I get that but it’s not truly meant to be on 100% of the time like a typical camper. If you wanted to run a long cable I guess you could lock it to the d rings in the truck, but a POS thief can still take it if they really want
Concept is still cool for sure. It’s on the same level of price as a leer camper shell depending on model but you can put it away easily if not needed.
I used to have one and I had 4 posts in the ground that were just a little taller than the bedrail. I’d back between them and after I undid the clamps I’d lift and block each side on some 2” blocks I made and slide 2x4s in the gap and set it on the posts. I had a hole in the 2x and the post to pin it in place. I also put hooks on the posts to run straps tying it down.
Kinda neat, but it looks like it would leak like a sieve. There’s zero security features. There’s no rear brake light. There’s no means of interior illumination. There’s (apparently) no cab to bed pass through which is very handy to have. It also looks like that rear flap would literally beat the paint off your tailgate at highway speeds. For $2k, if that’s what they cost, I don’t see the the cost to value ratio penciling - far from it. It seems way over-priced for all the drawbacks, but that’s just me. Like we used to say in the car biz, there’s an ass for every seat (meaning someone will buy it regardless).
It’s on the higher end yes. But it’s the convenient factor for the individual purchasing it compared to a large fiberglass typical camper shell that is always a shell (if that makes sense)

Lemme know what else you want to see!
Nice idea but at almost 2k I’d rather get the leer/arb fiber glass ones
Cool product, but way overpriced. If it was priced around $800-1000, I’m sure people would jump on it.
How does it do at highway type speeds? Any movement or concerns with the tiedowns loosening or anything?
Gonna test that for you all. This was more of an install video and product overview. I plan to have a 2 ish week update video
I have one and it does great at highway speeds. Even with strong side and head winds of 20-25mph.
Checked with local shop. For a top to fit a 1990 Ford Ranger is around $2400.00.
I would check around. But that is a good indication of price.
Cool idea but seems there is absolutely no security with this topper which is a huge important factor for me but awesome idea and cool unique product.

True, but then again Fiberglass toppers run the same risk. Regardless, if a thief wants to get into your truck they’ll find a way.
Cool concept until I saw the price lol

Thanks for the video. Have not seen this . Might be one of my new mods for the 22 Tundra
No worries! Very new product for sure
That thing is nuts !! So cool 🤙🏼
Super rad!!
How did he not mentioned the big air bubble on the side of it lol
Holy crap $1900 for inflatable topper. Just buy a fiberglass one and leave it on the truck if you want a topper. Just my thoughts.
Cause it was designed specifically for the person who doesn't want a fiberglass topper on their truck all the time...
Now this is pretty cool! Should try a night of camping with it.
I plan too eventually! Gotta get ready for a trip to Texas
Fiberglass canopy’s are not easy to remove. And when compared with canvas soft toppers it’s actually a fairly good value.
Yep agreed

Until some thug slits your window and steals your dog
Cool topper
Does it hold well during winter time?
Used the pump for the gains 💪💵 great video
Felt it for sure! Haha
I need one for the tundra 👌
Yesssss would be sick!
I was impressed until I seen the cost of it, Lol. Ridiculous.
How sturdy does it do on the freeway going 70mph?
Solid!
So what about the third brake light some state require?
Get a 3rd brake light that plugs into your 4 flat towing port and mounts in the hitch.
How would it compare to cloth ones I’ve seen on people’s trucks? They look similar to a jeep soft top.
This is a hard PVC surface. Significantly more water resistant than those.
Hey Jon will you be camping in the Taco with this?
I plan to yes.
Is there any security feature, or can anyone open up the windows and the back from the outside?
Wells it’s Velcro like I showed in the video. So not much security. This I meant for traveling and camping not permanent use.
That thing is awesome! Can you drive with it on?
Yep!! Just like a normal camper shell.

Where can buy it?
I put the link in the description top line.
Here you are too.bit.ly/3sVU0wr
Thanks
How would that hold up in Phoenix? I bet it wouldn’t last a week
I'd take that bet saying you are 100% wrong
@@TRDJon you can’t leave a inflated paddle board in the sun. The heat causes the pressure to go up and tear the seams.
What about the 7 Other months when weather isn't hot and you'd actually use this for camping?
@@TRDJon you just validated my first statement.
Omg the price? That's a hard pass for me.
It’s on the higher end yes. But it’s the convenient factor for the individual purchasing it compared to a large fiberglass typical camper shell that is always a shell (if that makes sense)
Seems like it’s priced about double what it should be. With sales tax this would be $2000+
What is the price?
Link is in the description
Sent them an email! No response! Where can I get one?
I have it linked in the description with a discount link.
That’s cool
Super cool for those that want the best of both worlds for a camper and to still use their truck as a truck
Pop
Hey dude I’ll get me one for my little truck 🛻
💰💰💰💰💰💰
Kinda cool but not for $1900. Hard pass
No worries. Thanks for watching!
Agree , The price is nuts but it's a great idea .
@@flench1901 I remember everyone bitching about how expensive Roof top tents were when they first came out. 😅
@@ryanguay43, I remember that also . The price is a no go for sure . I struggle to pay 300 for it for in my book it's not worth but maybe that .
I feel like the Softopper is a much better option. This just looks awful. Plus, the Softopper is about $1,000 cheaper.
I mean if you want it to somewhat cover the inside stuff then sure. This is more camping focused which is why it’s taller too than a soft topper.
Why would I pay almost 2Gs for this when I can get a Softooper for half the price?!👎
$1899 LOL Cool product though
It’s very cool. Cheaper than a lot of the hard shell options out there
Another Toyota TRD owner scared of scratching his paint. Why don’t you save the TRD for people who actually off road and by yourself a pre runner?
For this price I would rather just get a hard topper. This is way over priced.
Yea if you want a heavy topper that’s always on then yes. This is for those that want the best of both worlds plus convenience
So easy a caveman can do it
Very true! Ahaha
Or, here me out, people can just get a 4-Runner.
What about those that need a truck for truck things?

Cuz they have luxury models and they are a great vehicle for all around purpose….of truck things
@@darrinparkin718
Only pick ups I see with things are the ones doing lawn service.
Most are just Pipi complex trucks
Almost 2k
GTFO!!
No thanks... way too expensive and its own straps/tie downs can puncture it when rolled up? It's an overpriced pool toy.
IT'S NOT TALL ENOUGH.
