Canopy/Topper on Long Bed - anyone install?

[malore]

Hi all. I've got a TRD Off-Road with the long bed and am curious to see other long beds with canopies/toppers (never know what the right verbiage is here) installed. Trying to figure out if I want to go SmartCap style or just stick with SnugTop/Leer/ARE style. One thing I loved about my old Leer on my Gen 3 is how the locking mechanism paired with the key fob on the truck. That was super convenient.

Any thoughts and especially pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'll let you know in 6 weeks. I was in the same situation, decided to go with the more "integrated" look and ordered the 100xq from leer.

Awesome. Looks slick. I had a Leer on my Gen 3. had the win-doors on the sides as well. Really loved that feature. Stoked to see it on your rig!

I sure like my Smartcap Adventure. The "windoors" are much bigger than they were on my old Leer, and the molle panels are great for gear.

I really love that about the smart caps. Although I'd most likely go with the sport edition to have the windows. I sleep in the back of my truck on surf and mountain biking trips all the time and I like having the window for ventilation. But gosh, I love the idea of mounting all this stuff on the inside. No offense to the overlanding, but I just can't stand the way it looks when everything is mounted outside of the truck. So, stowing this stuff neatly on the inside is a huge plus. Going to have to consider this. Thank you!

Love my smart cap, especially with the gull side window opening for the dogs. The only down side to the Smart Cap's, as well as just about everything for these 4th gen's is the price $

Awesome! Thanks. Yeah. They’re expensive. No doubt about it. Looks great though and seems so functional. Thank you for sharing!

I went with pretty much a plain Jane topper from ARE but with an extended top. I can throw an air mattress in the back and have plenty of head room. I can also put three bikes in there standing up with the wheels on. Maybe four. There are options for power locks, side window that open and lots more.

I would suggest checking out the semi affordable OVS Expedition SS powder coated cap but they are not available for 24-25 long bed Tacoma’s.

I noticed the price has increased by hundreds of $$$ since I placed my short bed order in late January. They are currently on BO and expected to arrive in early April.

Tariffs, I suppose.

That‘s my guess as well.

I ordered mine at $2399 minus a 15% ($360) sales promotion. I’m glad I didn’t delay my purchase.

I went with a Softopper on my longbed. I like the flexibility.
