I have an Xterra and got the Chicari rooftop tent. Was easy to install, did it myself at home. Tent fittef perfectly, minimal and not oversized. The design is thoughtful and convenient, has an in built mattress which is comfortable to sleep on. Overall I really like it and it's my best buy this year. Service by the team was great too, very helpful and friendly. If you're considering getting one, this is your sign and it's a YES.

Product Description
The Chicari Roof Top Tent is designed for adventurers across the UAE and wider Middle East who demand a lightweight, low-profile solution for desert camping and overlanding. Whether you’re escaping the city for a quick overnight trip or gearing up for a full off-road journey across Liwa, Rub Al Khali, or Wahiba Sands, this 2-person roof top tent delivers speed, simplicity, and comfort. Ideally suited for vehicles with non-metal roofs such as the Ford Bronco, where one can have a roof top tent without heavy and expensive roof racks. This tent installs with just 2 or 3 roof bars on most Ford Bronco vehicles.
FAQ
The Ultimate Ford Bronco Roof Top Tent Guide for Desert Warriors in the UAE & Oman
Picture this: you’re cruising through the dramatic landscapes of Oman’s Wahiba Sands or navigating the rugged terrain of the UAE’s Hajar Mountains in your trusty Ford Bronco. The sun’s setting, painting the desert in shades of amber and gold, and you’re thinking, “Man, I wish I could just camp right here.” Well, guess what? With a Ford Bronco roof top tent, you absolutely can.
I’ve been exploring the Middle East’s incredible off-road destinations for years, and let me tell you – there’s nothing quite like the freedom of having your bedroom mounted right on top of your Ford Bronco. Whether you’re planning a weekend escape to Jebel Jais or a multi-day adventure through Oman’s stunning wadis, a roof top tent transforms your Ford Bronco from a simple vehicle into a complete adventure basecamp.
But here’s the thing – choosing the right roof top tent for Ford Bronco isn’t as straightforward as you might think. Trust me, I learned this the hard way during my first overlanding trip when I ended up with a tent that was about as compatible with my Ford Bronco as a camel in a swimming pool.
Why Your Ford Bronco Deserves a Roof Top Tent
Why Your Ford Bronco Deserves a Roof Top Tent
Let’s be honest – the Ford Bronco practically invented the concept of adventure-ready vehicles. From its military origins in the 1940s to today’s luxurious yet rugged Ford Bronco, this machine was built for exploration. And when you add a Ford Bronco tent to the equation? You’ve got yourself the ultimate adventure setup.
The beauty of Ford Bronco camping tent setups lies in their simplicity and versatility. You can set up camp literally anywhere your Ford Bronco can take you – and let’s face it, that’s pretty much everywhere. No more searching for level ground or worrying about rocks and thorns puncturing your ground tent. You’re elevated, comfortable, and ready for whatever the desert throws at you.

