Softopper®
DESCRIPTION
Built to fit the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma with a 5 ft bed ('21-23 without the bed storage lockbox), the Softopper is the original, industry-leading retractable soft truck top, a soft truck topper made for the way you actually use your Tacoma. It replaces heavy fiberglass or metal camper shells and gives you cab-high protection a flat tonneau cover can't. When a bigger load calls for it, the top folds toward the cab or lifts off entirely, so you get full bed access in seconds. It's built for camping, working, and sporting events, keeping your gear covered from the weather and hidden from sight. Most models, including this Tacoma fit, install in about 40 minutes with custom C-clamps: no drilling, no permanent modifications, and one person can remove it in seconds. Made in North America.
Key Features:
- Original retractable soft truck top – Softopper invented the retractable soft truck top and builds every model in North America.
- Full bed access in seconds – The lightweight top folds toward the cab or lifts off entirely, so you can haul taller loads without tools.
- No-drill C-clamp install – Most models mount with custom C-clamps in about 40 minutes, with no drilling and no permanent modifications, and one person removes it in seconds.
- Rust-proof aluminum frame – The anodized aluminum frame and zinc-coated steel fasteners resist corrosion, and the frame components are user-replaceable with genuine Softopper replacement parts.
- Waterproof vinyl canopy – The laminated PVC-coated sailcloth is a waterproof vinyl that's UV-, rot-, and mildew-resistant, 4-season, and easy to clean.
- Swappable window panels – Choose clear, tinted, or solid replacement window panels that attach via #10 YKK zippers so you can swap them out individually.
- Safari Mode and sealed sides – Roll up the side panels and rear window into Safari Mode for airflow and quick, dog-friendly bed access, while non-adhesive weather stripping seals along both sides of the truck box.
- Everyday-ready value – Priced at $1,049.99 in black, tan, or grey, with no significant change in gas mileage and no wind noise at highway speed.

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.Â
