Looking for a Jeep Gladiator truck bed tent? The Gladiator has one bed for every trim, 60.3 in long according to Jeep, and it is shorter than the full-size short beds most “short bed” tents are made for. We matched that measurement to the tents sold in the right size.
Quick Answer: The Best Truck Bed Tent for the Jeep Gladiator
The best truck bed tent for the Jeep Gladiator is the Napier Sportz 57 Series in the Compact Short Bed size (57066). It fits the Gladiator’s 60.3 in bed and has a 2,000mm fly, a sewn-in floor, an awning and cab access. For a lighter tent, get the Napier Backroadz 19066. For a loaded bed, choose the floorless Rightline Gear 110766.

- FloorSewn-in bathtub floor, polyester oxford
- Sleeps2
- Center height5’7″

Good fit for

- 60.3 in bed
- Three seasons
The Napier Sportz 57 Series is the Jeep Gladiator truck bed tent we would buy first. Order the Compact Short Bed size, model 57066. Retailers list it for 5 ft to 5 ft 2 in beds, and Jeep lists the Gladiator bed at 60.3 in long with the tailgate closed, so it sits right in that range. ExtremeTerrain sells the 57066 as a Gladiator JT fit.
According to Napier, it has a 2,000mm PU-coated fly with taped seams, a sewn-in bathtub floor, 5 ft 7 in of center height and a 4 ft awning over the tailgate. The rear access panel gives you a way into the cab for storage or power, which works well on a Gladiator because the cab is right behind the bed.
The sewn-in floor means the bed must be empty before you pitch, so recovery gear and coolers move to the cab or the ground first. Napier rates it for spring, summer and fall.
What we like
- Compact Short Bed 57066 is sold as a Gladiator fit
- 2,000mm PU fly with taped seams
- Sewn-in floor keeps out bed grime and drafts
- Awning and cab access panel included
Things to know
- The bed has to be empty to pitch it
- Heaviest pick at 23 to 26 lb
- Three-season tent, not for winter
Best Value
Napier Backroadz 19 Series, Compact Short Bed (19066)
Napier fit and a sewn-in floor in a lighter, simpler tent.
Key specs, according to Napier
- Gladiator sizeCompact Short Bed, model 19066
- Fits beds5 ft to 5 ft 2 in
- Waterproof rating1,500mm PU coating
- FloorSewn-in, polyethylene
- Sleeps2
- Center height5 ft
- SetupAbout 10 minutes
- Weight15 to 16 lb
Good fit for
- 2020 to 2026 Gladiator
- 60.3 in bed
- Spring to fall
The Backroadz is the simple way into truck bed camping with a Gladiator. Napier lists the Compact Short Bed version, model 19066, for 5 ft to 5 ft 2 in beds, and the Gladiator’s 60.3 in bed is just over 5 ft.
You still get a sewn-in floor, storm flaps and color-coded poles, and Napier says it goes up in about 10 minutes. At 15 to 16 lb, it is the easiest to tuck behind the rear seat when you are not camping.
Compared with the Sportz 57, the fly is rated 1,500mm instead of 2,000mm, the center height is 5 ft instead of 5 ft 7 in, and there is no awning or rear access panel. For mostly dry trips in the desert Southwest it is plenty. For mountain storms, the Sportz is worth the step up.
What we like
- Made for 5 ft to 5 ft 2 in beds (Napier)
- Sewn-in floor like the Sportz 57
- About 10-minute setup
- Lightest pick at 15 to 16 lb
Things to know
- 1,500mm rating, lower than the Sportz 57
- No awning and no cab access panel
- 5 ft center height
Best Floorless
Rightline Gear Mid Size Short Bed Truck Tent, Tall Bed (110766)
Pitches over a loaded bed. The Tall Bed version is the one listed for the Gladiator.
Key specs, according to the retailer listing
- Gladiator sizeMid Size Short Bed (5 ft), Tall Bed, model 110766
- Listed fit2020 to 2026 Jeep Gladiator JT
- Fabric68D polyester, 2,000mm PU
- FloorFloorless, the truck bed is the floor
- Sleeps2 adults
- ExtrasSky view vent, two gear pockets, lantern hook
Good fit for
- 2020 to 2026 Gladiator
- Loaded beds
- Rubicon and Mojave builds
The Rightline Gear 110766 is the pick for Gladiator owners who keep the bed loaded. It is floorless, so it drapes over the bed rails and closes at the tailgate, and your gear stays where it is. That suits a Rubicon or Mojave set up with a fridge, drawers or recovery boards.
Order the Tall Bed version, 110766. ExtremeTerrain lists it for 2020 to 2026 Gladiators, and etrailer has an install video of it on a 2020 Gladiator. The Gladiator bed is deep, about 34 in according to published specs, so the tall version makes sense. Do not confuse it with the full-size 110730 on our main list, which is far too long for this truck.
Like any floorless tent, it lets drafts and dust in through gaps at the tailgate and rails, so it is best in mild weather. Bring a pad or mattress so you are not lying on the bed liner.
What we like
- Floorless, so it pitches over gear in the bed
- Listed for 2020 to 2026 Gladiator JT
- 2,000mm PU fabric
- Sky view vent for stargazing
Things to know
- Gaps at the tailgate let in drafts and dust
- Easy to confuse with the 110765 and 110730
- Needs your own pad or mattress

