Tall people sleeping in 6' beds: options

I'm about 6'4 and have slept in my 6' taco's bed before, but have to do so diagonally which wasn't very fun, and kind of wastes space. I've seen some people build some bed extensions people have made for tacos - usually for 5' beds - and I was wondering what other tall taco owners have done for sleeping in their bed.

I'm considering doing a long trip with my truck and while I may pitch a tent here and there, I may also just crash in my bed so I'm trying to think about how to go about it.

 

Maybe a tent like this that way you get the extra foot of space from the tail gate

That's funny!!

I saw a vid of a guy who was camping out of his Tacoma "2nd gen" and he had a shell but had built a shell that fit within the shell that he was able to pull out and increase his leg room.it had a extra hatch door.

 

You mean this guy? https://youtu.be/n_0NNfovNjI

Before he built the extension he slept cross ways

That's the one.

 

I'm not sure sleeping in a truck bed is fun no matter how tall u are

 

Idk It depends on who your with, especially if they have some excellent funbags.

 

Lol...good point!

I'm also 6'4", and also have the standard 6.2 ft bed. The options are to leave the tailgate open, or sleep diagonally.

If you leave it open, grab one of these https://www.rei.com/product/729007/mombasa-outback-travel-net-double
