I have a 1998 T4R and my girlfriend and I are looking to camp more often and were looking into sleeping arrangements. Are there any inflatable beds out there thatg are for specifically for the back area of my runner?

Look at the self inflating air pads also. They can be really comfortable, pack smallish, and they don't need to be as thick, which gives you more head room. An Alps mountaineering comfort series pad is a good example. I have a few of those. They pack larger than the backpacking ones, but that is good because a lot of those are not that comfy.

This what I used for our 4Runner on the platform I built before going to an 4TH. Two set nicely side by side.

I like my https://www.klymit.com/double-v-sleeping-pad.html for the back of my truck. I've not tried it in the 4Runner yet. Pumps up quick with the stuff sack as the bellows. and weighs less than 3 lbs.

I've read a bunch of the Customer Reviews on Amazon. It looks like a lot of people like them, and the others complain of the Klymit pads deflating overnight. What's your experience? Do you think most issues could be due to people not using the valve properly?

So far, I've never woken up on the ground. I have had it get softer and harder as the temp changes. But that is kinda a law of physics and not anything I can hold against the pad. When I first got it the valves were really hard to turn to lock so it could be that they did not get it fully locked. When I did that the deflate was nearly immediate once I laid on it. Paying attn to make sure it "clicked" over and I've not had the problem since.
