any drawbacks to mounting a rooftop tent on a rack in the bed of the truck?

other than losing some hight interns of storage in the bed there aren't other drawbacks. In fact, I would say it is the best place to mount a rooftop tent. You do not destroy the truck aerodynamics, centre of gravity is kept low, it is easier to climb on it and easier to install
