DESCRIPTION

The Softopper is a retractable soft camper shell built for the 2019-2027 Ford Ranger with a 5 ft bed. It's the original retractable soft truck top: it folds forward toward the cab for full bed access in seconds, or lifts off entirely. You get cab-high covered protection a flat tonneau cover can't match, plus a lighter, non-permanent alternative to a heavy fiberglass or metal camper shell. The frame is rust-proof anodized aluminum with zinc-coated steel fasteners. The canopy is 2-ply PVC-coated sailcloth, a waterproof vinyl fabric that resists UV, rot, and mildew for all-season use. Replaceable clear vinyl windows come standard front and rear for full bed visibility, and tinted, mesh, and solid panels are available separately if you want more privacy or airflow. Commercial-grade #10 YKK zippers keep the rear window secure and smooth through years of daily access, and their double pulls let you open or close the rear panel from outside or inside the bed. Non-adhesive weather stripping runs beneath the Softopper bed rails, sealing along both sides of the truck box to keep out dust, moisture, and road debris. Roll the side panels and rear window up into Safari Mode for airflow and quick, dog-friendly bed access. Install is a no-drill custom clamp-on to the Ranger's bed rails, which have no factory mounting points. It takes about 40 minutes on average, removes in seconds by one person, and folds flat for storage with no permanent modifications. Choose Standard Vinyl in black, tan, or grey, or Premium Black Twill and camo options offered on select models. The top is weather-resistant rather than waterproof, and because it's a sewn top, seams can leak in trouble spots, so seam sealer is available for problem areas. For valuables, pair it with an aftermarket lock box to add secured storage while keeping the open, retractable bed. There's no significant change in gas mileage and no wind noise at highway speeds, which makes it easy to live with for camping, working, or sporting events while keeping gear covered and out of sight. Made in North America and refined over roughly 26 years in production, the Softopper is priced at $1,049.99. Measure your bed length before ordering to confirm the 5 ft bed fit.

Key Features:

  • Retractable full-bed access – Folds forward toward the cab in seconds for a full open bed, or lifts off entirely for big loads.
  • No-drill clamp-on install – Custom C-clamps grip the 2019-2027 Ford Ranger's 5 ft bed rails in about 40 minutes, with no drilling and no permanent modifications.
  • Rust-proof aluminum frame – Anodized aluminum paired with zinc-coated steel fasteners resists corrosion.
  • All-season canopy – 2-ply PVC-coated sailcloth, a waterproof vinyl fabric, resists UV, rot, and mildew for weather-resistant, cab-high coverage.
  • #10 YKK double-pull zippers – Commercial-grade zippers keep the rear window secure and smooth, and their double pulls let you open or close the rear panel from outside or inside the bed.
  • Replaceable components – Clear vinyl window panels swap out individually, with tinted, mesh, and solid panels available separately, and frame components are user-replaceable, so your topper lasts instead of getting thrown away.
  • Everyday drivability – No significant change in gas mileage and no wind noise at highway speeds.
  • Made in North America – Built by Softopper, the original retractable soft truck top

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.
