Folding Softopper camper shell installed on my Maverick

[thev8man]

Just installed a Softopper too just this weekend. We needed the extra bed space for our vacation in Canada. Love the "safari" look and removal/storage capability of this top since I use a Bak X4s rolltop for everyday use and switching them out is quick and easy. Granted it's not secure like the hard cap but I did not like the look or cost compared to the Softopper. For the initial installation, I had to wait for a hot sunny day to warm the cover so it would snap shut. A road test showed no "flapping" or any other issues. Very good customized fix for the Maverick!

Pretty awesome

Dogs aren't good enough for the back seat.

Interesting booyah
The kids ride in the back seat of ours.

Love the 'safari' look!
Any concerns about getting enough A/C to that part of the truck? I know there are vents under the front seats. I wonder if it would be efficient and practical to run some type of tubing to that rear cab window. Dryer vent tubing? Just thinking out loud here.

There is vent flapping system to allow some air in while driving.

Looks great. Waterproof?

Yes, it is water proof to an extent, just like a soft tonneau cover

Yes! A/C to the bed was the only reason I got the rear window and I was thinking similar, insulated ac vent tubing

Must be fun in 100 heat to sit in the back.

It's invigorating!

Personal preference, but I like the look of the softopper on your truck rather than the OP, due to the color of the vehicle. Good choice.

Would that be a 'look up' here or a general internet search?

Ok . . . not exactly how I envisioned it being used for most people, but yeah, I get the idea. I wonder if they make something similar without the "down-the-front" attachment.

Oh, look... they do. This seems like it would be a good solution to keep the dogs cool in the bed and the 8 or 10 footer should reach

Booyah , I believe you're in business.

Would you trust this if you filled the back with boxes? Or would you use a cargo net over the boxes to help keep any sliding off the frame of it?

How functional are the windows? How does it look in the rear view mirror?
