WildTop Soft Truck Caps

WildTop soft truck caps that fold down when you don't need them

WildTop builds soft truck caps, a collapsible fabric topper that turns an open bed into an enclosed, waterproof space without the weight or cost of a hard shell. This collection covers the wildtop Soft Truck Caps line plus a Mesh Window Upgrade (pack of 2) accessory that swaps the solid side panels for bug mesh. The frame stays mounted and the fabric folds down flat against the cab when you want the bed open again.

A soft cap sits between a tonneau cover and a hard cap. A tonneau lies flat across the bed rails and keeps cargo at bed height. A hard cap, like the ones A.R.E. builds, is a rigid permanent shell that adds real weight and cost. A WildTop gives you the full standing-room enclosure of a cap but folds away in minutes and costs far less, so you get weather protection and a covered bed without committing to a fixed shell.

This is the right call if you camp out of your truck, run overland trips, haul gear that needs cover, or want a removable enclosure you can drop when the bed has to stay open. It is not the pick if you want a rigid locking shell that never moves or a low flat profile that keeps cargo hidden at rail height. If that is you, a hard cap or a tonneau cover is the better road. Free shipping is included, and you can call or text us to confirm fitment before you buy.

Choosing the right WildTop setup

  • Camping and overlanding out of the bedThe WildTop Soft Truck Caps line gives you a standing, weather-protected enclosure that folds away when you reach the trailhead.
  • Hauling gear that needs cover, not a permanent shellThe soft cap encloses tall loads and folds flat when you need an open bed, so you are not locked into a fixed hard shell.
  • Hot-weather camping and airflowAdd the Mesh Window Upgrade (pack of 2) to swap solid side panels for bug mesh and keep air moving while you sleep.
  • You want a low, flat, locked profileA soft cap is the wrong tool here. A tonneau cover or hard cap keeps cargo hidden at bed height and locks down. Call or text and we will point you to the right one.
  • Budget without giving up enclosureThe WildTop Soft Truck Caps line covers your bed for far less than a rigid hard cap and weighs a fraction as much.

Frequently asked questions

What is a WildTop and how is it different from a hard cap?
A wildtop is a soft truck cap, a collapsible fabric topper mounted on a frame that encloses your bed and folds flat when you want the bed open. A hard cap, like the ones A.R.E. builds, is a rigid permanent shell that adds significant weight and cost. The WildTop gives you a similar standing enclosure for far less money and lets you drop it in minutes, which a hard cap cannot do.
Is the WildTop soft cap actually waterproof?
Yes. The WildTop Soft Truck Caps line uses a waterproof fabric cap that keeps rain and weather off your gear inside the enclosed bed. It protects your cargo without the weight of a hard shell, though it does not lock down the way a rigid cap or tonneau cover does, so plan accordingly if theft protection is your top concern.
Who should not buy a WildTop?
If you want a rigid, locking shell that stays put permanently, or a low flat profile that hides cargo at bed-rail height, a soft cap is the wrong tool. Those buyers are better served by a hard cap or a tonneau cover. The WildTop is built for people who value a foldable, removable enclosure over a fixed install.
What does the Mesh Window Upgrade do?
The Mesh Window Upgrade (pack of 2) replaces the solid side panels on your WildTop cap with bug-mesh panels. This adds airflow and ventilation, which is what you want for camping or sleeping in the bed during warm weather while keeping insects out. It is an accessory for the soft cap, not a standalone product.
How do I know a WildTop will fit my truck?
Fit depends on your make, model, and bed length, so confirm before you order. Call or text us with your truck details and we will verify the correct WildTop fitment before you buy, which is our fitment check. Every order ships free, and the cap is backed by the manufacturer warranty.
