Tonneau covers for the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma short: what to know first

A 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma with the short bed has a floor length of 60.5 in, against 73.7 in for the long bed. The cab is an Access Cab or a Double Cab, the tailgate is the easy-lower lockable removable type, and the bed is a composite one with a deck rail system and four adjustable tie-down cleats. The makers list 7 fits, none that fit only with a condition and 5 exclusions. Only five parts are listed: Tyger T1 TG-BC1T9044, Tyger T3 TG-BC3T1630, ACCESS Original 15269, ACCESS LITERIDER 35269 and BAKFlip MX4 GEN 3 BAK-448426. Two of the exclusions are Tyger covers that do not fit the Trail Special Edition with storage boxes. The other three are cases where the maker's list holds no part for this bed: Tyger T4 and both MOSTPLUS covers.

How to choose for this bed

The five parts split into three types. Soft roll-up, 3: Tyger T1, ACCESS Original and ACCESS LITERIDER. Soft tri-fold, 1: Tyger T3. Hard quad-fold, 1: BAKFlip MX4 (BAK-448426). The BAK is the only hard cover with a part number for this bed, and it is also the only cover with a published distributed load rating, 400 lb. The soft covers publish none. Cover weight is given for Tyger only: 22.5 lb for the T1 and 30.4 lb for the T3. Warranty is 5 years on Tyger, ACCESS Original and BAK, and 3 years on LITERIDER. All five are clamp-on, no drill. Tyger says the T1 and T3 fit models with or without the Utility Track System, and exclude the Trail Special Edition with storage boxes. The ACCESS finder returns 15269 and 35269 for "Toyota Tacoma 5ft Bed (w/o OEM hard cover)", so a truck that has an OEM hard cover is outside that listing. BAK titles its part for a 5'1" bed.

Watch-outs before you buy

Five listings are ruled out, for two different reasons. Tyger T1 and T3 exclude the Trail Special Edition with storage boxes, which fits the general rule that factory bed storage boxes rule out most covers. For the other three, Tyger T4, MOSTPLUS 3-Fold and MOSTPLUS 4-Fold, the maker lists no product for this bed, which is not the same as a confirmed non-fit. Two of the 7 fit listings are the Tyger T1 and T3 again, confirming they fit with or without the Utility Track System. The BAK-448426 listing comes from a RealTruck search-result title rather than the maker's own page. Check the 60.5 in bed, the part number, and whether your truck has storage boxes or an OEM hard cover.

Why a tonneau cover fits or does not

  • A cover SKU fits only the bed length it is made for; nominal bed lengths are rounded differently by makers (for example 5.5 ft, 5'7", 5'5", 67 in all mean the F-150 short bed). The exceptions: none observed
  • Factory bed storage boxes (Toyota Trail Special Edition, Silverado side boxes) exclude most covers. The exceptions: none observed
  • Toyota utility track beds: some covers fit with or without the track. The exceptions: none observed
  • No SKU for this vehicle and bed length in the maker's own list; recorded as "no" with basis "no SKU in brand list", which is not a measured non-fit. The exceptions: a person should confirm before the site states a hard no

Questions owners ask

What size tonneau cover fits a 2016-2023 Tacoma short bed?

The short bed has a floor length of 60.5 in. Tyger writes it 5' (60"), ACCESS writes 5ft and BAK writes 5'1". The part numbers for this bed are TG-BC1T9044, TG-BC3T1630, 15269, 35269 and BAK-448426.

Does a Tacoma tonneau cover fit with the Utility Track System?

Will a tonneau cover fit a Tacoma Trail Special Edition?

Tyger says its T1 and T3 are not compatible with the Trail Special Edition with storage boxes. No cover is confirmed for that truck on this bed.

Is there a hard tonneau cover for the 5 ft Tacoma bed?

Only the BAKFlip MX4 (BAK-448426), rated 400 lb. The Tyger T4 and MOSTPLUS lists show no part for this vehicle and bed length, as read on 2026-10-24.

What does "w/o OEM hard cover" mean for ACCESS on a Tacoma?

The ACCESS finder returns 15269 and 35269 for the 5ft bed with that label. ACCESS does not define the term or list a part for trucks with an OEM hard cover, so ask before ordering.
