I’ve owned two different soft tops and I’ve come to think the analogy of a pop top camper is 100%. Pop top canvas campers are great but if you use them a lot you’d rather have hard sides. This couldn’t be more true for toppers as well. Insulation, security, less moving parts, longer lasting, more secure etc. all are reasons for hard. Any 1500 truck the fiberglass hard shell canopy can be taken off in 10 minutes w/ one mildly strengthened person. I do it weekly, drill w/ socket to loosen 4 clamps, and I stand inside the truck walk it out halfway, get out, tail gate up, and rest is ez. For $200 you could make a quick pully lift in your carport/garage like my neighbor. I’m just saying if this was $400, maybe, but at $800 yikes.

Yea im not trying to bash on the company that sent that to you, but it does not look good and also anything you do have in the back someone could easily walk up to your truck open the flap and take out everything you have in the bed. This is an item that I think is completely useless and needs to be redesigned or taken off the market.

@@alex_707 jeez, you guys are so sensitive with the appearance of vehicles! It's a truck at the end of the day, yeah it cost a lot of money, but that doesn't mean everything that goes on it has to be equally expensive, like shiny wheels and all that other stuff, and it stays inside because it'll get messed up, or never goes off road because they'll get scratched. All the new modded jeeps around me these days are just like that, more flashy lights and painted polished up pieces than a kids civic back in 2002. Sometimes function has to win over fashion, and this is a perfectly fine option. You can't exactly pick up a snowblower / freezer / roadside find when you need to go home and find someone willing to help you pull your hard top off first.

@duncdunc76
@duncdunc76 3 года назад
Huh? Your comment seems very ignorant! May not be the prettiest thing but it is a very useful and versatile topper imo. May not be the prettiest thing but it Actually offers good water and dust/dirt protection and is super versatile letting you easily still use your open bed when needed. Most places where dust gets in a truck bed with a topper or tonneau of any sort is around the tailgate. No matter what kind of topper or tonneau cover you have. If you dont seal up the tail gate area your going to get dust. And lastly sure it might not be as secure as a hard topper but it is a deterrent from easily stealing stuff out of your truck bed, just like most other truck bed toppers and covers. Breaking a plexiglass window in a hard topper isnt all that difficult for would be theives and as anyone thats had stuff stolen out of their vehicle will tell ya, security is relative.

@@pablomax3045 Sure a $5000 Leer or ARE topper with proper tailgate sealing will keep out the elements better but the Soft Topper offers far more versatility of use and still provides Good protection from the elements. Just go watch real owner reviews. And if ya like the option of having convenient open bed use versatility the Soft Topper beats all other hard tops that I know of. The only valid point that any of these negative comments make is that in their opinion the Soft Topper looks like crap on the Raptor. That however is personal opinion because if/when I see a Raptor with a Soft Topper on it I think to myself well there's a wealthy person that probably actually uses their truck for lots of truck stuff and that's why they put that versatile topper on it.

@@duncdunc76 yup, if they want in they get in one way or another, or do LOTS of ugly damage trying. A friend living right outside a city had to stop driving his work truck home because people kept breaking the locks on the utility body with screwdrivers (successful and unsuccessful) and he couldn't get work done multiple times due to busted locks that were only securing boxes of screws, nails, or welding wire. Another friend had his door edge crowbar'd and lock screwdrivered at on an empty car... Super ugly expensive damage for nothing. Personally I don't lock my stuff, I've had my change stolen, but it's better than dealing with window or door damage. Locking a truck bed cover of any type? It's just security theater for the owner. If you're unlucky enough to get hit, they'll crowbar it just to find nothing, (but hoping to find a generator or expensive tools.)

There is a newer solution called Fas-top that is a tonneau/sof-topper combined. And you can remove the topper completely if you so desire. And, the tonneau is roll up not tri-fold so you lose zero bed space. It’s kinda ugly with the tonneau rolled and topper up but that is only used when needed. Otherwise you just see a tight roll up tonneau.

Wow some of these comments lol. It always amazes me when someone else you're so adamant about how they think something looks. Congratulations you have been blessed with the gift of sight and an opinion. As far as a couple of comments talkin about durability, it looks to me like it's made of the exact same material a lot of soft tops for Jeeps and Suzuki's we're made of for along time. I personally think it's a little expensive, but if you like it and you like the way it looks and you can afford it........ I would probably buy a hardtop that clamps on, and then build a winch system to just lift it off, same as with a Jeep. But it looks like a well-made product and you're repping a Colorado company so, good deal.

I looked at the soft top bc of the convertible aspect but when I price compared a brand new name brand hard top vs soft top, the soft top was about 50% less in $. I went with hardtop. So glad I did. Looks great, can camp with kids in it no fear of weather, ultra secure. Among all other aspects of soft top, being about 50% less than hardtop in price is tough to pick it. Also it doesn’t fit with the Raptor. I appreciate you doing this video so people can have a comparison point.

It has been flawless! (1 time we had heavy icing and it was a bit of a pain to get the ice off the lock ) It costs more but it is made out of diamond plate aluminum and mine has the black line-x on it.

It may not be the best-looking product out there. But, for camping or any long-distance trips, I'm impressed with it's utility & ease of use. On a regular day, it can be removed & stored in the garage until it'sneeded again. Another plus, it's made in the USA.

It sounds like a good idea - the middle road for all the other options like a hard top, an RTT, open bed, or tonneau. Then you install it and realize it doesn't actually help in the rain; your gear still gets wet. Then you fold it down to haul and it gets ruined by the firewood/rocks you're hauling. You're better off with nearly every other option. On, also, they get cold and are nearly impossible to button back up. I sold mine after a year of annoyance.

I have a regular 4x4 F150 and wouldn't be caught dead with that top on mine, much less a Raptor. After watching Roman struggle folding it up, I wish they had showed "one person" taking it off like they claimed.

Wow didnt realize how many Raptor fans and owners think the Raptor is a sports car Lol. Sure a $5000 Leer or ARE topper with proper tailgate sealing probably looks a bit better in most peoples eyes and may keep out the elements better. But the Soft Topper offers far more versatility of use and still provides Good protection from the elements. Just go watch real owner reviews. And if ya like the option of having convenient open bed use versatility, the Soft Topper beats all other hard tops that I know of. The only valid point that any of these negative comments make is that in their opinion the Soft Topper looks like crap on the Raptor. That however is personal opinion because if/when I see a Raptor with a Soft Topper on it I think to myself well there's a wealthy person that probably actually uses their truck for lots of truck stuff and that's why they put that versatile topper on it.

If this is an option for your lifestyle and budget, its not a bad value. I do think its more appropriate for a mid-grade F-150 or Silverado than a Raptor.

Been a fan of TFL for years and honestly can't remember the last time I ever left a comment on a youtube, maybe never but this changes things. That is the cheapest thing I've ever seen done to a truck ever. Like vinyl windows and velcro?? Are you kidding? why put something that looks so cheap ($700 lolololol) on such an expensive truck?

Everyone in the comments talking trash about this product has the worst taste and opinions. It's less expensive than any hard top, lighter than any hard top, protects just as good as any hard top, doesn't require any holes in the vehicle, and can be removed quickly by one person if you need to use your truck to do truck things. It looks cool, weighs about 30 lbs and can be configured a bunch of different ways to air out the back if you have dogs riding back there like I do. Try it and you'll love it.

So the magic of video is this video is the before the after videos of the soft top already installed and used and after videos of it being pulled back for the motorcycle that was transported in other videos already. Magic. Now we need the magical wash job of the soft top on before this video to pop up. lol.
