The quality of this tent is next level. The canvas walls are 280g polycotton ripstop to avoid tears. As extra protection there is a 420D polyester Oxford rain fly which makes the tent totally waterproof.

The OVS Bushveld also comes in two size categories: 2-3 person or the 4 person, which can be supersized with the addition of an annex. This can be used as an extra sleeping area or a changing room.

Best Soft Shell - Overland Junction Labrador

Soft Shell Ford Escape Roof Top Tent

The Overland Junction Labrador is the best soft shell roof top tent for Ford Escape

The Overland Junction Labrador soft shell roof top tent is large, lightweight, AND luxurious - a rare combination in the tent space.

Large: While this tent is available in 3 sizes, all of them - but especially the 4+ person - are large for their category.

Lightweight: Despite the large size, the Labrador is designed to be super lightweight. The largest tent caps out at 146 pounds, impressively lean for such a large tent.

Luxurious: And even though this tent is light, it doesn't skimp on luxuries.

The tent has a 2.75" high-density foam mattress that will keep you comfortable throughout the night.

It also has non-metal zippers so there isn't any wind clanging, and high-quality, black fabrics that keep the inside of the tent warm and dark.

Plus, there are two massive skylights in the roof so you can enjoy the views whether it's starry or pouring.

Best Premium - Roofnest Condor 2

Premium Ford Escape Roof Top Tent

The Roofnest Condor 2 is the best premium option for Ford Escape owners

The Roofnest Condor 2 XL is a premium hard shell tent that's large, comfortable, and high-end. This is the Ritz of tents.

You'll wish you had the 2" memory foam mattress on your bed at home.

There are features galore, including LED lights and HVAC ports.

And the add-ons are in a league of their own: Not only can you add crossbars to the top to keep hauling gear, but you can also add Roofnest's unique awnex.

The awnex is an awning + annex combo that gives you a ton more usable space that's protected and comfortable.

Best Clamshell - Freespirit Aspen V2

Clamshell Ford Escape Roof Top Tent

Best clamshell roof top tent tent for Ford Escape owners.

The Freespirit Recreation Aspen V2 is a premium clamshell roof top tent.

True to Freespirit's reputation, the Aspen V2 has an extremely low profile: a sleek 7 inches.

Clamshells are known for being the fastest tents to setup and this one doesn't disappoint.

Plus, Freespirit has included its 3" aircore mattress with the tent, so you'll have maximum comfort and the ability to deflate the mattress to store gear inside.

Finally, despite the slim design, the Aspen V2 is strong enough to hold gear on top, and you can purchase optional crossbars to do so.

Best Views - Overland Junction Golden

Best Views Ford Escape Roof Top Tent

The Overland Junction Golden provides unmatched 360-degree views for Ford Escape owners

The Overland Junction Golden is a pop-up, hard shell roof top tent that is redefining views.

While most tents claim 360-degree views because they have a door or window on each side, the Golden allows you to completely drop the walls for truly 360-degree views.

If you want the views without the bugs, simply put the mesh layer up after dropping the walls to keep the open air but keep the critters out.

And if the weather is bad, keep the walls up for maximum protection. After all, the Golden has industry-leading 5,000 mm waterproofing.

Plus, the Overland Junction Golden also has a 2.75" high-density foam mattress that's awesomely comfortable.

Best Large - Tuff Stuff Elite

Large Ford Escape Roof Top Tent

The Tuff Stuff Elite is the best large tent for Ford Escapes

The Tuff Stuff Overland Elite Roof Top tent is one of the few rooftop tents that can sleep up to 5 people.

But that's just the start. Unlike most tents, the Elite comes standard with an annex that can sleep an additional 4 people.

In other words, you have a 9-person house atop your Ford Escape!

And the main tent comes with a privacy wall that can split the area into 2, so your 9-person house has 3 bedrooms.

The mattress is a thick 2.75" for guaranteed comfort.

And unlike almost every tent out there, there are 2 ladders (not just 1) to increase access to the tent.
