    What is the bed material of the 1st gen tacomas? I am having a hard time finding that info online. Are there any model years with a pure steel bed? I found a brochure stating they have a double wall bed. whatever that means.

    Pretty sure all the trucks up until the 2nd gen (2005) trucks are steel beds. No composite in my 2001.

    4 run, 2 don't
    Tap on it, does it sound plastic or metal?

    If metal, does a magnet stick to it or not?

    Super easy.

    Sounds like he’s a potential buyer, not a current owner
