Toyota Tacoma Vehicle Wraps  

A lot of our customers ask us how much vinyl they should buy to wrap for their Toyota Tacoma. In the past, we weren't able to provide the best answer which is why we teamed up with Justin Pate from the Wrap Institute. Now, we can give you an accurate amount that you will need to wrap your vehicle. Even better than that, with Pate's help, we can tell you how to measure and prepare the vinyl wrap and cut it into sections so you can wrap all the surfaces of your vehicle. You can watch the full video below and pause the video so you can accurately follow each step for the best possible result.



How Much Vinyl Do I Need to Wrap My Tacoma?




First Generation Toyota Tacoma (1995-2004)

The Tacoma was introduced in the US in February 1995 as a replacement for the Hilux, which prior to this was marketed in the US under the name Toyota Pickup. The design was intended to better suit the needs of the US and Canadian pickup truck market, where pickup trucks, particularly compact and midsized models, are often used as personal vehicles, and less exclusively for commercial, agricultural, and off-road use. In October 2000, along with the front facelift, Toyota had also unveiled an S-Runner trim package that included the 3.4-liter V6 engine. It came with 16-inch (410 mm) alloy wheels and a five-speed manual transmission with Tokico gas shocks.

For the first generation Toyota Tacoma, you will need about 15-16 yards of vinyl wraps to completely wrap it. The vinyl wrap is going to cover the entire exterior besides the windows, lights, and tires. That includes the doors, trunks, hoods, roof, pillar post trim, bumpers, mirrors, rocker panels, and fenders. For partial wraps, 5 yards is a great option since that covers one side of the vehicle.

Launched on October 8, 2004, as a 2005 model, this new Tacoma was available in eighteen different configurations, that included three cab configurations, four transmissions, two engines, and two-bed lengths. The three cab configurations consist of regular cab, access cab, and double cab. The 2006 model Tacoma was a bit different from the 2005 model. The 2006 model made some options standard. Toyota also added 2 new interior colors for the 2007 model year. 2008 models are carry-ons from 2007. In 2009 safety features were added and the Tacoma no longer offers a mechanical limited-slip differential rather an open differential which uses individual wheel braking to simulate a mechanical LSD or "Auto-LSD". From 2010 onwards the Tacoma would receive minor changes and facelifts.

Had to buy giant pieces just to see the color. They do not offer samples, makes zero sense. Why does one have to buy a 5’x1’ piece to see the color? Isn’t that a waste of product?
