Look into the Overland Vehicle Systems new Nomadic line of awnings. They are built like a tank and if you keep an eye out campsaver.com as periodic sales with 20% off. I got my Nomadic 270 awning for $720, and that about half the price of an Alu Cab awning and they are built almost the same way.

I ordered the 6m x 6.5m Ironman awning with the tent. If you are interested I can tell you exactly what I ordered in order to make it work. The quick release brackets are awesome, less than a minute to take it off and store in garage. The LED strip that comes with it is an added bonus. Works great. I have it on in the second pic although it is daylight and hard to see. I can fit a full size 7ft. long cot in the tent so that is what I will be doing when I am by myself.
It is mountain on the stock roof rails with 2 LFD cross bars. I can also fit my my Hi-lift jack, my XBulls, and looks like I will be able to mount my 4 gallon Rotopax with a total of 5 cross bars. With 5 though I am only going to be able to use one Rotopax mount. I will have to get another LFD crossbar for a double mount 4 gallon Rotopax. But I think I can make it work with just one lockable Rotopax mount. I will let you know.
No added noise, works fine on the highway. Does bounce a little on very rough 4Wheel drive roads but still does fine. You would have to put it on a full length rack to keep it from bouncing at all.

Did you get the extra two poles to make the front entrance flap into an awning when you have the tent installed?

You will run into fitment that is not ideal. The hatch on a 4R is not only tall but wide. Mine has even more issues since I have RTT and a ladder.
Go 5 arm not 6. Your hatch will hit a 6 arm. You will have to space it off to the side for the width not to hit the arm on a 5 arm as well, and mount it high.
Honestly a 180 is a better fit for a hatch

No I didn't, but that's a good idea!

i didn't even think about the hatch. Looking at some products from Australia, they always seem to have better stuff. Not sure i would want to pay shipping though.

Exactly what I'm looking for? What's the verdict on the 5ft? Do you feel like it is too short at all, shade wise?

This won't give you instagram cred, but it is way cheaper than most of these awnings, and you can easily put it on either side or rear of the truck...
Or completely divorced from the truck..
