Thanks for the tutorial. Install went great, I love that the kit came with everything and grommets and ties etc. perfectly measured. I originally ordered pop n lock but returned it after seeing your vid.
Hello, I would like to inform you that I was able to install the genuine powered tailgate in my 2023 access cab using your video. Although the grommet location is slightly different, everything else was quite similar! Thank you for the video!
Just installed the same after watching your video. Great how to vid! Toyota wanted 2 hours to install and thanks to your video it took me 45 to 60 minutes.
Picked up my power tailgate lock for my 2020 TRD OR at the dealership yesterday and because they were slow the Service Dept. offered to install for me, they quoted 2.5hrs of labor/$387.50, I politely said no. Thanks much for the detailed video. Took me over an hour+ to get it installed but well worth it
I cant thank you enough for posting this! After watching your video 5 times, I went to my local Toyota dealership, bought the kit, and had it installed in just over 1 hour! It works like a charm on my 2018 Tacoma TRD Sport!
Received the kit today. Took a couple hours to install, with McGivering the no harness to attach too issue. Worked like a charm. Thanks for your original video steering me in the right direction.
Just did mine, Your video was extremely helpful. The cheap locking washer was the only thing I didn't like about the kit, other than that much better than the pop and lock. Thanks!
Installed on my 2021today. Thank you for sharing your video. It’s relatively easy to do. Just to let others know that the 2020/2021 kits are not Toyota POPnLOCK as they were for 2018, these 2020+ are a truly a Toyota manufactured part.
Awesome, thanks for the straight forward step by step walk-thru and especially the ordering options. Wonderful! I just bought a brand new 2020 and the automatic rear lock thing is the only thing I really miss, so this video is very helpful. Side note - really nice that the rear led bed lights are so easy to install now. On the 2020 Tacomas Toyota has pre-wired them to connect to the tail lights, instead of needing to running all that wiring forward.
Thanks for posting this video! My local dealership wants $599 to do this. Glad to see there was no programming needed that would have prohibited me from doing this install myself!
Thanks for this awesome video! Just installed in my new 2021. Your video really made the project easy and saved me $280 which is what the dealership wanted to charge for the install.
Great video, thanks for posting! There have been some minor revisions to the instructions, mostly just clarifications. My kit did not include instructions but the local dealer was happy to email me the current Toyota installation instructions, so it might be worth asking when you order the kit.
Your AWESOME! Thanks for the info, I ordered the part, you posted the part number. Dealer said he didn't think it would work as my 2018 OR was not listed for the number. Took me less than 2 hrs, as I took my time, and double checked everything. Thanks again!
Thanks for this! Was about to buy a Pop and Lock as well but then read some negative reviews of those freezing up in the winter. Where I live (Canada) that would be a no-go for me but was lucky to have ran across your video. Thank you!
So awesome knowing there is an OEM offering instead of an aftermarket option that doesn't require cutting into factory wiring! I will definitely add this to the list of mods to do once I eventually pick up my Tacoma! Thank you!
Running4tacos has one that’s doesn’t require splicing, and it’s cheaper than OEM. I put it on my 2021 off road. But you may still want OEM. Just tossing that out there. Good luck.
Enough said! I’m returning the pop n lock. Factory system is only a little more expensive. Quality of parts and ease of install is worth the price difference!
Just received the factory kit for Christmas so this definitely helps my installation on my 2016. I too was going to do the Pop and Lock until I saw the factory kit, I wasn’t a fan of cutting the stock harness.
After watching the Pop n Lock video and watching yours, it’s a no brained to use the Toyota OEM harness. Well worth the money. Although I found one about the same price. Note: One supplier said the long bed version “-35jl0” was back ordered not due til February 2021! Check around the with others however.
Thanks for posting the video. Ordered mine today. This is gonna help big time. Manual calls for the unplugging of the negative battery prior to install. Did you end up doing that or did you skip it?
Manuals always call for disconnecting the negative cable when working on electrical. This is a good practice but because this circuit is basically inactive when the key is off and i was not cutting into anything, i was not concerned with disconnecting it
I bought A 2019 used , It has the kit installed but it is not working. I have a feeling that clip must have fell off because I hear the actuator clicking
@@lilaznkiz1 check out the specs: TOYOTA Genuine 2019 & Newer Tacoma Long Wheelbase Tailgate Lock PK3B6-35JL0. make sure you select the correct wheelbase for your tacoma.
Thank you for the video very good the only think I messed up was that hole are located under the copilot o was thinking was on the rear so a took it a part more that I Supposed to😝, you video give me the confidence to order the lock Actuator and do it my self and save 200 dolls on labor from dealer, thank you again.
Into I found your video, I thought only Pop and Lock was my option. That is a very loud unit. This seems less noticably with using. Thank you for the video.
I folded them back over themselves and made sure the tails wouldn’t rub on anything to prevent problems. I was thinking of the technicians in the future like me that have to fish my arm up around that muffler. Lol
@@OhioLiving yes My SR5 does not have a harness to zip tie to I was able to make it work with different mounting hold on the frame rail but for sure nothing like the directions show I saw another comment on here saying the same thing ...though I was replying to them
A possible correction if I may. When you mention the fuses on the new harness I believe you state there is a relay there. I have found no relay. Otherwise thanks for your help.
