Toyota Tacoma Floor Mats: 3rd Gen, 4th Gen, and What to Buy for Your Cab

If you drive a Toyota Tacoma, the right floor mat depends on three things: your generation (3rd-gen 2016-2023 or 4th-gen 2024-2026), whether your 4th-gen is gas or hybrid, and your transmission. Our current Tacoma fitment covers Double Cab trucks: a 3rd-gen set for 2016-2023 (automatic only) and two separate 4th-gen sets, one for the 2024-2026 gas Double Cab, one for the 2024-2026 Hybrid. The 4th-gen Tacoma has a redesigned footwell with a new pedal layout and dashboard architecture, so mats built for the 3rd-gen will not fit it. We laser-scanned the 4th-gen separately the moment it landed, and we keep the older 3rd-gen tooling intact for everyone still rolling on a 2016-2023. Below is how to match your truck to the right set, what the floor-pan differences actually look like, and what to expect from custom-fit coverage compared to the universal mats that ship from the dealer.

The 3rd-Gen and 4th-Gen Tacoma Have Different Floor Pans

The 3rd-generation Tacoma ran from 2016 through 2023. The 4th generation arrived for the 2024 model year on Toyota's new TNGA-F platform, sharing bones with the Tundra and Sequoia. That platform change isn't cosmetic. The 4th-gen has a wider track, a re-engineered firewall, repositioned pedals, and a different center-tunnel profile.

What that means at the floor:

  • The 4th-gen driver footwell sits at a different depth and angle.
  • The 4th-gen pedal cluster is closer together and shaped differently.
  • The 4th-gen center tunnel rises at a steeper contour than the 3rd-gen.
  • The rear footwell on the 4th-gen Double Cab is wider, with new seat-track mounting points.

A 3rd-gen mat dropped into a 4th-gen truck will float on the tunnel, leave the edge gapped at the door sill, and slide under the pedals. The reverse is just as bad. Our 3rd-gen and 4th-gen mats are separate SKUs because the trucks are separate vehicles underneath the badge.

Our Current Tacoma Fitment Is Double Cab, Automatic, in Three SKUs

Toyota has built the Tacoma in several cab styles across generations (Access Cab on 3rd gen, XtraCab on 4th gen, plus the Double Cab on both). What we currently make is the Double Cab set, which is the volume-selling configuration. Our three Tacoma SKUs are:

  • 2016-2023 Tacoma Double Cab: fits automatic transmission only. The product page explicitly notes it does not fit manual transmission vehicles.
  • 2024-2026 Tacoma Double Cab (gas): fits automatic transmission only.
  • 2024-2026 Tacoma Hybrid: separate SKU from the gas 4th gen because hybrid powertrain routing changes the floor pan.

If you drive an Access Cab 3rd-gen, an XtraCab 4th-gen, or a manual-transmission 3rd-gen Double Cab, we don't currently have a TuxMat® set for your truck. Use our vehicle selector to confirm before adding to cart.

Why Coverage Matters More on a Tacoma Than on Most Vehicles

Tacoma is a job-site truck, a trail truck, and a daily driver. That means the floor pan sees mud, gravel, snowmelt, dog hair, spilled coffee, and occasionally river water. Three-layer construction is the right product story for that use case.

Our three-layer construction uses a water-resistant PVC vinyl top, an EVA foam middle that lets us build vertical sidewalls, and an anti-skid cloth bottom that grips the factory carpet without adhesive. The high vertical sidewalls catch debris before it spreads. The cloth bottom means the driver mat doesn't migrate forward under braking, which matters on a TRD Off-Road climbing a forest service road or stopping hard on wet pavement.

TuxMat® holds a 4.8★ rating based on 5,000+ Google Ratings. Car and Driver confirmed it after testing our mats: “Hands down, these floor mats offered the most comprehensive interior coverage of any floor mats we tested.” That is the coverage story that lines up with how Tacomas actually get used.

Why TuxMat® Tacoma Coverage Covers the Parts That Matter

Universal tray-style liners leave gaps at the door sills, seat tracks, pedal cluster, and rear footwell corners. Those are the first areas to show permanent staining. 

TuxMat® delivers up to 2.5x more coverage than OEM floor mats¹. We get there by:

  • Scanning the actual floor pan, not approximating from photos or templates.
  • Carrying the mat all the way to the door sill (not over it, which traps debris).
  • Wrapping the center tunnel.
  • Extending under the seat tracks where the factory carpet sits exposed.
  • Building raised sidewalls that contain liquid in the footwell instead of letting it bleed onto the carpet.

That coverage gap is the difference between a clean factory carpet at trade-in and one with permanent staining around the seat tracks.

What 4th-Gen Tacoma Owners Specifically Need to Know

If you bought a 2024, 2025, or 2026 Tacoma, three things matter:

  1. Last-gen mats won't fit. If a buddy is offering you their old TRD's mats, they won't seat correctly. The pedal layout and tunnel shape are different.
  2. Gas and hybrid 4th-gens use different mat sets. We tool the hybrid separately from the gas Double Cab because the hybrid powertrain changes how the floor pan is laid out. Pick the SKU that matches your truck on our vehicle page.
  3. The new dashboard slope changes how the driver's mat seats at the firewall. Our 4th-gen tooling accounts for it. Third-gen tooling does not.

