    Hello all!

    I have a 2011 single cab 4x4 Tacoma with the 6'5" bed. I'm looking for a camper shell, but no one seems to have the same truck as me. So I'm looking for anything that is compatible. I found a guy selling a 2011 Tundra 6'5" shell, but I don't know if its compatible. There has to be a quick reference chart or something out there. There may even be a forum rule about asking this very question. I apologize if I'm violating a rule. I'm basically a noob. I'm going to have my truck paid off in September, and I plan on doing some upgrading to him with the extra monthly fundage.

    Thanks everyone,

    ADam

    There are many, many other brands as well. If you want a used shell, it would be kind of difficult to pin down the current owner on what specific model he had. But if he gave you a model and style, google it and you could probably find specific fitment.
    Someone else might have a better answer.
    Good luck.

    The LEER site says its a 6'5" or 77" standard bed. I'm a little confused.

    If you want it to fit and look good then you need a shell off of a 05-15 single cab. The shells from an access cab or double cab longbed will fit; however, where it lines up with the back of the cab will be visibly different.
