This will not allow the tailgate to close once installed on a Tacoma. There is not enough clearance. Any suggestions? Thanks

I was told on the Tacoma, you have to install it on the passenger side of the tailgate because the driver side has a full cup and the passenger side has a cut to allow for the tailgate Lock. Hope this helps.

This is basically a hose clamp. I used a stainless steel hose clamp that wasn't so bulky and would clear.

Hello, The best way to ensure this item will fit your specific application is to measure your tailgate. Thank you

when a person takes the tailgate off of a truck he has to slide it over to one side and lift it out. the lock prevents a person from sliding the tailgate over to one side so it can't be lifted out.

The second that is against the tailgate is tapered and rubber coated. It is also self adjusting so you should not have any problems. You could also attach a stap to the tailgate if you still were concerned. I have never had any problem using this unit both using wheel barrel and my power washer. I use my truck bed as a work platform for oil changes and lawn mow ever cleaner. The Lund ramp works great!

It does not. If your tailgate locks, that makes access more difficult. But it is not impossible (or even difficult) to slip a bar between lip of tailgate and Bakflip and "pop" it out of its channel. That being said, I've not had that kind of issue in 4 years I've owned it.

You will have to have a locking tailgate. The cover is retracted by reaching under the right and left rear and releasing the clamps. No locks on cover.

It might clear if you spare tire isn't too wide. Max clearance from my tailgate to the vertical support is 7 1/2 inches. I hope it works for you. Bill

Hello, There should be plenty of clearance for it. The Unit requires a 2" receiver ( hitch) and when installed, has 2 sets of mounting holes to allow plenty of space between the Unit and the bumper.(:

I don't have that tailgate but what fits inside isn't very big. I would say download the installation instructions and then open up your tailgate and look at the room you have inside.

Does not allow hood to close properly on 2015 Tacoma PreRunner Sports. See my review with pics. Check out Tacoma World as well for similar feedback. There must have been a slight change to the body for 2015.

Hi Johhny, this box takes up the alcove space between the back of the rear fender and the area just inside the tailgate. I am guessing you have a fifth wheel plug in that general area, if so it will impede the trailer plug

It could be that the holding brackets Will not fit the upper truck bed rail Or that the cross bars are too short for the size of your truck bed.... Those would be my two guesess . Hope this help!

if the gate is a little bit twisted it doesn't close on its own. look very closely from different angles, may need some tweaking on the install. good luck

I can see how that could be a problem! Ours is mounted on a sedan which keeps the handlebars above the trunk so it doesn't touch. Also, realize this isn't a 'folding' mount so if you mount it to the back of a truck you won't be able to open the tailgate very far. Hope this helps! Jae

I had the same warning from Amazon Garage, but I took the chance (since a lot of other evidence suggested it would) and it worked. When I first tried to attach it, it seemed like it might be the wrong part, because the connections were not facing the wrong direction, and the support was extended a little too far. Once I attached it to the bottom connection, it was easier to rotate the rod so the top connection lined up, and I had to push the tailgate way up so that it was barely enough to slip the top connection on. Works great now.
