So what Ford needs to do is make the back AND front seats able to lay flat, giving you ~7.5' interior length on the 2 door, and plenty more on the 4 door door. 2028?
and of course level the cargo area...2029 now?
I'm definitely a fan of this style tent as well. I just wish we had a truck tailgate that could increase the vehicle real-estate utilize the cargo area as a second bed. You give the bronco proper fold flat floor and a tailgate, and you'd have a nice little sleeping area, especially when combined with this tent. Another option is to use a rear bench like the FSB that folds forward to take up very little space and leave a flat floor behind it.
is the ~100 (105?)lb limit really that strict? I would hope you can go slightly over that without any problems. As long as you yourself are not excessively overweight lolThis is a pretty sweet set-up in that it's only 24" wide when closed (83" long), leaving room on the roof rack. Although it's already coming in at 108 pounds.
I think the moving load limit is more about rollover risk than anything else.
Ooooh, that's a good point. I didn't even think of that.
What brand was this one? Nevermind, found it as i was digging through the rest of them on the Thule page. Thank you. Oh and the obvious link you had in the beginning. Duh.This is a pretty sweet set-up in that it's only 24" wide when closed (83" long), leaving room on the roof rack. Although it's already coming in at 108 pounds.
I recently emailed GFC requesting a mounting diagram with key dimensions — also considering the overhang when mounting on a 2-door Bronco — and this is what they sent me (both text and PDF attachment)...I am also ordering 2dr Bronco and looking in to RTTs. Two limitations are dynamic load weight (110lbs) with OEM roof rails and length on a 2dr. I think the 110lb restriction will limit over 80 percent of the options out there. I am very interested in a company named GFC (Go Fast Camping) that is making an 80lb RTT named Super Light. It is, however, 90 inches long.
I would also love to know the length of the 2dr rooftop and whether this tent will fit. I emailed the company GFC and they were not sure if it would fit or not.
I really recommend this tent. Not RTT. It’s cheap, easy to set up, light, and compact. I use it for backpacking, but plan on making it my full time Bronco tent and keep it with me at all times. Takes me less than 5 minutes to setup.
It’s interesting that both the Thule and Yakima RTT’s Ford will sell you weigh more than the rack’s rating?
Haha.....It’s what we call....a gimmick!
