Truck Tents

With a truck tent your truck can turn into a cozy place to sleep while in the great outdoors. They are simple to set up, comfortable to sleep in, and they give you easy access to your vehicle while you’re camping.

What is a truck tent?

If you’ve ever pulled into a campsite and saw a tent that looks like it’s sitting in the bed of a truck, you were probably looking at a truck bed tent. A truck tent is a tent that’s designed to fit in the back of your truck. It wraps around your truck bed, and it attaches to the truck via straps to keep it secure. A car tent attaches to the back of your car when you lift the hatch or tail gate.

Most truck box tents are designed from standard tent materials including Gor-tex or nylon. They have all the same standard features as a regular tent including windows, zip doors, and a fly to protect from rain. Some models will come with a screen room as well.

What are the features and benefits of having a truck tent?

There are a lot of benefits to having a truck tent, and one of the best is that you’ll be up and off the ground when camping. Because a truck bed tent is set up in the box of your truck, you’ll never have to put your tent down on mud or wet ground. Being up in the truck bed will make your camping experience much cleaner, and it gives you a solid, flat surface to sleep on instead of bumpy ground.

Having a tent for back of the truck is also less costly than buying a camper add-on. A back of the truck camper attachment is a hard shell camper that fits on the back of your truck. Not only can they cost several thousands of dollars to buy, but they are also extremely heavy and a permanent attachment unless you’d like to remove the camper when it’s not in use. For ease of use and simplicity when heading out for a weekend of camping, a truck pop up tent is the better option.

Where can you use a truck bed tent?

A truck box tent makes it easy to head out for backcountry camping. You can pack your tent, camp stove, and sleeping bags and explore off road trails, camp by the lake, or enjoy the scenery while parked halfway up a mountain. With a truck pop up tent, you won’t have to worry about hauling a 30 or 50 lb pack of gear up a trail because everything you need will be packed with you in your car or truck.
