Cap Compatibility (camper, canopy, top, topper, shell...)

Will caps on 2nd, 3th, 4th gen Tacomas fit my first Taco: 2004 Extracab SR5 Prerunner with long/regular bed? Will caps from any other makes of trucks fit? TYIA!

 

I'm looking for used and something with a flat top and able to take a bolt-on ladder/lumber rack. Recommendations welcome.

 

P.S. What is the MOST commonly used name for a simple cap when searching craigslist???
(cap, camper, canopy, top, topper, shell...) I live in Seattle, WA.

 

Is this true? How close are they?

• Ford Ranger Short Bed (1993-2012):
  • The Ranger had both short and long bed options that were very comparable to the 1st-gen Tacoma.
  • Short beds were around 6 feet, and long beds were around 7 feet.
• Chevrolet S-10 / GMC Sonoma (1994-2004) Short Bed:
  • These trucks also offered similar bed sizes to the Tacoma.
  • Short beds were roughly 6 feet, and long beds were around 7.5 feet.

 

Other gens will not fit. If you’re patient a good deal will pop up, I’ve never paid more than $250 for a cap. First cap I bought on my first gen was $50. My second gen was more expensive at $250. also keep note single cab caps will not fit right on extended cabs and double cabs

 

The best way is get make model and serial# for campershell and contact them for fitment/spare parts
