Overview
The Tuff Stuff® Ranger 65-Inch is a Soft Shell rooftop tent designed for campers who want more interior space without sacrificing reliability or simplicity. With an additional 10 inches added to the original Ranger footprint, this upgraded model delivers noticeably more room for couples, small families, or anyone who values extra sleeping space.
The interior sleeping area is large enough to comfortably accommodate 2–3 people, including up to three full-sized adults. A thick foam mattress comes pre-installed, and all bedding can remain stored inside the tent when closed—freeing up valuable cargo space inside your vehicle.
Built with durable materials, weather protection, and a practical softshell design, the Ranger 65 is ideal for multi-day trips, overlanding, and family adventures.

Installation
The Ranger 65 Rooftop Tent is designed for easy setup and universal mounting. Installation typically takes 1–2 hours with two people. Detailed instructions and all required hardware are included.
Installation Steps:
-
All necessary tools, mounting hardware, and spikes are included for quick installation on most roof racks.
-
The annex room easily zips on after the tent is installed.
-
The ideal mounting height is 76″–78″ from the ground to ensure proper ladder extension and annex fit.
-
Tent mounts slide within the lower mounting rail, accommodating crossbars up to 52″ apart (recommended spacing: ≤45″).
-
The included brackets fit crossbars up to 3.25″ wide. Wider bars may require custom brackets.
Installation Notes:
-
Your vehicle must have crossbars rated to hold at least 150 lbs and spaced a minimum of 32.5″ apart.
-
Pickup trucks: We recommend using a truck bed rack rather than mounting directly on the roof.
-
If fabricating your own mounting rails, wait until your tent arrives to confirm exact measurements.
Will this tent fit my vehicle?
Yes. Roof-top tents are universal and not vehicle-specific.
What matters most is your roof rack system — make sure it can support both the weight of the tent and the occupants inside.
Your crossbars should be no wider than 3.25” for the included brackets to fit correctly.
If your crossbars exceed that width, you’ll need custom brackets or adapters.
Always check your vehicle manual for roof-load capacity before installation.
Can I run my vehicle and tent through a car wash?
Only if you’re filming an epic fail for social media.
Otherwise, no — it will destroy your tent faster than a category-5 hurricane.
What is the tent made from?
Constructed from high-quality poly-cotton ripstop fabric, engineered for durability, waterproofing, and wind resistance.
Why did everything get wet inside if the tent is waterproof?
Condensation, not leaks.
When warm air inside meets cold air outside, moisture forms on walls and poles.
We recommend adding an anti-condensation mat to reduce this effect and improve airflow.
Keep the vents open — moisture hates ventilation.
Can I wash the mattress cover?
Yes, the mattress cover is fully removable and washable.
Why don’t you use memory-foam mattresses?
Because memory foam and cold weather don’t mix.
When it’s cold, memory foam hardens and traps moisture — leading to mildew.
Our included high-density foam mattress stays warm, dry, and comfortable in all conditions.
Can the tent open from either side of my vehicle?
Yes. You can choose to open it from the right or left side depending on your vehicle setup.
Is all installation hardware included?
Absolutely. Every tent comes with mounting brackets, tools, and hardware.
Just make sure your roof rack or bed rack is installed and rated to handle the weight.
How many people can this tent sleep?
Comfortably 2–3 adults, or two adults with one child.
For extra sleeping space, add the optional annex room.
Is the tent easy to open and close?
Yes — once you’ve practiced a few times.
Setup takes around 10–15 minutes, most of which is inserting the window rods for ventilation.
Can it handle strong wind and heavy rain?
Absolutely.
The Ranger 65 comes with a durable rainfly and has been tested in high winds and storms.
When secured correctly, it’s built to keep you safe and dry.
Do I need to clean the tent after every trip?
Not necessarily — the driving cover keeps it protected during travel.
But we recommend opening it up occasionally to air it out and brush off debris before storage.
Do I need to air it out after camping?
Yes — always.
Moisture from body heat, breath, or even spills can cause mildew if left closed.
Air it out after every trip to keep your tent fresh and ready for the next adventure.
