Hey y’all!
This will likely be the first of a few posts I make as I prepare for my first overland trip.
I purchased a 2011 LR4 that already came with a roof rack, now I’m looking for a rooftop tent. I will be traveling with 3 people so it’s impossible to all sleep in the car, and it also means we can’t use a compact RTT. I’m curious what y’all’s thoughts are on how a CVT MT Denali, a Smittybilt XL or Roam Vagabond XL, all weighing near 200lbs will affect the MPG, Wind Noise and Handling.
My rover is stock other than 255-60R19 tires which fit with no modifications. The comfort of one of these large tents would be valuable to me and my group, but I don’t want our off roading ability or our highway driving to heavily compromised.
