Topper

"Hey there so I’ve had my soft topper for a short time I like the versatility I pull a fifth wheel trailer this a lows me to fold it up with ease to allow me to pull my trailer Then when I reach my destination I can unhook the trailer and fold the top back out !! It came in 2 boxes was fairly easy to assemble some of the frame connection were they snap together were slightly off I had to make adjustments Once I got the canvas put into place I had to let it sit in the sun for couple of hours then I was able to pull the canvas and get the snaps in place It’s not as easy as the video shows This unit is going to fit my needs very well"

"Overall, extremely happy with my soft topper. The one and only thing that I wish was a little easier would be some sort of a quick release for the back window flap to come up. I do not need the whole thing collapsed very often, but it would be handy to have a quicker release for the back window to be accessible. Overall, very good product!"

Q&A

How much for shipping all the way to Saskatchewan, Canada?
Hey Maureen, thank you for your interest in our Softoppers! Shipping cost will depend on your order and shipping address. If you want, our customer service team would be happy to give you a quote. Please don't hesitate to reach out at 1-800-810-7227 or [email protected]
Is this top not compatible with the ram box because it won't allow the ram box to open? Or Is it that it's not compatible with ram boxes because it can't clamp to the frame correctly? If it's the latter then I'm okay with not having my ram boxes accessible to have this top.
Thank you for your interest in our Softoppers! We do not make a top for the Rambox trucks. The box system is incompatible with the placement of our bedrails. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
What is the clearance from the truck bed of a 2020 RAM 1500 to the Softopper?
The clearance will be the sale height as the cab of the truck! It looks like for this model, it is 22 inches. Please let us know if you have any additional questions!
Does this fit with Rambox?
Thank you for your interest in our Softoppers! We do not make a top for the Rambox trucks. The box system is incompatible with the placement of our bedrails. We don’t know of any companies that make a top for this truck. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
are there window/vents in the sides
Our truck models do not have windows or vents on the sides however, they are attached with snaps and have sewn in buckles and straps. This allows you to easily roll up the sides if needed.

This lightweight, retractable soft truck top is custom-fit for 2009-2026 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models, including the 2019-2024 Ram 1500 Classic, and it retracts toward the cab in seconds to open up the full bed without removing a thing. It installs in minutes with custom C-clamps: no drilling, no permanent modifications, and non-adhesive weather stripping that seals the truck bed. The rust-proof anodized aluminum frame supports a 2-ply, PVC-coated sailcloth canopy in waterproof vinyl fabric that is UV-, rot-, and mildew-resistant, with heavy-duty #10 YKK zippers built to last.

We warrant all of our Softoppers to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year, with the exception of vinyl windows and zippers, provided there has been normal use and proper maintenance.

Vinyl Windows are warranted for a period of 3 months from the date of purchase.

Zippers are guaranteed to be in perfect working condition when leaving the factory. Due to atmospheric conditions, dirt, sand, road grime, dust, and abrasive cleaners, etc., zippers are warranted for a period of 6 months from the date of purchase.

Toyota 4 Runner, Blazer, Jimmy, Scout, Bronco, and RamCharger side curtain windows are warranted for 45 days from the date of purchase. Retracting or closing the top when the temperature is below 40 degrees may void the warranty on the side windows, as clear vinyl plastic can crack very easily at these temperatures. Use caution when retracting the top or cleaning off the windows in freezing temperatures.

Additional Information

Installation/Removal
The Softopper installs in minutes with custom clamps without any permanent modifications required. No drilling needed. Non-adhesive weather stripping provides waterproofing for your entire truck bed. It takes one person mere seconds to remove your Softopper entirely and folds flat for quick, easy storage in any space.  

Modular and Versatile
Customize your Softopper for how you work and play. In addition to the fully open and fully closed configurations, the canopy’s side panels and rear window roll up for easy access. No more crawling through the bed to get to gear up front. It’s also dog friendly. Open up the sides and give your pal plenty of air with protection from the sun and rain. Replaceable clear vinyl windows provide complete visibility through your truck bed.

Quality/Durability
Made in North America from the highest quality materials. A rust-free, anodized aluminum frame supports a 2-Ply, laminated PVC-coated canopy. The canopy is waterproof, UV, rot and mildew resistant, and is incredibly easy to clean. This 4-season sailcloth shrugs off beating sun, pouring rain, heavy snow and hurricane-force winds. Uses heavy duty #10 YKK zippers. The non-adhesive weather stripping protects your entire truck bed. And all parts are user replaceable.

Substance with Style
Available in three colors: Stealth Black, Desert Tan, and Battleship Gray. There are three options for the replaceable window panels: Clear, tinted and solid. Looks as great as the day you bought it, for years to come.

Everyday Utility
Strikes the balance of bulky, heavy camper shells and space-limiting flat tonneau covers. Use fully closed for weather protection and security, quickly collapse it open for hauling or go safari style with sides rolled up. No significant change in gas mileage. No wind noise even when driving at highway speeds.
