Actually......
Not trying to start anythng, but if you've never used a truck tent, how can you be so sure the ground tents are better?
Personally I like the fact that can I crank the truck, open my sliding rear window and get either A/C or heat to blow in the tent. Or I can run power cords through there and charge my cell phone/laptop/etc. In reality it's just a regular tent, you can pop it off the truck and put it on the ground in about 30 seconds. The difference is you can't take a regular tent and toss it in your bed like this one.

I dont have the sliding rear window, but I bet that is way cool for the AC! I am a hot natured s.o.b. and we always have a long extension cord and box fan for the tent when we hit the river. I think we are getting a pop up this summer. 
But sex in the ground tent was still better.
Much more room to get it on.

only if you don't know how to camp out in a tent.
A ground sheet does wonders. MAking sure you don't camp at the bottom of a hill does wonders too.
Besides, a metal pickup bed absorbs no moisture. Anything that gets under the tent in the rain will stay there.
