i don't have any personal experience with them but i had a customer when i worked at the chev dealership that had one and he had real good things to say about it. i can't put one in my truck because of the overhead console and dome light, but if i could i would.

the one i saw was in an avalanche.
i'm picturing a toyota pickup that i already don't have enough room in now with stuff hanging off the roof that i'm gonna hit my head on now.
my guess is the truck's too small for it to be comfortable.

littlebuf - aren't you too tall for a overhead rack inside a toy?  I would think you would hit your head on it based on your heighth.  Me on the other hand - I think I could stack them a couple deep, and still not hit my head.
