Let's See Some Canopy/Shell Pics
The canopy section of this forum is a little light on pics for the new F-150. I'm debating a shell vs. tonneau cover on my new girlfriend (as my wife always calls my trucks). I had a Diamondback on my F-350 and loved it, but I'm thinking of going back to a canopy this time around. I'd like to see some pics on the new body style, so post those glamor shots
Would also appreciate any feedback on your brand of choice. I've had Leer and Snugtop in the past and both have their strengths and weaknesses.

That's a good looking truck. Yes, please post some pics when you've got the time.

If I wanted a canopy I'd get an SUV... and I could have; but I wanted the features no other brand has and I figured out how to maximize more space in the cab without the need for an SUV (see I had one dog... and I had all the space I needed, got a 2nd dog... well I lost quite a bit of space so I moved the dog up to the front seat and one in the back problem solved!
I like having an open back, gives me more visbility than an SUV (in my opinion) but I will get a spray in bedliner before I add a tonneau cover (IF I even do that).
These days I don't see trucks with canopies anymore it seems.

all I'm saying is I'd get an SUV before I'd get a canopy; I'd still consider a tonneau cover; if I got one I'd certainly add a pic. You're wanting pics of Canopies & tonneau covers so no harm in at least mentioning I'd possibly get one if not a canopy.

I won't bore you with the details or my spreadsheets, but a SUV was considered for a while. The wife would actually prefer one. The long list of "if-then" considerations is pointing me to a canopy with a tonneau a close second. It's all about how I want to rig-out my new toy.

Well I got my SnugTop Supersport shell pull on today and I think it looks good. Only problem one problem it has a chip on it and has to be sent back. Oh well I guess I can wait a couple more weeks.

I thought it looked good , was hard telling them to send it back. The chip was on the driver side by the cab. They said they would try to touch it up but that's not going to happen on a new top . Besides I would see it every time I got in the truck.

Any idea what the thing weighs? I would like to "sometimes" put a shell on mine, and I'm wondering about how big a hassle I'm setting myself up for.
