Best Truck Bed Tents of 2025

“I love this tent! I've used it multiple times in the last year, and I can confidently say it's awesome for a truck bed setup. Being elevated in the truck bed gives me a sense of security, and there's plenty of room for my family. Setup is straightforward; I found that assembling it on the ground first and then lifting it into the truck bed works best. It fits perfectly in my 2005 Nissan Titan, and I’m impressed with its durability, even in strong winds and rain.”

“This truck tent is perfect for my Jeep Gladiator. I took it on a crazy 5-week solo road trip and camped every night. Setting it up alone was easier than I expected; I just used some heavy items inside to hold it down while I set it up. It survived all kinds of weather without leaking, and the setup process was manageable even with 40mph winds. After 35 days of use, the only issue was a broken elastic in one pole, which I can easily fix.”

“I purchased this truck tent in mid-summer 2023, and I’ve set it up about 5 or 6 times. The quality of the materials is great, and it's straightforward to set up. It fits my 2004 Toyota Tundra perfectly and provides ample space for two adults. I appreciate that it comes with a rain fly, although I haven't needed to use it. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the tent and highly recommend it for camping trips.”

"I bought this tent for light camping in Florida and it works great. Setup is easy and fast, and it seals well. With the tailgate down on my 5ft Tacoma bed, I fit a twin size folding foam mattress perfectly. Overall, it feels like a great bang for the buck."

"I purchased this tent for dispersed camping in Washington. It fit my 2021 Tacoma SR perfectly. Setup took about 10 minutes. I initially thought I didn't have a rain flap, but mine came with one, though it was tricky to install. After using it in heavy rain, I can confirm it is incredibly waterproof. However, I discovered it doesn't quite reach the end of the tailgate, which caused some water to accumulate in the truck bed."

"I absolutely love this tent! It's all I need for my weekend fishing trips. It saves me so much compared to motel rooms. If it lasts even two years, I’ve saved money. I believe it can last for five years or more! It's big enough for two and a dog, and it feels like a motel room in my truck bed. Quick, comfortable camping made easy!"

“I found this item to be great, fitting like a glove in my 2006 Dodge Ram. The setup was easy!”

“I was pleasantly surprised by this tent. The instructions were a bit basic, but with patience, I managed to set it up. It looks fantastic, and I can fit a full-size inflatable mattress inside the wheel wells.”

“Using this tent was a breeze! It set up in about 30 minutes, mainly due to putting on all the straps. It came down in just a few minutes. Just a tip: pack it tightly, or it won't fit back in the storage bag.”

"I found it super easy to set up and it fit my Tacoma perfectly. After throwing in an air bed and sleeping bag, I was all set. Even when it rained heavily overnight, I didn't feel a thing!"

"This is my second truck tent purchase, and I can say it's definitely better built than Napier. The tent supports are much sturdier and the interior feels more spacious."

"Setting it up was a breeze, and it fit in the truck bed like a glove. I really appreciated the ample space inside; it felt nice and tall. When it came to packing it back up, it folded neatly and went back into the bag without hassle."

"I am 5'8 and found this tent to be perfect for me both inside and out. Setting it up was a breeze, thanks to the color-coordinated poles that matched easily. Once set up, it felt super sturdy. There was ample room inside, and with my air mattress, I had space at the end to stand and store bags. The zipper is sturdy, but I think it could benefit from a few tabs along the zipper line to help hold the tent in place while zipping it up. Overall, this tent is a great size for the money."

"I found putting this tent up to be relatively easy, and while the quality is just okay, it was a budget-friendly option for a short trip. It did the job, though I noticed a tiny hole near the screen at the top, which I quickly patched with some tape. I believe I can get at least one or two seasons of use out of it, so it's worth the cost. Plus, it fit perfectly in the back of my Ram 1500 6.5' bed."

"This truck bed tent has been a game changer for my last-minute camping trips. I love being up off the ground and the amount of space it provides is just amazing. Setting it up was super easy, which I appreciated as a single female camper. I had no difficulties at all!"

