A $20 tarp is better than a $2000 batwing awning
4runner doesn't need a snorkel kit unless you are trying to drive to askja volcano or something

Car camping is just camping with unnecessary consumerism.

Yeah you should have to walk to your campsite from your front door

I'm guessing you're being sarcastic, but you do realise in places which are not quite so car-obssessed, people literally do this quite often?
It's also very common to use the bus or train for the first 10 - 50 miles or whatever, then walk the last 1 - 10 miles.

I sometimes take bus when I'm backpacking. Eliminates the worry of smashed windows at the trailhead

I feel like there is an interesting money gradient in car camping/van dwelling space between people doing this because they have to and people doing this because they want to and can pay for shit like the awning.
I also feel like the snorkel is less a camping flex and more a way to gear flex.

It’s as consumerist as you want it to be lol. Like my car camping is just basically the tent and a power station. It’s nice to get away from the cities, go sight seeing, and save money on hotels.

I have roof tent. Its great because I sleep better in it than on inflated mattress. Also takes less time to pack up. But I put it on a normal car.
But yeah I don't do overlanding because no 4x4 offroading.
