I have not seen this posted but it appears that fwc is developing a minimalistic camper for those who either like that or are concerned about weight...

M stands for millennial. It is their target demo for these things. Should be Project - D for dust.

That was my first thought when I saw that. Also no insulation against the metal or in my case composite bed. Add to that all the built in drain holes on truck beds.

Looks like a great lightweight option to me. Sure beats a lot of things I have camped in over the years.

If those had been avail. 7 years back, I would have one instead of my Hawk(which I do like mucho). It would have been a better set up on my first gen Tundra, which has been replaced with a F250.

I like this. I can put a quad or motorcycle in the bed and have a place to sleep at night without having to tow a trailer. It does mean I would have to remove the toys before bedtime, but that only takes a few minutes.
Hopefully they leave enough room between the mattress and the roof to pre-make a bed.

I like the concept...you can still use your truck as a truck. But I too, am concerned about dust. As demonstrated by several toppers I’ve owned, the tailgate will always be the culprit; and I like using my tailgate for all sorts of tasks. But if this unit were built with barn doors and a frame that sealed the rear I might be tempted to pull out the checkbook.

That checkbook better be busy to Mr. Bonney first Richard.

Looks to me that it's an FWC that won't overload a Tacoma. My experience with a Ranger II on a Dakota taught me not to overload my truck, especially for those Baja backroads. Sealing the dust out would be good. Also 9 grand for basically a shell is a little high I think.
