I never knew they made a Taco Flairside.... It looked odd to say the least. I don't fancy the Tundra Flairside either.

 

Tacoma flairside is the ugliest design idea toyota ever had followed closely by the Tundra flairside.

 

Not sure what you guys are talking about. But I saw a 05 Taco today and let me tell you, that things looks like it fell form an ugly tree and hit every branch. What were they thinking!! O well just makes my 90 4Runner look all that much better!

 

Stepside bed on a Tacoma or tundra

 

i actually like the taco stepside..

 

I second that. I even like the tundra flare/step side too!

 

They look like a pringle potato chip.

 

I didn't say I didn't really like it.. I just never knew there was a Tacoma Flareside.

 

I don't care for them either, not least because of the fact that the flaresides make an already dinky bed even tinier. But to each his own I suppose.

 

they have the right idea, but i don't like the super smooth design. i've always wanted to find a stepside bed for my truck though, i know they did exist at one time as an aftermarket item

 

that's some funny observation there. stepsides are bed killers.

 

I can remember when there was a reason for stepsides - the need to step up on the side to load / unload stuff (like haybales). Then they became more or less a pure fashion thing... Stepsides _look_ fairly cool, but they're really not that practical. Nothing's as ucking fugly as one of those bizarro canopies made to fit stepsides...

 

I did not know they made them either until I saw a 2003 in a dealer lot. I test drove it and it seemed real wierd when looking out the side view mirror. The stepside is a stand alone option for the truck.
