I like what I see here. The rigid frame and integrated rack, the open access from the sides, it sounds too good to be true. Wild-top.com

Here is the frame work. Will support 200 pounds in motion, 700 sitting still.

I'd like it better if it matched the tumblehome of the Gladiator's top so that it looks more integrated and boosts interior capacity.

What is a tumblehome?

Wow, okay. Learn something new every day.

I’d like that too, I suppose the more angled sides are necessary to support the load on the rack, especially through turns or off-road jostling.

Wonder if anyone has ended up trying the WildTop? If so, what are your thoughts?
I like the idea of the soft topper with the rails for loading gear on top.

Wild Top Customer Service was fantastic in answering my questions. A+ for that. I ended up finding a good deal on a RDL , but I was sure leaning on the Wild Top for a while.

Those RDL design toppers are nice. Just more $ than I want to spend, since I plan on only keeping a cap on as needed.

There just are not a lot of reviews out there about the WildTop, so I am a bit hesitant on giving it a try without some additional insight. Their customer service does seem to be top notch. I sent a message yesterday and already received a reply (they are going to get me a video showing the soft parts installation/removal (I am wondering how long that process takes) and showing the view from the cab through the topper windows).

Though I now have the RDL ( super deal from another forum member who had to up size his truck), I could never have justified the full retail cost. I’m pretty excited to hear the review. I was SO Close to pulling the trigger on one.