"Toyota asks that you put two zip ties here." Really? I could find nothing from Toyota regarding installation . No instructions in my kit either. Pretty disappointed with Toyota. However, thank YOU for this video. I will be doing this on my 21 TRD Pro tomorrow. 🙏🙏🙏
I just purchased and installed yesterday, and believe it or not, there were no instructions included in the box! If you follow the instructions in the video, it will work perfectly.
Appreciate the video! I couldn’t download your instructions but found some that look to be the official ones. They call for “3M Ultrapro Auto Body Sealant 08302” for the edge clip in the tailgate. Did you use anything here? It’s like a $30 tube of sealant for one tiny step.
No I used some grease on it. The reason they want you to use something here is that the clip has a bite to it and will scratch the coating on the internal bar inside the tailgate. I used some grease on mine but if your in a dry climate I would not be concerned with it
My understanding is that the OEM product IS the Pop N Lock. Did that change at some point? Anyone know for sure? If this is now a Toyota option, is it port-installed or factory-installed? Southeast Toyota Distributors offers this as an accessory, but I am not clear if that is a Toyota part or a rebranded Pop N Lock part. What is the factory part number and price?
Fantastic video, super grateful for such great direction from an extremely awesome Tacoma owner. I only hope to be as Taco savvy as you with my beast. Only two things. One, if you could show us how to get the door sill and the kick plate off, like where you pryed and what you had to move that would be great. Also, if you need me to buy you new snips, or the diagonal cutter, I'd be more than happy LOL I mean where have you been storing that thing? In a swamp? A coffee pot? Seems a bit Rusty for such a Craftsman LOL
Michael, thanks for the feedback. As for the Snap On cutters I originally come from Las Vegas and we moved to west central Ohio about 6 years ago. The humidity alone has caused this. It really upsets me to watch this happen and only some tools are doing this but it doesn’t make it any less painful
@@OhioLiving I feel you boss! Got moved around with the military a ton, and it was so crazy when we moved to Florida to watch how little I could do about salt and humidity corrosion. But like I said, I'm just jealous of your extremely adept teaching style, and your fantastic editing. Once again, incredible video. Now my next addition is getting an air compressor installed inside of the truck under the hood and figuring out how people do that.
@@OhioLiving dealership installed aftermarket is what I've seen, if you want to compare that to competition now we're talking aftermarket customized. Comparisons.
The kit is a factory toyota kit and if you special order the vehicle you can add it as an option. Most people buy what the dealer chose as options for inventory.
@@OhioLiving You are correct. I ordered mine from Amazon for my 2021 Tacoma. It is factory OEM. I do wish Toyota would make it standard equipment.The Homelink mirror was standard on my 2021 but not my 2018. Maybe the next time I trade the tailgate lock will be standard.
Looks like you ran it to the passenger side to connect. Was the wire long enough? I'm considering getting the long bed version for my short bed to get the extra foot of harness. Thoughts having installed this?
My instruction sheet says that the tailgate harness needs to be secured ABOVE the camera harness, not below it. They point it out a couple of times to ensure correct installation.
Ohio Living I watched the video a few times, I need a clarification: At the kick panel, do I remove the factory connector and leave it unplugged and just plug in the new connector and that's it ?? Thanks.
When running the harness under the truck around the exhaust area where the metal ties are used, is the new harness wrapped in foil tape or does it go into that same heat shielded portion for the camera harness?
I have a 2020 Tacoma SR5 double cab short bed and my camera wire runs under the drivers side. Do I try to follow the camera wire to the driver side or do I mount the wire on the frame of passenger side?
You will need to check the passenger side kick panel and see if the connector is there for the harness. If it is then you would need to run it down the passanger side
Noticed the same thing on my 2020 SR5. Wish there were some readily available Toyota instructions for where to run it but I'm finding none so just doin it live.
Now we got a problem. My 2020 SR/SX C-cab access cab Tacoma doesn’t have a harness that runs back the passenger side frame rail. It’s partially on the drivers side!!
Yes. But it runs up the drivers side. Problem would be the existing harness i bought is likely too short to cross over and back if I can even find a good spot to do that.
Yes there are the 2 connector blocks inside the panel in the same location as shown in your video. Also, I found a string on “Tacoma World” that confirms there isn’t a harness on the “SR” models. Will have to figure a way to zip tie through the holes in the frame rails I guess.
@OhioLiving Out curiosity: I have 16 Sport DCSB. In theory, I'm believing this would work. I doubt much of the wiring has (or had) changed in 4 years. Do you believe this might fit for my truck?
I don’t know why Toyota doesn’t list all third gen (2016- current) Tacoma’s on their parts listing. It only shows 2018-2020 figment. I would look over the video and verify the tailgate latch, harness connector and hole in the floor are the same and then I say go for it!
@@playdixie just out of curiosity, how did the install go for you for the 2016. I read on Tacoma forums that it should work perfectly. Just bought it for my 2017 tacoma. let me know, thanks!
