    Are you lost about where it is located, how to clean it, or what to clean it with....allow me to retort. 1.Location-next to the tailgate latch(its quite small) 2.What to clean it with-any glass cleaner will work, maybe wash your truck and that will help

    There's a midget that lives next door to me that comes over and licks my lens clean every morning. Get yourself a dwarf.

    And welcome to TW!

    I think you may be looking for something like this <Backup Cam Washer>? This is a mod and your truck does not come with one. The care and cleaning of the camera is in you Tacoma manual.
