times opening just the tailgate is all I really need.

 

I do have a Leer 100XR on my 2016 LTZ and I've never had any problems with it.

Would love to see images when you get this in.  I haven't found anyone with an MX height on the new body style yet and curious how it looks.

anyone with a soft topper or similar product on a '19-20 yet?

 

I'm really on the fence. Just curious how a black vs grey would look on my silver trail boss.

Image result for soft topper 2019 silverado

 

its about $500+ for a decent tonneau cover, and the soft topper is only $750...

 

 

They have a "tent/camper" addon as well. Curious if they can be added after initial purchase.

My ARE order took 2 months. Went to have it installed last week and the color was off!! They had to send my gas cover to ARE to match. Right now Im driving a brand new truck without a gas cover. Looks ridiculous. It *ucked up a lot of plans this fall too!

ugh, I ordered an ARE last week. I am reading more and more horror stories with ordering caps (regardless of brand). Not going to lie, it has me a little nervou. It supposed to get here in 6-8 weeks, until then I will feel like I am driving around in a rental until I get all moved in!

 

Anyone have any pictures of an AT4 with a cap?

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
