How to Measure What is this?
You bought your truck because your lifestyle demands it. Your Softopper plays just as hard as you and your Tacoma does. From overlanding to hauling camping gear, Tacomas are the unofficial truck of the outdoor adventurer. Fold your Softopper down to haul motos and mountain bikes to camp, then put it up to sleep under or protect your gear from the rain.
It’s not all play either. A working truck does anything and everything the job asks it to do. Hauling wood to the jobsite and keeping your tools out of sight, the Softopper is as flexible as you need it to be.
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
Colorado made 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.

Purchased a gray softopper for my 87 toyo 4runner and converted it for the first time in 2010. This top has been so versatile and I have had many compliments on this vehicle.My yota is gray with factory chrome wheels. Recently an ice storm ripped a side window. My insurance will now buy me a new black top as I am running blackout wheels. Hope I get another 11 years on this one. A well built product. I run mine with the side curtains rolled up during the summer months. A great off road look. Thanks softopper. 02/2021.

Awesome product. We travel a lot in environments ranging from hot (100F+) and dry, to cold (-20F) and snowy, and our Softopper does awesome in all conditions. Keeps almost all moisture out in the rain/snow--the material is totally waterproof and water only gets in at the corners where the topper meets the truck bed. We've slept in the back many times under the Softopper and when sitting still, no moisture gets in at all. Very durable at highway speeds, even in Montana with 80mph speed limits. Handles big snow loads when parked outside without any worry. Difficult to put up in the cold, as the material can't stretch as much, but can be done. Fuel economy does suffer at higher speeds due to wind resistance, but that's a small price to pay for the convenience. Only take a couple minutues to put up and take down. I strongly recommend getting the cover for when it's down. Very importantly, the service and support from Softopper is awesome.

We were hesitant at first to install a cover on the new Tundra Crewmax, but agreed on the Softopper. We figured the Softopper would be easy to install, use, remove, and store with very little effort compared to a hard top, based on all of the reviews and user online videos. Fortunately, all of the reviews were correct and accurate! We are more than happy with the purchase. We ended up buying the gray for our cement gray truck (see photo).A few things to keep in mind...— The installation and Softopper hardware DO NOT interfere with our Decked drawer system. They actually compliment each other nicely. This is important because we had trouble finding other people who had both a Softopper and Decked drawer system and crossed our fingers that it would work.— With the Softopper, the 3rd rear brake light (above the rear window) is mostly blocked. It’s not a big deal for us personally, but something worth mentioning if safety is your thing. I bring it up because it then obviously blocks the tailgate light, so it’s pretty dark inside the Softopper at night. We threw an LED light back there to solve that.Overall, we’re very happy with the Softopper.

Just bought the “Softopper” for an out of state trip anticipating rain in order to keep our luggage out of the weather. Used the install video on the website which worked out great ! It poured cats n dogs the entire trip and minimal water got inside the bed of my truck, keeping in mind , I didnt have time to do the seam seal which is recommended. I received lots of compliments on how nice it looks and I am completely satisfied with it. I folded it back down after my trip and it is as easy as the installation video shows even considering I have a jacked up 4 X 4 ..

Had an issue with the incorrect bed clamps being sent for my tacoma (first gen) and called to let them know. They took care of it right away and sent it faster then they said they would. High quality product and excellent customer service.

I recently purchased a soft topper for my 2006 Toyota Tacoma and absolutely love it! The instructions were very well thought out, the pictures were clear, to the point, and very easy to follow. I ordered my topper on Nov. 10th and it was delivered on the 12th across the State of Colorado! Incredible! I looked into buying a hard shell topper also but being 62 yo and single, I decided that the light weight of the soft topper would make it much easier to remove if needed. Thanks for making such an awesome product!Tom

If you’re trying to decide between Softopper and “the other guys”, go with Softopper. Customer service is at a level for other auto accessory companies to aspire to. Premium product and premium service.

