20 Best Toyota Tacoma Mods (2022 Updated)

These step bars are just as pictured and easy to install. They are a huge improvement over the factory step bars in look and functionality. My wife can now easily get in the truck and they look great.

Great value for the money on my Tacoma.

The items came just as described all washers and bolts were easily recognized. They lined up with bolt holes on truck and installation was easy. Job complete and wife was driving 30 minutes later with nothing but smiles on her face.

The side step exceeded my expectation. Gave my Tacoma a new look and my wife can get it with ease. The installation was super easy. Took me only 35 minutes to install alone. Says not to take about customer service but I have to say they went over the top to help me with an issue with my order.

You made a loyal customer out of me. Highly recommend.

I took my time and read the directions a couple of times. Placed all the parts on the bed of the truck and slowly put it together. I’m too old to be doing things fast and incorrectly. Once I finished and looked it all over I was very pleased.

It looks awesome. Very Happy with the purchase.

I have had two other tonneau covers on previous vehicles. Both were other brands and did an adequate job but the Truxedo Lo Pro was easier to install correctly and was a perfect fit for my Tacoma. The mechanism for attaching the rails is specific to the Tacoma rails and provides a very secure and clean installation.

The fit of the cover after installation was absolutely perfect without any adjustment. This cover also has the seals that will make the inside of the bed virtually waterproof when the cover is closed.

I would highly recommend this cover for Toyota Tacoma owners who want the full use of the bed which is not available with the Toyota OEM fold up cover.

This is my third Tacoma where I have used the Truxedo cover. All excellent and functional. They have been easier to install each time. This one is on my 2016 Tacoma TRD Off Road machine. The vehicle specific installation hardware made a quick 35 minute job of it.

I would like to see them make a more sun resistant rubber seal at the tailgate. My first two cover seals on my 98 and 08 Tacomas deteriorated and crumbled away in 2-3 years. The rest of the tops wore well and looked great considering my trucks are parked outside 24-7-365 for 8 years or more in NE Ohio.

Bought this for my 2006 F150. Was a good price, but wasn’t sure of the quality but I decided to order because Walmart would allow a return to a store in case it was not up to par. It was delivered within a week.

The packaging was very good. I was pleasantly surprised at the quallity of the product. It came with all the parts and had no damage or blemishes. It is very solid and was easy to put together. The only wrinkle in the purchase is that the day after it was delivered, the online price was reduced $50.

I am going to contact Walmart to see if they will honor the new price. Other than that, I am very pleased with the product.

High quality product at a great price. Shipped even faster than expected! Love the roll up tonneau cover for ease of use, secure attachment and aerodynamics at high speeds. Best with bed liners that go under the rails, though.

I was going to use this for my Colorado that has a drop in bed liner going over the rails but I did not want to cut or drill into the liner to install the tonneau cover. Would recommend for anyone else though.

The cover seems to be built well. I gave it 4 stars because the instructions are 90% useless. If you like puzzles then you can figure out how to put the cover onto the truck bed. If you are looking for waterproof thus one is not.

It does keep a good bit of the rain out, but not all. For security of keeping things in the truck bed safe it should do very well. Could there be better out there? Sure but not for the price of this one.

The guy on the phone at auto anything was totally awesome! We needed a cover for our truck fast and he made that happen. We went with the hardcover b/c it offered greater protection. We took it to the Oregon Coast in crazy downpour.

Everything stayed completely dry! We also noticed a significant bump up in our gas mileage! We went back and forth on canopy v. tonneau. So glad we went with this. Folded it up the other day to haul wood that hung out the back.

So far, we are very happy with it.

I had scoured the internet for a tonneau cover, before settling on this one from Autoanything. com. It was the best value for the money. It also said it was easy to install. Well, it came with these brackets that were supposed to slide into the side rail system that came with my 2019 Toyota Tacoma.

BUT, they were too tight on the ends. I ended up putting some hand lotion on them, and that enabled me to slide them on. So it took me almost two hours to install. Looks good though!.

The fit isn,t great. If you tighten it down flat in the back, the tailgate hits on the rubber seal and won’t close. Moving it all the way forward doesnt help either as to get the seal to not interfere, there has to be a gap in the back.

