If you 're talking about something like the vehicle in the net pic below, drop no_one a PM about them as they are hugely popular configuation for 4x4 hunting vehicles in Australia...IIRC they refer to they as "tray backs"

Not sure why they are so popular, but I'm guessing in part it may be that they are reasonably easy to customise or re configure to the individuals needs...

If you search on the 4x4 sections of the various Australian Hunting Forums, you will see some very good looking trucks indeed with al manner of bespoke custom builds on the back.

You mention serious off-roading...in the UK the various small Suzuki's are often used for this and chopped into flat backs.

While they are brilliant off-road, its not a very practical configuration for a hunting truck, but thats just my humble opinion..
