    You'll never get the quality of the oem handle with an aftermarket locking handle. My opinion, the electric lock is best. You keep the quality Toyota handle and use an electric lock.

    Do the electric locks have to use the existing factory remote? I don't want the bed accessable by valets.

    It ties into the factory door locks. Unlocks when you unlock the cab doors.

    Do they have to work that way? As I said, I don't want the bed accessible to valets.

    They do not come with a separate remote.
