    Hello, new to this, so please be patient.

    I am trying to find a mod for my 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport 6' Bed to achieve 2-3 things:
    • reduce the overall length of the truck by 4-5"
    • Improve the approach and departure angle
    • still be able to use my BSM and Rear Cross Traffic alert.
    I would really like to be able to fit my truck in my garage for obvious reasons, so a shortened overall length would be top priority.

    Thanks!

    Nothing comes to mind, short bed would be the only viable option without bobbing the bed like @BigMike .

    Sorry bud. It's not like the frame rails are several inches behind the plastic.
    You could cobble something up like a simple plate but it would look like shit.
    Good luck.
