    Can anyone recommend a good body cover for outdoor storage on their Tacoma? Need something for 2-3 weeks at a time. Thanks!

    I have never seen a car cover for a truck.

    My lady uses one from here for her 72 Chevelle

    but you can get covers from pretty much anywhere, universal fit ones can get awkward with some trucks

    My mother used to have a car cover on her car when she didn't drive it too often. Bad idea. Condensation collected under the cover, and there was also an abrasion issue because the cover rubbed against the paint due to the wind, etc. All in all, you're better off without the cover.

    I second this. My step-father destroyed the paint on his 65 Mustang for the exact same reasons you mentioned.

    Thanks for all of the feedback! Forget it, it's not worth it here in the Carolina heat/humidity either.

    A cover pro structure would work if you had room and didn't mind the look.
