Small Security Upgrade (Tailgate Anti-Theft Lock Mod) Makes Quick Tailgate Removal Hard Makes Quick Tailgate Removal Harder — Now Available

It's a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist

Don't all new Tacomas have a locking tail gate? Locks automatically when you lock your doors. Does anyone leave their doors unlocked and then worry about their tail gate being stolen? What am I missing?

I am guilty of having closed my tailgate without locking it. This is to try to protect idiots like me.

Can you lock the doors without locking the tailgate? When I hit the button everything locks. I would be more concerned about leaving the doors unlocked than having the tailgate "unsecured".

I'd be more worried about people stealing stuff out of the bed, vs. the tailgate itself.

I’m not sure. This may have happened when I had a dead battery.

Bought one, installed it in my limited with auto tailgate. The tailgate works perfectly. Do I think it’s a must have? No, but for $10-15 or whatever it was, why not. I do like how it’s powder coated so it blends in. Took a minute to install. Thanks Jeremy.

Just ordered one - couldn't beat that price for ~$10.

Drop any feedback here!

Looks good.

Fair question. Keeping the tailgate locked already provides protection. Our bracket adds a separate physical barrier at the hinge, making the tailgate harder to remove if it’s ever left unlocked or the factory lock is compromised. It’s an optional extra layer of security that works alongside the factory lock.
