Bed Length?

First time truck owner. Im tyring to find out what the bed length is for a 2006 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab so that I can begin my hunt for a topper. The specs say its 208.1 inches long. Can anyone let me know if this is a short bed or long bed? Or, how would I find out? thx!

 

Unless I'm mistaken the access cab only came with the long bed (6' bed). Are you looking to buy new or used?

 

Yes 6 foot bed. The length of the bottom of shell where it sits on the truck bed is about 77 1/2" if that helps.

 

Um...208 is close to 17 feet....quite sure the units are wrong. 208 cm is around 6.5 feet, so that's closer. Your access cab has a LB...around 6 ft 2 in long.

 

So, it looks like a long bed. Ideally looking for a used truck cap. I live in the NYC/CT area. Any ideas on the best place to look for a used one?

 

I'm out in CO so I'm not much help on where to pick one up. CL or ebay maybe?

 

Ask around, I bought one right off a friends truck who was tired of it for $200, a nice snug top. It was for a toyota pu, but fit my taco (was a hair lower). I ended up giving that one away after I sold the truck.

 

thank you!

 

Make sure you don't get one off a regular cab long bed. Even though the length is the same, the angle of the back of the cab is different. All access cabs are long bed. Double cabs were offered in both short bed or long bed. So, you need one off an access cab or a DCLB.

 

this is very helpful information. if you know of any place that sells used toppers, let me know. thank you!

 

Yes, but I am in Los Angeles. Not sure where you are.

Used come up in the TacomaWorld Classifieds often. You can also search CL, OfferUp and the like. If you have the time, and want the best bargains, do plenty of homework to figure out what fits your vehicle and the brands, models you want. Don't rely on Bubba from a CL ad to say if the Rebel GoatJumper he has for $150 will fit your vehicle. "Fit" is subjective.

The best bargains are from private parties, if you know what to look for and what you are looking at.

 

Never heard up OfferUP. I'll check that out now. thx!
