You can mount it under or behind the seats. It should cover about 3 to 8 feet beyond the body. I suggest trial staging and see what gives you the best location. It also adjusts signal strength, so keep that in mind.

I have a 2003 Avalanche, which the dash is not flat. The mount will slide around quite a bit. It does get on my nerves. I only use it at times. For a flat dash it looks like it would do great.

Mine sits on the truck ledge and blocks any cover since most bed covers require the entire ledge. Since mine fits a Toyota tacoma with built in bed liner, this was the only box that fit with the box lower corners angling in slightly to clear the tire wells in the bed. At times I remove the box (a 15 minute job) when I need the entire bed and then put on a cover to close in the bed. Hope this helps.

sorry not sure but I mounted mine on a 2012 Toyota tundra just behind rear axle driverside in side frame rail in front of spare tire. it is protected from tire splash and mounted to bed bottom support rail without having to drill through bed bottom itself. short electrical supply line . tap in to electric brake wire before trailer plug housing. so I get my power from electric brake main wire. mounted air valve filler in existing hole on bed behind bumper underneath left rear.

also, if you have the Toyota tie down system, the cover fits over it so sits on top of the bed sides. that way you can still use the tie downs.

I installed mine just behind the cab. It can also be attached just behind the tailgate. I have a bed cover so those are the only two options.

It all depends how much of a curved dash. I have a GMC Sierra Truck which has a number of curves and I found a sweet spot where I believe this will work. Another thing you could try is adding one of these non slip pads that Walmart and other suppliers sell that people can lay a cell phone on and not have it slip off the dash. I'm using this Amazon GPS Dashboard mount for a 7" monitor and I'm certain it will stay, but it all depends where you place it on your dash and, of course the manner you drive.

It works well when the surface of contact between the dash board and the bound is large. Usually, this means that the area of the dash board where you place the mount should be as flat as possible or even concave (i.e., downwards). If it is convex upwards the friction may be not enough. Also, make sure you dust the dash board surface regularly, otherwise dust sticks to the bottom of the mount and the friction subsides. Then, if you make a sharp turn or accelerate fast, the thing may move or even fall to the floor.

Yes its in dash, but you will need space below the mounting hole for part of the radio controls as the height of the unit is bigger than a standard unit. It overhangs the mounting hole by probably a couple of inches.

Our truck is not a Tacoma but a Tundra. When we bought the divider the instructions read that it will fit a full size bed but it can be adjusted to fit smaller beds. It is a great addition to our truck, without it, I will have to fetch things that we placed close to the tailgate all the way to the back of the cabin. The only thing that probably I don't like about it is that it works on a compressed spring to keep it in place and it takes quite a bit of force to place it across the bed.

First, do you have a bed liner in your truck? I do and I had this issue. I cut out enough area to make it drop all the way down and it works great. I really like my hitch extender.

Is your truck an extended cab? You will have to make some brackets to mount on the frame. I never put them on my truck, ended up getting rid of it. I will make you a deal of you want to buy mine.

I put my BODY ARMOR rear bumper on my TACOMA 2008 4x4 and it worked very well. It did take two people to make the installation easier, but one person can do it! I put an ARB front bumper and the combo looks great and NO ONE parks close to me.

I have a pickup with a top that stays on all the time. It's mounted in the truck bed about 3 feet from the cab. Works fine. Youtube has some installation videos. Great product for the price.

yes, i have a Toyota Tacoma, the under the rail wasn't an option, so I place as close I can get under the rail to get "shelter" from rain and etc. I can't upload pictures, but, couple of current pictures do demonstrated the product placement as such.

Is there ANY way it will fit under a tonneau cover. Perhaps a different maker or model. I have a 2015 Tacoma TRD sport
