Product Description
Tacoma Access Cab Pillar Post Trim, 2016-2023, Four Pieces (PP16172)
PP16172 is the Access Cab version of QAA's Tacoma pillar trim. Its one fitment row reads Toyota Tacoma 2016-2023, tagged 4-door, Pickup Truck and Access Cab. A separate four-piece set, PP16175, carries the Double Cab tag instead, so the cab on your truck decides which one you need.
Access Cab or Double Cab?
Both sets have four pieces, the same 2016-2023 span and the same material. The catalog gives no notes on either, so the cab tag is the only stated difference. Check your records or build paperwork if you're not certain which cab you have, and look at the photos of both listings: the cover outlines should match the posts on your truck. If you're still unsure, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 with PP16172 before ordering.
Why the 4-door tag doesn't settle it
Both Tacoma pillar sets are tagged 4-door, so that word alone won't tell you which to buy. Go by the cab name on the row. Ordering by cab rather than by door count is the simplest way to avoid ordering the set listed for the other cab.
The four covers
Each one is polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel, made in the USA. The listing doesn't name the pillars the four pieces cover, and there's no width given, so the product photos are the guide to shape and placement. They bond with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape directly over the existing surface. You won't drill or remove anything.
More Tacoma trim on the same sheet
Details on these lines vary by cab and bed, so read the tags on each one:
- TH16172, a six-piece full rocker panel kit tagged Access Cab with a 6' bed; TH16173, a four-piece full kit tagged Access Cab, 5' bed; and TH16174, a four-piece full kit for the Double Cab, 5' bed. All three list a width of 8-8.375 and say they span from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door.
- RT16175, a one-piece tailgate accent trim, listed at 2" width X 56.625" length.
- SGR16175, six "TACOMA" tailgate letter inserts, noted as stainless letters.
- RW16175, two sliding rear window trim accents, which need a non-power sliding rear window and carry SR5, TRD Pro, TRD Sport and TRD OffRoad tags.
TH16175, MI16172, MI16173, MI16174, MI16175, RC16175 and RW16176 are linked by number only. Open each of their pages for details before planning around them.
Prep
Wash the cab's pillar areas, rinse and dry. Wipe each spot with isopropyl alcohol on a clean cloth and let it flash. Remove any wax, sealant or ceramic coating where the tape will go.
Fitting
With the liners still on, hold each cover in place and check its edges against the post. Mark the spot with painter's tape. Then peel, place and press firmly along the full length and both edges, one cover after another. The Installation tab gives the temperature range and cure time.
If a cover doesn't line up with any post on your truck, keep its liner on and call 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 4 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