Not good either. If you fiddle with the tension of the back clamps, you can get it ok, but it doesnt sit totally flat on the bed. However it doesnt leak and the slight nonfit isnt real noticeable. It works fine, the price is good, Fit a bit disappointing.

overall good quality however it arrived with a broken buckle clip and a missing bed rail spacer necessary for installation. lost 2 weeks unable to install cover due to this. still waiting on missing spacer to arrive.

manufacture needs to pack product better for shipping and improve quality control on its products. lost a lot of time making phone calls just to remedy this situation just to save a couple hundred dollars over other products on the market.

would probably spend a little more on something else to avoid this situation if I had a do over. it seems to be built well and it is priced well for a hard cover tri fold. so i have mixed feelings. will probably feel better when its finally installed on my truck.

The color matched my vehicle perfectly. The instructions were clear and specific to my truck. A couple of minor adjustments and the cover operates flawlessly. It really looks great.

1st off Autoanything has the best customer service of any auto after market products out there. This is my 2nd large purchase and they go above and way beyond to make you happy. As far as the cover, the paint is a perfect match and it fits like a glove.

The directions could be a little better. Also, Undercover needs to put more time and effort into packaging the cover. The cardboard box its shipped in isn’t very sturdy and the cover is only wrapped in a very thin material.

Description matches what I needed. I used an Apex 12000 winch. Made a quick tiktok as TheMillennialUser on search installing this in a quick video. The fit was tight so I go shorter bolts for the brackets and chose 8.

8 grade hardware and used the supplied nut and lock washers. I only had to trim a small section off my latch support because my winch had a high profile and was wide. The winch plate totally matched the bolts for my winch and the bumper looks good on the truck.

If I used a normal winch I wouldn’t require any mods and it makes me comfortable to recommend this to anyone. There’s minor gaps on the side but this is heavy steel not plastic that can easily be molded.

But its a certified fit without modifications needed with average winches. The packaging made me a returning customer. They added foam pads molded around the bumper and still wrapped it individually.

Never seen such care for a product like this before. Highly recommend it as a customer.

DV8 has once again proven themselves. The packaging was outstanding, everything packed nicely and easy to remove from the box, as well as the protection around each piece. The hardware box was actually intact and all there, unlike some other parts I have ordered previously.

Overall happy with DV8. The look of this bumper is outstanding, the gap between the bumper and plastic didn’t bug me. The only thing that did make take a second look was that the bumper rubbed some paint off of the plastic, so if a rubber strip could be put in place along the edge, that would be GREAT! Other than that, I’m happy with how it turned out and the look of my truck with this additional mod!.

This took 4 hours to install. I worked alone. I previously installed a front receiver and that had to come off. My 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport had extra parts on my truck compared to the Extreme Terrain installation video, which was an unpleasant surprise.

Not complaining because the bumper came with zero instructions. The video helped immensely. Also, the electric ratchet wrench in the video worked on all bolts easily without muscling at all, which definitely was not real world.

One thing I did when that really helped me when reassembling was to group various screws and bolts and label from where they came. There were no 10 mm bolts for the AC cooling coil relocation. This video did not include the installation of the lighting mounts.

The video completes and I had this light mount laying on the garage floor. I had to loosen up the front of the bumper and painstakingly install the light mount. That would have been way easier to install before mounting the bumper and bolting in.

No place for your license plate. I have magnet license plate mounts coming. I did not install my winch. I do not like having it on board all the time. This is the one major failing of all of these truck front bumpers.

You cannot easily install and uninstall the winch, like I could with my Jeep Wrangler. Good luck with your mod.

Purchased and installed on a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT with factory spray in bed liner. Ordered on a Friday night and Saturday morning had a tracking number! FedEx delivered on Monday, wow super fast shipping and delivery!!! I wanted a low profile tri-fold with urethane finish to provide great protection.

Overall it looks very good except for some areas along the edges which I will use black touch up paint. It provides good amount of water resistance but particularly on the multi pro tailgate area is where it leaks.

I’m happy overall.

