Sleeping in Truck vs. Tent?

My wife is DEATHLY afraid of bears, so sleeping in the truck was a simple answer to that, as well as packing up camp in about five minutes. The memory foam mattress was a plus but any more than two and a tent would defiantly be in order.

FYI a queen size IKIA SULTAN FIDJETUN fits mint, rear door handles touch and the front seats need to be slid forward while sleeping but im 6' 6" and only my wife had to squish;)

Its made with 1"x1" box steel with an expanded metal bed. It's only tied into four existing points, the front seat risers and the third row bars "bought an extra set to weld to" 12 bolts and its SOLID. I weigh 250 and it only flexes slightly when i sit near the tailgate. The fridge is just the right height to put your feet on so you really don't lose much there.
