Hi.

I am considering buying the A.R.E. MX series for a 2008 Silverado with a
single T handle in the door. Does anyone have any experience with the
A.R.E.? Thanks.

Bought a new ARE for a truck in 1990. Saw a lot of rough service and held
up well.

I am currently running a GEM Top on one of my work trucks. The engineering
is horrible. I have looked at other tops very carefully for newer trucks
and finally settled on A.R.E. One of my former employees does similar type
work for the local county buildings, and he went with an ARE cap on his
service truck. I looked at it carefully, and recognize that it addresses
every single issue I have had with my GEM top or just deos it way better.
Price wise I can get the ARE cap for less than I paid for the GEM top 6
years ago. A.R.E. it is.

I'll let you know in a few years how it held up to continuous work duty.

Note: The A.R.E. cap is all aluminum including the frame. It is light
weight, but might not be suitable for hauling a big stack of fiberglass
ladders everyday.
