Ford Base Camp Ranger
I don't even like camping. But I have to say, I think the tent on top of the Base Camp Ranger looks pretty awesome! Check out all the pics we got at the LA Auto Show!

I regard vehicle-specific tents as a bit gimmicky, but it's clear that Ford is trying to sell to the recreational market with the Ranger, and with its size, should do very well. I suppose a tent that high will keep you out of flood waters and maybe keep you above snakes and bears, but a tent on the ground with cots works just fine for comfort, and you don't have to fold up the tent if you need to run into town for a 6 pack of beer...
I am a bicyclist and have many friends who are cyclists, kayakers, skiers, and campers. The Ranger should serve them well, and make more sense as a daily commuter than an F150. Good luck to Ford, George

There’s a new recreational activity called overlanding. It’s basically: drive, camp, drive, camp, drive.... etc. It makes perfect sense to have a vehicle mounted tent in that scenario.. I have one and enjoyed it on an extended trip out west. It’s definitely not designed for camp setup and then a run to the market. Never was the intent.
It’s not like Ford is selling a fully kitted overland vehicle. This is a SEMA demonstration model.
