Saw this recently and thought I'd share for you outdoor junkies. No price yet but i'm sure they'll charge an arm and a leg for it.

I have a hard time believing that will fit on top of the T. Italics are from their FAQs

"The Skyloft is larger than any other wedge-style rooftop camper on the market and is intended for vans, full size trucks, some adventure trailers, and some full size SUVs with an appropriate roof load rating (be sure to check your vehicle manual). It is too large for midsize vehicles like the Toyota 4Runner or Subaru Outback."


Agreed it'll cost an arm and a leg and a few other appendages.

"Expect the price and amenities to be more in-line with what you’d find when shopping for a well-made teardrop trailer."

Yea I don't think this will work with T. Its more suited for the R1S.......

They used to have prices listed for these, pre-pandemic they were suggesting $20k and $25k for the two sizes they had planned on offering:

Old article

No reason you couldn't put one on an R1T, just would need to add cab height support over the bed. I'd actually be more worried about the R1S for weight reasons.

Bolding mine. How can it possibly have the amenities of a teardrop? Kitchen? Storage?

I wonder how it would work on a T with two bars on the cabin and one on a booster over the bed?

If I could get my hands on one I would definitely give it a try.
