Great new discovery about my truck.
I had my tape measure in my hand and was loading up my pickup to go out and cut some more wood, when I started thinking about how much more functional my Nissan extended cab pickup would be if I removed the passenger seat.
I thought there might even be enough space to stretch out and lay down there. I measured the space and sure enough, there looked to be enough room for a person who was 5’ 7”.
When I try to recline the seats back in my truck, the headrest touches the back of the cab, keeping it from fully reclining and making for an uncomfortable night.
I looked at the headrest and thought, “It would be good if you could remove the head rest.” Then I noticed a little button on the side of the headrest and pushed it and the headrest popped out.
Once the headrest was removed, the seat reclined fully.
I got a pillow and reclined in my truck for a bit. I laid there for a while and imagined living in the cab of my Nissan.
After awhile I got up and went back to my woodcutting.

I’ve slept in the back of my Explorer sport a time or two, for various reasons. Being able to stretch out semi-comfortably is one of my vehicle requirements.

Oh, me too. I wouldn’t own a vehicle I couldn’t sleep in. When ever I look at a vehicle, I’m always sizing up it’s ability to be converted into a living/sleeping space.
I did live in the back of my truck for awhile but now the back of my truck is usually full of stuff.
I have a cap on my truck bed, but once I took it off to haul a couch and before I put it back on, the bed liner blew away. Ever since then, spray from the road gets in the bed and it smells a little like exhaust back there.
So, finding away to sleep comfortably in the cab was a good discovery.
