Product Description
Toyota Tacoma Access Cab, 6' Bed, 2016-2023 Full Rocker Kit, 8"-8.375", Six Pieces (TH16172)
TH16172 is QAA's Full Kit for one specific Tacoma configuration: the 2016 through 2023 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab with the 6' bed. It's six pieces of polished stainless steel, listed at an "8" - 8.375" tapered Width," and the placement note says it "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door." In other words, it fills the space between the body molding and the lower edge of the doors.
Four Tacoma kits, pick by cab and bed
QAA lists four Full Kits for this Tacoma range, all with the same 8" to 8.375" width and the same note. What changes is the configuration and the piece count:
- TH16172 (this kit): Access Cab, 6' bed, six pieces
- TH16173: Access Cab, 5' bed, four pieces
- TH16174: Double Cab, 5' bed, four pieces
- TH16175: Double Cab, 6' bed, eight pieces
The record doesn't explain why the bed length changes the number of pieces. To see what the two further pieces cover, check the photos, and call 877-752-3811 if you'd like the layout explained before ordering.
Confirm your bed length
It's easy to know your cab and not be certain of your bed length. Check your paperwork or measure the bed floor before you order, since the Access Cab 5' bed kit is a different listing.
The taper
The width moves from 8" to 8.375", a three-eighths-inch change along the run. The record doesn't say which end is taller; the photos show it, and a dry fit against the molding confirms it.
Construction
The six Access Cab pieces are polished 26 gauge 304 stainless steel produced in the USA, adhered over the existing Tacoma finish with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. According to QAA, the tape will hold for a lifetime without harming the truck.
Molding inserts for the same truck
MI16172 is a six-piece body molding insert kit w1.5 listed for the same Access Cab, 6' bed. The Full Kit spans from the bottom of the molding down; the record doesn't say how the two parts meet, so look at both listings' photos together if you plan to fit both.
Prep
Wash the lower body, dry it, and wipe the full area under the molding with isopropyl alcohol. Clean right up to the molding's lower edge.
Fitting
Label the six pieces from the photos. Dry-fit a run of pieces with the liners on, seating each piece's top edge against the molding. Open the doors to check the joints. Then peel and press piece by piece, using firm pressure across the full height.

After installing
Let the tape set for about a day before washing, and keep the truck out of deep water and off muddy trails for that first day. Warm, dry weather gives large panels the best bond.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit
- Unpack all 6 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.