I have my door locks set to unlock with one push of the button. Will the tailgate open with the door locks every time or do you always push it twice to open the tailgate? Also, from the video it sounds a lot quieter than the pop and lock. Is that just the video or is it really that quiet? Thanks for the upload. Seems pretty straight forward.
It will trigger on the passanger doors so if you have them set to unlock on one push it should. I have never used the pop and lock so i cant say but this is very quiet
@@OhioLiving It works in all 3rd gens apparently. Saw another video of a guy installing one on his 2017 and ordered mine. It works perfectly and the fact it is OEM is a plus vs the other options out there
Kevin I would imagine that it could work on all third gen Tacoma’s (2016- Current) however Toyota’s parts listing shows it only working for 18-20. Look over the video and verify that the connector for the harness, tailgate latch and hole in the floor are the same and if so I would imagine it would work
Part numbers are in the description and I just found a Toyota dealer online and ordered from them. Shop around by part number and you will find a dealer running a sale
There are different kits for the long and the short bed with different length wire looms. The part number in the description is the one for the short bed. Surprised it worked in the long bed like the video. Must have not been any slack leftover! You'll even see at 0:48 when he takes it out of the box that it says it is for the Short Bed.
Tim I said the same thing when I opened the box. I even checked twice to make sure that the kit I ordered fit the long bed. I purchased from Toyota and they told me it was for the long bed so I check the harness length and it was perfect. I would not be surprised if Toyota only has one kit that fits both because you can always roll up the extra for the short bed. If you have a different part number for a long bed kit please share!

Thank you so much
Posted. Check the video description for the link
Did he post instructions?
I did check the link in the description
had this installed today and back up camera no longer works. any reason anyone can think of?
Check the harness at the tailgate where it comes out the bottom. Who installed it for you?
I have my door locks set to unlock with one push of the button. Will the tailgate open with the door locks every time or do you always push it twice to open the tailgate? Also, from the video it sounds a lot quieter than the pop and lock. Is that just the video or is it really that quiet? Thanks for the upload. Seems pretty straight forward.
It will trigger on the passanger doors so if you have them set to unlock on one push it should.
I have never used the pop and lock so i cant say but this is very quiet
Thanks you made it look easy, I could use a bit more detail ,but maybe it will seem more obvious when I actually install my new kit.
Let me know if you have any questions when you get the kit and I will be happy to help
Will this work for 2018 ?
Did you bought it from Toyota or is there a wed site
I ordered it froma toyota dealer online
Where did you buy yours
Where did you find the instructions guide. Thanks
It came with the kit
Ohio Living my didn’t came with instructions lol
hwm9 hmmm. Let me see if i still have them and maybe we can find a way to get you the images if I cant find a link for them
Were you able to find installation instructions?
Sorry just found your link
Hopefully it still works
Will it work in a 2017?
I am not sure. Does your tailgate have a key lock?
I know it works in the 2018.
@@OhioLiving It works in all 3rd gens apparently. Saw another video of a guy installing one on his 2017 and ordered mine. It works perfectly and the fact it is OEM is a plus vs the other options out there
@@SDMTB14 I had a feeling it would but I was not 100% so I didn’t want to steer you wrong. Glad it worked out!
I have an access cab do you know if I need the long bed version or short bed?
Either will work
I would go with the short bed version
Do you have any idea if it fits a 17? Why is it only 18-20?
Kevin I would imagine that it could work on all third gen Tacoma’s (2016- Current) however Toyota’s parts listing shows it only working for 18-20. Look over the video and verify that the connector for the harness, tailgate latch and hole in the floor are the same and if so I would imagine it would work
Did you get the kit for 2017 and worked?
I have 2017 wondering the same.
Where did you order this kit from?
Part numbers are in the description and I just found a Toyota dealer online and ordered from them. Shop around by part number and you will find a dealer running a sale
Does bed length matter?
I have the 6 foot bed and this kit fit perfect. If the bed was any longer it would not
There are different kits for the long and the short bed with different length wire looms. The part number in the description is the one for the short bed. Surprised it worked in the long bed like the video. Must have not been any slack leftover! You'll even see at 0:48 when he takes it out of the box that it says it is for the Short Bed.
Tim I said the same thing when I opened the box. I even checked twice to make sure that the kit I ordered fit the long bed. I purchased from Toyota and they told me it was for the long bed so I check the harness length and it was perfect. I would not be surprised if Toyota only has one kit that fits both because you can always roll up the extra for the short bed. If you have a different part number for a long bed kit please share!
@@RecBuddha check out this link and read it parts.toyota.com/p/Toyota_2020_Tacoma/Remote-Tailgate-Lock/91139371/PK3B635JS0.html
@@OhioLiving Dug a bit on TW forums and found it - PK3B6-35JL0 is the part number for the tailgate lock kit for the dual cab long bed.
50k for truck and use key for tailgate? Not me
50 K ? I’m not sure where your shopping if you think a Tacoma costs that much.
Never mind I just saw it....
Would be better if you showed everything instead Of passing things up.
What was passed up?
