I will,
. Though I agree with your statement I am not shy about the 2nd and 3rd gen shortcomings. 
The bed cover I have is the one I bought for my 2021 Tacoma. Now it does cover the entire open part of the bed BUT it doesnāt fit the entire width of the bed. It doesnāt go over the plastic black part on the sides of the bed. It does job for now because I need it for next month. I didnāt want the dealer to have to when I spent $700 on it. Once theyāre available Iāll sell it and the proper one. I got mine from Rough Country.
Iām in CA too. Southern CA where we get a lot of rain once or twice a year. But itās a truck so itās okay. Just keep it clean after it rains. The cover is great for traveling. But even with a cover a little water still gets in. Not an insane amount. More like a glass of water spilled in it.
Would it be possible to get a pic? I am in the same boat and have not been able to measure the 24 vs my 21 to see how it would fit.
So you can see that the cover does go over the sides or back of the truck. When it was on my 2021 Tacoma it covered the sides completely. So I got some rubber tubing and stuffed it in the open space between the cover and truck. This is fine for now until I can my hands on one built for the truck. Iām sure I can sell this once for a good amount. Like I said, I just didnāt wanna give it to dealer for what I paid for it. We got some rain a couple of weekends ago and after it stopped I checked and water didnāt get in as much as I thought. But Iām going on a trip next month and I wanted to put my luggage in the back without worrying about strapping it down.
Yeah my cover sits right on top of the rails that hold it up. Toyota has one for sale if you wanna drop $1,200. Iām going to wait until the company I bought mine from makes them. Iām not concerned about water getting in but more so to keep things from flying away.Thank you very much for the picks. The cover I have sits on top of the rails (looks like yours did as well but hard to tell) so until I can measure the inside of the sides to compare to two years I believe I will be toast. I had enquired with the company I had bought the hard tri fold cover from and they list it as fitting both.......now I am not sure. Once again thank you for taking the time to post the pics. Greatly appreciated
I will have to wait as well. $1200 US is $1620 CAN plus the ridiculous tax on it which brings it up to $1830 vs $599 if I wait.....
Hey. Thanks for asking for update. So far Iām still loving the truck. There are some minor bugs in the trucks software for the cluster but itās mainly just the screens changing on their own from how you set it up. Itās a small thing that bugs me but Iām sure once more people make noise about it theyāll update the software. In 5 days Iāll have had the truck for a month and so far I canāt say anything negative about the truck. I swapped out the air filter for the TRD air filter. Finally got my all weather mats. Iāve tried to keep an open mind and not be bias and find the negative but I canāt. Iām learning more about how the harnesses work with the AUX switches that come pre-installed and pre-wired thought out the truck. Tacoma has always been a good truck. Iāll be leaving on a tip to northern Arizona this Friday so Iām excited to see how that trip is as far as comfortability and how the truck holds up and the MPG. I donāt have an issue with the size of the truck. Iāve got small children so it works. And my wife has a Telluride so thatās the family car. Lot of people ask me why I just didnāt get the Tundra. My response is always the same āIf I wanted the Tundra I would have gotten the Tundra.ā But people donāt understand how us Tacoma guys are. Glad to hear youāre going from a FORD (Find On Road Dead) to a Toyota. Youāll be happy. Itāll definitely outlast the Ford.
Fantastic to hear! Been a long time Toyota guy , I just went with Ford for 0% financing and give them another shot. I love the truck but I do not trust it past 50K miles. That's why I am moving on. My favorite truck I ever had was a 04 Tundra Access cab. About the same size of a new Tacoma. I have 3 kids that will be getting their Drivers License in the next 4 years. So this next truck needs to last , ill be buying their cars not me new ones haha.. A couple months (8) back my parents needed to borrow my truck for the weekend. So I took their 2023 Camry and I loved how agile it was, I could park anywhere , couple kids can fit in the back and the MPG was way better than my 17 in my ford. So thought to myself man if it only had a bed. Fast foward through many test drives with the 23 Tacoma and 24 Tundra. I just didn't love the look of the tundra , and it's huge I really want a smaller vehicle. I liked the 23 Tacoma just needed updated. But I loved the tech inside the tundra so I really feel 24 Taco is the best of both worlds for me. If I'm going on short trip I can throw a couple kids in back and they will survive for an hour or so. When traveling far we take the Sienna anyways. How is the lane centering on the Tacoma? the wife's Sienna is not very good but its also a couple versions older. its a 21 Sienna. Excited for Key Card and all the tech.
