Since I'm updating this thread; The RTT has been awesome on the 4runner too. I swapped in a 2nd battery, portable fridge, solar panels, etc... I can now camp comfortable with zero amenities (sewer, water, electricity, etc) for at least 4-5 days.

The Rhino bars are leaps and bounds nicer and stronger than the OEM ones. I honestly haven't used them much, but they have worked well. Especially nicer to haul kayaks on the roof. Zero issues with holding a RTT though.

Yeah, see post #11 for info. I have Rhino bars on it for the RTT.

Yup! Well, I will in 2 days. I'm keeping both Suburbans and adding a 4runner TRD ORP to the fleet. I've quickly learned that some of the best places to camp are places my Suburbans can't go.

Not as often as I'd like. I run a fabrication business and stay stupid-busy throughout the summer. Hoping to get out again in August and September. Having the 4runner will hopefully help encourage me to make more time for camping trips.

I'm considering it for next year. I plan to use the setup for a while to see what else I may wish to add to it.

Thanks! I probably should have mentioned more about the trailer contents. On this trip, it hauled 3 kayaks, a Blackstone tailgater grille, a propane tank, cornhole set, enough firewood for 2 nights, a 50L tote with camp gear, two 50L coolers, a 10x10 canopy, and a bunch of smaller things...

So far so good! Camped along Lake Superior in the middle of nowhere on the north edge of the U.P. of Michigan last weekend. Nighttime temps got down to 42* one night. I stayed warm in the tent and slept like a baby. No problems hauling all of out gear and 3 kayaks in the trailer. We did 10...

The trailer was about 1200 lbs. With all of my add-ons and the tent, I'd estimate 1550-1600 lbs. The axle is good to 3500 lbs. Thanks! I'm not sure what the ramp's capacity is. Probably 1000-1200 lbs or so. Definitely heavy duty enough for a quad, motorcycle, etc...

Thanks! Yeah, built it myself. I'm an "extreme DIY" kind of guy, so if I own it and it's made of steel, there's a 50% chance it's homemade. :-) Yeah, this 6x12 trailer has ample room to grow into on camping trips. Should be fun! I use it for general 'around the house' type stuff. Hauling...

Well, I got the trailer set up this weekend. I fabbed up this apparatus that bolts to the trailer and holds the tent. Zero blockage of the rearview mirror and plenty of storage under the tent. Using the trailer for the tent is nice because I can disconnect the vehicle and leave camp set-up...

I called a couple manufacturers and here's what I learned. Roof racks have two ratings, but only 1 is ever advertised. There is a dynamic load racing and a static load rating. The dynamic rating, which is what we see advertised, is the amount of weight that the roof rack can support while the...

I've checked GOBI. They don't offering any Chevy products at all. Same with Front Runner and Prinsu. Rhino and Yakima only offer the low capacity cross bar kits, similar to OE.

Here's what doesn't make sense. I can find countless images online of RTT's mounted to OE-like 150# capacity crossbars. How are they getting away with this? Something I don't know about the ratings system? Here's a YouTube video of a professional installer using the Yakima Syline system...

I'm wanting to put my Condor XL on the rood of my 2013 Suburban. I need some kind of roof rack system that will support the weight. All of the bar systems that I find for it seem to only be rated for 150-220 lbs. I don't know if that's a static or dynamic rating, but I need something that can...

Which did you end up with? These were two of my top-3 recently and I ended up with the Condor XL. As other's mentioned, these are extremely comparable and I think most would be happy wither either.
