He Matt,I don't have any experience with the truck tents,but I've always had good luck with Big Agnes tents,Eureka,Mountain Hardwear, and R.E.I's store brand. The BA's and MH's can get pretty pricey. When I first started backpacking/camping I used REI's brand (mostly because I was new to the hobbie,and didn't know alot then). Once I got more into it I began going with the better quaility ones. Also if you get a chance either stop an REI or get out their site. Both should be very valuable.
