I agree with you. I’d love a RTT that I could take off and on in 5 minutes because driving around with one sucks in pretty much every way. The GFC route allows for a camper shell and RTT in one, which appeals a lot more than a standard RTT. But a trailer with a RTT is really where it’s at.
They really are amazing. Maybe I should just buy one of those instead of selling the Runner...pile the family in the runner and put the dog with your cargo in tow .... these things look small but they are so equipped and roomy .... can have it custom made also .... will fit a kitchen and even a shower with a bathroom .... you can load cot beds, sleeping bags, tents etc etc
can also get a roof rack in addition

I know this response was a funny response to a comment, but it really is accurate. The f150 isn’t anywhere near as capable off road as the new Bronco. That’s not what it’s for. The Raptor, that’s different, but where can we get new Raptors for the price of a loaded Bronco?Because an F150 isn't a Bronco....duh!

The bronco won't be enough for that size family. It seems smaller than a Tiguan which we have and we pack the trunk for camping with me, the wife and the dog and it's a decent fit. Rooftop tent and some modularity might help in the bronco for us but a family of 5? No way
Not only that, they are wide too. I love them though.
yeah us rtt owners are posing around parking lots setting up at random houses in town. Lol
Had to use our ground tent for hunting this last year because I switched trucks and didn’t want to rush buying a rack yet. Wife was a little angry because the rtt is warmer especially when every night is 0 degrees. We had the dog and 2 kids with. It was epic with not one complaint.

I looked at the Power Wagon. LOVED IT. It’s just so big and I worry about Ram build quality/reliability. Any issues with yours? How long have you had it?yeah us rtt owners are posing around parking lots setting up at random houses in town. Lol

I'm a little concerned there too, coming from a Tacoma. It seems that the back with folded down seats is not even really long enough for me to sleep for more than a night or two (I'm 6'3''), which is a bit disappointing, but we don't really know yet. I won't put anything on the roof, ever, I want clear blue skies above me.
I'm playing with the idea of getting a tear drop camper or build my own thing, put a RTT on top of that too, but all that is just speculation for now. I've seen posts where the cargo in the 4door is just half a foot deeper than on the 2door, which makes no sense to me, but until we get full measurements...
A hitch mounted cargo shelf is also an option.
But if I can't get 4 people plus the 50lb dog and gear in it, I might have to get something else instead. I hope it doesn't come to that, love the new Bronco!

Can’t say on reliability yet (Only 6,000 miles on it) and that’s my worry too. First dodge and I only know a few people who swear by them and a whole lot who hate them. I just needed the 2 lockers, winch, and I don’t mind solid axel on a longer wheel base. Might have gotten a tremor had they been out when I got this.
if you are set on the bronco, you can make it work with with a trailer. haul all your stuff in there and have a place to stay also with a tent. the bronco will still be tight if you think the 4runner is tight. but if it's something you like and will enjoy, then you'll make it work.
The Bruder EXP-6 is my dream Camper.
