    So i was a little hesitant to get this truck tent due to it being for a 2004 and earlier Toyota Tacoma, so i said what the heck i bought it anyway couldn't beat the price and ordered it from Costco.com took a week to get and heres the product on my truck. it fits good if i had more time to mess with it i would have been a tighter fit. It comes with an awning with heavy duty poles and a nice carrying bag to keep everything nice and neat in.The actual tent for our year trucks would be the Sports III but as you can see i saved some money for this one, the Sports III is suppose to give you more head room and i believe a window in the back so you can still have access to the sliding window of the truck.

    I know this post is kinda old but I just bought a Sportz tent III not too long ago used off craigs for $100. One thing is that the guy lost the directions and didn't have enough time to show me how to put it together. So I brought it home and put it up myself, took a little but I think I figured it out for the most part. One question I had was how does this tent go around the tailgate? I was trying to figure it out by your pics. Thanks for any help.
