Nice looking NS 650. I just bought the same TC in April. N Star makes a good product with great customer service! Is that a 1/2 ton pu?

I got 13.5 mpg with my GMC 1500 Sierra, 4x4, Nothstar 650 Pop Up. I kept it under 65 mph. Coming home against the wind, I only managed to get 12 mph.

The I will be at about 7300 lbs after loading up, slight over the max load rating for the truck. I have had the Yokohama Geolanders on it for the last two sets...great tire. I think I will follow your lead on this. Thanks for the input.

Newbie here...I just purchased a NS 650 that will be going on my GMC 1/2 ton. I need to purchase new tires and dont know how much tire I need. I am being told that a C rated tire should be enough but read that E rated are teh way to go. I have had two tire dealers tell me that I dont need E...

I am getting mixed reviews on what rated tire I should put on my truck. I am putting a Northstar 650 on my GMC, crewcab/short box, 1/2 ton. I read about E rated tires but after calling around, I am being told Idont need that much tire on the half ton, even though the truck will be MAXED out...

Did you make the awning or buy it?

Colby Jack, Are you looking at the Northsatr 800? I have seen a few used with the fold out bed. It is basically a bed that folds out on the pasenger side where the window is. It is 36" wide and 62.5" long. You may be able to modify it and should call Rex at Nortstar. These guys are great and...

Knobby Tracks, I am glad to hear that they already made the cushions level. All of the pictures I have looked at look like the fold out bed cusion is about 3" higher. I have not seen a 650 in person yet. This will make a big difference for sleeping my two boys. I thought about not having a...

Good to know that you can change out the fold out bed for the window. I wasnt sure if the fold out would be worth it but I think it was a good choice. Is it possible to sleep two people with their feet into the pop out section? My thought was that my twwo boys could do this and have mo0re room...

By the Way, you got a killer deal on yours!!

After seeing your 650 on your truck, I ordered one. I was sold on the Nortstars and I looked all over for a used 650 but you cant find them used. Thanks for the pics. I feel a little better now about putting it on the 1/2 ton. I am hoping the air bags take care of the ride. My truck is going to...

I just ordered a NS 650 to go on my GMC 1500 crew cab. I saw one with the full wrap around on the short box and it looked great.

I looked at the Hawk and the Northstar and after sleeping on it for a month, I decided to order a new TC 650 with teh fold out bed. I looked eveywhere for a used one but couldnt find one except for the east coast. I get it in April, cant wait. The Hallmark was also in the running but the price...
