    Had this feature on my 2023 Tundra. Not talking about the taillight button. Talking about the KEY FOB button. Thought it was a gimmick before but actually used it quite often.

    Wondering if anyone has any intel or guidance on this mod.

    What do you mean by "mod"?

    As far as I know, any Tacoma with the power tailgate has the open/close button on the key fob. Are you asking about adding the power tailgate to one that didn't ship with it?

    To have a powered tailgate, it's going to take a lot more than the fob, such as a motor, software, and possibly new taillights.

    I don’t want the tail lights.. Just want the fob button.

    I’m thinking it’s gonna need..
    New fob
    Tail gate latch release
    Programming of some sort

    This function is standard on all 2022+ Tundras
