Getting back on the pavement after a killer weekend on the trails feels great, but staring at four deflated tires while your buddies are already packed up? Not so much. Speed and reliability are everything when you just want to get home. After two years of abusing it in the desert heat and mountain snow, Alex Schult from 4wdTALK dropped his review of the MORRFlate TenSix PSI Pro Gen 2, a portable compressor built to make airing up the easiest part of the trip.

Built For The Long Haul
This wasn’t a gentle unboxing review. Alex treated this gear like a rental car, tossing it into truck beds, burying it in sand, and dragging it from Big Bear to Joshua Tree. He didn’t mince words about the abuse, stating, “I’ve taken it on nearly every adventure I’ve had across the Southwest.” The Gen 2 unit features heavy-duty upgrades like aluminum cylinders and heat sinks to manage temperatures better than the plastic stuff found on cheaper units. Even after dropping it into two feet of snow, Alex confirmed its toughness, saying, “It never let me down.”


Speed And Efficiency
The raw numbers on this thing are serious—10.6 CFM at zero PSI—but flow numbers don’t mean much if you can’t get the air into the tire. Alex pairs the compressor with a 4-tire inflation kit to fill all four corners at once. He explained the advantage of this method, saying, “By connecting all four tires at once, though, you eliminate that bottleneck and let the compressor push out its full 10.6 of greatness CFM.” In the real world, that means taking a set of 35s from trail pressure to street pressure in under five minutes.

Set It And Forget It
The real game-changer here is the “Pro” digital controller. Instead of crouching by the wheel watching a gauge, you set the target pressure and walk away. Alex described the freedom this gives you at the end of the day: “Set your pressure, hit the button, and go pack or put away camp or do whatever you want to while it does its work.” It shuts off automatically when the job is done.

The MORRFlate TenSix PSI Pro Gen 2 Verdict
For around $230, this unit sits in a sweet spot between cheap auto-parts store pumps and the ultra-expensive onboard systems. It pulls a lot of power—90 amps—so the engine needs to be running, but the trade-off in speed is worth it. Alex summed up his two-year experience with a solid endorsement: “I can honestly say this compressor has been one of the best additions in my off-road gear.”
