Bed tent recommendations for Maverick?

[FortyFiveNorthoods]

We picked up a hard shell rooftop tent early this year. With the way we've setting things up, we've been able to keep all of the bedding we have inside of it. As a result it's quick to set up and doesn't take any of the limited space inside our Alltrack.

First time my bride of >35 years was invited to go camping with me down here in TX, her response was, "why wouldn't we just stay in a hotel?"

Resurrecting an older thread, but I just wanted to confirm that the bed length with the tailgate down is definitely 79 inches. That makes a bed tent and motorcycle hauling totally doable. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Fn9tXeCX5r8L9jtM7

Good day everyone,

First time posting, apologies if this is not the right spot.

I stumbled upon this site and thought it was awesome to see a site dedicated to the Maverick. I'm curious to see what kind of DIY ideas people come up with. This will be the first truck I'll own (technically I'm leasing but still excited).

My build is the XLT hybrid with the lux package.

One of the things I'm hoping to do when I get the Maverick is go on a solo camping trip. I'm trying to look for a tent where I can access the back window and is compatible with the Maverick and looking for suggestions.

The setup I had in mind was putting a sheet of plywood on the wheel housing and sleeping on that (with a foam mattress). I'll have additional support underneath the plywood probably going front to back of the truck bed.

I was looking at this but have no idea on how to choose a tent. Maybe one doesn't exist yet for the size of the Maverick? Any help is much appreciated

I have Smittybilt

SPORTZ DOME TO GO SUV & MINIVAN TENT & Napier Sportz SUV and Minivan Tent is the best options for Maverick.

Reading these posts, i was thinking I would add mine with what my wife once said to me: "Camp? My idea of camping is the Holiday Inn." You beat me to it, Flooding...

I don’t understand the desire to sleep on the roof of your SUV or in the bed of a mini truck… why not put a tent on the ground? Or get a camper?

Critters. Me personally unless space is an issue I'd hook a hammock tent up to the truck. Park it near a tree or bring a post to attach one end of the tent to. Much cheaper and ticks off all the boxes for me anyways.

Has anyone gotten a bed tent yet? My fiends like their Napier tents, but the have full size trucks. I’m hoping for someone else to be the Guinea pig and test fit the smallest available Napier tent on their Maverick.

This is what I received from Napier when I inquired about which tent might fit the bed.

"We currently do not have a model available to purchase that is compatible with the Ford Maverick. However, we are currently in the prototyping process of creating one that will be available near the end of this year/early next year! Keep an eye on our socials for a release date. You can find us online at @napieroutdoors. "
