Soft top down or off

[DaytonOhioGladiator]

Who here takes off the soft top completely? I’m not sold on the look of the soft top lowered on the back of the cab.
Is it a pain to remove? Does the top stow in the bed nicely?

I'm with you... I have to imagine the soft top in the folded position is loud and acts like a sail. Especially on the highway. Too bad it didn't down like a rolled bed cover.

I have the soft top. I didnt like the look of the soft top closed or open, but love the functionality of being able to put the top on in a few minutes if I’m out in a thunderstorm. I haven’t driven over 60mph with top down yet, but the top seemed fine and my mpg was around 20. I have not taken it fully off yet but taking it off requires only 4 bolts (sorry I can’t find the video to link). It appears it would fit in the bed just fine. We are supposed to have a drier week next week so I hope to take it all the way off. Until I have a tonneau cover, I do not plan on storing it in the bed.

Although I've only had mine two days and about 100 miles I have no complaints with the soft top pull back. No nose or sailing. I drive a Jeep so I don't even look at MPG.

Very easy to just push it back with one person and if it starts raining it is also quick and easy to put it back on with one person.

We don't have a soft top but it is also not a pain to remove. The process is different from prior soft top removals but no more difficult; actually easier. I agree on the look item you mentioned, but I will also say that we are going to purchase a soft top so that my wife and kids can enjoy the experience without needing me there to help. After a lift and 37's, there's no way my 5'4" wife is removing the hardtop by herself. At least not without a hoist.

I’ve noticed it’s almost the same amount of noise either way. But I run down the highway at 75 with mine back and the window out, it does fine. I was worried at first but it hasn’t flew off yet.
