Full Tent Review
Purchased this for a 2022 Ford Ranger Tremor. Tent is mounted on a rack made for Tacomas that was fitted to the Ranger. I also purchased the annex room. I used this configuration as a "mobile lab", when I completed the testing phase of a master's thesis on nutrition and long distance hiking. The annex was large enough to fit hikers and their gear out of the weather, while I measured body comp, vitals and drew blood samples. The tent allowed me to park and stay anywhere; my fav is the parking lot of Crackle Barrel restaurants. I get dozens of compliments on this set up; but the best is from my wife who said the mattress was better than our home's mattress. Good going Tuff Stuff!
Shopped around for a long time before I decided to go with this tent. Best bang for the buck. A lot of features for what you pay. Install would have been easy if my bed rack bars ran perpendicular to the tent rails. I had to do a little modification to my rack to get it mounted. No big deal.
I have been using this tent for over a year and it has stood up well under various weather conditions, ranging from hot Mojave desert to freezing temperatures in Sierra Mountains. This is roomy enough for two adults with extra clothing inside the tent. It also allows storing 2 down sleeping bags and pillows when closed. While this is a solid tent with relatively low price in its class, there are a few faults. First of all, it’s bulky and only opens from the passenger side. I wish it could open from the driver side as the tailgate of my Jeep opens from this side and I much prefer operating everything from one side. I know this is a personal preference, but it would have been nice if there were options. Second of all, the holes for inserting the window rods do not line up. I didn’t check this when I first received the tent but noticed this irregularity a few months later when I set up the window awnings. Not a big deal, but Tuff Stuff should have done a better QC job. Overall I am happy with the tent and would recommend it.
IT is easy to setup, easy to take down and fits my Gladiator very well. I wanted a smaller tent than my previous one but this sleeps 2 comfortably so no complaints although I am replacing the mattress, a little stiff for my taste. Zippers and fabric seem to be very good quality. The only 2 things I noticed is it looks like there is like 1 inch size bubbles on one edge of the tent towards the top, I haven't reached out to Tuff Stuff but it may be by design but it does not affect the operation of the tent and I also noticed that the center of the top sags a little when closed but not a big deal. Everything functions perfectly, It may be just because it has been stupid hot in Idaho this summer.
Very well made and I feel like I got the value for what I paid. Definitely worth it. I am very pleased that I went with the Alpha 4. Easy set-up, easy take-down and the mattress is surprisingly comfortable for only being 3" thick. You will not be disappointed.
