first of all, gaylordslids had to recall their lid for the titan, so scratch that idea.

I ordered a Jason lid from Here's Fred's Toppers in Jacksonville, Fl. Jason makes fantastic lids (saw one on a friend's new F150) and on the 20th they put their first Titan lid on production. Check out their site: Jasoncaps

Smoke....Great color choice

Good luck in your search for a hard tonneua. Too much $ for me and I like the functionality of a soft cover so I am going with the Truxedo soon.

I'm getting my A.R.E. LSII this Sat. Can't wait. Not getting the extras with it like carpeting, keyless entry, light, hardware shroud etc.... I'm gonna lay my own carpet down (marine carpet) something I can roll up when wet mulch or the like is back there. And there is a 12 volt plug back there so I will get a plug in light with a on/off switch and plug that in. Plus the tailgate has lights on each side of the door jam.

I have had an ARE LSII cover on my 1995 Kingcab for about 5 years. The paint still matches great and the locking mechanism still works as good as when it was new. I also like the way that they match the contours of the hood , gives it a "factory" look. I am definitly getting one put on my Titan soon.

I guess everyone is saying the are are the best and reliable??

Smoke,
I think they are saying they are happy with theirs. Happy customers are a great endorsement. I agree with California Titan. I have been looking. I haul A LOT in my truck. I am looking real hard at the Truxedo also. Good choice either way. I think you have to decide what you want it to do.
Good Luck,
