I just went through a search for a used one for my 13. The used search was tough especially with Ram making 3 sizes of beds. This is my first cap. I didn't like the profile of most of them and decided the only one I really liked was the ARE Z series. I priced a new one locally and was told with all the options I wanted it was $2600. Carpeted inside, painted to match with power lock connected to my locks. I finally found one used for $900 with the Yakima racks. It's the wrong color but doesn't really look too bad. I'm considering doing a wrap on it toatch my truck. I believe Lund makes one with a similar rear profile which is what I really liked. Just ordered the truck side wiring harness from local dealer and switch to turn on my interior light when I open the hatch for $117.

Mine has a trim strip on the bottom edge that I was actually going to remove. Maybe I'll reconsider. The latch is awkward bit still better than having 2 handles.I had an ARE Z-series on my 2015 for a while. Fit was good, no leaks, two complaints are that the rear glass latch is garbage and the company should be ashamed of themselves for putting something that low quality and user-unfriendly on a cap this expensive, and it would have been nice if they had finished the lower edge with a strip of rubber trim or something it was just rough glass covered in a little paint and it always just looked like what it is.... a rough cut. Some L-profile rubber trim would have been perfect, I almost bought some to DIY it but ended up needing to use my truck for larger cargo on a frequent basis so I sold the cap.

Man those were good looking rigs
I love my ARE Z-series topper. I have had it since my first 2016 model truck and have used it on every one of my new trucks since. I almost had it painted last year to match my grey 2019 but now that I have a new 2020 Silver... i might just get it wrapped.
I will also add that it is worth at least 1.2-2mpg on the highway and gives just enough weight to really smooth the ride.
