This is what I was quoted. Does this look right? Is there room for negotiations on these? What did you guys pay out the door?

Looks reasonable to me. I paid a little more than that for the HD but didn’t have all the window options which adds more to the cost of the CX classic. The install fee isn’t terrible, I’ve seen some people’s quotes as high as 300$

For about $500 more I had a brand new alucab with roof rails and a ~700lb weight rating shipped to my front door from ok4wd. ARE caps are decent (had one on my f150), but aluminum is the way to go for that kind of price

The Alu-Cab has a huge gap between the rear window and the rear window of the cap. I can also get the ARE in about 6 weeks. Looking into the RSI cap now.

RSI is literally half a year out. I'd expect the same from RLD since they're both in SA. If you want it soon, your best bet is finding an Alu-Cab in stock or sticking with the US brands.

Sounds in line with that sort of ARE cap with those customization choices. I had a very similar ARE cap installed a couple months ago for a similar price.

My friend chose the RSI for his rig. Initially I much preferred the fit and finish but after a couple of months his stainless steel started to show surface rust. I’m assuming it’s a low-grade stainless that they use. I also used to hate the gap between the windows but I found that it makes it far easier to clean both windows when they get caked up with dust and It’s significantly easier to remove the hard top with the gap there. The alucab could fit better but I still think it’s the best one available, Especially considering how much it weighs and how much weight it can accommodate. I have no skin in the game, just sharing my experiences-

I paid about $3,000 including install and 7.5% sales tax for the CX Evolve. The only options were the fold down front window and an up charge for Snazzberry paint. At the time there was a small rebate, I think about $75. I’ve seen a few people report paying in the $2600 range, but this was basically a take it or leave it price from the only ARE place in town.