I always opted for fiberglass caps on my trucks. I changed, in part, due to a desire of not wanting a truck looking like an SUV, which happens now that truck cabs are styled more like cars and caps flow almost seamlessly from that design.

I especially appreciate a cap’s ability to keep things dry, even while bemoaning the times I wished I could get tall or bulkier items into the bed. This cover keeps things dry, is easy to remove, and lets the truck look like a truck.

It fit perfectly.

Why I chose this one? Rails are completely out of sight. I hate the edge and hinge molding on similar tonneau covers that don’t blend in. I could not find much on the difference in finishes. Went with black urethane.

In matches my spray in bed liner quite well and has a texture that appears durable and tough to scratch.

Cover looks good and installed ok. I’m only giving 3 stars because of packaging. I think I was sent an open box item. In the box I received instructions for installing a rough country lift kit. The parts were in Ziploc bags.

After installing the frame onto truck and started putting cover onto rails. I found that the head rail and tailgate rail were both missing a tab for holding cover in place. I had to take the frame back off of truck.

I found the missing tabs loose in the box. I was able to put those tabs onto the rails. Overall happy with the cover, frustrated with everything else.

The quality of materials used to make this cover is not reflected by the price. This is my third cover and by far the lightest and easiest to use. The company has been around for a long time so getting parts (if you need them) will not be a problem.

My wife finds this soft cover to be easier to work than the hard cover and had and the previous soft cover. It is backed by a great warranty for years of trouble free use. It is no where near as secure as the hard cover I had, but for the most part it is out of sight out of mind when it comes to stuff in the bed of a truck.

I have been out of town with a $1,500 mountain bike in the back under this cover and I still have my bike. Great looking and light are the best features of this cover.

Cover does not fit tight. The tarp is too big. The bows have very little arc to them and the cover just flaps in the wind. Extang wants a serial number that is on the box which I do not have, without the serial number they will not do anything.

I would not recommend buying this cover.

Impressed with quality for the price. The ease of folding and the engagement of the lockdowns was very easy. It took me a minute to figure out the correct direction to install, but once figured out, it was a breeze.

Great material as well. Looks amazing on my 2020 Tundra. There was also great service when calling to order. They answered all my questions immediately. Thanks team for the great support and product.

Not the best pic, but only one during this review.

Very pleased. Has smooth look of a soft cover but security of a hard cover. Latches could be a little more substantial but should hold up if you’re careful and use is not too frequent. Would be better with same quick release latches (rather than screw down type) at front behind cab to make easier to remove entirely.

Also could benefit from mid section latches to help make more secure and wind proof. As designed only has attachments at front and back with nothing in middle.

I was torn between a Leer Topper or a Tonneau cover. I really didn’t want to lose the height with a topper, but I liked the security of being able to lock things up while traveling. After through research I decided on the Lund “hard” trifold tonneau cover.

Excellent choice for all my needs. Light weight. Secure. Very easy to install. It took more time to open the box than installation.

The assembly instructions aren’t very clear but it goes together logically, all the parts were there and they fit exactly as they should. It it amazingly convenient. It can be opened as far as you need or all the way.

The same for closing. I have used it to close on long boards where it was sturdy enough to hold them in place during trips. I wish I had this much earlier and I would have saved myself a lot of inconvenience trying handle the factory tonneau cover.

which was a bear to lock in place and relock everytime I needed access to the truck bed. The only down drawbacks are the space lost to the mechanism and the fact that it isn’t waterproof. There are some large open gaps at the tailgate.

The Bedlocker is an expensive item by my standards, so I was hesitant to make the purchase but did so because my wife will be using the truck, which is tall and she is short. I installed the cover by myself and was pleased with the simplicity and reliability of the design.

Everything fit together as it should, without issue. All the components in the kit were excellent quality, as they should be for an item in this cost range. The power cord was housed in a durable breathable nylon fabric which speaks to the attention to detail.

I have a Roll-N-Lock on a second truck and it has performed very well over the last 5 years. It is a manual open-close model, which a short person would have some effort with using. The electric operation of the Bedlocker is going to be a very nice upgrade.

The only issue I have found is with one of the remote controls. When depressing the close button, the edge of the button wants to catch under the plastic housing. You have to be deliberate to press directly down on the button to prevent this.

