I think it would be too short for Me.

having Slept inside a Car before I can say that the rock around a lot. Being on top they would rock around even more.

While the above unit look is neat; functionally speaking I think a 3/4 Plywood Floor that you could attach a regular Tent to would do the same thing.

Cascadia I think makes the more tent like roof top units.

Wildernest might be out of business...

That one kind of looks like a Maggiolina.
Pretty sure they can be purchased through Welcome to AutoHomeUSA - Suppliers of Roof Top Tent Campers for SUVs, vans, trucks, or cars

Have a friend with a wildernest on his truck. pretty cool set up.
Using 4 corner body jacks can cut down tremendously on the rocking that diesel911 was referring to.

It looks like something from a Top Gear challenge.

Roof top tent.

There are a number of different companies that make them and they all have their pluses and minuses.
