How Do Bed Racks Work With a Softopper?

A Softopper-compatible bed rack mounts to the truck bed and is designed to provide clearance around the canvas topper, allowing you to carry equipment above the bed without giving up the enclosed storage and flexibility of your Softopper.

Unlike a conventional truck bed rack that may interfere with the topper, KB Voodoo CXR bed racks are designed specifically for use with Softopper and Bestop canvas truck toppers. The rack and topper work together as a system, giving you an elevated platform for rooftop tents, kayaks, cargo and other gear while maintaining access to the truck bed.

Softopper Bed Rack FAQs

What is the difference between the CXR Fortress and CXR Utility Max Softopper bed racks?

The CXR Fortress and CXR Utility Max are both full-height aluminum bed racks designed specifically for use with Softopper and Bestop canvas truck toppers. The CXR Fortress is ideal for rooftop tents, bikes, cargo and overland gear, while the Utility Max is designed with additional utility in mind for carrying kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, ladders, lumber and other long cargo. Both systems are modular, American made and available in multiple configurations.

Can I use a rooftop tent with a Softopper bed rack?

Yes. KB Voodoo CXR Softopper-compatible bed racks provide a strong platform for mounting a rooftop tent above your Softopper or Bestop canvas truck topper. The rack supports the rooftop tent independently of the canvas topper, allowing you to keep the enclosed storage and versatility of your Softopper while adding an elevated sleeping platform.

Can I carry kayaks, canoes or paddleboards over a Softopper?

Yes. A full-height Softopper-compatible bed rack provides the height needed to carry kayaks, canoes and paddleboards above the truck bed and cab. The CXR Utility Max is especially well suited for watersports and long cargo, providing a modular aluminum platform for transporting boats and boards while keeping your Softopper installed underneath.

What rack height do I need for my Softopper?

The correct rack height depends on your truck, Softopper configuration and how you want to use the topper with the rack installed. KB Voodoo offers multiple CXR rack heights and configurations to provide the necessary clearance around the canvas topper. Use our CXR Rack Height Selection Guidance to determine the best height for your truck and Softopper setup.

What trucks are compatible with KB Voodoo Softopper bed racks?

KB Voodoo Softopper-compatible bed racks are available for many popular midsize and full-size pickup trucks, including the Toyota Tacoma and Tundra, Ford F-150, Ranger and Raptor, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ram trucks, Jeep Gladiator, Nissan Frontier and Nissan Titan.

Fitment varies by truck model, model year, bed length and rack configuration. Select your specific truck when choosing a CXR Fortress or CXR Utility Max Softopper bed rack to confirm the correct configuration for your vehicle.

Can I still access or fold my Softopper with a bed rack installed?

Yes. A Softopper can be folded with a KB Voodoo bed rack installed, but it cannot be folded in the traditional way because the canopy increases in height as it folds and can interfere with the bottom of the rack.

Instead, the Softopper can be folded using a simple alternate procedure that allows the frame and canvas assembly to drop down before folding forward. See our step-by-step guide, “Can You Fold a Softopper Under a Bed Rack?” for complete instructions and photos.
