    Go get a tape measure and the go to their website. Also depends on which rack or bed bars. Do some leg work.

    I pack a CVT Mt. Rainier on my Relentless Fab tall bed bars.... there is a slight overhang but it doesn't flex or hurt the tent in that area when someone is in there.

    Measure what roof rack/top rack you want to get, check it's load rating & dimensions and then check the dimensions of the RTTs you're thinking of getting and compare

    Never had to use customer service, I got mine for a local expedition shop and they are awesome to deal with

    YMMV

    Shasta are 56" wide, just under the bed length. Rainiers are 72" so youd have to hang over one end or the other

    So I know this thread is old but do you have any pictures from the side , I'd like to see how much overhang out of the back there is . I have a mt. Rainier exactly like yours , and am tempted by a shortbed on the lot here....

    I no longer have a my Rainer. (Switched to a free spirit) But I would say a good 6” it lined up with the end of bumper but it was pushed really close to the cab.

    How would you compare the two? Would you recommend one over the other?

    I would recommend freespirit over CVT but they no longer make the standard tent only automatics now. But CVT was still an awesome tent!!
