Definitely cozy for two! Joan and I squeeze in together. Not sure I’d want to do that with most of my buddies. 🙂

I have an aluminum camper top on it and have slept many nights in it. It’s much more convenient than a tent especially on those late-night arrivals at the camping spot or during inclement weather. I have made several modifications including an auxiliary battery and twelve-volt lighting in the back. I have camped extensively in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama. I opted not to build a permanent bunk in the back preferring just to lay down a sleeping mat and bag. Plenty of room for one, two if they are very close friends. Regards and best, John P.

Since then I’ve realized the best part of TruckLife is the tailgate..
My single favorite thing to do in the truck, is sit on the tailgate drinking a beer after run/hike/fish/hunt..
