Question 1

What is a truck bed tent?

Accepted Answer

A truck bed tent is a tent designed to fit into the back of a truck bed. In our guide, you’ll notice a few different styles, but generally speaking, a truck bed tent includes a tent body, a pole-set, and a rainfly.

Question 2

Can a truck bed tent be used on the ground?

Accepted Answer

Not really. Truck bed tents rely on the structure of your truck bed for stability. They don’t come with stakes to help secure the tent, nor do all of them have floors. We suppose that with some ingenuity and hard work, you could figure out a way to rig one up on the ground, but we can’t see a reason why you would.

Question 3

Can I drive with my truck bed tent up?

Accepted Answer

Bad idea. Truck bed tents should not be up while the truck is in motion. We expect they would blow away at all but the lowest possible speeds, creating litter and trash in a best-case scenario, and dangerous driving hazards to other motorists in a worst-case scenario.

Question 4

How do I measure my truck bed tent compatibility?

Accepted Answer

Each truck bed tent has its own measurement requirements based on design and intended use. Once you’ve identified a truck bed tent that has the feature-set and price point you want, poke around the Amazon page for measurement charts, user reviews, and other relevant information. Some truck bed tents in our guide only work for trucks of specific makes, models, and bed sizes, while others are more flexible.
