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?

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
