Tuff Stuff Ranger 65

3.3

A wide, sturdy soft shell for three adults or a couple with a child, at a fair price. The short warranty and 164 lb weight are the trade offs.

Pros
  • A 65 in wide bed, about 10 in wider than most full size soft shells, sleeps three adults
  • An 800 lb load rating covers three adults and their bedding with room to spare
  • Poly cotton canopy breathes, so less condensation on cold nights
Cons
  • At about 164 lb it needs a rack and roof rated for that weight while driving; check both ratings first
  • Only a 1 year warranty
  • No waterproof rating published for the fly
  • Stands 15 in tall when folded, so more wind noise and less garage clearance
