Looks great! Would it still work with a roll-up tonneau cover?
the way it slopes at the back, I think so. You probably won't have an issue

Here’s a reply I received from Napier on 11/18/22:

Thank you for contacting Napier! Unfortunately, at this time none of our tents are compatible with the Ford Maverick. We are however currently in the prototyping process of creating one that should be available early next year (late February is what its looking like at the moment)! Keep an eye on our socials for a release date. You can find us online at @napieroutdoors. 😊

Anyway these fit perfect. The air mattress comes with a pump and everything, & even some inflatable "pillows"! We turned it 180 from how it would sit in a larger truck and the cutouts just happen to fit perfectly to the Maverick's wheelwells. The tent can be set up by 1 person in about 10 minutes.
Sleeping with your head toward the tent door?

Nope, head towards the cab, feet at the tailgate.

Napier's reply above is hilarious, this tent fits perfectly on the Maverick.

Perfect, I prefer the bears to eat me feet first.

What are the side straps clipped to? Fender and wheel?

Since I don't have my Mav yet (theoretical 12/19 build week) - do you find the suspension settles much at all when loaded with two adults in the bed?

I wonder how well it would hold up for winter camping. I'll have to look around whether their "hunting" targeted product has thicker material for the walls... this could be good with a warm sleeping bag.

Please let me know how it handles condensation if you ever get a chance to take it out close to or below freezing temps.

Hey folks!

I know it's a little late in the season for this, so my apologies for not posting earlier! I have found the perfect truck bed tent for the Maverick as well as a perfectly fitting air mattress! So far I've used the tent & mattress about 5 times over the summer and it has been perfect for myself and my girlfriend. She is a little bit new to "roughing it" and this has helped her enjoy camping a bit more from the security of the truck (especially in bear country!). It's kinda nice to have metal walls on 3 sides and be off the ground, I gotta admit!

Anyway these fit perfect. The air mattress comes with a pump and everything, & even some inflatable "pillows"! We turned it 180 from how it would sit in a larger truck and the cutouts just happen to fit perfectly to the Maverick's wheelwells. The tent can be set up by 1 person in about 10 minutes.

Here are the links, and I'll post some pics below!

Hope this is helpful to those looking for a "turn-key" solution for truck-camping in the Mav!
Would also love to see some pics of that Saygogo SUV mattress inside the tent setup.

Put the keys in a folded over mylar bag like from potato chips. It blocks the proximity effect of moving with the keys.
Wow, thanks for this info. I was wondering why my maverick sounds like a transformer when I get close to it, even 30 minutes after getting out and locking it.

I'd love to see a short video on your YouTube channel that goes over the tent setup and what it looks like from the inside!

I can see that being the SXT, but costing more. I ordered the set up the OP has. I’m betting it will be fine.

Very helpful! You did all the leg work, thank you. Now I just need a truck....14 months wait so far.

How does paint on side of bed under straps stand up? Looks like it would mark up the side of vehicle

the clips on the end of the straps are plastic. No effect at all. Believe me, I ain't doing anything to mess up the paint on my very first new vehicle!
