    Hi.

    When I installed a tailgate mat for my 4th gen, I used an impact drill to tighten down the screws and it appears that I have stripped one of the white plastic inserts in the bed (see photo attached) Anyone know if these can be purchased and replaced? TIA.

    if It’s like most of the other plastic inserts, You could probably pick one up at an auto parts store for cheap. or something similar. That’s how I got mudflaps to install on my dad’s third gen

    You can pick one up at your Toyota dealer parts department it’s a replaceable part.

    Toyota P/N 9018906010 . It's $2.60 apiece if you buy it at your local Toyota dealer. Much cheaper aftermarket.
