2021 Lariat FX4, SnugTop Rebel topper

I'm pretty sure the capacity is 175 lbs., but I'm not 100% on that.

Interesting, I can't quite tell which model that is, but seems like an older one (you can tell by it having two handles for opening the rear window). The Rebel (which is the model I got) has just one handle to open the rear window, and that handle is connected to the remote lock/unlock. $2,800...

No, I don't have plans to carry anything heavier than a canoe on the racks. That said, I'd be concerned about the Sportsman package providing enough support for a RTT. I believe the package is rated to support 500 pounds. I imagine that once you add the rack, the tent, and two adults, you'd be...

The technology is actually almost there. Kia's new EV6 will have a range of 300 miles, but will be able to charge from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes, which is crazy to think about. Plus, you can get it with 577 horsepower :shock:

West Virginia is near the top of my list for states I want to explore—you're definitely getting me in the mood for a road trip soon

Here I am in the PNW scratching my head at the idea of my state being called "barren" Within a ~3-hour drive are 5 volcanoes, 64 mountain ranges, a massive rainforest, deep river canyons, rivers, lakes, open ocean, islands, Puget Sound, fruit orchards, rolling wheat fields, mesas, the list...

I was quoted $2k plus tax for the base version, installed. That came with paint matching, usb ports, small 12v light, and dropping front sliding window. I spent an additional $1,200 on upgrades (remote locking door, sliding windoors on both sides, LED strip lighting, and Yakima roof rack).

I couldn't find many photos online of Rangers with the SnugTop Rebel topper, so sharing a few here for anyone who might be interested.

I like the setup you've got now, nice to have both an awning as well as walls to have a spot to hangout during stormy weather. Any particular reason why you're wanting to upgrade to the poleless batwing system instead?

When you put it that way, I totally sound like a douchebag, don't I? TBH, I was in the process of researching options for installing a RTT on my truck but then discovered how pricey they were which is why I started the thread. They seem fun and can look pretty cool, plus I bet it is nice to just...

Sorry if I read too much into your first comment, but when you said "Not everyone camps only at campgrounds", it sounded like you were turning your nose up at those folks who only camp at campgrounds, and also that anyone who doesn't have a RTT doesn't understand what it's like to not camp at a...

That's certainly one approach to camping in these situations, though I would disagree with the assessment that a RTT enables you to camp in less comfortable settings. I've been perfectly comfortable in rocky areas, on ice and snow, surrounded by animals, in the jungles of Indonesia during a...

I think I understand the appeal of these tiny trailers even less than roof top tents. Seems like a big impediment to off road exploring, plus a sizable ding on your mpg. What scenarios do you see something like one of these being more practical or better than a tent and some basic camp kitchen gear?

I guess I could see the value of having a solid platform, and not being in flood danger. I've set up my tent in probably hundreds of locations at this point, and never struggled to find a flat-ish spot, and haven't ever been flooded—though maybe folks in other regions have to consider that more...

Yeah, I think there is a time and place for everything. My wife and I honeymooned in Alaska, renting a small-ish RV for a couple weeks. We spent our days ice climbing, kayaking, fishing, and hiking, and then evenings hiding inside the RV to escape the mosquitos and to watch The Office and cook...

Is there something I'm not understanding here? I do a TON of camping, all over the place, but I just can't wrap my head around spending a few grand for a rack and tent system when I can just bust out my trusty $200 REI tent and set that up in a few minutes. It seems the pros are: Quick to set...

I'm interested as well, if I'm not too late.

And man, what a difference they make! I was literally laughing at how much better they are over the stock rear shocks with the FX4 package. It's like night and day, and it only took me like half an hour to install. I can't imagine a better bang for your buck than upgrading the rear suspension...

Looking to swap out the stock shocks on my 2021 FX4 and can't figure out which will be best for my needs. Figure around 90% on-road driving, 10% gravel/mud/snow forest roads. Sometimes towing a boat. Looking to reduce the floatiness / bounciness. Any thoughts?