"After extensive research, I found the Kodiak Canvas Truck Tent to be top-rated for customer satisfaction and durability. The shipping was prompt, arriving in less than a week. I did encounter a minor issue with the C-clamps that came with the tent, as they didn’t fit my F150 Supercrew with a BakFlip tonneau cover. However, I quickly replaced them with Bessey 3 Inch Drop Forged clamps, and that worked perfectly. During my first setup, I cleaned the poles to avoid any residue on the canvas, and followed the instructions closely. The tent was surprisingly spacious, and even with all the windows open, we enjoyed a cool breeze inside. After testing its water resistance, I found it completely dry inside, which was impressive. I’m looking forward to my first camping adventure with it!"

"I recently had a four-day solo vacation where I tested the truck bed tent. From my initial setup exercises, I can confidently say that the Kodiak is an excellent choice for truck-bed camping. I appreciate the canvas material, as it feels much sturdier compared to nylon or poly options. The first setup took a bit longer, but now I can do it in about 15 to 20 minutes. For easier storage, I’ve even devised a method to keep it compact and ready to go without needing to unbag it each time. Additionally, I created a quick-clamping mechanism for attaching the tent to my truck, which has worked wonders for convenience. Overall, I’m very pleased!"

"This tent is nothing short of durable and is okay to assemble. My husband usually handles assembly tasks, and while it takes time, we manage well. One small drawback is that bugs can still get in along the sides of the truck, so it’s not entirely bug-proof. The tent arrived on time and as described, and I genuinely like its overall quality."

“I finally set this tent up on my '98 Ford F150, and it was fairly easy to assemble. The instructions are attached to the storage bag, so I didn't lose them. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of headroom and how comfortable it was inside, even without the rain fly. My dogs enjoyed it too, although one of them did roll out of the tent at the tailgate end during the night, but she was fine!”

“This tent has been a great investment for us. It's easy to set up and take down, and it packs small enough for convenient storage. We use it year-round and find it very waterproof. I do wish it had a bottom, as it allows some bugs in if not set up tightly.”

“Using this tent has been a game changer for our camping trips. The adaptable straps worked well after I figured them out, and the rainfly was simple to install. I found that it fits well in my truck bed, but I had to create extensions because my bed was slightly larger. Overall, I think this tent is perfect for stationary camping.”

"I bought this tent for a camping trip in NH, and it was fantastic! It fit perfectly and was easier to assemble than I anticipated. I can't complain at all!"

"After receiving my tent, I set it up and found the initial setup on the ground a bit challenging. However, once it was up, it provided excellent shade and space. Unfortunately, it started to show wear after just a few uses."

"Using the tent last weekend was a bit disappointing as it ripped at the seam, leaving a significant hole. I found the quality to be quite low."

"This tent truly is wind and waterproof! Even during a tropical storm, it stayed dry and in place. I can’t recommend it enough—easy to set up, too!"

"I was surprised by the roominess and quality of this tent. Unfortunately, it started leaking during a rainstorm despite being treated with an exterior waterproofer. While it offered an excellent experience in fair weather, I can't say it was enjoyable during the storm. However, I appreciate that the manufacturer reached out to address the issue."

"I absolutely love this tent! It's a perfect fit for my 2015 Toyota Tacoma and was great for our cold hunting trip. My only wish is for an opening at the top for better circulation with a propane heater, but I managed to open the window to help with that."

"I bought this tent for a trip with my son to the desert, and unfortunately, it was broken upon opening. I had to make it work since I was in the middle of nowhere. I was really bummed, as it was my first time using it and I felt like I wasted my money."

"I really enjoy this tent, especially how it fits my 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 perfectly. However, I discovered one of the poles was broken when I received it. I’m struggling to get in touch with support since it’s been over 30 days and I can't locate any contact info."

"Using this tent for a 3-day event was a breeze! The setup and breakdown were super simple. I made sure to practice beforehand to find the best tie-down spots for my truck. It worked perfectly, and paired with an air mattress, it felt like camping in style!"