We purchased a Softopper top about three years ago, and have found it to to be very easy to install, remove, and use as a safari top for our 2005 Jeep Wrangler TJ. Excellent product and customer service.Given the strap configuration, i though the top might really rattle when the windows were off, but it does not bang about all that much even when on the highway at 70mph. Happily surprised by that.The rear, driver's side corner has a little bit of slop in the canvas, but I think that is due to aftermarket speakers -- no sound bar going across the top -- which means that there is a bit of extra demand on the center strap.The price was right and the product meets expectations. would purchase from here again

I previously had a hard topper on my last truck, but wanted something more versatile for my new rig. I was so happy to find out that Softopper was located just up in Boulder-always great to shop locally. And I love that they make their toppers here in CO. Ordering was very easy and their customer service was very helpful as I didn’t leave myself quite enough time and was concerned about it arriving in time for my camping trip.It arrived last week and I finally got a chance to install it today. The installation video is very helpful and I was able to install it in less than an hour. It looks great and I love that it’s convertible, removable and most of all, looks super cool. So yes, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Now for some fun adventures!!

I ordered one for my 2018 Silverado 2500 Crew Cab and it was mistakenly sent to the billing address in a different state. They overnighted another one directly to me instead of making me wait for the first one to be rerouted. BIG time saver. I installed it in under 2 hours after I received it and the fit and finish is great. Big Thanks to Softopper!

Just installed on a 2020 Tundra, easy install, have had several hard rains--stayed bone dry inside the bed(I did seam seal before install). The directions were great=---not written by a Chinese, very detailed and easy to comprehend. I have now owned both Besttop and Softtopper. The Soft Topper wins hands down. Easier install, better fit and finish, super easy to fold down or remove, made in USA.

Ordered on Tuesday, arrived on Wednesday installed that same day and Thursday took off to California from Colorado and right back to Colorado on Monday. Thru mountains, desert and high winds the Softopper didn’t budge! No extra noise, it didn’t move around overall a great great product.

I bought a Topper for my 2019 Ram Crew Cab Long Bed and love it! I had a fiberglass top on my previous truck and found it to be limiting on hauling certain items. I’ve had many fiberglass tops over the years and have had several Jeeps so I understood what this top could offer. I installed it and I’m extremely happy with the fit and finish of the topper plus the ease of use. This will allow me to have much more flexibility with the bed of my truck as well as be a good place to haul my dogs and keep them safe as well as out of the elements. This is just the beginning of my softopper use but I’m sure it will have so much more impact on the way I haul things. I absolutely love this top!

I have had several Best Tops over the years with an old Jeep as well as for a couple truck. This is the first time I have purchased a top from Softopper and it is a great product. I felt that it was easier to install and the truck top lies a lot flatter went folded down. The top is great, but the service was excellent. Amy was super helpful in taking care of me on the phone, and I thank her for her help. Great product and great people, a combination that makes me want to buy more toppers, too bad I don't own a lot more trucks.

Love my softopper! Great for camping in the back of my truck. I can button it all down and be dry, but within a minute have all the sides up and getting airflow.I was recently on a trail and got stuck in a couple feet of snow. I had to get my shovel and traction boards out of the back over and over - it was awesome to just roll up the sides and take off the back so I could just reach in instead of having to open the back each time. It was also the first time I drove 70+ with the sides and back open.... zero issue. The topper is the best thing I've done to my truck!

Haven't had the Softopper long (2 months), but the fabric has held up well. The back window cracked on a very cold morning which I was slightly disappointed about. Customer service was all over it sending me out a new back panel in 2 days. Sadly, that new panel got stolen. Knowing that was not Softopper's fault, I ordered another one. But, Softopper went above and beyond, sending me a brand new panel once again! This time I got it delivered to my work address to prevent theft, but the fact they did this without a second thought was great. They also gave me some tips to fold the fabric and not the window itself to prevent cracking in the future. I would recommend Softopper 10/10 times.

Excellent customer. I needed to exchange a back window and the one I ordered was the wrong size. They got me the correct one and even helped to install it.

I was looking for canopies since I bought my truck. After a couple years with a rollup tonneau, I really wanted more dry storage. Softopper really nailed it with a system that is easy to install, doesn't move around or make noise on the highway, is easy to access, and is easy to remove.Have a dry bed for winter camping is killer. I highly recommend the Softopper.

My husband bought me one for my '12 Tundra XSPX 3 years ago. First we were very impressed by the quality. Super easy to set up... way more convenient and easy to handle than a hardtop. Folds away with ease whenever! People ask me all the time if they can take photos, we always highly reccomend.

