It takes me 5 minutes to set up my $100 popup tent which seems to be made of more sturdy material.

I will never understand truck tents. Tents are awesome, lower cost, standalone structure. There’s a lot to love about tents. The downsides are, no amenities like A/C or plumbing, and you are on the ground (relevant if there are lions or whatever to worry about I guess).
If you have a truck tent, you give up lower cost and standalone structure. I guess you might get A/C as a benefit but you’ll be breathing exhaust from your truck (assuming it’s a non-bazinga truck). Since it’s not standalone, if you need to run into town for hot dogs or drive to a trail head, you have to pack up your tent. Also even with a large sized truck bed it’s a pretty small footprint as far as tents go.
And if you are committed to having a camping/vehicle combo, I bet you can get a used pop-up trailer for not much more than a bazinga tent that solves all these issues.
I just put the seats down in my car to make a bed and sleep in it, if alone. Extremely easy setup and can leave and return quickly if needed.
I don’t understand the need for the car tent and I hate sleeping on the ground, unless it’s warm and sand, so I skip tents altogether. But if I go with a girlfriend or something then we take a tent.
