    I've been reading a lot about tires and bed covers for my 2015 Access cab. And, I have seen 2015's called Gen 2 most of the time but, also Gen 3 on various forums. Some bed covers are 2008-2014??

    Are there some 2015's that are Gen 3? And if so, how do you tell the difference?

    Thanks,
    Regis

    A lot of companies just didn't update the product listing for the last model year. The 2014 and the 2015 are the same truck.

    2015s are gen 2.

    Visual difference is pretty big between the 2 mainly in the front grille area.

    I think it was with the 2012 refresh that they got rid of the forward bed cubbyholes.
