Good hitch cover
Color: Black, Size: 1
This is a well made,tight fitting hitch cover but the holding strap is too small to go over the hitch lip so I used my wife’s hair dryer to heat it up a skosh and voila! Fit like a charm! I recommend this cover.

Should have been like this from the factory!
Size: For 3rd Gen Tacoma (2016-2023), Color: Black
bgucar Driver Side A-Pillar Grab Handle for Toyota Tacoma is a practical interior upgrade designed to provide added support, convenience, and style for Tacoma owners. Built specifically for Toyota Tacoma models, this grab handle offers a secure grip for entering and exiting the vehicle while also enhancing the rugged appearance of the interior.
One of the first things I noticed about the bgucar Driver Side A-Pillar Grab Handle is how sturdy and comfortable it feels once installed. The handle provides excellent support when getting into the truck, especially for lifted Tacomas or vehicles with larger tires that sit higher off the ground.
The construction feels durable and well-made, with solid materials that match the rugged nature of the Tacoma. The handle has a secure grip texture that feels comfortable in the hand while maintaining stability during daily use and off-road driving.
Installation is another major advantage. The grab handle is designed for a straightforward fit on compatible Toyota Tacoma models, and the included hardware makes the process relatively simple. Most users can complete the installation with basic tools in a short amount of time.
Another standout feature is the improved accessibility it provides. Whether climbing into the truck, navigating uneven terrain, or assisting passengers, the handle adds extra confidence and convenience during entry and exit.
The design also blends nicely with the Tacoma’s interior styling. It looks like a factory-style upgrade rather than an aftermarket accessory, helping maintain a clean and cohesive appearance inside the cabin.
I also appreciate the added functionality during off-road trips and rough driving conditions. The grab handle offers additional stability for the driver when traveling over bumps, trails, or uneven surfaces, making the driving experience feel more secure.
The finish and overall appearance are attractive and complement the rugged personality of the Tacoma. It adds a subtle but useful enhancement without looking bulky or out of place.
Another benefit is the durability during long-term use. The handle remains firmly mounted without rattling or loosening, even after repeated use and exposure to varying driving conditions.

Wanted one of these driver side grab handles for while but could only find it in black. When I saw it available in my trim color immediately ordered it. Installation was a breeze, the fit and color match is absolute perfection with a solid, firm mount. Looks and functions like OEM. This is a high quality, well designed grab handle.

Best Tacoma interior mod hands down!
Size: For 3rd Gen Tacoma (2016-2023), Color: Black, Size: For 3rd Gen Tacoma (2016-2023), Color: Black
One of the best mods you can do for your Tacoma. I love my truck but the biggest gripe for the interior was no grab handle on the driver side. This solves that with a very OEM look. Only took about 5 minutes to install and comes with all the hardware and even tools to do so. It is very sturdy as well.
If you’re on the fence about buying it just purchase it! Well worth the money.

Looks Factory, Installs in Minutes
Size: For 3rd Gen Tacoma (2016-2023), Color: Black
This driver-side A-pillar grab handle was exactly what my Tacoma should’ve had from the factory. Installation was genuinely easy. The instructions were clear and straightforward, and while a tool is included, I found a long 10mm socket made the job even faster and easier—especially for getting clean torque without fighting angles. Fitment was spot on with no gaps, rattles, or creaking once installed. The texture and finish match the passenger side perfectly, so it doesn’t scream “aftermarket” at all. It looks OEM because, functionally and visually, it might as well be. Solid feel, sturdy construction, and a big improvement for getting in and out of the truck. Five stars without hesitation.
