    Does anyone know where you can get a tent that will go on the tailgate and over the truck like a regulure tent.

    I have a canopy on my truck and the one i need is like a regular tent. one side of the tent goes over the back tailgate and the roof so you can use the tent and the inside of the box. I have a 2009 tacoma.

    Do you want a tent that attaches to the rear tailgate area with a floor on the ground behind the vehicle - or - just something to cover the rear tailgate area?

    Below is what I'll be using this summer. It's a DAC Camper / Canopy Tent for a full-sized pickup.

    Seeing the Envoy XUV is discontinued, I contacted Napier as to seeking a replacement option they came back with the suggestion their Sportz Cove awning as being compatible. The Sportz Cove is normally designed for SUV’s but it also works with compact trucks that have a shell on top. The model needed would be the 61500, which has material in the design to accomodate the drop down tailgate.

    Has anyone gone this route, any pictures.

    This is the one I use. Prefer it over full tent design because you don't have to remove anything., there's no floor. The cooler, bed etc. can all stay put Even fits over my folded, mounted, trifold hard tonneau.
