Truck laptop computer desks utilize the floor area to install using self tapping metal screws, however, in most cases there is an option to purchase what's called the no-drill model, or custom designed base. This option allows you to remove the existing seat mounting nuts from your passenger seat, then install this custom designed base, which is made to fit your seat bolt pattern. Be sure to specify this when ordering, this allows you to retighten the nuts, firmly locking your desk base onto the passenger seat bolts making a secure mounting system.

You would then position the notebook desk on top of the custom base and follow the manufacturers instructions to assemble the rest of the desk, most are only a few pieces and take minutes to install. High quality mounting systems allow for almost infinite positioning of the desktop, thus using the laptop is much easier. Be sure to see if the keyboard can be reached from both sides of the automobile, used from outside the truck and how long it takes to remove.

What your looking for is the hieght adjustment measurement, or extension length, ask the rep or see if they list it on the information. Again, if it's only ten inches, or even 16", keep looking.
