Picked up a factory sealed XUV tent on eBay, untouched since February 2003!

Isn't it kinda flappy at highways speeds?

Yeah there are about 20 warnings in the manual stating not to drive with it on lol

I was watching some rerun of an old tv show on YouTube and they had recorded the commercials as well. It was 2022 and I was jaw droppingly amazed when I saw the XUV commercial. I know it probably had problems and the functions might be a constant maintenance hassle but it was just so cool. I miss stupid features like that

Exactly how I feel. There is nothing like it out there, and even if it's a pain in the ass sometimes, I still love it

Studebaker Larks had retractable roofs in the 60s

Yes, but I don't think I could daily drive a 60s Studebaker lol. I'm glad they invented the concept, I just wish someone else would do a modern rendition

You're telling me the Aztek wasn't the only GM SUV to get a tent?

[-]

cuenot_io@reddit (OP)

Apparently not 😛

Hell yeah brother. I had a XUV as my first car. Fucking loved the thing. Hope you'll be able to keep it on the road and all the funky parts working. Godspeed with your camping trips, this is awesome.

ScottaHemi@reddit

didn't know the XUV had a tent option!

[-]

NOTExETON@reddit

I wanted one so bad when these first came out, the Aztec had a similar setup

[-]

RecentRegal@reddit

It looks like you could fit pretty comfortably just in the back without the tent?

[-]

cuenot_io@reddit (OP)

You really can, I bought a tri-fold twin mattress and it fits perfectly inside

Wow! Man I miss my envoy 🫡

XUVs are real neat. Apparently they sold like shit, which is weird, cause I know of at least 3 within like 10 blocks of me. Lol.

I've always wondered if it'd have sold better if they released a Chevy version with the Avalanche's nose.

[-]

jerseybert@reddit

Why would they put the Avalanche nose on a Chevrolet Trailblazer?

[-]

cuenot_io@reddit (OP)

I'm holding out hope that they make a Sierra EV XUV. It's a shockingly similar vehicle, and that option would have me sold in a heartbeat. Until then, I'll drive this until the wheels fall off

Can't wait to actually use it
