Ordered Snugtop Rebel for 5' bed (Super Crew), with extras. Base model Rebel includes matching paint, carpet, LED dome light, brake light, hidden mounting system, double bulb seal, all glass door w/ rotary latches and rain channel.
Here's the cost break down:
Sales Tax: $363.90
Total: $4002.90
Winning quote and purchase from Kanopy Kingdom in Fife, WA. They came in $186 less than Canopy World in Tacoma, WA. Canopy World charged $80 more for the base Rebel model, so math says another $106 more from the extras and installation. Both shops get mostly good reviews, I would've gone to either if the price were the same.
Both shops said 8 - 10 weeks delivery.
Kanopy Kingdom associate said Snugtop - or whoever owns Snugtop - just purchased Leer/Century, along with the glass manufacture they all use and some other materials companies. She showed me Snugtop's color code sheet, it said Leer on it. Interesting.
Anyway, I know costs are different in different regions. How much in your areas? Here, only marginal differences between Leer and Snugtop. I believe that's not the case elsewhere. I ruled out ARE, given cost and wait times are way higher.
Was expecting about $4k, ended up being right on the nose. Not thrilled with it, but I need a canopy 90% of the time for what I use a vehicle for. Could've saved $800 and not gotten the windoors and other extras but I'd have kicked myself for a rather insignificant savings on an expensive item. Buy once cry once. Oh, not many used ones yet pulled off of 5th Gen Rangers. Different story for Toyota Tacomas, there's plenty of used canopies to fit all sorts of generations of those, and you might get lucky with a color match, too!
Still waiting on my truck though, its built and scheduled to be delivered Sept 16 - 23. I may get it and have to wait a month for the canopy, or the truck is delayed a month and they're all ready at the same time. More patience is necessary.
Snugtop Rebel will sit atop a Cactus Gray Super Crew FX4. Already got XL Rok Blokz mud flaps, Husky floor mats, 12v bed kit, floor/tailgate Bed Rug, tail gate seal kit and some extra stainless eye bolt tie downs in a box waiting for truck delivery. I'm retiring my Subaru Outback from adventure camping duties.