Fit Problems to Check on the Jeep Gladiator
A full-size short bed tent is too long
“Short bed” on most listings means a 5.5 ft full-size bed. That is about 6 in longer than the Gladiator’s 60.3 in bed. Order a compact or mid-size short bed size.
Similar Rightline model numbers
Rightline makes the 110765 and the Tall Bed 110766 for mid-size trucks. The 110766 is the one listed for the Gladiator. The full-size 110730 does not fit.
A deep bed
The Gladiator bed is about 34 in deep, deeper than many mid-size trucks. Check that tent straps reach the bed rails, and use a step to climb in.
Wheel wells limit the mattress
There is only about 45 in between the wheel wells. A standard full-size air mattress will ride up on them, so choose one made for mid-size beds.
Tonneau covers, racks and drawers
Napier tents need an empty, open bed, so most covers come off. With a bed rack or drawers, check the strap points or go floorless.
Measure before you order
Measure from the front of the bed to the closed tailgate at floor level. Our truck tent sizing guide walks through it step by step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Size Truck Bed Tent Fits a Jeep Gladiator?
A compact or mid-size short bed tent for 5 ft to 5 ft 2 in beds. Jeep lists the Gladiator bed at 60.3 in long with the tailgate closed. The tents to order are the Napier Sportz 57066, the Napier Backroadz 19066 and the Rightline Gear 110766 Tall Bed.
How Long Is the Jeep Gladiator Bed?
According to Jeep, the Gladiator bed is 60.3 in long with the tailgate closed and 56.8 in wide. Published specs put the space between the wheel wells at about 45 in (44.8 in) and the depth at about 34 in.
Do All Jeep Gladiator Trims Have the Same Bed?
Yes. The Gladiator has been sold as a crew cab with one bed length since it launched for 2020, so a tent that fits a Sport also fits a Rubicon, Mojave or Willys.
Can You Sleep in a Jeep Gladiator Bed?
Yes. With a truck bed tent, two adults fit. The 60.3 in floor is shorter than most people, so these tents are pitched with the tailgate down, which adds the tailgate’s length to your sleeping space. A pad or mattress narrow enough to sit between the wheel wells, about 45 in apart, works best.
Does a Full-Size Truck Tent Fit a Jeep Gladiator?
No. Full-size short bed tents are made for 5.5 ft beds on trucks like the F-150 and Silverado. That is about 6 in longer than the Gladiator’s 60.3 in bed, so the straps and tailgate sleeve will not line up.
Can the Gladiator Cab Connect to the Tent?
The Napier Sportz 57 Series has a rear access panel that opens toward the cab, so you can reach into the truck or run a power cord without going outside. The Backroadz and Rightline do not have one.
Final Verdict
For most Gladiator owners, the Napier Sportz 57 Series in the Compact Short Bed size (57066) is the truck bed tent to buy. It fits the 60.3 in bed, has the best rain rating in this size and adds an awning and cab access.
- Lighter and simpler: Napier Backroadz 19 Series (19066)
- Loaded bed or Rubicon build: Rightline Gear 110766, the Tall Bed version