The people who work here are amazing. I got my topper 4 years ago and had to replace the back window yesterday. They remembered who I was and had the window ready in a matter of minutes and even replaced a snap for me. Highly recommend the product and the company

I tow a 5th Wheel with my f250 pickup. I had a tonneau cover and it led to nothing but frustration. No room in my truck bed. I started researching folding truck caps. After 3 months I decided to purchase the Softopper. I am so pleased with my choice. The Softopper fit perfect. Installation was easy and took about an hour. The top is well made. All the seams are tight. All the parts fit. The material of the top is durable and strong. I have so much room in my bed, I'm making a camping system. I live on a military base and have been asked about the top many times. It's a great look for my truck. I am looking forward to many years of use from this top. Very Happy Customer

An essential for Rebel and Raptor owners. Softopper has converted my truck into a multi function vehicle. The company has world class customer service. If you appreciate quality this is the ultimate product. I can convert my truck into a modern day camper if needed.

I bought a Softopper just before Thanksgiving due to the weather forecast for my 04 ' RAM 1500, they were able to arrange overnight service since I was leaving next day. Great product. It too me about 2 hrs. to put it on, and I had to get a neighbor to help me pull it into place/snaps due to the cold weather. Really happy with it.

Well after saving up I finally got one of these for my 1st gen 4Runner. First off I’m very happy that they make one for my model and a lot of other models that don’t have a lot of other options for softops.The had some questions up front and emailed them and got a very quick response. The top also came extremely quick as well.To add to that, the top itself is very well designed and made. Install went pretty well with only one hard part being the bending of the cab rail. I was able to get that to work by cheating it as much as I could to the unbolted side and using a large c-clamp or two (put felt pads on them and be careful not to damage the rail or your interior or exterior plastic trim pieces.) After that the rest was easy.The top position options are great and just what I was after. Sometimes I sort of wish the sides zipped off instead of just rolling up but it would be more of a pain to remove them and put them on anyway if they did. Otherwise excellent quality and service and even a decent instruction manual. I do wish it were slightly cheaper but I’m not complaining too much because of the quality. Happy customer overall.

Purchased A Gray Softopper with storage bag for my 2015 Ram Crewcab with 6.5' bed. A rep from Softoper emailed and texted me to be sure I measured correctly, and to let me know it had shipped, and to give me a tracking number. Amazing Communication. It arrived Next day as promised. Easy directions, and I installed it, BY MYSELF, in 45 minutes. Perfect, CUSTOM FIT. I would recommend this company, and would give the Topper 5 Stars in initial quality, and see no reason why it will not last. VERY REFRESHING to deal with PROFESSIONALS on an internet purchase...

I did a lot of research before purchasing a top for my 2016 F150. I called a few times with questions, each time customer service was extremely helpful. Quality is great, easy installation, and very versatile. By far one of the best automotive aftermarket purchases I have ever made.

Great quality and price! I had one on my 86 4Runner, and always got comments on it. Super easy to fold the top down or just unzip the sides and go safari style. Will definitely buy from these guys again.

I love our Softtopper! We've had one on our 89 4Runner for 8 years now and it looks amazing still. We a lot of hard off roading, blazing through tight brush on a regular basis and it still looks new. This really is the best thing I've done for my 4Runner. There is nothing like rolling up the sides and back and enjoying the weather, but if the weather turns, it takes about 1 minute to roll it down and and be completely protected from the elements. We live in Arizona and there is ZERO fading - we couldn't be happier and look forward to many more years of enjoyment with our Softtopper!!

Bought one for a 2015 Tundra CrewMax. Fantastic product! I can put it on or take it off by myself in less than 10 minutes. Folds up and stores in the storage bag easily on the wall of my garage. Customer service has been great, and I love that it’s USA made.

What a pleasure it is to deal with a business that understands what customer service is all about. I purchase a used Softopper for my truck. I had zippers replaced at the location in Boulder. They fixed my topper as close to new as possible, helped put it back on and charged a very reasonable price I am very pleased with the product and company. I would highly recommend Softopper.

What a wonderful company to deal with! I placed my order on Friday evening (after their business hours) and my softopper was shipped and delivered that Tuesday.The softopper is very easy for one person to install. It's even easier with two people. The material is quite obviously high quality and well-manufactured.So far, the softopper is performing well! There is no road noise and everything in my truck's bed is well-protected. I intend to convert my bed into a camper, and I have complete faith that my softopper will meet the demands I intend to place on it. What a fantastic product and company! A+
