    2022 Tacoma left hand drive (USA). I would like to be able to operate the pickup from the passenger side in addition to the standard driver side controls. Are there any kits out there that would accomplish this?

    Off road use only. Truck will never see a public roadway.

    Considering they only make the Tacoma in left hand drive, I’ll say no

    The answer is, absolutely.

    Rural carriers are required to install RHD.
    My mail lady drives a right hand drive 3rd gen Tacoma.
    My wife drove a right hand drive 4Runner when delivering for the USPS.
    As of a few years ago, kits in the SE were running around $3,500, installed.

    My letter carrier is too cheap and drives from the passenger seat. It is scary to watch. I don't understand how he doesn't get a ticket, but has been doing it for years.

    They used to let them get away with that here, but the RHD is now a prerequisite.
    The whole driving against traffic on rural roads and a thousand blind corners...

    Drivers ed vehicles are equipped with varying degrees of right hand drive controls, while maintaining the complete left set as well.
    Absolutely plausible

    The majority of our rural carriers here drive from the passenger seat, a few have RHD jeeps and they are always broken down.
