If you’ve attended an Overland Expo, there’s a good chance you’ve seen the Goose Gear booth, or at the very least, their innovative products in a wide range of overland vehicle builds. Goose Gear is family-owned and operated, and while they’ve called California home for the last three generations, they recently moved their operations to Grand Junction, Colorado. One of the first products to debut out of their new facility is the UltraLite Series of interior products for some of the most popular campers on the market.
The UltraLite interior is designed to offer the durability, organization, and convenience you’d expect from Goose Gear in the lightest package possible. “Our goal was to create a system that gives our customers all the benefits of Goose Gear’s premium storage solutions while significantly cutting weight,” said Brian Fulton, CEO at Goose Gear. “With UltraLite, adventurers can enjoy a highly configurable setup that won’t slow them down.”

We always encourage overlanders and other off-road enthusiasts to be mindful of Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings, but we totally understand that it’s easy to neglect that number when you’re outfitting your rig for comfort and preparedness. However, Goose Gear has made it easy to save an incredible amount of weight with the UltraLite Bed Cargo Module, weighing 42 pounds, the 5-foot Rear Utility Storage Bench is only 15.5 pounds, the 6-foot Storage Bench Extension only adds on 8 pounds and somehow the entire Sleep Deck is a scant 6 pounds. By our math, that means you could outfit a 5-foot-long truck bed with the Cargo Module and two Utility Storage Benches and only eat into 73 pounds of your capacity. Plus, when you outfit your truck with Goose Gear products, you know you’re getting great customer support from craftsmen who are also active in the community.
Currently, the Goose Gear UltraLite products are available for 2005-2023 Tacomas with both 5- and 6-foot beds that are equipped with Go Fast Campers. GFC Rivian R1Ts are also covered. Third Gen Tacoma owners who opted for Super Pacific Campers can also take advantage of the UltraLite Series. We hope that Goose Gear continues to expand the truck and camper models that are compatible with this innovative product line. If your rig isn’t included, Goose Gear still makes a wide range of products, including seat deletes, their classic line of storage solutions, kitchen modules, and the Park Series of drawers and sleep platforms for a wide range of Subarus and Toyota RAV4s.
