If it can fit in a minivan just barley, it'll fit just fine in your truck. I took mine to the dealer for the first service in my family's van. ARe you taking the bike home yourself? Make sure you have atleast 2 people to take the bike down, you need to build a ramp unless you already own one. 10 feet long, 2 inches thick, ramparts ramp.

My other ride is a 95 dodge dakota (similar size to the tacoma) and with the buddy tire touching the relatively wide toolbox, i had to have the tailgate down. If you don't have a toolbox then it shouldn't be a problem at all. Sorry I can't give you the dimensions, I'm out of town away from the buddy.
