So im looking for a cap. I know we have some threads already. But I made this one to be ARE specific. I want a clean look for my Velocity Blue Tremor. Also, I like the option of putting a rack on top/lights on top.
 
The A.R.E. site states the Revo and Evolve aren't available for the Super Duty. I don't like the black trim on the Overland, so I'd go with the Z or CX Classic. If you're planning on putting any decent weight in the rack then the CX HD.
 
@funnyman3000 Very good point. Epic fail on my part. LOL. Only thing i plan to put up there is maybe a spare, lights, or idk what else.

I was tempted by their MX with the added light bar, but ultimately went with a tonneau instead. If the light bar were more BD XL linkable or Gavity Pro 6 type, I might have been swayed. I know form follows function, and subjective opinions and all, but I just can't get into those light bars that are a big wide solid matrix of little LED bulbs.

Anyway, Z or MX were my final two, before changing direction to a tonneau. But definitely consider what you'll be putting up there on a rack, and the load rating of the cap.
 
I am getting a Z series installed Wednesday. I will try to remember to post some pics.

Do you mind sharing how much it was, and if you got any extras.
 
I got the Yakima roof rails, the remote lock, interior lights, fold down window... I'm probably forgetting something. I believe it was right at $4k
 
I think A.R.E. had a 10-12 week leed time. How long did you end up waiting on yours?
 
Yeah it was ordered back at the end of July and showed up the first of October
 
Here are pictures of my new ARE Z series cap.
