There are so many different features, options, and models available. Your best bet is to go to a couple local dealers to see what you like and get prices from them.

some guys are buying the soft shell toppers which are pretty cheap. if you're looking for a painted to match fiberglass one, check with your local ARE/Leer/SnugTop/Century/Jason dealers or on craigslist. dont toss the idea of having it repainted out either. as far as fitment, i'd rate ARE, Leer and SnugTop at the top. for a reasonably priced cap, i'd look at the V Series ARE's http://www.4are.com/product/v/, or the Leer 100R http://www.leer.com/100R.

Finding a top on Craigslist for these trucks is practically impossible. They're just too new still. Ymmv

i bought one for my last truck like that. it had 150k on the clock before i decided to put one on it and i wasnt dropping $2k on a new cap. they can be found... but you have to do some digging and be willing to drive a couple hours. Black and gray are always popular.

here's one in philly, http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/pts/5684640286.html

Yea but the kicker is you'll likely need to get it resprayed, so then you're at the price of a new one!

However, I wouldnt be upset if you found me one for sale in the pnw

How do you like the handle on the Z series? I almost got one but went with the CX, on my last truck

Love it. I bought it mainly for the security over the T handle options. Can't see or access any of the guts and it works flawlessly.
