Much depends on your use. Are you driving out and camping in a campground? Basically car camping?
Do you hike in 15 miles, camp and hike out?
Do you use your tent just to sleep or do you hang out in it?
Do you share your tent?
It seems like it is just you and the dog and maybe one other person and it is out and back weekends at a campground.
For long trails, backpacking months at a time, Durston tents are good for one or two people. The Pro 2p is what I’ve owned in the past. The XMid has a good price point. The REI half dome has more interior room and is easier to set up.
For car camping and spending some time in the tent an Ozark Trails 4 person tent used for two is great (walked out to my garage to check ours). We got it at a garage sale but only use it for car camping bb
My current primary tent is for backpacking with my wife, months at a time. I love it but I would not recommend the Zpacks Trio for your use.
From what I can tell from your post weight doesn’t really matter. Interior comfort does. But without more none of us here can tell.
Finally, most online lists are trying to get you to buy so they can rake in affiliate marketing kickbacks. That results in confusing and scattershot reviews and advice.
Wish you luck.
Zpacks Offset Trio. Only around a few years and not made anymore. So much room. Great tent.
I don’t know how the current Pivot Trio stacks up as I’ve never seen one. It isn’t as long, but maybe the inside struts create steep walls to compensate for it being shorter than the Offset?