If you're not sure which gen you have, check the model year on your driver's door jamb sticker.

TRD Trims Fit the Same Mat as Their Non-TRD Siblings Within the Same SKU

Within a given Tacoma SKU, the floor pan is the same across trim levels. SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Limited all use the same floor geometry within their generation and powertrain. Same mat set. Same price.

That's a deliberate brand position on our side: we price per vehicle SKU, not per trim. A TRD Pro Tacoma costs more from Toyota than an SR, but our floor mat set is the same price either way. Check the product page for current pricing. Tacoma is a pickup, not a vehicle with a trunk, so there is no trunk add-on for this model; what you're buying is the 1st and 2nd row coverage.

Installation Takes About Five Minutes, No Tools

Tacoma mats use the factory retention hooks that Toyota installs at the driver's footwell. Drop the driver mat in, seat it on the existing hook, and the anti-skid backing holds it without sliding. Passenger and rear mats sit on the factory carpet with the cloth backing doing the work. We include Velcro clips and a QR code with install instructions in case anything needs adjustment.

On Double Cab Tacomas in either generation, the rear is a multi-piece set sized to the center tunnel and rear footwell of that specific generation.

Limited Lifetime Warranty and a 30-Day Return Window

Every Tacoma mat set we ship is backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the original purchaser and original vehicle. The warranty is non-transferable, so if you sell the truck, it does not pass to the buyer. Exclusions: normal wear and tear, chemical contamination, harsh cleaning materials, vehicle accidents, modifications, and incorrect installation.

If the fit isn't right when the mats arrive, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee with free return shipping. No restocking fee, no return shipping fee.

How the Tacoma Fits Into Our Broader Truck and Outdoor Lineup

The Tacoma sits in the same use-case bucket as the Subaru Outback and Forester (different vehicle, same outdoor-buyer profile) and shares construction with our truck mat lineup. If you're cross-shopping or you have a second vehicle, the same three-layer construction, anti-skid backing, and laser-scanned fitment apply. For more on how we approach outdoor and adventure use cases across vehicles, see our Complete Protection Guide.

Frequently asked questions

Do TuxMat® floor mats fit the 2024-2026 4th-gen Toyota Tacoma?

Yes, for Double Cab trucks. We scanned the 4th gen separately when it launched. The gas 4th-gen Double Cab uses one set and the 4th-gen Hybrid uses a separate set. Both fit automatic transmission trucks. Use our vehicle selector to confirm before adding to cart.

Will my 3rd-gen Tacoma mats fit my new 4th-gen?

No. The platform change between 2023 and 2024 redesigned the footwell. A 3rd-gen mat will float on the tunnel and gap at the door sill in a 4th-gen truck.

Do you make mats for the Tacoma Access Cab or XtraCab?

Not currently. Our 3rd-gen Tacoma set (2016-2023) fits Double Cab models only, and our 4th-gen sets (2024-2026, gas and hybrid) fit Double Cab. If you have an Access Cab or XtraCab Tacoma, we don't have a TuxMat® set for your truck right now.

Do you make mats for the manual-transmission 3rd-gen Tacoma?

No. Our 2016-2023 Tacoma set is built for automatic transmission Double Cabs. The product page specifically notes it does not fit manual transmission vehicles.

Are TuxMat® Tacoma mats safe for off-road use?

The three-layer construction is built for daily driving in extreme weather, mud, and dirt. We don't claim specific abrasion specs, off-road durability ratings, or puncture resistance. What we do claim is that the raised sidewalls contain debris in the footwell and the anti-skid backing keeps mats from migrating, which is what most trail driving actually demands.

Are the mats waterproof?

The top layer is water-resistant. The mats protect against, block, and shield from slush, snowmelt, mud, and spilled liquids in normal use. We don't claim "waterproof" because there are use cases (full submersion, pooled liquid left for days) where any mat eventually saturates.

What's the difference between Tacoma TRD Pro and SR mats?

None on our end. The floor pan is shared between trims within the same SKU. Same mat set. Same price.

Why is the 4th-gen Hybrid a different SKU from the 4th-gen gas Tacoma?

Hybrid powertrain routing on the 4th gen changes the floor pan compared to the gas version, so we tool the Hybrid separately from the gas Double Cab. Both fit 2024-2026 model years.

Do you offer a trunk mat for the Tacoma?

Tacoma doesn't have a trunk. For bed protection, that's a separate aftermarket category we don't currently make.

How long does it take to install?

About five minutes per vehicle. No tools. The mats use existing factory retention hardware plus the anti-skid backing on the bottom.

Is the Limited Lifetime Warranty transferable if I sell the truck?

No. The Limited Lifetime Warranty is non-transferable. It covers the original purchaser and the original vehicle.

What if the fit isn't right when they arrive?

Return the set within 30 days for a full refund. We pay return shipping. No restocking fee.

This is a Toyota Tacoma fitment guide from the TuxMat® Team. Designed in Canada. Every vehicle generation is laser-scanned separately so the mat that ships to you was built for the truck you actually own.