The rest of this review will have to wait another 5-10 years – to determine the reliability of the motor and drive train.

The installation was a challenge because I needed to install a 1″ spacer on each side of the bed rail for it to fit properly. I also ended up using self tapping screws to secure the rails to the inside of truck bed because the clamps did not work with the 1″ spacers on each side.

Once installed, the automatic feature worked very well and with the Bed Rug installed earlier made my truck bed easy to access and a pleasure to use being that I’m not hauling aggregate, dirt or rubbish.

The Bed Rug and the Pace Edwards BedLocker Tonneau “Automatic” Cover turned the bed of my truck into a very useful trunk space. I would highly recommend these products provided you have other trucks to haul dirt and junk.

Overall pretty impressed by this cover for the price. I think the whole bed rail/track thing that Toyota has done with these beds is complete garbage, but there isn’t much I can do about it. I was Leary of ordering because of the rail system but everything I needed was included.

I didn’t make any changes or have to mod anything. All the brackets and things I needed were included. The material of this cover is actually much better than the extang I had on my f-250. We will see as time goes how she holds up.

To anyone considering this cover, just order it. It’s nice and does the job. The only complaint I have is the back of the cover near the tail gate. The seal doesn’t exactly hit the gate lip. It touches but it’s just not centered over it like I would like it to be.

In order to achieve dead center the cover would actually have to hang over the back bed panels. Everything else centers right. With that being said, I don’t think there is anything this company can do about that either.

It’s the way Toyota made the bed. Update 3/18/12: It rained pretty good yesterday and much to my surprise, the bed was really dry considering the little spots on each corner of the bed the have daylight coming through.

I also got to take the truck on highway speeds today as I have a 45 mile drive to work and this cover didn’t even act like it wanted to move. I seen earlier reviews that suggested movement from the front of the cab.

Not the case here. I am also going to try and upload some detailed photos to give individuals a better idea of installation. Hope this helps.

This product was easy to install, IF, you use the attachments provided with the type of vehicle you have. I struggled with this for close to an hour and finally looked in the bag and there it was, the attachments for my existing rail (2005,Tacoma, dbl cab).

The hardest part of fitting the tonneau cover was the clamp down location. (3 slots at each location). It was just a matter of choosing the right one and then unscrewing/screwing them back together. This cover is easy to remove when you need the whole bed to transport stuff and easy to reattach after.

The only drawback to this system since it is easily removed is that you must purchase a locking tailgate unless it comes standard with the truck. My 2005 did not come with a locking tailgate and I purchased one back in 2006 so I had no problems.

You will not be disappointed when buying this item.

So the giant box arrives which is always a good sign that very little assembly will be required. Nicely protected inside with foam and cardboard. Threw out the instructions, took off my utility rail tie downs and set it on top the bed up by the cab.

I slid the aluminum rail adapters in the rail and they fit perfectly. I unfolded the cover and began eyeing it for alighment. The front needed the foam strip as expected and it was positioned for securing.

No issues, took maybe 1/2 hour to install, could be removed in 5 minutes. The good: price, quality, ease of install, seal, performance in wind. The meh: fit, my 09 Tacoma has tapered bed sides, bowed out in the middle and the tonneau is straight.

This may bother some anal retentive types. If you have linear symmetry issues, you need to spend another $500. The bad: none, I like it.

*BUYER BEWARE* – Classic Truck Online, the vehicle fitment confirmed that the tonneau cover would fit my classic truck. I called customer service, who beat a competitor’s price and I was happy with the purchase process.

The cover then did not ship on time, nor was the status updated online. I called and was told it would be shipped two weeks later. When it arrived, I spent hours placing the very heavy cover onto my truck.

IT DID NOT FIT CORRECTLY. I took photos, boxed it back up and requested a return. I was directed to call and speak with the manufacturer (Pace Edwards) to troubleshoot. When I called and spoke with the rep, he was extremely rude, argumentative and demanded that I put on the cover incorrectly, as the cover is made to fit any vehicle.

I explained that I wasn’t satisfied with a $2,300 purchase being forced to fit slanted, out of alignment, with gaps where water could enter (as I was moving to the mountains, with a heavy snow season).

