We had to have 4WD, so something like the Transit would have been nice (storage-wise), the cost of adding 4WD was prohibitive.

We have an ARE for the Tacoma.  It's OK at best.  Having cabinets on the side is more storage, we still have most of the truck bed to use, and it has a really nice aluminum rack with a roller to make the ladder easy up/down.  Quality is good, we've replaced that back lock a few times due to use/vandalism though and the aluminum fingers we replaced after 6 years due to wear.

If you have to have a truck, it's good.  I'd strongly recommend a Ford Transit with the shelving over for installs though.

We used ARE because the ladder racks had "outriggers". The Lear and one other we looked at kind of bulged out such that doing an R&R for the topper would have been a pain. As it happens, we never removed the topper, so it may not have made any difference.

What brand of topper are you using?

We have had a local shop called Custom Trucks do all of that stuff. This
is in Redwood City, CA, but I'm sure every metro area has something
similar. For us it's a one-stop shop. They did the bed slide, shell, and
ladder rack in one go.
