Any details on the composite bed?

Have there been any details released or shown in any yt sneak peaks? I am curious to see if there are any changes to it over the gen 3. I ask because I am coming from a 4Runner who of course doesn’t have a bed, and I’ve seen some overlanders and forum members talk about bed stiffeners. Seems like some say they are 100% needed and others say they are superfluous if you aren't running rtt or towing massive weight. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

 

I think all of the 3rd gen threads on this subject are valid. I doubt much has changed on the 4th gen to bolster or stiffen the back corners.

 

Only changes I have seen mentioned is to the depth of it.

 

As mentioned, 1 inch deeper. More glass for less weight. If you aren't running a cap, w/wo rtt then there is no need for bed stiffeners.

 

Ok great. So if I plan to do some medium trails without any rtt or cap then I am golden without one. thanks for confirming!

 

I'm just happy we're getting the composite at all. Means I don't have to Line-X it.

 

The composite bed has been in the Tacoma since 2005, no way they would drop it at this point.

 

Good. Definitely happy about that.

 

In all trucks why, the oversize wide wheel well humps inside the bed that will not allow a 4' wide sheet to lay on bed floor ? Even with oversized tires and crazy axle angles the tires don't get close to rubbing.