The conversation looped and I hung up very frustrated. Following, were multiple calls and emails with Auto Accessories Garage customer service. They were always friendly, but the process drug out over two weeks and multiple times I was told that I wouldn’t’ be able to return the cover because the manufacturer wasn’t going to accept a return.

I didn’t purchase from Pace Edwards, I purchased from Auto Accessories. After many hoops and me continuously advocating for myself, the return was finally accepted, though I was charged a shipping return fee.

A lot of time, energy, anxiety and hassle for something that didn’t fit in the first place. “No-Hassle Returns” as the website states, surely wasn’t the case for me.

I was pleasantly surprised with this product. Installation was fairly easy with 2 people. Instructions were simple and easy to follow. I have had it on my truck for just over a week now. I am happy with the quality, and the ease of operation.

This cover seems to be rugged, and well built. It feels sturdy and stable when opening and closing. I do wish it was more water tight where the cover meets the tailgate, but I can fix that fairly easy with some rubber trim.

Overall, a nice product that is functional and looks good on the truck. Well worth the money for the security, and value this cover provides.

Super cute. I ordered up a size based on review, and I’m glad I did. Only problem it’s handwash, seriously a handwash sweatshirt? But I love it.

The first cover arrived damaged-one of the bars was bent and did not lay flat when the cover was unrolled. Also, one corner cover that goes over the tailgate broke off in my hands. I reported the problems and received excellent customer service with the replacement.

When the replacement arrived none of the bars were bent, but the same corner cover was already broken off when I unrolled the cover the first time. I gave up and gorilla-glued it to the corner. I love the cover and don’t regret buying it.

But, BAK needs to work on shipping so the corner cover isn’t compromised when it arrives. However, it is what the pictures look like and I felt like I got the product I ordered. Except for the corner, the quality is great.

Easy install, fits well, good materials. The quality control on it or potentially the design itself is not so good. When rolling up the teeth will on the closest few slates come out of being locked and I have to finangle it to go back into place to lock it back down which sometimes takes several minutes.

There’s also a lot of glue on around the metal where it gets hung up, which could be the cause or a jerryrig during QC. The other thing is the 2 tabs at the rear pop off really easy and make it easy access to the latches, which make it not so secure for break ins.

I have a 2016 ram 1500 big horn with the ram box. The roll back cover is poorly engineered! One of the rail was cut thinner than the other and it was very difficult to slide it onto the factory rails! I ask that you have some assembly skills before installing it yourself! Also, I know it’s not 100% water proof but this cover had gaping holes that allowed water to enter as if I didn’t have the cover on it.

I had to make modifications myself to close up the holes. Overall I like the cover but I think the company should re-engineer this cover!.

This cover is everything as described. Installation was complete in less than 2 hours, looks great on my 2010 F-150 and works great. I previously had a hard shell fiberglass cover on it but like the retractable cover much better.

The new cover is also much easier for my wife to open and close. The customer service over the phone with Joseph Cruz was great as well.

This cover was easy to install, seems to be made well, I’m a little worried on the poly top and how long it will hold up. all in all the top is really nice very happy with it. I would recommend this cover for the price.

This is a great bed cover! I have had a couple different bed covers and this is my favorite. The ability to close the tag gate without opening the cover is the best. One downside is that you lose about 10” of bed space in the back.

Recommend get a partner to help you install, it will go much easier.

I installed this in about 50 minutes. The downloaded instructions from SB were fine. The only issue I had was cutting the clip for the turbo resonator. But, once I twisted it off I was good. The video on ET says to reuse the factory bolts at a couple of places.

It was easier reusing the factory bolts. THE install was straight forward and no check engine light afterwards!! Woo WOO You can tell the difference in sound and you can feel a little peppier. But that might be me just expecting that.

ThHere is so much more space for the air to move through this device, as well. Love it. Will be installing the Turbo Blow off valve upgrade next weekend. Suppose to make a huge difference in sound and quickness.

We shall see. But for this device I highly recommended it. Even though it is steep in price, I am betting it will be worth it. Then again, if it comes down to getting another mod or this one, I may have to go with the other one, depending on what it is.

