How we got this number

Toyota does not publish per-bedstyle figures. Forum consensus across Tacoma World, CustomTacos, and TTORA describes Stepsides as 'uncommon' across the four model years offered (2000–2003). At a low single-digit percentage of total first-gen Tacoma production, an 8-year cumulative band of 15k–35k brackets the plausible range; midpoint used by the algorithm.
