The only dealers for Leer or A.R.E camper shells in Midland is a Leer dealer. The Leer is high quality stuff, so I ordered one for my 2012 F-150. Not cheap at $2,395.31 out the door with Platinum White paint on the 100XQ model, but the pictures of it look great.

i wouldnt live without mine, ARE CX.
we sleep in it sometime when camping, carry the dog, and carry my tools.

if i was doing it over, i might choose the ARE MX for a bit higher top. my roof rack is too low, had to make a spacer so my canoe doesnt hit the truck roof
paid about 1850$ Canadian, 200$ for roof rack

SnugTop. Very happy. Never have water leaking in. I think any of the new ones are built very well and I think it's really a matter of picking the style and amenities you like.
