    Any idea if the measurements they give on their website are internal or external?

    looks like im ordering the 45, 65 wont fit my dodge truck under the cover or my dads tundra, they need to look at shrinking the height of the 65 by half an inch so it fits more trucks or maybe they just sized it for new vehicles

    Guess I should have listened to brother @SGH sooner and jumped on board a couple months ago.  Better late than never.

    I'm glad you mentioned that because I didn't think at all about the height and it fitting under my tonneau cover (Diamondback).

    Ran out to measure and the 65 should slide right under with a bit over an inch to spare.

    Would have to smack myself in the face with a 2x4 if it arrived and wouldn't fit so thanks for saving me from that! :)

    Thanks for sharing ... sort of ..... I've been resisting, but the roadie and 45 are very appealing.

    Thanks for the trip and the update.  I've been considering a Yeti/Peilcan/whatever for awhile and will be anxious to see the reviews on these. 

    Question......I know Pelican has a 95 qt. (I think?).  Will RTIC have one as well or is 65 their biggest?

    At the moment the 65 is the biggest. This will probably change in the future though.

    I have a Pelican 95, for the record, it's a outstanding cooler.

    Meh, I've kickstarted items that have taken far longer to arrive. Put your order in, forget about it and then sometime in November a nice "surprise" will show up. I agree with @SGH these coolers probably won't remain at these prices going forward.

    Looking at these photos again, couldn't they at least tried to make it look like they weren't copying a YETI?  A little effort with some minor design changes...at least different colors.  Ballsy for sure. If I were in the market for another cooler I would pull the trigger in a second.

    Now I have one of each size on order. Between bbq comps and camping in the motorhome, I find myself actually needing more than a normal cooler can provide. With 3 of these bad boys I should be set! The large one will be dedicated to meat, The medium for drink, and the small will be full of ice.
