Product Description
Toyota Tacoma 2016-2023 Tailgate Accent, 2 x 56.625 Inch Polished Stainless (RT16175)
RT16175 is one strip of polished 304 stainless for the Toyota Tacoma 4-door pickup, model years 2016 through 2023, with its size spelled out in the record: 2" width x 56.625" length. That's two inches tall and a bit over fifty-six and a half inches across.
Check it against your truck
Measure across your tailgate where the photos place the strip. If your measurement is close to 56.625 inches, you're looking at the right spot. A two-inch painter's tape laid along the same line shows the proportion before you commit.
Material and mounting
26-gauge 304 stainless steel, mirror-polished, made in the USA. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape is used, and the strip goes on over the existing surface. Nothing to remove from the tailgate. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
TACOMA lettering
SGR16175, a six-piece set of "TACOMA" tailgate letter inserts listed as stainless letters, is linked to the same truck. If you want both the name and this band on the tailgate, compare the photos to plan where each sits.
Cab and bed matter for the side parts
The tailgate strip is listed for the 4-door pickup without a cab split. The linked side parts are a different story. Rocker kits TH16172 and TH16173 are for the Access Cab with a 6' or 5' bed, and TH16174 and TH16175 for the Double Cab with a 5' or 6' bed; all span from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door. The molding insert kits are split the same way. Pillar kits are PP16172 for the Access Cab and PP16175 for the Double Cab.
Rear window note
RW16175 is a two-piece sliding rear window trim that requires a non-power sliding rear window, listed for SR5, TRD Pro, TRD Sport, and TRD OffRoad trims. Check your window type before ordering it. Each linked listing shows its own finish.
Installing a long strip
Wash, dry, and clean the full footprint with a residue-free cleaner until a fresh cloth shows nothing. Mark both ends and the top edge with painter's tape. Anchor one end with a few inches of liner removed, then press along the length while a helper pulls the remaining liner. A dry, mild day is best. See the Installation tab.
Letters first or strip first?
If you're doing both, set the strip first. It's the longer, harder piece to place, and once it's level you can space the TACOMA letters relative to it instead of trying to fit a long strip around letters already in place.
Tools
Tape measure, painter's tape, residue-free cleaner, clean cloths, and a second pair of hands for the liner.
Durability
Solid polished 304 has no plated layer, so gravel scuffs show more of the same steel. Wash with mild soap and a soft cloth after the first few days.
What it is
Decorative trim; the tailgate works as before.

Installation tips: Tailgate Accent Trim
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- 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.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