This is a nice “extra” thing to have. Not a necessity, by any means. But it does make your engine bay growl just by being there!! Will post pics as soon as I figure out where to post them.

I bought this to replace the TRD factor cold air intake system in my truck that was broken and being held together with hopes and dreams. Installations of the S&B was pretty straight forward and took me less than an hour start to finish (not including a trip to the parts store).

Build seems pretty high quality, I just had 2 minor issues. 1) Would have preferred the seal to the fender to have been a grommet style like the oem one, it does seem to seal up against it pretty well though.

2) The plastic thread in nipple for the vacuum line broke as soon as I tried to put the line on it. I did not contact customer service, just went to parts store and got a brass one for under $5 I cannot tell if there was any performance gain as i already had a CAI, however fuel economy seems to have gone up a bit.

All said, I would recommend this to anyone looking to replace their factory air intake.

You can’t add inches to a 3. 6L but this intake definitely adds a very nice growl. I wanted to get some more air to the AWE exhaust I added so I start looking for a solid CAI. This intake had the most consistent reviews and it was everything I needed.

This intake definitely pulls massive amounts of air , throttle response has improved over stock , mph has not been observed as of yet. Installation took less than an hour and was very simple when you follow the video on ET.

I highly recommend!.

Easy install and fits as it should. This is my second purchase ot this Gator truck bed cover. Very water tight even in my high pressure car wash. Less expensive than most other covers but doesn’t skimp on ruggedness.

Just a solid value.

The Undercover Lux has proven to be the best option for my truck. Other tonneau covers I considered required drain tubes and for my truck drilling into the bed. Not a chance on that happening. The Lux fits the entire bed and allows water to roll off the top of the bed cover.

The color matched perfectly and the cover looks fantastic! One of my friends saw the cover installed, open it to see my bed rug and said, “Wow, your truck has a real trunk with carpet and everything.

I am very pleased!.

The Bak Flip MX4 tonneau cover works exactly as described. The manufacturer must be quite busy, as it took a full month before they shipped out my cover. A small plastic trim piece arrived broken in the box, manufacturer said they’d send me a new piece right away, but it’s been 3 weeks now and still hasn’t arrived.

Other than that I’m very pleased with it, and it looks great on our new Tacoma!.

I chose the MX4 from bakflip because it has the look and style I want for my Tacoma. The fit and quality is great Easy to install and took about a hour. shipping was good for 2021 it came 6 days before promised.

I recommend thos cover for anyone wanting or needing a tonneau cover to keep things in their truck bed dry and out of sight, locking the tail gate and you should be good to go. i still have use of the entire bed when needed and can be removed in minutes if needed.

Excellent product, definitely an upgrade. Easy installation, just watch the video. Instructions are ok but watching a video will help you avoid extra installation time. Installed on 2020 Tacoma.

This cover is amazing and I feel was worth the money I spent for it. The quality seems to be as good as any I’ve ever seen. The material fits nicely, but it took me sometime to get it installed. I wanted it perfect on my new truck.

I was able to do that and it looks fantastic! After now having used it for a couple of months, my only tiny issue has been that the cover doesn’t slide as well as it did at first. I am going to guess that the track needs to be lubricated as the lubricant that was provided worked fine, it simply wasn’t enough, nor does it last a long time.

It has rained on the cover several times. The cover keeps the vast majority of the water out, but it is not waterproof. Some does eventually get in, but it was less than expected. Overall, this is a top quality cover that has meet or exceeded my expectations in virtually every way.

I am satisfied and would purchase it again if or when the necessity arose.

Great product. Watched YouTube installation video. Very easy after paper instructions made it look difficult. Looks sharp works well. 2022 Maverick truck. Napa price very competive. Delivered a bit late however.

Don’t hesitate to buy this quality bedcover.

This T Cover I have had for the past 6 years and has done a great job for me. I do like this Cover very much. The only think I have issues with is that the cover is very hard to keep clean and black, plus the rubber seals on each side has disintegrated after about 4 years.

I wish I could replace the seals. Other than that, this is a great Tonneau Cover.

Delivery early, packaged well with good directions. Installation does take two people at one point. It’s an easy installation.
