Yakima Skybox 12, its narrow (24" wide) but long. Fits T4 plus a bunch of other stuff. In fact, my avatar shows it atop my Ranger canopy. I recently got the smaller Gazelle Gazebo, which is a slightly less long package compared to the T4. Both will fit up in the Skybox 12. This has been a pretty great solution. The trick is enduring packing, unpacking, packing over multiple days. If it doesn't totally drive you crazy, then its working alright, and this is. Leaves the truck bed for cube, rectangle and duffel-shaped things.
That is the route I ended up taking. A Yakima SkyBox 12 Carbonite was delivered a couple of weeks ago. My plan is tent and chairs up in the Skybox and the other stuff under the tonneau cover.

When I’m not carrying my roof top tent and traveling with the Gazelle I honestly just strap it down in its bag on my rack and have had no issues over the couple of years I have had it and the many trips that I have taken it on.

I have a full size F-150 Screw with a big back seat area. Both the T4 and my 10x10 canopy fits nice on the floor behind my front seats when I have the rear seats folded up.

That's great. Our Gazelle is the 7 person and we don't have a roof rack yet

Mines not a gazelle, but similar type of tent (pop up), so it's about the same size when folded up.
For now, it fits behind the driver and passenger seat, but plan to secure it to the roofrack (once the rack arrives).
