Im thinking of buying one but want to know If I (6'1") could lie flat in the back with the seats folded down, for camping, The ultimate camping car! no setup, dampness and cold of a tent, no storage towing and maintenace of a caravan, and no cost and lack of versatility of a campervan, just drive somewhere, get pissed, crash in the back!

I know they are one of the biggest, toughest, and most reliable jeeps out there.

Does anyone have one? are u 6 foot? could u nip out and check for me? cheers...

Of course you can sleep in the back of a Hilux Surf. Some people even make babies at the back of that thing. If you don't believe me, you can go try and prove me wrong. I DARE YOU. c'on go do it.

There's just barely enough room to sleep in the back with the seats folded, especially if you don't sleep stretched out. I'm 6'1" as well. A lot of people build sleeping platforms that elevate the bed above the back fender wells for the largest sleeping area. That also allows for storage space underneath the platform. There are quite of few folks who camp out of the back of Surfs/4runners on www.expeditionportal.com/forum.

I went with a sleeping platform for a while but I wanted a bit more space, so I put a pop-up truck camper in the back instead. Mine's an '85 Surf though with the removable hard top though.
