Jeep’s New ARTT Rooftop Tent and Awning
Jeep’s New ARTT Rooftop Tent and Awning
Jeep’s latest concept, the Awning and Rooftop Tent (ARTT) system, debuted at the 2025 Overland Expo West, and it’s got overlanders talking. Designed with Dometic and Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) by Mopar, this innovative setup is custom-built for the four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Combining a lightweight rooftop tent and a 270-degree awning, the ARTT promises to make off-road camping easier and more comfortable. Here are five standout features that make this concept a potential must-have for Jeep owners.
Seamless Wrangler Integration
Unlike generic rooftop tents that require bulky roof racks, the ARTT system is designed specifically for the Jeep Wrangler’s roll cage and hardtop roof. This eliminates the need for extra hardware, keeping the vehicle’s weight low and maintaining its off-road agility. The system’s carbon-fiber shell adds a sleek, aerodynamic look while reducing wind resistance, making it ideal for long-distance overlanding trips without sacrificing fuel efficiency.
Quick and Easy Setup
Setting up camp has never been simpler, thanks to Dometic’s AIR Frame Inflation technology. The ARTT’s rooftop tent and 270-degree awning inflate quickly, so you can spend less time wrestling with gear and more time enjoying the trail. The tent is spacious enough for a queen-sized mattress, offering a comfortable night’s sleep for two, whether you’re in the desert or by a mountain lake.
Versatile 270-Degree Awning
The ARTT’s awning swings out a full 270 degrees, providing shade along the driver’s side and rear of the Wrangler. Supported by a hood-attached cable and equipped with LED lighting on its arms, it creates a perfect spot for cooking or relaxing after a day on the trail. Even when fully extended, the awning allows full access to the tailgate and rear window, so you can grab gear without any hassle.
Trail-Ready Durability
Showcased on the rugged Jeep Wrangler 4xe Sunchaser at the 2025 Easter Jeep Safari, the ARTT is built for adventure. Its lightweight construction doesn’t compromise the Wrangler’s off-road performance, and the carbon-fiber shell ensures it can handle tough conditions. Developed through Stellantis’ Star*Up program, this concept feels production-ready, sparking hope it’ll hit the market soon.
Clever Interior Access
One of the ARTT’s coolest features is its interior access port. By removing the Wrangler’s “Freedom Panels,” you can climb into the tent directly from the vehicle’s cabin. A carbon-fiber step protects the center console from wear, making it easy to slip into the tent during bad weather or late-night trips. This thoughtful design adds convenience and keeps you connected to your Jeep’s interior.
