The fourth-generation Tacoma that arrived for 2024 is a different truck from the one it replaced. It is wider, the cab options changed, and the XtraCab replaced the old Access Cab with a different rear body section. A cover cut from 2016–2023 measurements will go on, then sit wrong: the hem rides up at the rocker panels and the rear section tents over the tailgate.
This page covers the 2024–2026 truck only. If you have an earlier Tacoma, use the 2016–2023 guide instead. Below is what the current truck measures, what to measure on your own vehicle, and the three fit points that catch new Tacoma owners.
| Configuration | Overall length | Overall width | Overall height | Fit note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XtraCab, 6 ft bed | 213.0 in | 76.9 in | 73.9–74.6 in | Two doors with a rear storage shelf instead of a back seat. The cab ends sooner than on the Double Cab, so the cover's cab section is shorter. |
| Double Cab, 5 ft bed | 213.0 in | 76.9–77.9 in | 73.9–74.6 in | Same overall length as the XtraCab but a full rear door and glass area. Width varies with 4WD and trim. |
| Double Cab, 6 ft bed | 226.2 in | 77.9 in | 74.6 in | Longest body in the range, about 13 in longer than the 5 ft version. A short-bed pattern will not reach the tailgate. |
Published US-market dimensions. Two-wheel-drive trims typically sit about an inch lower and narrower than four-wheel-drive trims, and trucks with a lift, running boards or a bed rack measure outside these figures. Measure your own truck before ordering.
The rear of the cab changed. On the XtraCab the rear body section is shorter and squarer than the old Access Cab, so a pattern drawn for the previous generation leaves slack behind the doors. Slack in that area lifts in crosswind and pulls the front hem off the bumper.
The bed is taller and the tailgate is heavier. The new tailgate has a damper and, on many trims, a built-in step. A cover cut flush to the old tailgate line will rub the top edge every time the gate closes. A correct pattern leaves clearance above the gate and closes below the bumper.
The roof antenna moved. On this generation it sits at the rear of the roof rather than on the front fender. A flat pattern presses it sideways; a pattern with a pocket lets the cover sit level.
No, not properly. The current truck is wider and the cab and bed proportions changed, so the older pattern will be tight across the body and short at the rear on the 6 ft bed. Order the pattern built for the 2024–2026 body.
Yes, if the pattern is built around the accessory. A rack raises the highest point of the truck and a tonneau changes what the rear of the cover can wrap. Measure to the top of the rack, tell us the bed length, and the rear section is cut to clear it rather than to sit on the tailgate.
Match your cab and bed against the table, measure the four points above, and order a custom-fit Tacoma cover built to those numbers. Unsure which configuration you have? Send a side photo and a photo of the door jamb label through the contact page and we will confirm before the pattern is cut. For the previous generation, see the 2016–2023 Tacoma cover guide.
Same procedure, different body: these guides cover the dimensions and fit points for the models we cut most often.
