I was wondering if anyone has added power to a standard tailgate on a 4th gen Taco. And if so please provide details or links to how it's down.

I wanted the Premium package when I looked for my newly purchased TRD OR but the power tailgate is the one feature I wish my truck didn't have. I curious why you want the feature. The tailgate is already pretty dang lightweight. I do like the tailgate release feature. But I see the motorized lift feature as two failure points(lift and latch) that are unnecessary. Just my opinion.

You’re right about the tailgate being pretty lightweight. I just thought it would be a nice feature to have.

It is a neat feature. I hope to learn to appreciate it and that it will provide me with long term trouble free usage. I may not be giving Toyota enough credit because they have been doing power lift gates on SUV's for many years. The tailgate is likely less weight which may lead to being even more trouble free. I like it.... as long as it's working. :sunglasses:
