Milliard Truck Tent | Standard 6.5ft Bed | (Updated Version Available)

This is a great truck bed tent for the price. The first time that you assemble it may take a little while, but you'll have it done in 10-15 minutes thereafter. The rainfly is kind of a pain to put on, but not too bad if you have a helper. I don't recommend even trying to get it back in the bag before you head home. Just roll it up loosely at the campsite instead of fighting with it. It is much easier to roll tight enough to get into the bag on a clean concrete driveway after you get home than it is on dirt at a campsite.Even if you're over six feet (I'm 6'4"), I STRONGLY recommend bringing a step stool to get in and out. Since the tent goes all the way to the lip of the tailgate, it can be a chore to get in and out of without one.Some other users complained about seams coming undone, but that looks more like misuse than product failure. The flap that sits on the outside of the truck bed doesn't need to be pulled super tight to serve its purpose. Just get it tight enough not to be blown loose by wind and you shouldn't have a problem.

Tested it out indoors before I go out, I appreciate the fact the poles are color coded with their slots.The tarp at the bottom is pretty thick and hardyNothing to excessive. Just the basics. Lantern holder a side pocket, windows, rainfly.The colors are nice that they are a low profile green and nothing flashy, camping isn't a fashion show.I place it above the coleman brand.My #1 favorite part is it is easy to put everything away, usually tents need you to cram andsqueeze every piece into the bag, ripping the zipper, but this brand gives you more than enough room to close everything into it.I also mus add before closing is that it can be used without a truck.I look forward to using it. If possible i will update after a use or two.

I'm writing this review after assembling the tent for the first time. I've yet to spend the night in it.Overall, the tent seems well constructed. The materials seem to be pretty good quality, but fairly light weight.I'd definitely recommend doing a dry run at home before going camping. Assembly isn't difficult but takes some time the first time. First, the instructions are very basic without much detail. I'd recommend watching some videos on YouTube before your first assembly attempt. I didn't find one on this specific tent, but they're all very similar. One difference is the center pole. Unlike most bed tents that have a pole that runs the full length front to back, this one uses a shorter white pole that goes from the center of the tent to the back of the tent and rests in grommets. The poles and pockets are color coded making it pretty obvious where they go. I'd recommend inserting and centering the grey pole that runs side to side at the back of the the tent before installing the white pole, which pinches the grey pole and makes it hard to adjust. Once you have the grey pole centered, install the white pole. Then you can put the grey pole in the pockets. The rest of the assembly is pretty consistent with the YouTube videos I watched. Then there's what usually is the hard part, getting the tent back into the bag! I'm glad to report that the oversized carrying bag makes dis-assembly and storage very easy. It took me less than 10-minutes to take the tent down and back into the bag.

Tent performed better than expected. Took on a weekend trip to lake where there was a thunderstorm with 35+ mph winds. Tent really didn't move. Only items you do have to pay attention to are the straps. The hooks can damage your paint so wrap with some rubber or cloth. This would be a great upgrade in manufacturing. Also, keep the entry strap in the middle of the tailgate loose. I tightened it to make sure it wouldn't move but tore the tent at the seam a bit, my fault. Keeping it loose didn't cause any issues as all other straps were tight.

This tent was perfect. It was incredibly easy to set up and I was surprised at how tall it is inside. Before blowing up our truck bed air mattress I can stand up in the bed of the truck and not hit my head on the tent (I'm 5' 10"). Our first time using it was at the trailhead of Havasupai Falls in November and it got to be in the high 30°'s that night. I was actually surprised at how much condensation build up there was on the tent the next morning. It did, however, prevent us from the wind so that was a huge plus. We were getting compliments about the tent and people asking us where we got it. We are looking forward to using this tent more!

I ordered this tent for a camping/hunting trip. It was delivered quickly, so that was good. But upon opening, I quickly realized this was a used tent. The hooks were rusty and corroded and one of the fiberglass rods had mud on it. The tent worked well and was set up easily. I stayed in it for 3 days/2 nights and it was pretty comfortable. Here in Texas it is HOT at night (like still 90 degrees) and this tent, with the help of a tent fan, was not bad at all. The mesh windows and door allowed for pretty good ventilation. I probably would order this tent again, but I would avoid this seller because of the tent having been obviously used. The biggest negative for the actual tent is the zippered bag it comes in is totally worthless. Really, really thin material that makes it very hard, almost impossible, to zip while you’re trying to stuff the tent back into it. I am going to get a bigger duffel bag so that I can re-pack it easily instead of having to go through the absolutely anger-inducing task of getting it into the bag. Lol. I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado SWB truck, and it got very well. I have a tonneau cover on my bed, and it still fit very well. Time will tell if it holds up. Seems like zippers might be a weak link, but they did work and have not broken yet. And one last “negative “ is that the metal hooks that hold it down will scratch the paint of your truck. Next time I use it I am going to cut up a shop rag or something and put under each hook so that they won’t rub. Unfortunately one scratch was pretty deep and visible.
