Ram

Covered When You Need It, Open When You Don't

A Ram camper shell should work as hard as your truck does. Softopper builds a retractable soft truck top for the Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 that covers your gear for everyday hauling. When a bigger load calls for it, the top folds forward toward the cab for a full open bed.

You get the coverage of a traditional topper with the convenience of a fully collapsible design. It is built for Ram owners and everyday haulers who need to keep gear covered one day and move a full load the next. Whether you want a Ram 1500 camper shell for daily driving, a Ram 2500 camper shell for the jobsite, or a Ram 3500 camper shell for towing season, this category gives you covered protection without giving up the bed.

Buying Considerations

Fitment is vehicle-specific, so start by selecting the years you drive. Softopper offers multiple fitment options based on your truck's model year and bed length, with short-bed, standard-bed, and long-bed options available. A Ram 1500/2500/3500 soft truck top fits 2011-2027 body styles, and a 1991-2010 Ram soft truck top fits the older body. Although these options are grouped into two product pages, you can select the configuration that matches your specific truck.

Together they cover Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 from 1991 to 2027, plus the 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic. Classic Mopar SUVs are handled separately, with complete kits for the Dodge Ramcharger and Plymouth Trailduster. Keep truck fitment and classic-SUV fitment separate, and use the vehicle selector to confirm your exact year and bed length.

Every Ram truck cap in this category mounts with no-drill C-clamps and installs in about an hour. The frame is rust-proof anodized aluminum, and the Standard Vinyl is a UV-stabilized, mildew-resistant waterproof vinyl in black, tan, or grey. Premium Black Twill is a triple-layer fabric with a standard dark tinted rear window.

Clear vinyl windows come standard for visibility, and commercial-grade #10 YKK zippers keep the rear window secure through years of daily access. Non-adhesive weather stripping runs beneath the Softopper bed rails, sealing along both sides of the truck box against dust and moisture. Interchangeable clear, tinted, mesh, or solid window panels swap in minutes for privacy or airflow. Shoppers comparing a Ram 1500 truck cap on price should also weigh the warranty: your Dodge Ram camper shell is backed by a 1-year warranty on the top, 3 months on vinyl windows, and 6 months on zippers.

Why Softopper

Softopper is the original retractable soft truck top, made in North America and in production for 25-plus years, with 50-plus vehicle-specific fitments across the truck market. Unlike a fixed hard cap or a flat cover, a Softopper soft camper shell clamps on without drilling and stays lightweight. It folds toward the cab in seconds for full open-bed access, so a camper shell for Ram 1500 owners never has to choose between coverage and capability.

Be honest about security: a soft truck top is not a locking hard cap. Pair it with an aftermarket lock box to secure valuables while keeping the versatile open bed.
