The Boy Scouts turn three years old this March. Pick-up camper truck maker to launch in 2020 with Olympic for full size truckthe Yoho for midsizers, and Kenai for heavy rigs. The outfit doesn’t celebrate much of being on The Terrible Threes, so maybe we can take a look new Tuktut camper a belated gift to itself. Like its cousins, this species is named after a pristine natural site, Tuktut Nogait National Park in Canada. Unlike its brethren, this one is made for the smallest bed vans, 5-foot-long random counting patterns like Ford Ranger And Maverick, jeep fighter, Toyota TacomaAnd chevrolet Colorado/GMC . Gorge.
The advantage is the aluminum and fiberglass construction and the small scale that delivers a small weight of 634 dry pounds. Maximum outside width is 72.25 inches, outside width of bed is 41.5 inches, outside height is 72.25 inches, inside floor length is 59.6 inches. Tuktut also keeps it really neat by being pretty naked. Scout calls it “Nothing but the Core Essentials,” meaning no wiring, no plumbing, no storage tanks, and no the battery built in. Buyers receive 22-inch doors, insulated glass windows with screens and shades, ratchet straps, and a standard bed mattress measuring 69.6 inches by 47.5 inches. The flyer says it can accommodate two people, but we advise them not to be afraid to snuggle up like eels. Optional Portaledge bed extensions turn the mattress into a stout horseshoe that provides about 80 inches of vertical space for you to roll over.
Scout’s idea was that buyers could turn a blank canvas into any type of hardshell home they wanted. As we are seeing more and more outdoor manufacturers do, such as Polaris with Xpedition UTV, Scout cooperates with Goose Gear to create gear packs for outdoor audiences ranging from minimalists to DIYers.
The thing is, the Tuktut starts at $16,500, and the Goose Gear’s power module costs $995, not including the cost of the portable powerhouse the power module is designed to house. Other sets like the Goose Gear step stopper are priced at $1,395; the full drawer module costs $2,395. It would be super easy to raise the price of a Tuktut up to the $24,000 starting price of a much larger Olympic Scout that comes with a 175 watt solar panel, power station, propane tank, gear lockers teeth, smoke alarms, LED lights and room for four.
However, if you have a compact truck, then you’re boxed, if you want a sturdy winter camper that won’t eat up the full load capacity of the truck or GVWR and leave the truck. your truck. drag free hitchhiking. Scout is taking orders now, deposit $500 to receive order and first deliveries scheduled for Q3 of this year.
