as a big guy myself it comforting you got into the tent, i run into a lot of issue with my size and nothing actually supporting me. keep up the great work.
I really like to have my RTT mounted no higher that the back of the cab. This way I only take a .5 mpg hit as opposed to having it over the cab which typically is a 2 to 3 mpg hit. It also makes it much more off roadable for clearance.
My Prius has a payload of 900lbs, just like this truck. Maybe I should try overlanding with it. In the previous millennium we called it camping but that's not as trendy as overlanding.
Uppercut - the tight turns would be great to test turning radius. If you decide to keep them, would be good to know the required turning radius needed to make certain turns. Long vs short wheelbase turn testing would be good! This is not something often covered in YT reviews.
You can probably sleep in the back of a Prius with a bit of prep. I loved sleeping in the back of my station wagon. I don't go hunting so I have no need to go deep in the woods. But a funny thing I saw this summer I went "camping" for a week with my dad and nephew (more like babysitting) and he bought a week RV site at a luxury RV resort. A truck pulled in with all this unused off road gear mounted to it (the rotopac gas cans, shovels, traction boards, etc...) that had never seen a spec of dirt and the people slept in their roof tent. The sites were about $100 a night 😂 I didn't pay, I just went to see my dad and nephew.
with a single cab Tacoma with a long bed (not sure if they exist anymore), there would be alot more pay load in the bed, plus the ability to sleep way more comfortable than in a short bed
Are you going to drop some trees in the swampy area for extra traction under the "future water and muck" to avoid having every truck just get stuck? And yeah, you should clear some more trees so you guys don't have to pay to fix too many loaner trucks.
@chriszaiser I've noticed more than just the shocks stiffening on my truck. There is steering tightening along with more throttle response. Sure it's not my vette. However, I am curious how much of a difference there is in handling before I make my own purchase of a roof nest tent or just not make that purchase.

Bought the same truck back in February. Still loving it. Lots of room for a big guy

I love how happy your job makes you. You genuinely enjoy what you do. Good video
Can you do this same video with a midsized colorado, ranger or taco?
As others have mentioned, you can do a rooftop tent setup where the tent is cab high. On my wife’s Gladiator, that is how we set up the rooftop tent.

@@volvo09 Only one question, where you baby sitting dad or the nephew? 🤔😆
@Chris-ut6eq hahaha, both!
One overflowed grey water tank after I warned him about household style water usage on a borrowed RV :)
@@volvo09 There are always little things to be grateful for. Had the black water tank overflowed.......
The extra weight likely helped you in this case because that added helped more in balancing out the weight.

Great off road review. This tent loos very solid. Greetings
Excellent episode as always!!! 😁

Part of me really likes the truck with the diesel; however, the other part of me does not with all of the def and emissions that they add to them.
hi truck king im a big guy myself as well what are the brands of the rooftop tent also the rack?
Awesome video 👍
How would the roof nest tent feel while driving in sport mode auto select drive?
You just said "sport" mode on an almost 2-ton brick. That made me laugh 😂😅 but I'm assuming you're thinking the shock rate would stiffen.

It's a truck if you like the idea of the tent you should get it. I've always loved the idea. Honestly, you can barely feel it. @whiskyone

This comment added soo much to the discussion, thank you! 😋
the word Overlanding needs to die, I cringe every time I hear it. Call it what it is.. Camping!
These roof tents really impress the people in the Whole Foods parking lot.
