One note: on the box it said my generation of Tacoma would require the full size version, but I went with the mid size based off of a few reviews here. It was the right choice. I also found the fitting to be pretty flexible, meaning I think I this would still work with a high top. I'm planning on getting roof racks at some point and I'm pretty sure this will work just fine over the top of them.
The installation was a breeze, the price was nice, and the quality of the materials is great. I have a feeling I'll be getting a lot of use out of this!

I bought the mid sized option and as you can see by the pictures, it is perfect. I only wish there were other color options, but it is just fine.
I spent a weekend in Pennsylvania at the "Soggy Bottom Motofest" where 300+ dirt bikers, adventure bikers, and dual-sport riders were camping and got a lot of great comments about my setup.
I also want to mention that set up takes less than 3 minutes after a time or two. I highly recommend.

1) The zippers snag very easily. You must take your time and also run a finger under the zipper flap to keep it from snagging. This can be a pain getting in and out, especially if you have an urgent call of nature....
2) One single use and you can see threads already coming loose. I will likely get a heavy duty needle and fishing line and put "tacks" on all of the joints like in this picture.
3) WATERPROOF IMMEDIATELY! It's not so much the rain as standard tent wicking. One night it rained pretty heavy and I was perfectly dry. The second night there was a heavy dew and I got my back soaked crawling out where it touched the tent. I just sealed all of the seams and gave it a couple of coats of camp dry, hopefully that helps.
4) The cost is about double what it should be. Great tent...but still.

2. beyond easy to put up.
3. easy to store, about the size of 2 footballs.
4. Cool White top color with blue front material
5. large zippers
6. Fits my 2012 Tacoma ( 5 ft bed ) with cab height Snug Top perfect
I suggest a person gets a couple old tent poles to help hold the canopy lid open. It did pull down on it a bit. We also used tennis balls for the ends of the poles so they didn’t scratch anything. If you have a longer box on your truck. This might not be a problem. The box on my Toyota is only 5 ft long.
Other than that, it worked great. Kept weather out…and wild animals too! Comes down quick too.
Note: If you're running a softtopper, you'll need to pole out the rear canopy since it relies on a ridged tailgate to support it. Telescoping Trekking poles work well for this.

Es ist etwas breiter als mein Hardtop, aber besser als zu klein. Durch die Gummibandbefestigung ist es sehr flexibel und einstellbar.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2022
Das Problem liegt imho in den lediglich zwei erhältlichen Größen, wobei diese (kleinere) Variante für meinen Navara nur so mittelmäßig passt.
Genauergesagt ist die Breite zwar nahezu perfekt, aber durch die zu geringe Höhe des Zeltes kann der obere Teil der Heckklappe einfach nicht weit genug aufschwingen, wodurch der Einstieg zwar grundsätzlich möglich, aber doch etwas umkomfortabel ist. Denke das wird bei ähnlichen Maßen einen großen Teil der europäischen Pickups betreffen.
Leider sind auch - obschon auf den ersten Blick wertig anmutend - nach ein paarmal Benutzen die Reißverschlüsse kaputt und gehen nach dem Schließen immer wieder auf.
Eigentlich schade, denn bei besserer Qualität und passender Größe wäre das Zelt konkurrenzlos top!
