Cell4soul Report post Posted August 6, 2017 I have a 2017 Tacoma. I went with a Softopper so that I still have easy access to use the full bed, if needed I just fold it down. Stays dry in there. Stuff in the back isn't as protected from theft as a hard shell, but if someone wants to steal your stuff, they are gonna steal your stuff. I never thought I'd like the Softopper, but now that I have it, I am glad I went with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cell4soul Report post Posted August 6, 2017 I can't even hear it inside the cab. I bought mine with a flap located where my rear sliding window is on my truck so I can access the bed through the rear window of the truck. I also got both the mesh and regular rear window. The quality is far better than I expected. If the OP or anyone else is interested in checking it out, I'd be happy to show it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Sparky Report post Posted August 6, 2017 The one I have is the best. My dad sold me his S-10 when he bought his Ranger and took the shell off to put o the Ranger. My dad called me up several weeks later and said "The people around the corner moved out, there is a camper shell that should fit the S-10 I sold you, it says free". I was there in 30 minutes and putting it on my truck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted August 6, 2017 I bought an ARE from camperland for my tacoma. Has been solid Thanks a bunch for all of the opinions, guys. Exactly what I was looking for! I got on the phone with a guy named Doug, from Camperland yesterday afternoon. Really nice guy! Took the time over the phone to walk me through lots of pros-cons for the various models & manufacturers they carry (Leer, Snug, and ARE). Seems that all three brands are pretty comparable, and it might just kind of come down to personal opinion. Looks like a couple of votes for ARE here. Cell4soul, I had never considered that type of cover. Interesting, and cool that you are liking it at this point. Thanks again, everyone! S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
