wonder if the inside of the bed is the same width, just that the out side of the bed is wider

 

Bud, 2nd gen=56inches
Turd gen =56.75 inches

 

I know you measured, but none of the other measurements I've seen online seem consistent. I've seen discrepancies almost up to an inch. I may have to measure a stock 15 and 16 to be satisfied.

 

All the second gens i have done measure 56 at the cab point, thus being the correct width, and yours, and the other two 3rd gens have measured 56.75

 

But that's not satisfying enough!

 

Don't question the Jakers when it comes to anything other than Grammar or Spelling!

 

2nd gens have a stock feature called the bed spreading apart.... My bed is probably as wide as a turd gen at this point.

 

I know mine is wider at the tailgate than stock from the previous owner

 

That.










Is what she said.

 

There is a fix for that. Check out gramps truck.

 

Bed stiffeners!

 

Yes, I plan on getting some

 

Sorry I missed the beginning of the conversation. What product are you looking at anyways for your truck? I will tell you what if it's a bed rack that sits on the rails, just say NO! Otherwise you are going to end up spreading the Bed so wide it will be a Tundra!

 

I don't want it to mount to the rails, but I plan on getting the decked system when it comes out for the tacoma so I don't have many options. Besides I don't plan to have the tent mounted 100% of the time. I think less weight combined with the bed stiffeners and I'll be okay.

 

The weight of a simple short bed canopy alone is enough to spread those bed rails.
Something to think about.

 

Yeah but that's gotta be a good 200+ lbs.

 

So it should go down to the frame?

 

Easy fix, instead of buying whatever it is you want to buy, get a 1st gen and then look for accessories on that instead. Good news is accessories will probably be cheaper so you'll be saving money.
