    In the market to buy a bed cap for my 3rd gen, wanted to see what options there are/what they look like on our trucks.

    No, not at all. Very aerodynamic. Went with higher volume because I have a SB. What hit my mpg was my leveling kit and Cooper AT3s!

    I have a 2017 tacoma access cab with a 6' bed and I just had an A.R.E. cap installed on it, and I don't think it
    really fits...the edges of the cap are not flush with the side of the truck bed...the edges bow out the further you
    go down the cap. You can get your fingers under the edges...and...it was supposed to come with the bottom
    trim option, but the installer...(after the fact) told me that the trim will come off from the end corners...that the
    mold for the trim at the A.R.E. manufacturer has not been adapted for trucks beyond 2015...so, no trim on my cap.
    The whole ordeal has pissed me off and I am trying to just return the cap, and eventually find one that is made to
    fit trucks built after 2015. So...I don't know as I'd order an A.R.E. cap if I were you. My 2011 A.R.E. cap was perfect.

    That's a bummer. I've had mixed results over the years with all manufacturers. Mine fits perfectly. I didn't want the trim, so can't speak to that. Might try a different dealer?
