    Going to order a topper for my 16 DC, and want to see if anyone has also looked at the same ones only to pick one for whatever reason.

    I'm looking at a raised model since we camp in it, so either the Snugtop Hi-liner or ARE MX. Not a fan of the look of the Leer raised model. Originally was for sure going with the MX but realized the little front top window is actually fake so now I could go either way.

    The prices I was quoted were within 100 bucks of each other for the same options (LED strips, crossbars, etc)

    Pics are appreciated, maybe one of the two's lines go better with our trucks or something.

    I can't remember what the Leer looks like but their advantage is you can get a sliding & removable front window on any of their canopies.

    After having a topper on my old 04 tacoma that I camped in for a good 5-6 years, I never once touched the front window or opened it so that's not really a selling feature for me so much.

    My 16 DC ARE MX. I can't get Snugtop on my side of US. Looked at Leer local and ARE. Liked the MX best. I got fold down / removable front window, carpet, and top rails as my options. Front window was $100 I think. I paid $2200. I did not get windoors for security reasons, but people love them. Years ago I had tools stolen from service truck by someone pulling the windoor in the center and bending in out.
