The back of a truck is not the place to keep your gear!
Stow it properly in a clean, dry, well ventilated place where it will not be subjected to extremes in temp, dirt, or getting bent/spindled/mutilated by things you may pile on top of it.
C'mon... you spent a lot of money on that gear. Take good care of it & it will take good care of you.

Do you mean the trunk of your car or in the open back of a pick up truck?
Either way I'd say no. The trunk of your car gets hotter than you think it does. The heat isn't good for any rubber or silicone parts anywhere on your gear.
Like ~Sub~ mentioned...you paid alot of money for that gear, treat it better than that!
I know it's very convenient to leave gear in your ride. I do it occasionally if I'm diving the next day so I don't have to re-load everything, but my van stays in the garage during the day with the windows cracked a bit.

I wouldn't keep it in your trunk - it might get mixed up with your other gear. Next thing you know you'll be strapping a set of golf clubs to your backplate!!
