I like that you all are bringing something new to market but there are some bugs to be worked out for the Ford F150 6.5ft bed product. Bought a soft top as I wanted something that could be removed/reinstalled easier than a ‘heavy’ hard top, given I need to have an open bed several times a year. Thought the weight bearing nature of the Wild Top more favorable than the SoftTopper/BestTop.

Hit several snags assembling/mounting the frame. 1) The four inner reinforcing plates that were originally shipped had the wrong bend/angle to them. Replacements were shipped quickly and were correct. 2) The canvas templates, for drilling holes in the bed rail, were kinda worthless in that the drilling sites overlapped existing rivets and/or plastic clips holding the plastic bed rail protector. Probably better to direct customers to lift the frame up and assess the best place to drill based on existing hardware and the plentiful available holes in the mounting brackets. 3) Super/over snug canvas. What a pain in the butt. Would advise customers to secure the front top bolts so they can tug/pull/curse/tug some more to get the holes in the canvas over the rear bolt holes in the frame. 4) Canvas take two: Velcro strip for front bed rail/canvas does not adhere well to a bumpy spray-in liner. 5) Canvas take three: If the front canvas panel was a bit ‘longer’ it would reach down to the front bed rail better and perhaps alleviate above (4). As it is, I can only get about a 1/4”/6.4mm (rather than the full 3/4-1”) of the panel to secure to the Velcro. The short width, front, side canvas panels seem appropriately long and are snug but fully secure to the entire width of the Velcro strip.

Comments on general use. 1) Kind of annoying having the rear side flaps interfere with closing the tailgate; but I’ve gotten used to raising the tailgate, flipping them out of the way and shoving the gate shut. No biggie. 2) However, the magnets used to secure the side and rear panels, rolled up, simply don’t work and are probably the thing I find most irritating; much more so than everything else combined. I’ve worked all the other issues out but will have to deal with the magnet issue several times a week. Futzing with the straps to hold, having them seem to hold only to fall in my face as I’m moving things in and out of the truck is very irritating. Fortunately I know someone with appropriate sewing skills and equipment that should be able to sew some useful buckles on; but this seems like the biggest fail.

This product is a fantastic idea for those who want a bed rack, and canopy, but it could use some serious refinement. To set the stage, I am a professional aircraft mechanic and have tooling and knowledge to build just about anything. However, the first thing a new owner will notice is the instructions are strictly pictures sketched by kindergarten children who were asked to describe what a bed rack looks like. Secondly the owner will realize the hardware provided is lacking and from the absolute cheapest supplier possible. The fitment is also just as lacking as you would expect if you manage to get that far. It's a shame, this could be a big game changer for off roaders, and overlanders alike.

Overall design is great. Canvas is long enough to cover the edge of the bed and keep out water. Great waterproof material. Do not try to put the canvas on yourself. Grab a partner to help stretch it into place. The frame is very solid and lightweight only issue I had was trying to install the bolts that hold it to the bed of the truck. Short bolts in a very tight spot.

199 dollars for two bars of square stock you could make yourself. Just my two cents

WildTop Soft Truck Cap for 2015-2023 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma 6ft Bed (73.7 in)

Overall i am quite happy with the top, although there is definately room for improvement. Written instructions would be very helpful in several spots. No info at all on installing the n/s ladder racks. The front window attachment is difficult at best to install and prone to coming loose. One side support rod lifts itself to the inside of the frame and leaves a gap for water to enter.

While the build quality seems rugged (I assembled installed and then removed as I am not ready to use), the instructions are lacking. Some text and dimensions would be beneficial. It seems like the rear uprights, installed per the vague graphic and semi-pre-punched canvas templates, are to too far inboard of the tailgate, which does not allow the rear flap to properly overlay the top of the tailgate. Therefore, I may need to drill additional holes in my truck when I reinstall in order to remedy this situation - Not happy about that.

Brackets would not align and problems with self seating bolts..part D
I didn’t receive the top bracket screws

Received, unpacked, but as I’m in Wisconsin it’s been too cold to assemble. That is, until this week-it finally climbed above 50°F. So assemble I did, right up to the bottom bracing-one part did not fit with the other or rather the 4 inner lower braces do not align with their outer counterparts. I have sent a photo along with a description of the problem and am awaiting an answer/solution. I’ll update as I go…

Trash product for the cost. Mounting hardware isn’t large enough. Strips out easily. Zero directions come with the product. This company is a complete rip off for what you pay. If I can keep one person from buying one of these trash bins I’ll be happy.

Instructions were not very good. The instructions showed pictures of mounting hardware that I did not receive. The instructions showed the base frame having pre drilled holes that weren’t there. My package came with an open hardware bag which probably accounts for the missing nuts and bolts. After figuring out how to assemble it and clamping it on my truck with clamps I got from Home Depot, I’m happy with the cap after two days of use.

Top-notch, durable product. A soft top with load bearing capabilities is a great idea.

product arived with wrong tarp color, no part list no instructions what so ever.

Everything arrived as described. I have not had a chance to install yet, but assembly seems pretty straightforward.

Well made! Pretty easy to install. I bought the green and love the look!

Looked around at other brands but none were load rated like the wild top is. From order to my door in 2 weeks from Australia is not to shabby. Super easy to assemble if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. I assembled mine alone and it took about 4 hours and that was taking my time. No complaints so far. It is a very unique and well designed system and I have received many questions and compliments on the top around town.

I am very pleased with the product, and the customer service. I was missing the mounting brackets, I emailed the company and they had them to me within a week. The product is very durable and sturdily built. It’s also awesome having so much versatility when it comes to access to your bed, the roof rack or ladder racks as they call them are awesome allowing me to store a kayak and my rhino racks with fishing rods on top. I would say 10/10 would buy again in a heartbeat. The two issues I had with the product were the instructions are very vague they did very little on terms of explaining orientation, the second issue is the canvas cover is very tight so doing this by yourself is almost impossible definitely need a friend. Finally the product is amazing it has given me my bed space back, it’s quality built and the customer service is amazing.

The wild top is great and was one of the simplest installs I have done.

everything went together quite well. missing a mounting bolt with expanding nut. hopefully you will send me one. seems like a quality top.

You guys think of everything! Those directions are spot on, even a tame ape (me) can confidently put this together. The cutout templates for where to drill and the little packet of rustproofing for the holes in my bed were icing on the cake. Drilling holes in my truck is the kind of thing I want to get right the first time. So far all I've done is go for a quick jaunt around town with the top on, but I'm impressed with the quality of parts. In particular the canvas is much heftier than I expected and the zippers on it look apocalypse proof.

Installation instructions aren't great but it is a great product.

I am waiting for the Spring to install it CAN"T WAIT

Really like it ,instructions are horrible

I love the functionality and strength of the product and the customer support has been fantastic. I give it four stars because the instructions are not great, given the price point. But, I made a YouTube video to help others avoid frustration.
