If you love taking your N Charlotte Toyota Tacoma on camping excursions or other overlanding adventures, you should consider purchasing a Tacoma rooftop tent. If you don’t know much about this awesome vehicle accessory, we’re here to share all the details on what they are, how to choose the best tent for your vehicle, and more!
Why You Should Consider a Roof Tent for Tacoma Camping
Here are some of the perks of purchasing and using a Tacoma rooftop tent:
A Tacoma rooftop tent is way more portable than a camper or RV. You don’t have to tow anything, so your truck can still take on rough terrain with ease.
These tents are super easy to assemble. No poles, no lines, the tent pops right up and is ready to go in 3-6 minutes!
You’re guaranteed to be comfortable in a Tacoma rooftop tent. They typically come with a blow-up mattress or built-in padding to ensure peaceful sleep.
Also, you get the benefit of being high off the ground. Not only will this eliminate the risk of mud and bugs getting into your tent, but it will also offer you some great views.
Roof tents are durable and reliable. They are made to hold up against the elements, and they’re meant to last for years.
Choosing the Right Tacoma Rooftop Tent for Your N Charlotte Vehicle
Here are some of the factors to consider when choosing your roof tent:
What size do you need? This will depend on how many people need to sleep in the tent and the measurements of your vehicle.
Is the tent compatible with your roof rack? Determine how much weight your roof rack (or bed rack) can carry as well as how much weight your truck itself can carry. You can always ask your N Charlotte auto tech if you have questions.
Do you need additional living space? If you do, there are additional rooms, awnings, and more that you can add to the tent later.
Do you want a hardshell or a softshell? Softshell tents have a fabric exterior that’s lighter and a bit more affordable. Hardshell tents pop up vertically and offer more protection and installation than softshell options.
What are the shipping costs? Sometimes, roof tents can have steep shipping costs due to their weight. If this is the case, we recommend seeing what local options are available for pickup to avoid those fees.
