Reviews

Fishing rig

"I love my soft topper, everything came just as advertised. I purchased the soft topper because I wanted a better way to transport my fly rods fully rigged up and ready to fish. Paired with the dog window diy and a $20 rod carrier strap, I think I found the perfect setup."

My 🌮 loves the Softopper!

"Love it! I wanted a cap but also wanted to be able to have an open bed as needed. This fit the bill. Cheaper than a fiberglass cap, lighter, can quickly be set up or folded down which fiberglass cannot, etc."

— Bill B. (5/5)

Got my softopper for my

"Got my softopper for my birthday present to myself. Was super easy to install. I'm going to use it to keep birddogs safe,secure and warm traveling this fall. So far I love it. Safari mode is perfect to give dogs air when it's hot and I really feel when it's closed up it'll keep dogs nice and toasty in Idaho this fall!"

— Matthew M. (5/5)

Amazing!

"Absolute game changer. I was debating between a hard and softopper. So glad I went in this direction. I love this thing!"

— Patrick R. (5/5)

Tacoma Softopper

"Loving my Softopper so far! Quality product, very easy installation, tight fit but that was expected. Will be putting it to use soon with the upcoming hunting season."

— Joseph C. (5/5)

Reasonably easy to instal, not

"Reasonably easy to instal, not as easy as the instructions said but it's an old dented truck. Worked well and easy to use."

— Karen C. (5/5)

I love the lightweight topper

"I love the lightweight topper for my dogs and travels. Also the fast and easy way to lay it down when needed."

— Kathy K. (5/5)

A Nearly-Perfect Topper

"My new Softopper is a great solution for the varied ways I want to use my Tacoma. It has all the pros as advertised—the only cons are that one of the zippers can get stuck occasionally, and the bed rails keep trying to rotate in even with proper, by-the-book installation. Overall, highly recommend."

— Collin R. (4/5)

All in all, I think

"All in all, I think it’s a pretty good product. Although there are some zipper flaws on the rear hatch. You really have to watch closely to make sure that the material that the zipper goes into is in place if not, your zipper will come off. This happened to me with my first trip out. I was not a happy customer. It is what it is. It’s functional and it works."

— Matt H. (4/5)

Second topper

"Just as great as the first one I purchased for a previous truck. Excellent product and customer service!"

— Jamie T. (5/5)

Q&A

Will this fit a stepside bed Tacoma?
Unfortunately, we have discontinued the model we used to make for your vehicle and do not have any more in stock. We don’t offer custom work; we just sell our pre-made tops. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Is there a way to get air ventilation in the camper
Great question Ty! Yes, there are several ways that you can add ventilation for the Softopper. You can rollup all sides of the Softopper and secure it with sewn-in buckles and straps. We have seen customers roll up everything or just a corner depending on their needs. We also sell a mesh screen attachment for the front and back.
What is the warranty?
Our warranty is one year for all quality and workmanship errors. The zippers are 6 months and the windows have a 3 month warranty.

DESCRIPTION

Built for the 1995-2015 Toyota Tacoma with a 6 ft bed, the Softopper is the original retractable soft truck top. This soft camper shell gives your Tacoma cab-high covered protection, then folds forward toward the cab for full bed access in seconds. It replaces heavy fiberglass and metal camper shells with a lightweight canopy that handles sun, rain, snow, and everyday hauling, giving you cab-high cargo room a flat tonneau cover can't. Compare a soft vs. hard camper shell on weight and everyday access. Non-adhesive weather stripping runs beneath the Softopper bed rails, sealing along both sides of the truck box to help keep out dust, moisture, and road debris. Keep your tools and gear covered and out of sight, then open the bed when a bigger load calls for it. Most models clamp on with no-drill C-clamps and install in about 40 minutes on average, with no permanent modifications, and one person can remove it in seconds. Check your exact year and bed length on the Softopper for the Toyota Tacoma page. Made in North America.

1995-2015 Toyota Tacoma Soft Camper Shell

Key Features:

  • Full bed in seconds – Folds forward toward the cab or lifts off completely for a full open bed, and rolls up into Safari Mode (side panels and rear window up) for airflow and quick access.
  • No-drill clamp-on install – Clamps to your Tacoma's bed rails with no drilling, installs in about 40 minutes on average, and stays light enough for one person to take off in seconds.
  • Corrosion-resistant frame – An anodized aluminum frame with zinc-coated steel fasteners resists rust and stands up to the weather.
  • All-season canopy – Laminated PVC-coated sailcloth, a waterproof vinyl that resists UV, rot, and mildew while it handles sun, rain, snow, and high winds.
  • Clear windows standard – Ships with clear vinyl windows front and rear, secured by commercial-grade #10 YKK zippers, while tinted, mesh, and solid replacement window panels are sold separately and swap in individually after purchase.
  • Color choices – Choose Standard Vinyl in black, tan, or grey, or Premium Black Twill on select models.
  • Drives like it's not there – No significant change in gas mileage and no wind noise at highway speeds.

Installation Instructions

Softopper® ST Truck Installation Sheet
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.
