    Gen 2 Leer Canopy On A Gen 3 Truck?

    Long story short, I've to drive from the UK over to The Netherlands on a rescue mission.

    I need a hardtop cover as I'll be picking up 5 dogs.

    Putting a wanted out in the UK Facebook group, I was met with someone selling a gen 2 leer hard top.

    Does the gen 2 hard top fit a gen 3 bed? Both are 8 foot beds.

    I'm going to know more about the top soon, the seller sent me this photo.

    Colour isn't going to be an issue as I'll get coded when I get back.

    Gen 2 Leer Canopy On A Gen 3 Truck?

    If they are both 8’ beds, then to me, it should fit.

    The only thing I would be concerned about is the back of the cabs are they different from a Gen 2 to a Gen 3?

    I'll get some photos and model numbers, and I suppose if I sweet-talk someone, at leer they might confirm it.

    You mean back, as in the back end?

    Where is the tailgate?

    That thought crossed my mind.

    Just the rarity of these in the UK and the urgency of this purchase is making me possibly impulse buy and having it bite me on the backside.

    Delved right into the hole - found this youtube vid.

    Short answer yes, long answer no because tub width narrows as it gets closer to the tailgate.



    A? ?risk I'm willing to take, I'm willing to part with the asking price, if it looks stupid, I'll sell it.

    If it looks OK and seals up nice, I'll get it painted.

    But mainly using it to keep 5 dogs dry and out of the wind in travel crates.

    The real test will be if it survives doing a lap around the nürburgring!

    My roller is weathered to letting in water so now I just let the tub get wet, it's no bother. I'm using it as a proper ute!

    Hopefully, you can confirm the fit with Leer.

    Otherwise, it might be a good idea to give the seller some earnest money to hold it and make the sale contingent on a trial fit.

    Yes, he's had it for sale for a while.

    Gen 2's are quite rare here now.

    Rust is making a bit more of a challenge keeping them on the road.

    The v10s are staying as show trucks, so they're not using them as utes or dailies, fuel prices and all that, even running propane.

    Most of the gen 2's are magnums/v10s over here.

    As a massive motorsports fan, the Nürburgring and Autobahn are my European Mecca's.

    I'd pay money to see a Medium Duty RAM understeer its way through the Ring just for the fun of it.

    Maybe someday I'll make it out there.
