Tacoma bedracks

[Teghogh]

Just measured 2019 Tacoma bed. The measurements are very similar both in width and length. Given the numerous rack options available for Tacoma at a much lower price point than gladiator comparables I’m surprised that no one has tried fitting Tacoma racks on our truck. Tacoma’s bed width is about 63.5 inches with similar 3-3.5inch sidewall thickness and the short bed measures about 63 inches in length as well

There was a thread, I can't find it now, about installing the Tacoma rails in the Gladiator. With a link to buy the kit for under $200

Here’s a decent looking weld yourself kit for $400 that I saw...

And there’s more related attachments for the Taco bed rails...

Give me a week and I can have an answer... I have an RCI bed rack from my Taco in my storage unit and my trail rails should be here hopefully this week sometime. I'll throw it up there and see how they align.

My rails didn't get shipped until this morning and I have a guy picking up the rack in about an hour but I'll get some pics of the thing on the truck before he takes it. Should give a rough idea if it's even feasible.

I'm incredibly skeptical if the 55" I've read is legit on these trucks because the Tacoma is 57" between the mounting rails on the nose.

Close, but no dice on the RCI Tacoma rack. This is with the other side of the rack pushed firmly into the other bedside so that little bit the trail rails stick out will push it even further. Needs probably 3/4" to an inch to make it work for the width but then it also appears the Gladiator rails mount higher than the Tacoma relative to the top of the bedside - you'd need to grind out the holes to make it work on some racks.
