I was thinking the same thing. I rotated the picture of the Tacoma to make the bed horizontal and I *think* I see two angles :



The red "12 degrees" line I show above is based on bondo's F-150 shell :

I rotated a picture of the Tacoma that was not a perfect side view, so my visual analysis may be way off. As others have said, the workmanship is beyond reproach. During your design phase, did you contemplate a "12 degree solution" with a CRX-style vertical rear window?
