Brand: Terrafirma
Terrafirma TF1704 2.5m 270 Degree Terradactyl Awning
The Terrafirma TF1704 Terradactyl is the 2.5m 270 degree awning for larger 4x4 touring and expedition setups. It opens around the side and rear of the vehicle, giving practical shelter for camping, green laning, overlanding, events and day-to-day kit access in poor weather.
Fitment & compatibility
- Fitment: Universal – not vehicle-specific.
- Best fit: Ideally suited to LWB vehicles with a rack or body side length of at least 2.5m.
- Mounting: Mounts to the left side of the vehicle using the integral T-slot extruded aluminium back plate.
Range positioning & choice guidance
Choose this if you want the larger 2.5m Terradactyl awning without integrated LED lighting. Choose the TF1704LED Terradactyl awning with LED lighting if you want the 2.5m Terradactyl with LEDs, or the TF1714 2.0m Terradactyl LED awning if a shorter 2.0m awning is a better fit.
Why choose this?
- Large shelter area helps with cooking, recovery kit access and rear-door use on trips.
- Self-supporting in moderate conditions, with integrated legs and guy ropes for securing when open.
- Suitable for longer vehicles where the 2.0m awning may not provide enough coverage.
- Compatible awning room can be added separately to create more enclosed shelter.
Key features explained
- Four-wing 270 degree layout gives side and rear coverage from a single awning.
- Grey 400D ripstop fabric and aluminium arms are practical for regular camp and expedition use.
- Tie-down loops on each wing help water run off rather than pooling.
- The built-in cover keeps the awning and poles contained when travelling.
Installation & what else you may need
Installation is medium difficulty due to size and mounting requirements. Check roof rack or side-mount strength before fitting, and contact TFR 4X4 if you need help choosing brackets.
