I’ll go over pricing when I do a more official overview. It’s also vehicle specific. I provided a link in the description to their website where you can see pricing for your truck. It’s $15,400 for the F150

I see why it costs so much now, the rooftop metal panels that are usually made of a type of canvas add a ton of cost.

Fan is a nice touch that's about it ($500.00 addon). Only 3 lights for $400.00 additional to overall cost? I guess insects aren't a concern because I see no screens. $15,400 to mount on a F150 with no addons? Was this given to you for a test? Please tell us you weren't ignorant enough to buy this outright. Talk about "expensive fridge slide" is laughable after looking at the price tag on this. Imagine being in this tin can when it's a hot summer night. Imagine sleeping next to someone slapping at skeeters while drowning in your own sweat. "I'll just use a portable AC", well enjoy spending even more for a higher output power unit and then fiddling around with hoses etc. 1 night of ac maybe unless you're by shore power. Solar isn't going to keep up with an ac unit that's for sure. For the same price you can buy a 2024 bumper pull trailer or a truck bed camper with a toilet, sink, tv, kitchen, ac unit, solid walls etc. Hey kid, please tell us how it feels when you miss latching, or a latch fails on one of those side panels and it slaps you upside your head. That would be good content. Buyer's remorse incoming. "Cabinet" is a joke for additional $280.00. Many other websites offer such better solutions than that mod, hilarious waste of money again. From what I can tell this set up cost $16,580? I hope install was free, if not, how much more did you spend so we can laugh harder at your poor spending habits. Man, those white lights are going to draw bugs in quick! Could have fabricated something better with the $400 spent on that mod. Bedding will have to be stored in truck cab or in the dirty ass truck bed during wet weather. So, when it rains or morning dew, the sides fold inward to drain all the water inside of the truck bed and unit and all over whatever you store in the cargo box. Hope you like mold smells. Genius engineering! "OH WELL I WILL JUST WIPE IT OFF", who wants to do that each time you leave camp? As much as you wipe, you will never get all of it. So many points of possible mechanical failure. Just wait till you or your wife busts their ass on the slick decked system top. Splash a bit of water on the decked system or have some mud on your shoes/ flipply flops and see how slick that surface becomes! Deadly morning dew. Hope the small child bounces, because a fall from the sleeping section or "totally sick window" is going to leave a mark. "Every child is different", just another hazard with the now larger openings. Hope no one is gassy during the camping trip, this tin can looks like it can hold a fart in for quite a while! Congratulations on getting your 'dream' set up. Interested to see when this dream becomes a nightmare. Good luck keeping up with the Jones's. P.S. You should have invested in the lightning rod for only $1500.00 more.🤣

I actually just pulled the tent off for a new project. They all mount the exact same. There’s rails on the bottom of the tent that you insert bolts into, then you have clamps that fit around whatever crossbar/rack you are mounting it to.

That’s the way a budget-beginner review should be done. Authentic demonstrations snd results. I think there’s 2 schools of thought on product quality, and both can stand on their own : A) buy quality gear so you don’t have to decipher if your own learning curve is the cause of mediocre results, or B) don’t waste money on gear that can perform far beyond your own skills. I have gone both ways at different times. I think it comes down to longevity of your application. If you want to weld every weekend for the rest of your life, maybe better to buy upper end gear. Anyway, I like the content 👍🏽 Thanks for the video and links.

Great looking truck! I absolutely love that color. I just started looking into f-150s myself, I came to the same conclusion that you did. I was looking into the stats, fuel mileage around 20, available 36 gallon tank, talk about a long range! I also like that these are available with the rear locker on pretty much any trim level, and I looked at the ratios, and these actually have a much better crawl ratio than the Toyotas. If I recall correctly, the 4Runner and the Tacoma are about 33:1, with the 373 gearing. The F-150 is 46: 1. I currently have a 4Runner, and I was considering building it, but truth is I really don't enjoy driving it long distances, and even stock I can barely hit 20 MPG. I thought I was going to make the 4Runner into more of a trail rig, but that's not really what I want to do, so I think the full size pickup would suit those needs better.
