Top 5 Reasons to Choose a LEER Fiberglass Truck Cap

When it comes to protecting your truck bed, few upgrades offer the same combination of durability, style, and versatility as a LEER fiberglass truck cap. Whether you use your pickup for work, travel, or everyday errands, a LEER cap transforms your truck bed into a secure, weather-resistant, and highly functional space.

At CT Truck & Van in Middletown, CT, we install LEER fiberglass caps for all major truck brands and help customers choose the best model for their lifestyle. If you're considering a cap for your truck, here are the top 5 reasons why LEER is a smart investment:


1. Durability That Withstands Daily Use

LEER fiberglass caps are built to last. Made from high-strength, automotive-grade fiberglass, these caps resist dents, warping, cracking, and UV damage, even in extreme weather.

Compared to soft covers or aluminum shells, a LEER fiberglass cap offers superior structural integrity. Whether you're a tradesperson loading tools daily or an outdoor enthusiast packing for the weekend, you can trust your cap to handle the job.

Why it matters: Less wear and tear, less maintenance, and a cap that holds up year after year.


2. Endless Customization Options

No two trucks or truck owners are the same. That’s why LEER offers a wide variety of models and accessory options to match your exact needs. From sleek, minimalist styles to fully outfitted caps with side-access panels and roof racks, LEER lets you build the perfect setup.

Popular custom features include:

  • Sliding windows

  • Side doors with tool storage

  • Overhead ladder racks or cross bars

  • Interior LED lighting

  • Carpeted headliners or insulation

  • Factory paint-matching for a seamless finish

Whether you choose the LEER 100XR, 100XL, or 100R, you’ll get a cap that performs the way you need and looks great doing it.

Why it matters: You can tailor your cap for personal use, work efficiency, or both.


3. Secure, Lockable Storage

Security is one of the most common reasons customers choose a LEER fiberglass cap. With locking rear doors and optional side panel locks, you can keep your gear safe from theft and prying eyes.

For contractors, that means peace of mind when leaving tools in your truck overnight. For families or recreational users, it means storing luggage, sports equipment, or electronics without worry.

Why it matters: You can protect valuable cargo wherever you go.


4. Weather Resistance You Can Rely On

In New England, trucks face everything from heavy rain to snow and road salt. LEER fiberglass caps are built with tight-fitting seals and water-resistant construction to help shield your truck bed from the elements.

While no truck cap is completely waterproof, LEER caps are designed to minimize water intrusion and keep your gear as dry as possible in typical driving and weather conditions. This helps protect your cargo and reduces the risk of rust or corrosion in your truck bed.

Why it matters: You get dependable protection from rain, snow, and debris, helping your truck bed and its contents stay cleaner and drier through all seasons.


5. A Clean, Professional Look

LEER fiberglass caps enhance your truck’s appearance. The aerodynamic, molded shape blends smoothly with your truck’s factory lines. With factory-matched paint, the cap complements the vehicle perfectly.

Many commercial clients appreciate the professional image a cap adds to their fleet trucks. For personal vehicles, it adds a sleek and polished look without compromising functionality.

Why it matters: Your truck can look just as good as it works.
