Leer Truck Cap for Honda Ridgeline 2017 and newer, clean look & great function 100XR
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Just added the leer brand camper shell to the ridgeline. Fit and finish is near perfect. I got the 100XL and carpet headliner and sliding window options.
Total cost with sales tax here in St louis was about $2500 installed.

Cannot believe how much these cost now. Used to be $1,500- $1,800 installed. At $3,100 installed, they shouldn't leak.
Your vid was right on time, I’m interested in a 17-19 Ridge Line. The camper shell looks great on your truck! Very impressed!
The Leer Cap makes it look very custom....I like!
Your truck looks great. (And I'm not a fan of hardtops at all.) I've got the OEM tonneau cover on my white 2019 Sport AWD. Don't need as much security as you. Happy Ridgelining!
It looks wonderful on your truck
Looking really sharp! I’ve been debating trading in my Focus ST, getting a civic type R and keeping my tacoma, but I think I am going to keep my focus, skip the type R and try to get into a ridgline. I’m in love with this truck and can’t stop watching videos! Thank you for these.

Is trading in the Tacoma for Ridgeline worth it for the sake of a more comfortable Honda interior?

@@SilverScarletSpider depends what you want honestly. I still got the tacoma. And the 86. Tacoma has served me so well. It’s a single cab prerunner so it’s super useful but not very comfortable. My 86 isn’t that comfortable either. I definitely need a vehicle with 4 doors but I’m not sure if I’d still get the ridge line. There’s the ford maverick now which is another great option…

@@jonsauce That’s a good point. I can trust Toyota’s Tacoma and Honda’s Ridgeline reliability. I can trust the Hyundai Santa Cruz and Ford Maverick to get recalled within 8 years and have unreliable shit electronics, failing brakes, and hybrid engine issues.
Looks fantastic👍🏻👍🏻
With your truck bed down and the camper window up, can you tell me how many inches of clearance you've got from floor to where the window stops? I'm trying to see if there is enough vertical space to get a power wheelchair in the back. Thanks!
Great addition , the TRUCK looks great. Any recollection on how it affected fuel milage ?
Seriously looking at this for my '17 Black Edition. Any idea how much the cap weighs? I tow a 4000lb trailer and always keep a close eye my GCWR.
Looks fantastic
What is the height from the bed of the truck to the ceiling of the topper? And from the bed to the top edge of the topper rear window sill?
Damn, this looks awesome the way it sits.
I have a mountain bike that I transport with the front tire over the tailgate. Is there a way to keep the hood open in the up position
this is pretty useful just wish the lines would flow better with the stock roof

How much did you pay for the camper ? I have the same truck.. Thanks
Beautiful! I'm trying to decide on an aluminum cap. I just don't want heavy fiber glass. I don't like the way the ARE aluminum looks but I like that the side windows open up... But maybe I don't even need that feature, I can't decide. I'll look again for what Leer makes for aluminum cap.

When the rear window of the topper is up and open , does rain run off to the sides or does it drip everywhere along the opening and into the truck box? I’m just thinking of the situation when camping, wanting to get out of the rain but wanting to leave the rear window of the topper open for fresh air. If the rain pours into the end of the box I guess I could create a small tarp to strap on with bungee straps. Thanks

I had bed cover and it leaked in same spot, on the wall next to middle windows, Its some design of the Ridgeline that 99% of owners say it leaks from. Nothing drips it just runs down the wall to floor and its not very much. I use plastic tubs. Vision has not really bothered me, Backing up utility trailer the hardest, gust open top back window so I can see out better and see my ramp
Nice lookin truck
Sweet!! What wheels? Size etc.?
Hello, is this the 100xl or 100xr? The title mentions one, but your comments says it’s the other. Thanks! Nice looking truck!
I thought about something like this for camping, but wouldn't want it on there all the time. Is it easily removable or more permanent?

Its easy for 2 strong people. If you really wanted to remove yourself semi often you would need a to set up rig in garage or outside that you pull under and it hoist it up. The clamps that hold it on take about 10 min to remove. You would need to replace the foam between each time. I can only guess its 350 pounds.
What was general price range for the topper. And are you happy with the reliability for long-term with the Honda ridgeline? I’m really thinking of purchasing a used one as I go into retirement so I needed to last a long time and put a topper on it like you

My question I’ve been trying to get a answer from Leer is do they put any reinforcement in the front two points that cover the black trim at the front of the bed? Looks to me like it would crack after a while being a small piece of fiberglass pointing into the wind all the time.
