The Softopper Ford Ranger camper shell fits 1983-2027 Rangers and the shared mid-size platforms that run the same beds, so older and newer trucks are both covered. This Ranger soft truck topper does the job of a bolt-on truck cap without the permanent commitment of a hard shell. Its biggest advantage is speed of access: it retracts toward the cab in seconds for a full open bed, then snaps back down for covered, weather-resistant protection. The canopy is a 2-ply PVC-coated sailcloth, a waterproof vinyl that is UV-stabilized and mildew-resistant. It stretches over a lightweight anodized aluminum frame that stays corrosion-resistant, with heavy-duty #10 YKK zippers that keep the rear window secure. 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. It clamps directly to your Ranger's bedrails with no drilling, so one person can install or remove it without making permanent modifications. It is made in North America and backed by a comprehensive warranty. Prefer to compare fitments first? Browse all Softopper truck soft tops to find the right model and bed length.
