Thinking of fas-top tonneau & soft topper combo

[stemplar]

Has anyone installed the fas-top tonneau and soft topper combo on their Ranger?

If so, any issues? Can you share photos?

I’m also curious if there might be Black Friday sales or coupons around (their checkout process has a field for coupons). I just ordered a 2025 lariat so I’m not in a huge rush.

I really like their product, and I didn’t have any problem with installation other than that it is not completely waterproof (not a problem for me) and the bed rail clamp at the back (tailgate end) was not tight to the truck even when all the way tightened. I had to put a little spacer in between the bedrail and the clamp to get it tight (this is up under the rail and invisible). I think water comes in through the ranger’s bed rails because I see it a little wet on the bed side walls. I’d buy this again, I use both options quite a bit depending on what I’m doing. Looks great in tonneau mode. In topper mode there are some side wrinkles and also the rear window is a little tricky to open, but it’s not a deal breaker for me at all and also the more you use it, the better you get at all the steps.

I like mine too. Put it on the 2024 XLT. Make sure you lay out all of the parts and read the instructions before starting the install. Some of the nuts were not preloaded in the channels, but there were plenty of spare ones. Installation works best with two people. Took about 2 hours, including unpacking. Overall I am extremely satisfied.

Your raptor and fas-top both look fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I've watched a few videos of fas-top installation and it looks like maybe the wrinkles in the topper can be adjusted out? Sorry if you've done the adjustments and still have the wrinkles (in other words, sorry if the adjustments are old news to you), but as an example here's one video of theirs for adjusting:

I was looking at the Fas-Top Traveler setup for my 24 XLT but ended up going with the Bestop SuperTop 2 instead. I didn't like that the Fas-Top always kept the tonneau attached and resting against the paint on the cab or the topper tucked under the tonneau taking up precious space on our little 5' beds.

Slight word of warning about the Bestop though, despite what their website says and despite me having a length conversation with their technical support, the current version listed on their website is for the 19-23 5G trucks and doesn't perfectly fit our 24+ 6G trucks (but it does "fit"). They apparently are working on a 24+ specific version but it's probably a spring '25 release.

Interesting, I wonder what this changes with Softopper, their sister company.

I was thinking to pick up a Softopper soon in preparation for winter trips.

I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on one of these along with their bed rack ( https://fas-top.com/fas-top-jaybar-bed-rack/ ).

Do these come with Fas-Top with shims for the stake pockets to support the rails?

The 6th gen Ranger has it's own part number but I'm not sure if that's just a different size canvas.

Edit - I finally got confirmation from the manufacturer that this does NOT come with spacers.
