Tacoma tailgates are behind in innovations

Not quite the tailgate, but I can get into this idea.

 

Yes.

 

I believe someone in here did this mod on their Tacoma and documented it here. I can't recall what generation. I'll try and find the post.

 

I genuinely don't know whether you actually believe this, but no vehicle contains free features. None.

I just went and configured a basic white Canyon with 4WD (no MT, no locker) and I have to pay for a $1600 option to get a sliding rear window and keyed lock on top of the $41k MSRP.

On a Ranger I can get 4WD for a lower MSRP, but there's still an $1,100 option to get the remote locking tailgate. Gotta pay extra for the locker too, and no MT.

Where are all these free features?

And if I get a free feature in my truck I'd rather Toyota throw in an AT Atlas conversion for free. Might as well ask for good stuff while it's all free, right?

I owned BMWs for decades with whiz-bang standard features that are still optional extras on a lot of other brands' modern offerings. They were cool, but they sure as hell weren't free.

You can tell by the fact that there are very few people actually doing this mod, as compared to hundreds of other possible things that can be done to a truck, that it's of very little consequence to most people. If that component is left out then that's fine by me. If you think that the trucks where this is free don't factor it into the MSRP with a markup, well... then perhaps you'd be interested in a bridge?

 

Your BMW ownership answers everything I need to know.

 

Still waiting on that list of trucks that throws this in for free.

 

I’m very glad we made it to this day, let’s celebrate!

Cheers!

 

Righteous choice.

 

Quite nice! Enjoy my friend!

I also got a lil present from my manager today. Not the best whiskey but hey, it’s free.

 

You are a lucky son of a gun. I wish I could do that.

 

I don’t trust people who don’t drink beer or swear.

 

After owning 2 Tacoma’s and 1 pre Tacoma 1989 did I ever want or need my tailgate to stay open at a 45 degree angle. It’s either open or closed.

 

Yes, thank you.

 

Alcohol bad.

I’ll back you in this battle pun intended

 

Beer is forgivable. I'll withhold judgement until you state a wrong opinion regarding proper tire size and oil change interval.

 

Depends on how you feel about the fumoto valve

 

I retract my earlier opinion. That is unforgivable.
