Softopper®
DESCRIPTION
A truck should stay a truck. Your Softopper for the 2016-2023 (3rd Gen) Toyota Tacoma fits the 6 ft bed and gives you covered protection for everyday hauling, plus a full open bed when a bigger load calls for it. It is the original retractable soft truck top, made in North America, and part of the Softopper truck soft tops lineup. Not sure which model matches your truck? Browse all Toyota Tacoma soft truck tops to confirm your year and bed length.
Instead of a heavy fiberglass or metal camper shell, you get cab-high coverage a flat tonneau cover can't match, with a clean factory-integrated look, no significant change in gas mileage, and no wind noise even at highway speed. It installs with no-drill custom C-clamps in about 40 minutes. One person can retract it toward the cab or remove it entirely in seconds. For valuables, pair your Softopper with an aftermarket lock box to add secured storage while keeping the open, retractable bed.
A corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum frame supports a laminated PVC-coated sailcloth canopy, a waterproof vinyl that resists UV, rot, and mildew. Roll up the sides and rear window for airflow, or swap the interchangeable window panels between clear, tinted, mesh, and solid. Choose Standard Vinyl in black, tan, or grey, or the Premium Black Twill canopy with a standard dark tinted rear window.
Key Features:
- The Original Retractable Soft Truck Top – Softopper is the original retractable soft truck top, handmade in North America.
- Full Bed Access in Seconds – The top retracts toward the cab or removes entirely, so one person can open the whole 6 ft bed for larger loads. Want to carry gear overhead? The Exo Truck Bed Rack mounts under your Softopper bed rails.
- No-Drill Clamp-On Install – Custom C-clamps mount the top in about 40 minutes, with no permanent modifications and no drilling.
- Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Frame – A rust-proof anodized aluminum frame with zinc-coated steel fasteners keeps your Softopper lightweight and durable.
- Waterproof Vinyl Canopy – The laminated PVC-coated sailcloth is a waterproof vinyl that resists UV, rot, and mildew for weather-resistant, all-season coverage.
- Interchangeable Window Panels – Swap the front and rear panels between clear, tinted, mesh, and solid, with commercial-grade #10 YKK zippers securing the rear window.
- Safari Mode Airflow – Roll up the side panels and rear window for ventilation, quick bed access, and a dog-friendly open-air setup.
- Built to Last and Be Serviced – Window panels swap out individually and frame components are user-replaceable, backed by genuine replacement parts so your Softopper keeps working for years.

Installation Instructions
Softopper® ST Truck Installation Sheet
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.