Can You Actually Put a Roof Top Tent on a Ford Bronco?
This is probably the most common question I get, and the answer is… well, it’s complicated. The short answer is yes, but with some important caveats that could save you from making expensive mistakes.
The weight reality check: Most factory roof racks on Ford Bronco are limited to around 45kgs or less, which is insufficient for most roof top tents that weigh 45-80kgs. But don’t worry – where there’s a will (and proper equipment), there’s a way. That’s why lower weight tents are just better, and slimmer tents allow access to covered car parks with height limits of 2.3m even lower if your Ford Bronco is not riding on big tyres and suspension lift.
You’ve got three main options for Ford Bronco roof top tent installation:
Heavy-duty aftermarket roof rack system (recommended)
Aerodynamic efficiency, roomy interior, comfortable mattress, included LED lighting
Budget-Friendly Warriors
The Chicari rooftop tent deserves special mention for UAE and Oman conditions. It’s specifically designed for desert and off-road conditions common in our region, with breathable materials and a low-profile design that helps keep the interior cooler in hot weather1.
Installation: Getting Your Tent Mounted Right
Installing a roof top tent on your Ford Bronco isn’t rocket science, but it’s definitely a two-person job. I learned this the hard way when I tried to mount my first tent solo and nearly dropped it on my neighbor’s car. Not my finest moment.
Here’s what you’ll need:
A quality Ford Bronco roof bars system rated for your as all the tent’s weight is less than 60kgs.
Basic tools (usually included)
A patient friend (not included, unfortunately)
About 2-3 hours for first-time installation
The Real Talk: What Nobody Tells You
Let’s address the elephant in the room – or should I say, the tent on the roof? Will a roof top tent affect your Ford Bronco’s fuel economy? Yes, absolutely. You’re looking at a 15-20% reduction in fuel efficiency2. But here’s my take: if you’re worried about gas mileage, you probably shouldn’t be driving a Ford Bronco in the first place.
Other considerations:
Height clearance becomes an issue (goodbye, drive-throughs)
Wind noise increases
Your Ford Bronco becomes a magnet for curious questions at gas stations
Your Next Adventure Awaits
Look, I could spend another thousand words talking about thread counts and aluminum alloys, but here’s the bottom line: a Ford Bronco roof top tent isn’t just camping equipment – it’s freedom in a box. It’s the difference between being a tourist and being an explorer.
Whether you’re chasing the perfect sunrise shot in the Empty Quarter or just want to escape the city chaos for a weekend, your Ford Bronco with a roof top tent becomes your ticket to adventures you never thought possible.
So, what are you waiting for? The desert is calling, and your Ford Bronco is ready to answer. Just don’t forget to pack extra water – and maybe a sense of humor for when you’re explaining to your significant other why you “need” a tent on your roof.
Ready to transform your Ford Bronco into the ultimate adventure machine?
Start researching local dealers, measure your roof rack capacity, and prepare for the best investment you’ll ever make in your overlanding setup. Trust me, your future self will thank you when you’re watching the stars from your rooftop bedroom in the middle of nowhere.

I recently had the pleasure of ordering from Overland GCC, and I must say that their customer service truly exceeded my expectations. I encountered an issue with the courier regarding the delivery of my order. The courier falsely claimed that they had attempted to contact me multiple times, which was not the case.
However, the team at Overland GCC stepped in and handled the situation with remarkable professionalism. They took the time to resolve the issue promptly and arranged for the courier to deliver my order, keeping me updated throughout the entire process.
Their commitment to customer satisfaction and exceptional service is commendable. I am grateful for their support and highly recommend Overland GCC to anyone looking for a reliable and customer-focused company. Thank you for turning a frustrating experience into a positive one!

I contacted the shop via Whatsapp. I inquired about the availability of Finel N7 telescopic light. They replied immediately and kept me in their follow up list, as the item was sold out at the time of inquiry. After two weeks they informed me that the item is available and I bought it immediately. I am very happy with the service and I will come back again for further purchases in the future. In addition - I would like to suggest that they become Middle East distributors for premium camping gear brands from Japan and Korea such Snow Peak, Helinox, Korogi, Cargo Container, Bonflag, etc.

Chicari Tent extralarge for Nissan X-terra.
We met with Sid from OverlandGCC to view the Chicari tent in person - a great guy with the customer interest at heart. We installed the tent (im +6ft2) to sit flush on the stock xterra rails which required some customising but worth it in the end. A super easy to use tent, comfy matress, plenty of space, high quality ladder and zips. Its been used the last 3 years and no complaints ! - we still dunebash and the car does not feel top heavy.
All in all, great value tent, versatile, strong and slim.

Bought Chicari Chillax Chair, not expecting anythin new with camping chair but this is suprising. Solid Built, wide and comfortable but compact when folded. It has 3 adjustable height with 3 modes of application, normal inclined, low seating in Sand by bending all feet, semi-cot mode by bending the back feet only. We will buy another for my wife.
