it is the same bed so it should not be an issue. The only concern might be the angle of the back of the cab. My DC is pretty straight up and down. I don't think the access cab's angle is any different. I know it was on previous Tacos.
A five minute test fit with a couple of people should answer the question ...Good luck

thanks, i called 3 leer dealers. 2 says it fits 1 says it will rub on the top of the cab due to the angle. i will need to drive 700 miles round trip to get this deal, so you can understand my dilemma.

i would ask for really in-depth pictures of the angles and what not
then compare with the angle of your truck

thanks,
