When it announced its official US debut earlier this year, German rooftop tent innovator Roof Space mentioned it would soon add a four-person model to the lineup. It didn't drag its feet in fulfilling that promise, introducing the Roof Space 4 just a few weeks later. The new rooftop tent features the same 30-second quick-pitching hardshell design as the two-man, but upsizes the build around a four-person super-king mattress and two open-air cabanas. So no matter where the best views are, you can pop the tent open and soak them in.

After reemerging on the North American market a year ago, Westfalia is taking a step closer to the beloved Westy vans of the past. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean it's built its own Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro for the 21st century, but it does mean it's launched its smallest, nimblest camper van of the new era. We'd say the new Wave SRT is Westfalia Americas' most convincing model yet, a right-sized family camper that has space for four on the road and at camp.

When an automaker unveils a concept car, it's probably going to be a delicate show piece with fancy trim that's meant to be driven slowly and carefully, if at all. Not Chevrolet, though. With its latest concept, the 2025 Silverado EV ZR2 off-road race truck, Chevrolet defies convention and goes all out.
