Hey Cassie...Any word on when the folding topper will be available. I ordered my Gladiator this morning and specifically did not order the OEM tonneau because I'd like to get the Bestop topper.
I plan to do the same. The topper will be much more useful to me than the tonneau.

It would also be great if the window against the cab is removable.

Late to the party here but would like a version that drops down at the back in a Humvee esque fashion similar to your Trektop for the Wranglers and in colour Sand or the closest you can get to Gobi.
Why ? Why limit your storage space like that ! If it's just for esthetics, that's one thing, but for practical, not so much . jmo .

@BestopTeam - Cassie do you have an update? Id like to get one of these ASAP!
Just pure speculation, but seeing as they (BesTop) just acquired Softopper in June, and Softopper is coming out with their product in October, that might be what we will see for a Soft Bed Cap

If it can be easily installed/removed it’s a homer in. Would buy it perfectly keep on during football tailgate season. And take off for spring summer

I spoke to Softopper and they are shipping the first of November.

Did they say exactly when Ordering opens up?
Their website says it is available late October. Says PLEASE DO NOT PRE-ORDER :CWL:

Looks like you can select mesh sides, as well as multiple colors (black, grey, tan).

Also has an option for an extended bed tent it looks like for an additional ~$200.

I feel that I'd be a bigger fan for a fixed option. For something like this, if I didn't want it I'd just remove it.

Safe to assume this isn't close since it wasn't on the bestop build at sema?

Unfortunately, no update from SEMA on production timing.

I've checked internally since we got back and a Supertop for Truck (Gladiator in this case) won't be just around the corner. That said, Softopper (one of the Bestop companies) is now taking pre-orders on their soft cover shell and shipping is scheduled to begin November 25th (just a couple of weeks away). If you are looking for an immediate solution this would be the way to go.

If this is the same quality as the Sunrider it might be just what I am looking for.

Is your Sunrider in Black Diamond vinyl or Black Twill? The Softopper is made with PVC sailcloth and you can get it in black, grey, or tan. Given it sailcloth it will most closely match the black diamond sunrider (also PVC coated sailcloth).

We haven't done any of our Supertop for Truck products in black twill (only black diamond) so if you do have a black diamond Sunrider the soft top is going to look a little different regardless.

Hope that helps!

Twill, love the fabric. Very high quality for sure. Will have to wait and see what the finished Softopper looks like when they come out.
