I added keyless and an auto on switch for the light myself which is fairly easy to do if you have basic electrical skills and can decipher vehicle electrical diagrams and save a ton. Both are must have in my opinion.
Yeah, they are double the cost you think they should be, but all the brands are around the same price, so go look and see which one you like best. With Fords and their ever changing weird tailgates, the rear window is the main difference between brands. I can't remember which one, but one makes a curved glass that you can actually break into easily by sliding your hand up between the window and tailgate and unlocking it - check YouTube.
They all have coupons and sales, you should be able to get something for free - sliding front window, carpet, $150 or whatever.
I shopped around a bunch, the different shops all charge about the same so I went with the one that seemed to have the best operation and felt like they would do the best install. Some of them resemble Sanford & Sons and I always thought that if they don't take care of their stuff then it wasn't likely they would take care of my stuff.

Paying for the auto locking feature synced to my factory Ford fob was the best thing.
The interior LED quit working after about a year.
Wish I had ordered it with the roof rack rails.

I bought a Leer for my F150.

Leers are great, very well built. One could say they’re the Toyota of the canopy world :chuckle:

I'm hoping I don't have the same feeling about no roof rack rails.
The auto locking is actually tied into the tailgate lock wiring, there isn't a separate receiver to the remote (it locks and unlocks with the tailgate, either on one unlock push or two depending on how you have the rear doors/tailgate set to unlock). If you have a mechanical locking tailgate, the wiring is right there and easy to tap into. If you have a fully electric tailgate, I think you need to run a wire up and grab the rear door locking wiring in the cab as the tailgate doesn't actually lock on those the same way as it does on the mechanical ones.
It's not simple to wire, but doable if you are inclined to such things and can find and read a wiring diagram. Either way, I agree it's a must have. Same with the auto on light, just pop the rear glass open and the light comes on without needing an extra hand and searching for the button. On my LEER, the button is hard to reach and I'm 6'4" with no lift on the truck.

But will be looking to unload it soon as I'm in the middle of a custom canopy build to replace it. Since my truck is now just a 100% fishing/hunting rig, I'm building a stronger canopy so my 14ft Hobie Angler can fit on the roof (boat rollers). And a little more height inside.
But the SnugTop took care of me and my gear for many years.

Funny, I haven’t had to reengineer anything and other than the interior light, it doesn’t reek of ‘lowest cost bidder’.
Can’t say the same about Toyota.
