    Does anyone know if there are double din dash kits for our trucks that don't sink in like the one Crutchfield sent me?

    sub'd I have the same one, though it's "fine" I would surely consider a better option.....maybe even 3D print one if I find some cash laying around

    What’s the make and model? I’m installing a Pioneer Avic-w8500 shortly and i agree that doesn’t look great

    This may only work for the Tacoma with the premium radio, it has a slightly larger cutout

    Mine did this, just used some stacked washers to push it forward. I have a Metra kit.

    now don't be bringing common sense suggestions like that in here! Great idea, will be checking that out to help with some of the gap.

    I mean that's a good idea but my trim overlaps the dash kit so even if I wanted to push it up it would be hitting the inside of the trim if that makes sense.

    Yeah, I get it. I've probably installed dozens of head units in my life and these dash kits almost always lack a great fit and finish. I ordered 3 for my Tacoma, as I've seen others do on this forum as well, and I found the Metra kit to be the nicest if you want to try that one. Part # for a third gen is

    Just ordered it, this one looks a lot better, hopefully it will fit and look better, if not I am leaning on trying a different radio that might fit better.
