You are sleeping on a slope right? How did that feel?

Why are all these Mach-E owners sleeping in their cars, did their wives/girlfriends kick them out? :wink:

You never watched a sundown on a gorgeous beach day and then considered how cool it would be to stay overnight and watch the sunrise? ?

Sleeping in the back of a Mach-E? Nope.

We love exploring places, finishing the day at the hotel, with a hot shower, nice bed, and breakfast in the morning.

I do think that sitting in comfort, mosquito free, to watch a meteor shower through the vista roof is appealing, but at 6'1" I'd not be inclined to want to sleep there.

I can confirm the tint is too dark to see the meteors through the roof. We watch the Perseids every year and need to be out of the car to see them.

Bummer! I was looking froward to the next meteor shower to experience it mosquito free. Now I'll never get my wife out to see them. (She is a mosquito super-magnet.) Thanks for letting me know so I can sleep in.

Tldr. With the seats forward you want a 70 inch car mattress. You want the car version with filling spaces for behind the seats and a cut out for the rear well. At 5'11" i couldn't quite lie straight and comfortable but a little angled was great. Most comfortable night "camping" i have ever spent. Protip, use the phone app to close the hatch most of the way but not all the way.
