Vehicle Compatibility Notes

The vehicle models listed above represent platforms on which this rooftop tent is commonly used by customers.

It is important to ensure that both your vehicle roof and roof rack dynamic load ratings are sufficient to support the tent.

Tent Specifications

Closed Dimensions: 50.5″ W × 75.25″ L × 12.5″ H

Tent Weight: 213 lb

Sleeping Footprint: 68″ W × 80″ L × 46″ H

Open Dimensions: 75.25″ W × 85″ L × 54″ H

Rear Hatch & Tailgate Clearance

Rear hatch or tailgate clearance depends on the relationship between the vehicle’s usable roof length and the tent’s closed length.

If the tent closely matches or exceeds the usable roof length, rear hatch or tailgate clearance may be limited, and full opening may not be possible.

Common solutions include:

Depending on the vehicle and mounting position, the following solutions may help improve clearance:

  • Repositioning the tent forward on the roof rack
  • Using a full-length platform rack
  • Adding rack risers or spacers
  • Upgrading rear hatch lift struts
  • Using a bed-mounted or external support system (exoskeleton rack), where applicable

Load Capacity & Support Systems

If your vehicle roof or roof rack does not meet the required dynamic load capacity, an external support system (such as an exoskeleton rack) may be required to safely carry the tent.

Important Disclaimer

Always verify specifications with your vehicle and roof rack manufacturer prior to installation.

The only difference between the AX2 and AX3 is size. The AX2 accommodates up to 2 adults, while the AX3 fits up to 3 adults.

Overview

The 23Zero Armadillo AX3 is a hardshell aluminum rooftop tent built for overlanders who want fast deployment, four-season protection, and true sleeping comfort in a refined, aerodynamic design.

At the core of the AX3 is an innovative gas-strut-assisted X-frame, allowing rapid setup and pack-down while delivering 18 inches of interior headroom. The side-opening design supports left or right-side configurations, making it adaptable to a wide range of vehicle setups without compromising airflow or aerodynamics.

Designed to sleep up to three adults, the AX3 offers a spacious sleeping platform that is wider than a queen and nearly the size of a king. A 2-inch open-cell foam mattress paired with an anti-condensation mat provides reliable comfort in all seasons, while ECO13B fabric with Light Suppression Technology (LST) keeps the interior cooler and darker for better sleep.
