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.
