    Has anyone found a solution to reduce the amount of dust that gets pulled into the truck bed when driving on dirt roads? I didn't notice the bed getting this dusty in my Tacoma, but it had a canopy, not a tonneau cover. Maybe it's the say the air flows around this bed that draws the dust up. Is there an elegant way to cover the tailgate opening to reduce the dust?

    It gets sucked up through the gap at the bottom of the tailgate. Cheapest solution is to place a towel across the gap after closing the tailgate. I did this for awhile with my 2020.

    As mentioned, you can also get a tailgate seal or gapper to lessen or stop dust getting in.

    Interesting observation.....the wife and I are almost exclusively on paved roads with a couple of grassy gravel driveways thrown in.

    Not that some dust would bother us! What with the mowing biz, the inside has a light coating of "powered grass" just about everywhere. LOL

    The bed.....ugh.....spilled gasoline, spilled (chainsaw) bar oil, grass, dirt, trash we pick up, weedeater string bits, our wood blocks......empty energy drink cans....real mess back there! LOL
