Abstract: A pressurization system for pressurizing a covered bed of a pickup truck features an opening in the truck bed closed by a perforated grill and a duct extending from a vent at a rear of the cabin to the opening in the bed. The vent at the rear of the cabin communicates an inside of the cabin with an outside so that air inside is discharged to the outside. As such, the duct is disposed externally of the cabin and thus conveys to the covered bed the air which is discharged from the cabin through the vent.
