I have the SUV tent that is similar. I've only used it twice, but I thought it was well-made.

Well, it is a tent. I had no problem till it got into the 20's. Just got snuggled into a sleeping bag on an air mattress.

I like the one I have. The only suggestion I have is to take a level and some boards to level the truck. Even if it looks level you won't know for sure until you are trying to sleep and end up rolling to one side. Also, if your truck is raised it may lean forward so you would want to raise the front tires. It is the same issue you would have with a shell or a camper. The only down side is that if you are moving alot it gets to be a chore to pitch the tent and strike it each day. I use mine when I am going to stay in one place and won't need to move the truck. The scenario where it is not so good is when I am camping and will need the truck to go to a different area to hunt early in the morning.
No matter how high a duck flies a hammer still breaks a window.
