$2300 for mine with half slider windows with pet screens. Mine is super basic but i just want it so that i can carry my dogs with me. I ordered June 25th and it’s showing October 23rd for delivery
This is what I'm wanting it for also.
I have the softopper now but I'm just not that happy with it.

I went back and forth between the soft topper and the ARE cap. I figured at some point i would end up with the latter anyways so i went ahead and ordered it

Wow...I had no idea these toppers are so expensive! That said, I am still drawn to the look! Does the A.R.E. CX Classic cover or hide the black bed side railing or does that somehow have to be removed prior to install to achieve that clean look?

2979.00 was where mine was priced at, and I believe I added almost all available options. Sportsman windoor, led lights, fold down front sliding window and the frameless rear glass that unlocks with remote. Very happy with it. I added some rhino rack bars afterwards

I like this.
The rsi looks great but the reviews are iffy, time frame is rough and they have some quality problems it seems.
The alu-cab hits alot of boxes, lightweight, strong versatile. It doesn't look great though just sort if a box.
This looks great. There us a dealer close I love the options. But is is strong enough for a rtt?

It hides It. I have the CX HD though.

Not the standard CX classic. You will need the CX HD which is rated for 550lbs dynamic.

That's a good question and depends who you ask I guess. I spec'ed out and HD version but couldn't get the windoors with that option and possibly not the frameless glass. I was told the standard version had a 400 lb rating but can't find it listed anywhere, I'm sure for liability issues. I agree with you 100% about looks and the box like look of the others.

Mine was $2700 even before tax and install here in DFW today. I got lucky and found a dealer that had four on the way last week so I scooped up the first one that came in when they called me yesterday to come check it out.

Non HD
Matte Black
Carpet
Sliding windows with screens
Light strip wired in
Edit: also sliding window towards cab.

The door is gouged and a carpet issue but they put it in writing that they would correct in two weeks when replacement parts arrive.

Do you mind saying which DFW dealer you found one at?

Is that a windoor with a sliding window also? Didn't know you could combo the two.

I'm wondering about the weight, with the Mojave already being leveled, does the cap make it sag in the back?

I'm comparing this to the SmartCap, and the price and appearance is definitely in ARE's favor right now, but the weight is a tough one, since I have a kid and a dog, when adding that to the Wife's stuff our camping loadout is on the heavy side.

Curious do you know by chance how much your bed may be down in terms of height after you put the cap on?

Yes, sliding window on the windoors. I was also concerned about the cap causing it to look saggy in the rear, but could hardly notice it with it installed. We have loaded the bed a couple times and still haven't noticed much droop.

I did purchase the airlift bags for it before the top came in thinking the same way you are. I still will probably install them, I have them on my JKU and have been very happy with their performance. I know what you mean about packing it up to camp with all the "necessities".

It was DFW Camper, the one located on 121/Airport Fwy just north of downtown FTW.
