Softtopper now available for 2019 ranger

[glh]

Is it noisy on the road?

I don't find it any noisier than a tonneau cover

I received my Softtopper a week ago. It's cool. This isn't a Overland grocery getter. It's a work truck (grocery getter). The Adrian Steel ladder rack was adapted to fit.

Do you have any pictures of how you adapted the rack to fit? And does the softtopper still fold up no problem? I'd like to make a rack for mine, and have some ideas but I'm not 100% sure yet on how to do it

The rack was for a longer truck ($100 purchase). I CUT the length of the base plates to fit the Ranger bed length, the uprights (circled) to allow the truck hieght not to exceed my garage door opening and the length of the top rack section (circled) to work with the base plate sections. I had to weld on four upright mounting sections after adding more metal (circled) to allow for wider placement. See the attached photos.

The Softtopper should be able to fold back as designed. I'll have it folded during the fair weather days from spring to early winter.

So I'm looking to order one of these before too long...what is everyone doing to keep their softopper clean? Touchless carwash or handwashing, if anything?

power washer at the self car wash seems to work just fine. I just treat it like the rest of the car.

I just run it thru the car wash, touchless

Finally got it installed today. Pretty happy with it!

Also, ignore the Tacoma bed mat

Had ours a couple of weeks and really like it so far.Have had some pretty heavy snowfalls and it handles the snow load no problem

So I’ve had my Softopper for about a week with a two day camping trip thrown in and I really like it so far. I did buy some 2 inch wide industrial Velcro for the bulkhead convection and I’m contemplating using it on the tailgate too. The only complaint I have is the gaps at the front corners. Am I the only one or did I botch the install? If anyone has a solution I’d like to see what you did.

Cool... like a modern day Conestoga Wagon, or Prairie Scooner.

yeah mine has that too. I think it as to do with the weird design of the ranger's bed. hasn't let any water in yet though, even in the car wash!
