This is interesting. Inflatable bed topper.

That's interesting, guess they took paddle board technology and repurposed it. No mid size short bed and price is kind of crazy.

Isn't too much cheaper than a "real" topper...

I'm sure there are applications where this would be handy but it's not for me.

Yeah I could see it being handy for if you regularly use your truck to haul large or oversized items, but then also want to take your truck camping on the weekends.

I prefer my hard topper, but could see the appeal of that flexibility.

Fill it with helium and do some wicked burnouts guy

Would come in handy in situations like these, as an "emergency floatation device"....

Innovative - I can see people being interested in something like this. It’s a bit spendy but that kind of versatility is worth the price of admission for some folks. ?

forget the topper what about the Air deck? https://getflated.com/products/air-deck?variant=40058551206056

talk about a space saving way to easily carry sheets of plywwod in the ranger. combined with an electric inflator, and the bed outlet it would be quick to setup

If you filled it with helium it might just lift the rear end off road surface...you wouldn't go anywhere (unless 4 wheel drive...fronts would still be on ground)....

Cool. Too expensive

Oh, that would increase the load capacity!
I could haul 2 cubic yards of dirt!

Interesting concept and can see some benefits of the inflatable topper. Easy setup, light-weight and compact when stored. Quite a bit more than soft toppers.
Wonder how it would hold up on forest roads or highway debris.

Yeah, from having an inflatable paddle board, which I think they based this on, I would question the longevity of it. Especially in cold environments.

My Fas-Top is a more versatile, and cheaper option for me.

I don't even see enough advantage here to go this route over a SofTopper or BesTop.

Interesting... I'd pass. I have an inflatable SUP. That thing is a pain in the ass to inflate using the manual pump.
