Are there any decent canopy/tailgate tents out there that pack up really small?

I've had a cheapo Academy tailgate tent for 5 or 6 years, it's finally getting ragged enough to be replaced. Are there any decent 10x10s out there that pack up tighter?
I mainly use it when camping to have the cooking area covered.

Does it need to be freestanding? I have this one from Kelty and really like that you can set it up in damn near any configuration-- can use trees, poles, your truck, or combination ( I usually clip one side to my truck/camper and have two poles if no trees). Super useful to angle one side down like a lean-to in bad weather. Doesn't get much lighter or easier to pack.

Would prefer it to be but it's not a deal breaker. This might be what I go to. Trying to reduce how much bull shite ends up packed into my truck. Thanks

Probably pretty well if the sizing is right. I've also used these, and they have different size options.

You looked at just using a truck awning? Not sure if you have a rack system you can attach it to (probably not or you'd already have gone this route). The 270 degree freestandings are pretty sweet.

Haven't looked at them much. I normally camp for a few days and use my truck to get around the WMA. I do have a rack and a camper shell that it'd attach to.
