Reviews

I'm a really big fan

"I'm a really big fan of the topper. I wanted the flexibility to use for work (no topper) and camping on the weekend. The install was pretty easy, needed some extra snaps which were cheap and easy to purchase from the website. Camping with it is extremely enjoyable :). I would definitely recommend. Thanks Softopper!"

Doesn’t fit right. Maybe it’s

"Doesn’t fit right. Maybe it’s something I’m doing wrong. It does keep everything dry I like that. When I attach the brackets to the bed rail they do not stay in place. They pull in towards the bed of the truck. It’s very hard to put the topper on ."

Doesn't fit

"No matter what I did, I could not get it on all the way. Left it out in the sun in 90 degree heat to stretch the fabric, but still no good. I've spent about 4 hours trying to do it and still will not snap into place. The fabric is too small."

Camo 4th gen Tacoma softopper

"I got this vintage brown camo Softopper for my 2025 Tacoma trd off road. It is even better than I thought it was going to already be! It fits great, keeps my bed covered and dry, and just looks amazing! I highly recommend thinking about adding Ken for your next build!"

Fifth Softopper

"I recently purchased my fifth Softopper. This product has been a staple for every new truck I’ve owner. The first three were fantastic, and everyone who asks me about it I told them it is a must have. The fourth I purchased during Covid for a Tacoma and the fit was poor, and required me to redrill and move the snaps in the bed rails because they were spaced unevenly and did not line up with the fabric top. I chalked it up to supply chain and moved on. The most recent top I purchased for my new 2025 Tacoma had a similar issue with the front passenger side snap on the rail, and several of the snaps on the fabric top are weak and do not stay fastened at speeds over 60mph. Overall, I wouldnt feel comfortable recommending this product any longer. It’s unfortunate because the early tops I owned were a superior product."

Works as expected

"Easy to setup and use. Exactyl as expected."

— Andrew M. (5/5)

Great top!

"Nice fit, easy to install and keeps my stuff out of the weather. The snaps could be a little tighter as the forward driver side keeps popping off. I’ll fix it when the weather gets warmer."

— Thomas J. (5/5)

Fits perfectly! Great quality

A little taller or a little lower

"I love the Softopper . It does the job. I do wish I had the option of getting it a little taller/lower so I still had access to use the cameras that are mounted on the 25 Tacoma on the cargo light cluster."

— Todd F. (4/5)

Q&A

Can you get a tinted back window for the tan canopy? Very interested but only in the tan color.
The top will come pre-packaged with a clear rear panel, but you can order an additional dark-tinted one if you'd like.
If I already have a 3rd gen Tacoma softtopper, do you sell a conversion/mod kit so I can use it on my 4th gen?
Hello Andy! We do not have any conversions that would help your 3rd gen Softopper fit the 4th gen truck unfortunately. We had to make some pretty significant modifications to the 4th gen Tacoma Softopper. We are so sorry for the inconvenience.
I just got a softopper for my Tacoma (love it so far). There are 2 flaps at the front, one that goes inside the bed and can be secured from inside the bed. The other goes between the cab and the bed. This flap looks as though it has a “pocket” for a bar or something to go through, though my package didn’t come with anything like that. If there isn’t a missing part or you guys don’t sell a part like that, do you have suggestions for how to keep that flap between the cab and the bed from rising up, as it could potentially let water into the bed?
Hello Kait, welcome to Team Softopper! There is not a bar that goes in the front window flap so you are good there. The best way to secure that front window is using the provided snap screws or hook and loop fastener. This should do a great job of keeping the flap between the bed and cab. However, if you have any issues, please reach out to us at 1-800-810-7227 or [email protected] and we are happy to help you!
Not understanding the windows. Is there a screen or just vinyl? Does that unzip to a screen?
Hello Carol! All of our Softopper truck tops come standard with clear vinyl windows in both the front and back panels. If you're looking for something different, we do offer interchangeable panel options that can be swapped out using the zippers along the sides and the hook-and-loop fastener at the top. These panels are easy to change, but just a heads-up—they’re designed to be used one at a time, not layered together. Let us know if you need help finding the right option for your setup!
I know the 3rd gen Tacoma softopper has some issues with the brake lights on the 4th gen, but was wondering if the 4th gen would work on the 3rd gen..
We do not recommend putting a 4th gen Tacoma Softopper on a 3rd gen Tacoma. We had to make accommodations for the the brake light on the 4th gen Tacoma that would make it not sit right on your 3rd gen. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

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.
