Toyota Tacoma Tonneau Covers

Toyota Tacoma tonneau cover lineup

The Toyota Tacoma is the best-selling mid-size pickup in the country and gets deep tonneau coverage across every style. Truck Bed Barn stocks covers for 1995–2026 Tacoma generations across the 5' Short Bed and 6' Long Bed.

Most-shopped covers for the Tacoma include the BAKFlip MX4, the Extang Trifecta 2.0, the UnderCover Flex, the RetraxPRO XR, and the TruXedo TruXport.

Tacoma generation breaks: 1st gen (1995–2004), 2nd gen (2005–2015), 3rd gen (2016–2023), 4th gen (2024–2026). The 4th gen Tacoma moved to the TNGA-F platform shared with the new Tundra — covers are not cross-compatible with the 3rd gen. Most popular Tacoma configuration is the Double Cab Short Bed (5').

Run your Tacoma through the fitment tool or message us before you order. Fitment is verified before every cover ships.
