    Welcome! Now that in a sense is my ideal setup! Tow a trailer that I can put the 3wheelers on and have the RTT sit above them for 2 reasons, It'll mount high enough to get full use out of my annex and I can still take the truck out and have fun without having to pack up the RTT

    Yup my thoughts exactly. Future plans will be to put the tent on a purpose built expedition trailer, with on-board hot water, a fridge, and sitting closer to the ride height of my TRD. Of course I'll build on an axle with the same 6 lug pattern as the truck. That's down the road aways. Right now the old lawn mower trailer will suffice.

    Yeah.
    I have one on my '12, the rack and tent are probably only 150 lbs. I didn't notice any sag with just the tent. But, loaded with camping gear, hitch bike rack with bikes, cooler full of beer, etc., it's probably getting up to about 500-600 lbs. I added RideRite airbags.

    Agreed with Rich, all depend how much stuffs you have loaded. I think MPG would be more an issue.

    Love the Ayer. I can get it on the truck without help. Build quality is excellent. The size is cozy, yet comfortable.

    @Mademan925 does/did. Kind of a far away picture, but I know he was rocking the kayaks on the roof rack, sort of stacked on the RTT. Hit him up...

    I've got a bed rack made by Bashfab. It's basically relentless bars welded together on a L shaped plate. I can take pics if you want

    Saw a CVT in Yellowstone today.....either it was broken or the people just don't know how the tents works. The travel cover was just thrown over the top and they had a dozen or so ratchet straps holding it down. :facepalm:

    Also saw a Tepui on a Heep. Been seeing at least one other RTT on every trip this summer!
