It's supposed to include installation, as a Dealer Installed Option. The price difference was about $700 for my build, and I installed myself, so I wasted the money. My dealer gave me zero information about the Bestop install, and didn't offer to install it when I picked up, or put me in touch with a local dealership (I live 12 hours away from where I bought) that would install.

Bestop was recently offering about a $250 "extras" pack with the purchase of a Trektop from their website, even at a much lower cost. That makes the difference in price even worse.

Does anyone know why the Best Top Trek Top soft top is $1,000 more on the Ford website vs. Best Top? 4-door twill. Am I missing something? Thank you

I think, perhaps, an advantage of ordering from Bestop instead of Ford is that, if there is a problem with the top you get, the odds are you would get much more attention and satisfaction from Bestop than Ford. With Ford, you are ONE, TINY fish in a LARGE ocean (and it seems like they act like it?)

I would check on this - I think it’s dealer specific.

I assumed that this was the case and I got it quoted through a local ford dealership but they were going to charge an installation fee on top of this. The dealership I bought my truck from would not charge an additional fee

Like everyone that’s going to reply, buy through Bestop. It’s less expensive, better service, and they can link you with a local installer for a flat $250 fee (so less $$$ even if you pay for it to be installed)

Major wins all around to buying through Bestop

Also, I’m told that 10% is the best sale Bestop ever offers. That’s not a sale imo but it’s a thing that they’re currently doing for Black Friday. If you’re interested, now would be a good time to buy!
