    What's the most comfortable way, recline the seat, or use the back 2 seats? Post pics.

    Only in extreme cases. I have 60/40 seats up front, so pulling up the armrest and sleeping across the front bench is the best way that I've found.

    I'd give the whole experience a 2 star rating, though: it's worth the time and effort to build up a bed/storage system in the back. (edit: should have said "bed". My B)

    recline the passenger seat. its really the only way unless you're vertically challenged.

    Not at home, so this is all I have. If you move the board to sit on top of the runners on the sides of the boxes, it leaves about 10" for bag/box/stuff storage and creates a nice sleeping platform on top.

    There is NO comfortable way to sleep in there! If I have to, I just put the seat all the way back and recline as far back as I can and doze a bit.

    Oh, I thought you meant the back of the cab, not the bed

    Seconded . . . I've tried every other way and it's the only one that works.
