    Picked up my 2023 Sport today and noticed that the cargo lights are different from my 2020 model. My truck is a Gulf States region truck.

    My 2023 does not have lights like the ones you pictured. They are more like your 2020 lights. Mine were factory installed. Would suspect you’re 2023 lights are dealer added

    Yeah my 2023 are like the 2020 and they were port installed. I agree with faa most likely dealer or aftermarket.

    Maybe they’re an upgraded style of LED lights. I like them better anyway!

    If Gulf States is anything like SE Toyota there's probably a $999 distributor installed option charge for those on your Monroney sticker.

    They aren't as bad as SE Toyota then. They only charged $110 more.

    I utilized the new cargo light style last night for the first time and I am pleased to say that the 2023 cargo lights are much brighter than the 2020 cargo lights. The additional brightness for the 2023 may possibly be attributed to a clear lens and a slight downward angle on the light device.
