What RTT is this?

[FourthJeep]

I saw this as a thumbnail to an article on FB and must know who makes this rooftop tent. It looks like a brilliant idea for a dual folding hard-top that I hadn't seen before. Anybody know what it is?

It's got a Turtleback sticker on the back side, may just be branding since they did the trailer, though.

It's actually an option with the timberline explorer. Trailer is turtleback.

I wonder if you can order just an option?

I believe that’s the Black Series MAX from The Bush Company. They’re manufactured in South Africa but have distributors in the US. The double action roof is an interesting concept.

I don't think it's an actual option, at least if going by the official online Build-and-price tool is any indication -- I couldn't find it. This page on the fordauthority.com site is saying that that trailer starts at a few buck shy of $27k. Hard to imagine that Ford would want to sell that expensive trailer as an option. I find it much more likely that they would want to include it in the action shots, though, which is what we see posted in this thread.

I found the same. When teardrops are backordered bigtime at $15k and such...doesn't seem like a stretch.

I was speaking of the RTT specifically, but after a previous poster posted a link to it and I saw it weighs in at 220lbs I am no longer the least bit interested.

I saw this photo on Turtleback’s website and was shocked. I was like damn, their photography and post skills have gotten quite good. Now I know it’s Fords marketing team, which makes sense based on the quality.

I should be picking up my TB trailer this week. I went with a Bundutec king size RTT. A little pricey at about $4K as well, but at least it has a button that raises the whole tent up in 10 seconds. Plus, you can leave all bedding and pillows inside of it.

Bush Co Black Maxx series, talk to Rex Guardione at MidGuard Adventure equipment outside Houston.

Looks similar to the Freespirit Recreation RTT, I don't remember the model. It's not exactly the same but same layout.
