Bed Light only on Double Cab...

I thought I was going to get a bed light in my taco because I didn't see it listed on the upgrades from the premium and technology package. Am I missing something or was I supposed to get one. Does one of the parts guys on here know if I can buy the light and switch and add in the factory one myself or if there are missing wires if I didn't get the tech package?

 

from what i've gathered, bedlight only comes on double-cabs.

 

The manual (pg 387) only refers to the cargo lamp "if equipped." I thought it was an option for the TRDs and Limited, but it may be that the technology package is required.

 

Damn, was that listed someplace where I could have noticed it? I don't understand why Toyota hasn't put one on every truck they sell. Does it not get dark outside in Japan?

 

Mine is a loaded AC. no light. must be DC only

 

yeah, this video lists it as being standard on double cab models. Does that make sense for some reason I don't understand? It seems like if you have the truck with the more useful bed you probably are going to use the bed more and maybe sometimes it is dark outside...

I have a trd sport dcsb and I do NOT have the tech package. My truck comes with a bed light. So, no need for the package! Could just be a short bed thing.

It does get dark in Japan, btw...but not if you have a long bed

 

I came to this thread thinking this...

 

Makes no sense why it can't come on an Access Cab.

 

I can help with aftermarket light kit.

 

For some bizarre reason the access cab doesn't have the bed light.

 

We have to wait 10 years to get a frinking bed light and now its not standard on all Tacoma's? Typical Toyota BS.

 

Only the double cabs get a bud light

 

Only on double cabs? Thats a complete lack of logic...I wonder how they made that decision.

Maybe you can have the dealer put one in? I'd bet it will be standard on 2017 for all models.

 

Has there been any official word on the reasoning for access cabs not having the bed light?

 

Is your light LED?

Yep...super bright. Comes on automatically when you get out of the truck and blinds the shit out of me every night...in a good way. Standby for a photo.

 

Yup, that's some high tech there Toyota. Gen 2.5

 

Ofiicial word from Toyota. "We are cheap a$$. Now give me $40K"
