In most current Toyota Tacomas, the front wipers use a 26-inch driver-side blade and a 17-inch passenger-side blade, with an 11-inch rear blade if the truck is equipped with a rear wiper. Exact sizes can vary by year and cab configuration, so verify for your specific model.
Common front and rear blade sizes for modern Tacomas
For the current generation (roughly 2016 to present), the typical blade lengths are:
- Front driver-side blade: 26 inches
- Front passenger-side blade: 17 inches
- Rear blade (if equipped): 11 inches
These measurements cover most late-model Tacomas. Older generations or specialty trims may differ, so check your vehicle specifically.
How to verify your exact size
To ensure you buy the correct blades for your exact Tacoma, use these steps:
- Check the owner's manual or the Toyota parts catalog for your year, model (Access Cab or Double Cab), and market.
- Look at the size labeling on your current blades or their packaging; many brands list the blade length clearly.
- Measure directly: remove the blade and measure from end to end, or compare to standard lengths such as 26" and 17" to confirm.
- If you’re unsure, ask a parts counter at a Toyota dealer or trusted auto parts retailer, providing your VIN or exact model details.
Following these steps will help ensure you select the correct blades and avoid fitment issues.
Rear wiper considerations by configuration
Note that not all Tacomas have a rear wiper. The rear blade length is typically 11 inches on those that do, but availability depends on cab style (Access Cab vs Double Cab) and regional specifications. If your truck doesn’t have a rear wiper, this blade size doesn’t apply.
Summary
Bottom line: for most modern Tacomas, plan on 26-inch driver-side and 17-inch passenger-side front blades, with an 11-inch rear blade if your model includes a rear wiper. Always confirm for your exact year, cab configuration, and region to ensure compatibility and optimal visibility in all weather conditions.
