The Base Camp Solo, weighing just 30 lbs and measuring 4'6" when packed, offers a quick setup time of about 45 seconds and a similarly swift teardown in under two minutes. Matt emphasizes its portability and ease of use, making it a perfect fit for his Bronco, either in the back seat or cargo area, and it's also suitable for trucks with a short bed.
Matt is impressed with the tent’s structural integrity and features, which are consistent with the larger Base Camp model, including fast deployment, top-notch insulation, dual large doors for easy access, and multiple windows ensuring ample airflow. The tent's ability to withstand winds up to 30 mph without support and up to 80 mph with guy lines, alongside options for full blackout windows and AC/heater vents, highlights its robustness and comfort in various conditions.
Concluding the video, Matt recommends the Base Camp Solo as an ideal choice for those seeking a reliable, compact tent that doesn't compromise on quality and can fit snugly in smaller vehicles such as Broncos, Jeeps, Tacomas, 4Runners, or short bed pickup trucks, making it a superb option for solo or small family camping.

In this episode, Matt compares the Bronco Raptor with the Wildtrak, its smaller, narrower, but highest-optioned counterpart. Comparing the two Bronco’s performance, suspension, drivetrain, interior luxuries, steering, and resale value, Matt offers his experiences in both owning a Bronco Raptor and how some of its features are too valuable to ignore.
But is it possible to build a Wildtrak or lower trim to the level of performance and luxury of a Bronco Raptor? Matt discusses the challenges of attempting this feat, and explains that no matter how much budget you set aside to build your Bronco, it may never truly be better than the Raptor platform.
Lastly, Matt offers a few questions to ask yourself before buying or building a Bronco, to really find out if modifying a standard Bronco such as a Wildrak, Badlands, or Outer Banks will suit your needs, or if you’ll be better off starting your Bronco adventure behind the wheel of Ford Performance’s most advanced SUV - the Bronco Raptor.
