On par with what I was told. Said some have been coming in 4 weeks now. That is down from 12 weeks when I inquired a few months ago. We shall see!

What is your favorite truck cap with sliding windows?

Just to chime in here. I live in Washington. Ordered my ARE on Aug 23, 2021. Coming up on 6 months now and still waiting. COVID, staffing and supply chain delays. My topper was built in the Ohio plant and my dealer said that it is finished but are now waiting on transportation. My guess is that they wont deliver till they have a full truck to come out West. Another forum said that they were way behind on backorders. This is my 3rd ARE canopy that I have ordered from my local dealer, never been a problem before. COVID exhaustion.
Good luck!

I think I got pretty lucky. I also live in Washington and ordered a Leer in mid February. It arrived in 3 weeks!Just to chime in here. I live in Washington. Ordered my ARE on Aug 23, 2021.

Man, that's great! Maybe the supply chain is starting to ramp up again. I finally took order of my ARE canopy, 6 month and 1 day from placing my order in late August. It was installed filthy dirty and it took me over an hour to get whatever crap off that was on the side windows (Dawn soap and squeegee to the rescue). Hopefully, I wont have to purchase a new canopy for quite a while. If I do, it wont be from this distributor or from ARE again. Never had trouble with ARE in the past, this is my 3rd ARE canopy. Just bad timing on my part.
I am sending this while camping at beautiful Fort Casey State Park. Being from Washington State you might know where that is. Enjoy your new canopy and RAM truck.
I couldn't really wait a year and ordered and received my Leer already. I do see what you mean about build quality. The frames on both side windows have little protrusions sticking out where the screws from the inside came through too far so the installer is going to replace them. And then the seal on the back window was coming loose a little. I guess the upside is that the installer will probably do a way better job putting in the windows than the factory did, but it is embarrassing that it was even allowed to leave the factory like that. It did only take 3 weeks though.
