The Jeep Gladiator’s bed measures exactly 60.3 inches in interior floor length, 56.8 inches in total interior width, and 44.8 inches between the wheel wells. Those are the three numbers that determine which truck bed tent fits a Gladiator, and all three differ meaningfully from the dimensions most buyers assume when they search for a…
The Chevy Colorado occupies an interesting position in the truck tent market. It is genuinely capable off-road; the ZR2 trim is one of the most capable factory mid-size trucks available, and the Colorado Trail Boss and Z71 trims have built a loyal overlanding following, but its bed dimensions create a sizing complexity that most truck…
Niphean is not, at its core, a tent company. It’s a stand-up paddle board brand; its own site describes the company as “designed by a team of passionate experts with a strong sailing background,” and its main product lines, rewards program, and blog are all built around paddle boards. The Truck Bed Tent covered here…
VEVOR is a different kind of company than every other brand covered on this site. It isn’t a tent specialist, it’s a global equipment and tools retailer, founded in 2007 in Shanghai, that now sells across more than 30 product categories ranging from power tools and welding equipment to hydroponics gear and forestry equipment.

The camp stove is one of the few pieces of gear where truck bed tent campers have a significant advantage over backpackers and most ground tent campers: weight and pack size are irrelevant. Everything travels in the truck bed. A stove that would be laughably oversized for a backpacking trip, two burners, cast iron grates,…

The mobility and flexibility of dispersed camping. The lower cost relative to a rooftop tent or slide-in camper. What those guides rarely cover with equal honesty…
The honest answer to this question depends on three variables that most tent lifespan guides treat as secondary: what you paid for the tent, how many times per year you use it, and whether you have been doing the maintenance that most people skip. A budget truck bed tent at $80 to $100 realistically lasts…
A camping pillow is the gear item most campers either forget entirely or treat as an afterthought; they stuff a fleece jacket into a stuff sack and call it a pillow, or they spend the night with their head on a rolled sleeping bag, or they bring a full-size memory foam pillow from home that…
There is a specific pleasure in cooking over an open fire that a camp stove cannot replicate, the smell of woodsmoke, the sound of food sizzling on a cast iron grate, the way a foil packet produces steam when you open it after twenty minutes in the coals. For truck bed tent campers, the campfire…
A broken tent pole at a campsite is one of those problems that feels catastrophic in the moment and is usually solvable in under ten minutes with the right knowledge and the right tool. Most truck bed tent pole failures fall into three categories: a cracked or shattered fiberglass section, a bent aluminum section, and…
