Ford F-250 Camper Shell by LEER | A.R.E. Truck Caps
Our LEER 100XQ F-250 camper shell transforms your Super Duty bed into secure, weatherproof cargo space. This premium fiberglass cap fits 2017–2024 Ford F-250 models with 6.75-foot and 8-foot bed configurations, matching your truck’s paint and contours for a factory-integrated appearance.
We build every F-250 camper shell with automotive-grade gelcoat, reinforced aluminum framing, and dual-pane tinted windows. The result is a cap that withstands commercial worksite demands while protecting gear from the elements year-round.
LEER F-250 construction and specs
Fiberglass construction and finish quality
We mold each LEER F-250 camper shell from hand-laid fiberglass with double-wall construction in high-stress areas. The gelcoat finish is color-matched to Ford’s factory paint codes, so your cap blends seamlessly with Super Duty exterior panels.
The shell’s reinforced corners and integrated drip rails prevent water intrusion at the cab junction and tailgate seal. Interior surfaces feature smooth gelcoat that resists staining and simplifies cleanup after hauling equipment or materials.
Bed length and cab fitment for F-250
The LEER 100XQ is manufactured in two bed lengths for Ford F-250 Super Duty applications. The 6.75-foot model suits crew cab configurations, while the 8-foot version fits both crew cab long-bed and regular cab setups from the 2017 model year forward.
We precision-cut each shell’s front bulkhead to match the F-250’s cab contour and rain gutter profile. The bulb gasket compresses against the cab’s rear window frame, creating a weather seal that prevents drafts and road spray from entering the bed area.
Window configurations and ventilation
Standard dual-pane windows on all four sides provide visibility and natural light while hauling. The front panel slides open for airflow and for passing long items like lumber or fishing rods through to the cab.
Each side window is made from DOT-approved safety glass with a dark tint that reduces interior heat buildup and conceals cargo. The glass is bonded into aluminum frames with automotive urethane, the same adhesive used in windshield installations.

F-250 camper shell installation and compatibility
Yes, the LEER 100XQ fits all 2017–2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty models with either 6.75-foot or 8-foot bed lengths. Ford has not changed the cab or bed dimensions during this generation, so the same shell molds work across all production years.
When ordering, confirm your bed length and cab style with your dealer. Crew cab short bed uses the 6.75-foot model, while crew cab long bed and regular cab configurations use the 8-foot version.
Professional installation is strongly recommended for proper fit and warranty coverage. The shell weighs approximately 180 pounds and requires precise alignment to the cab bulkhead and stake pocket clamps.
Most LEER dealers complete installation in 90 minutes to two hours. They adjust the bulb gasket seal, level the shell to prevent water pooling, and verify all locks and windows operate correctly. Attempting solo installation risks damaging the gelcoat or misaligning the weatherstripping.
The integrated T-slot tracks are rated for 500 pounds distributed load when using compatible crossbars. This capacity supports ladder racks, kayak carriers, rooftop cargo boxes, and similar accessories.
Concentrated point loads like a single heavy item should be avoided. Always use at least two crossbars spaced 24 inches apart to distribute weight across multiple mounting points. Exceeding the 500-pound limit may void the structural warranty.
No drilling is required. The LEER 100XQ uses clamp assemblies that insert into your F-250’s factory stake pockets. These clamps apply upward pressure to hold the shell in place while allowing you to remove it in the future without permanent modifications.
Each clamp features a threaded rod that tightens against a metal plate inside the stake pocket. This system is approved by Ford and does not affect your truck’s factory warranty.
We offer factory paint-match in all current Ford Super Duty exterior colors including Agate Black, Antimatter Blue, Stone Gray, and Oxford White. Custom color matching is available for older F-250 models or special fleet colors.
The color-match process uses Ford’s official paint codes and includes clear coat for UV protection. Most standard colors add no upcharge, while metallic and tri-coat finishes may carry an additional fee depending on your dealer.
The front sliding window features a friction lock that prevents it from opening during travel but does not use a keyed cylinder. The window slides along aluminum tracks with adjustable tension screws to eliminate rattling.
For security, the main rear door uses a three-point keyed lock system. Once the rear door is locked, the bed area is fully secured even with the front window’s slide mechanism accessible from inside the bed.
Wash the gelcoat surface with automotive soap and water using a soft sponge or microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or stiff brushes that can dull the finish over time.
Apply a quality automotive wax every three to four months to protect against UV degradation and oxidation. If the gelcoat develops light scratches, use a fiberglass rubbing compound followed by polish to restore the gloss. The weatherstripping around windows and doors should be treated with silicone spray twice a year to maintain flexibility.
