Camping/Riding

Hello,

We love to camp when we ride our dirtbikes and I had a Chevy Silverado before with a truck tent and the double air mattress fit perfectly.

So, campers...will my old truck tent fit my new 2011 AC Taco? Also, what's the optimal size air mattress that'll fit? I'm thinking the double will be too big for the smaller size bed.

 

Eileen,

These are not inexpensive but you may be interested in knowing about them regardless.

Hope you have fun camping with your Tacoma.

 

the silverado's width between wheel wells is 50.6"
Tacoma's width between wheel wells is 56.7"

seems kinda strange being the silverado is a full size.


can someone verify this? I got the specs from Chevy.com and Toyota.com

 

wow, really? it doesnt look bigger! but i guess the wheel wells must be larger on the silverado huh?

thanks for the link!

 

there is no way in hell the tacoma is 56.7" between wheel wells.

 

56.7" total/ 41.2 between wheel wells


the silverado is 62.4 total/50.6" between wheel wells.


So, the tent will fit but be too big/ it wont fit right...

 

ah makes more sense! i was gonna go out and measure! lol

 

Long bed on regular cab - mine measures 52" between walls at floor height and 42" between wheel wells.

 

i just got the specs off toyota.com

 

i just pulled the stuff off toyota's website. didn't think it was right. thats why I wanted someone to make sure that was right.

 

i got it off toyota's website too.

 

i have a truck tent left from my 99 mazda b2500 ... i upgraded to a t100 which the bed is probably only slightly shorter than a silverado ... ill go measure it vs my dads 98 silvy xcab ... but do you maybe want to trade? Mine has a broken pole but is otherwise fine

 

idk what the hell i was looking at then. lol
