    I have a 2012 Tacoma. I'm wanting to buy a tonneau cover for it. All the ones I see for sale are for a fleetside/ Styleside box. Is this what mine is?20220203_162603.jpg

    There's fleet sides (fleet vehicle) which means standard typically straight flat bed sides where the wheel humps are in the bed and the bed rails are wide as the cab.

    And then

    Flare/Step side meaning the wheel humps are outside the narrower bed.

    The 2nd generation Tacoma was never a available with a flare side.

    If what you're looking at says flare or step side and fits Tacoma you are looking at a first gen cover.

    The truck you posted is fleet side.

    Fleet 1st gen

    Step/flare 1st gen

    All 2nd gens are fleet side beds.

    Thank you. Finding information on my Tacoma is not very detailed. This is my 1st Toyota. I'm also a Jeep Wrangler guy and finding info on them is easy like Dana axles, what gears are in them, or what transfer case it has.

    Well you certainly found the place to get your answers, though there certainly is more established and readily available information for Jeep.

    Looks like you have a very shiny regular cab long bed (RCLB) base model 6 lug.

    Love that green color. :D

    Thank you. Just bought it yesterday. 6 lug does that mean it's a stronger axle?

    The same shit everyone else has.
    All 2nd gens are fleetside. The only opinion is 5ft (short) vs 6ft (long) bed
    not always
