The Best Toyota Tacoma Accessories

The main purpose of owning a pickup truck is the added utility it offers compared to a traditional car. But that doesn’t mean they’re leaving the assembly line as functional as they can be. The aftermarket is full of accessories that make your Toyota Tacoma even more versatile, while some products upgrade the appearance of your truck.

In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the best accessories you can buy to get the most out of your Toyota Tacoma.

Every pickup truck owner should protect and secure their belongings with a quality tonneau cover. This recommendation is a dual-coated tonneau cover constructed from heavy duty, 24-ounce marine-grade vinyl. It features aircraft-grade aluminum frames and the company includes stainless steel clamps for easy installation. This cover conveniently folds up for full access to the bed thanks to pre-assembled horizontal crossbars.

No drilling is necessary to install this cover, although small holes may need to be cut in the bedliner if your Tacoma is equipped with an over-the-bedrail bedliner. Along with weathertight sealing, this option has a patented secure locking design that uses clamps with stainless steel rods. Choose from 5' and 6' sizes and either a soft top or a hard top. Make sure to also select the correct model year of your Tacoma.

This OEM bed mat is guaranteed to fit your short bed Tacoma perfectly. It's one of the first accessories many Tacoma owners purchase to help prevent objects from sliding around in the bed. It's constructed from a high-strength, cord-enhanced rubber compound that the Japanese automaker says can withstand abuse without fading, rusting, cracking, or breaking.

A pebble finish minimizes the shifting of cargo, while raised and angled ribs makes it easier to load and unload cargo from the bed of your truck. Helping keep the truck bed dry is a knobby underside, which aids in aeration and drainage. This also helps prevent rust and mildew from forming on your truck bed. This bed mat fits 2005 to 2020 Toyota Tacoma pickup trucks with a short bed.

No matter which finish you choose, these tailgate letter inserts are UV stable so they won't fade, and will withstand extreme temperatures—cold and hot. More importantly, they're car wash safe and will stay firmly in place wash after wash.

Resistant to both water and dirt, these 4" side steps can be easily installed without any cutting or drilling.

All mounting hardware to install these side steps are included and the company provides a 3-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Just keep in mind that this particular recommendation is for 2005-2020 Toyota Tacomas equipped with a double cab.
