The quick answer

We recommend the Joytutus Semi-Automatic Truck Bed Tent for pickup owners who want to be set up in minutes. Price $129.99; $110.49 with code SEBASTIANBASSOL (15% off). Best for pickup owners who want a fast-setup, two-person truck bed tent with a shade awning.

Our verdict

A two-person truck tent that pops open like an umbrella.

We recommend the Joytutus Semi-Automatic Truck Bed Tent for pickup owners who want to be set up in minutes. Pre-assembled poles open like an umbrella, so you unfold the tent and secure the front support pole instead of threading a full pole set. A detachable awning adds a shaded space over the tailgate, a mesh roof gives you a view of the stars, and a rainfly with PU2000mm 210D Oxford fabric protects the sleeping space in changing weather. It comes in three bed-length versions starting at $129.99, which is a good price for a tent that fits your truck. The trade-offs are that it sleeps two and that you need to pick the right size for your bed.

Who should buy this truck tent?

This tent suits pickup owners on road trips, fishing trips, and weekend camps who want to sleep in the bed instead of on the ground. If you want a hard shell on the roof, see our Joytutus hard shell rooftop tent.

Bed sizes and price

Joytutus offers the tent for mid size short beds (5 to 5.2 feet) at $129.99, full size short beds (5.5 to 5.7 feet) at $139.99, and full size standard beds (6.4 to 6.6 feet) at $149.99. The product description says it fits most 5.5 to 5.8 foot beds, so check the exact variant in the size guide.

Setup

The frame is pre-assembled. You unfold the tent over the bed, open the umbrella-style frame, and secure the front support pole, then attach the rainfly and awning. Practice at home before a trip to get your setup time down.

Weather and ventilation

The fabric is 210D Oxford with a PU2000mm coating and reinforced seams, with a rainfly for wet weather. A large mesh roof panel and mesh windows improve airflow. Use the wind ropes in gusty weather, and read our guide on pitching a tent in wind and rain.

Price and the Joytutus code

Joytutus lists the tent from $129.99 depending on bed size. Our Joytutus reader code takes 15% off on the official store. Paste it at checkout and check the total before paying.

Why we like it.

Fast to set up

Pre-assembled poles open like an umbrella, so you unfold the tent and secure the front support pole. That is a quick arrival at camp compared with a tent that needs every pole threaded.

A shaded space at the tailgate

The detachable awning adds a 3.6 by 5.1 foot shaded area for cooking, relaxing, or storing gear, and it can be used as a sun shelter over the tailgate.

Comfort details for two

A mesh roof panel lets you see the sky, mesh windows and doors move air, and pockets and a ceiling hook keep small items off the bed.

A few things to consider.

Choose the right bed size

Three versions fit mid size short beds, full size short beds, and full size standard beds. Measure the inside of your bed with the tailgate up and compare it with the Joytutus size guide.

Sleeps two

Joytutus designs it for two campers. If you camp with more people, pair it with an SUV tent or a ground tent.
