Austin BarrettAustin Barrett: Fit great in my ‘95 F-150 with 8ft bed. My only concern when buying it was if the rain fly would keep rain from getting under the tent, I’d say it would. The rain fly straps down over the sides of the bed and covers the gap.

Directions weren’t very helpful, but it wasn’t too hard to figure out.

Seems to be good quality. I didn’t test it out, but I think you could drive under 30mph with it.

Didn’t have a lot of headroom, definitely cannot stand up in it. But that’s not too big a deal to me

Caleb C.Caleb C.: I bought the tent for my Ram truck, because I don't like sleeping on the ground in New England. Anything to avoid the ticks! I placed a cot and a small end table inside, you also have the rails of your truck bed to store stuff as well its very nice! The instructions for assembly were kind of bland, it took a minute to figure out that the black pole goes inside the tent, but for me it was about 15 minutes to get it together and another 5 minutes to get it secured to the truck. Slept great, it rained and nothing inside got wet. I'd say for the price this is a sound purchase.

Terra Plato: The first time we put this together, one of the poles broke. The seller on Amazon no longer existed so we contacted sportsman guide directly. We gave them the item number for the tent, the replacement part number, as well as our Amazon order number. They told us they don’t have replacement parts for this tent and then asked for the paper invoice that came with the product. Well, of course we didn’t have it so basically they were just looking for any excuse to not stand behind their product. I wouldn’t buy a Sportsman Guide product ever again.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Amazing tent overall. Make sure to put it together before you’re at your campsite. I did it in my driveway first and it took me about 25 min since I didn’t know exactly how it should sit (beers probably didn’t help either). When I was at the site it took about 10 min to set up alone. I didn’t use the second tarp that goes over since it was hot, and at night it dropped to about 61 so I was still very warm with my blankets. In the morning it did collect a lot of condensation (even though it wasn’t too cold at night but I let it dry out by itself and it was good by noon.

The second morning i had to leave by 11 so I couldn’t let the tent “self dry”. When I started packing I noticed the ceiling was still a little damp, I grabbed like 5 paper towels and clumped them together and it took about 2 minutes to wipe the ceiling down. I’m a decent camper (camp about 3-4 times a year) I’ve had my previous tent for about 8 years and still love, but, I do like the peace of mind of forest critters not approaching the wall of my tent anymore.

Would I recommend? Absolutely, but the wet walls when you wake up is the only negative. It’s something you can easily...

Mark M: I've had mine since early 2018, purchased for a 2017 ram 6.5' box and it fits like a glove! I've used it about a half dozen or more times since purchase and still love it.
The first time I put it together was the hardest, but not enough to complain about. Now I can put it together by myself within 15 minutes, and that includes total setup with a mattress, bedding, heater/fan setup, etc. 15 minutes tops, and I'm done, nice! It weighs about the same as a pair of light hiking shoes so solo assembly is quite easy. I usually put it together on the ground and just lift into place and fit to the truck, but it can be assembled right in the bed as well, maybe even a bit easier to do actually, I think the last time I did assemble it on the bed. The benefit of bed assembly vs ground assembly is that it's kept clean and free of dirt, leaves, etc and you save the step of having to raise it up to and fit to the bed of the truck. I keep a small cheap harbor freight blower with me so I just blow out the bed and tent before and after use so everything stays spotless :)
Only thing to note: use care when assembling the poles and fitting them into the end corner pockets. Although the end...
