Overland Odyssey Trail Verdict

Best For
• Overlanders or couples who want a massive king-size sleeping area without paying hard-shell prices
• Builds running trucks or larger SUVs with solid racks
• Buyers prioritizing interior space and value over sleek driving profile

Skip If
• You want a lightweight setup — this tent pushes into heavy soft-shell territory
• Fast clamshell deployment or low-profile highway aerodynamics are a priority
• Smaller crossovers or weaker factory rails are part of your build

What We Like
• Huge king-size sleeping platform (~92.5" × 74.8") that feels more like a bedrrom than a tent
• Durable 600D ripstop polyester body with heavy-duty PVC travel cover and aluminum frame
• Built-in LED lighting, mosquito mesh, and strong 770-lb load rating add real practicality
• Solid value positioning — big interior without jumping to premium RTT pricing

Tradeoffs
• Large footprint and fold-out overhang mean slower setup than wedge or clamshell tents
• Bulkier packed height creates more drag compared to slim hard-shell options
• Comfort is good but many owners add mattress toppers for longer trips (common user feedback)

Full Tent Review

Great tent !!!!

So after a year of owning this roof top tent abs much use its a pleasure to say how great this tent is built from the concept to the final product it really is a great tent My only grip is that the ladder isnt long enough I have the tent mounted on my truck which sits on an 8 inch lift on 35 inch tires so for smittybuilt not to automatically come with the ladder extension is dumb Other then that its great Ive used it many places and in different climates and its handled them all

XL Rooftop tent smittybilt

It was very e easy to set up took only two guys to lifted up on the roof it's very roomy and big and sleep for people comfortably totally waterproof come with the boot bag every bowl was there for the window by pouch all the hardware everything came with the tools wrenches

Sturdy and convenient

Great value, sturdy and convenient. Doesn't pack away as easily as I thought but maybe I just need to get used to it and the more I do it the easier it will get.

Awesome!

This is perfect, it fits for my 2 dogs, and chairs for my wife my daughter (17) and myself we play games and when time to sleep... we just climb upstairs like a home, so satisfying.

Great value lots of room!

The tent came promptly and was as expected.. I had to broken buckles that were damaged, I guess during shipping. There is an 800# to call, which I will very soon. Overall it was package with just the right amount of padding and foam. It is of high quality but the install instructions are very limited. The installation is logical if you take the time to do it correctly. The mattress is minimal but effective, but could use an extra inch at minimum. I have to anchor the later to the truck in order to keep the stability of the fold out. it is a great product but there is always room for improvement.
