I really like the T4 and think it would work out well for my family, the problem is how long it is once its packed up. By my measurements it would probably fit in the bed if laid diagonal but that takes up a significant amount of space. My question is, are you guys aware of any similar tents that will actually fit in the bed straight?

I'm not aware of any other tents that have similar features as the Gazelle Tent. I personally use the Gazelle tent and can tell you that for sure it has to go in your bed diagonally. It is slightly inconvenient but it makes up for it with ease of set up and take down. It also has a nice rain fly that works well and is a well ventilated tent as it has a lot of windows.

I have the t4 plus, if you prop the thinner end up on something tallish you can get away with just a very small diagonal angle so it doesn't take up a ton of room.

There are a few other hub tents out there but this is far more common in ice fishing houses. There are a lot of other options if you want to camp in an ice house. Would be a great option for cooler weather but might suck for the summer as they are all insulated.

The first one is interesting, right at 60" packed so that may actually work, a little tight. and hard pass on the ice fishing hubs haha I live in NC, its gotta breathe. Thanks for the link though, I'll check it out

Shiftpod mini is 60x10” but 77” square and twice as much.
