Had a Tacoma for 10 years and used them a lot,even for putting a cargo net over trash when riding to the dump.Both a used Tundra ,one with the rails but no cleats ,found a set of 4 on eBay new for $45.
Just like Mike Hodgens, I keep my back headrests up. The view doesn't really matter since I put 5% tint on the back and rear side windows so it comes out to 0% on a tint meter. That pretty much makes it hard to see out the back at night, but if someone has HID lights with a lot of glare in back of me, it doesn't bother me at all. During the day, it's perfect, not pitch black, but I can easily see outside.
I have a 2021 SR5 that came with the deck rail system. The dealership gave me 4 of the cleats. I put a Retrax XR Pro cover on and it fits just fine over the cleats with one caveat: you won’t be able to lock in the Retrax at any point on the rail where there is a cleat. My current solution to that is to put the two cleats on either side next to each other in the middle of the rail. So far I tend to lock the Retrax on fully open or fully closed position anyway.
The system is $214 on Amazon, but the cleats are $42 each. I don't know what the cost is at the dealer. My truck came with the system, and love it. I did see some less expensive cleats, but they look like black plastic.
I had the deck rail system with the sliding cleats factory installed / came with , my 2006 Tacoma. But I've never had one on a Tundra! It's like they don't come WITH Tundras like they do on Tacomas? Strange? By the way, it just hit me: you don't have your Trifecta 2.0 Extang any longer? You LOVED your Extang Trifecta 2.0??
can i ask what your going to be using those tie downs for or are they just for show... and on ur last video i got a 2017 tss and my truck came with a spray in bed liner for what you paid for your truck it should have came with one
I was trying to install mine, but I have the Bakflip G2 tonneau cover in place, and I can't seem to get the cleats to pop into the track. Frustrating....
Well, you've probably checked yours by now. For anyone else, utility rails are standard on the '17 Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition and TRD Pro models. Tundra brochure isn't clear if the cleats are std. My 1794 came w/rails and cleats. The Rugged Liner on TD34's looks great!
MrNinjav10 Hey! I just picked up my 2018 last Friday. Brand new, off the lot. End of the year sale. And have been shopping for some time. Now looking at extras . Missing some key extras. Step rails, tonno cover and bed insert.This page with all the comments are a year old. Not sure how to update. Your thoughts?

Hey Thanks for video. I just bought a 2019 Tundra Crewmax Limited. It came with a deck rail system. The cleats were super easy to install!
Nothing better then a nice, easy install!
Thanks for the help with the cleats.

I bought 2 extra cleats off ebay for $40 for the pair so I have 2 on each rail. A few ratch straps under the back seat and I am ready for any hauling.
+Tom Moser perfect!
That intro was amazing haha
+Preston Sutherland hahaha!
Very useful video. I was wondering what those things were they included.
Same 😂😂

+CA1460 Anctil great system!
I've noticed that too! You always keep the rear headrests tilted down. Always wondered why. LOL
+William Throckmorton for a better view but after all of your complaints, they are back up lol
I cant install mine due to liner blocking rail entry at both ends...is there a way im not seeing?
Very nice!
👍🏼
This is off topic of the video, but can you tell me does the 2017 5.7l have direct injection? I had a hard time finding a clear answer. Thanks
+mictdave1 i believe so but dont quote me

+William Throckmorton yea that one went with the Pro. New one will be here shortly 😉
Thank You
can i ask what your going to be using those tie downs for or are they just for show... and on ur last video i got a 2017 tss and my truck came with a spray in bed liner for what you paid for your truck it should have came with one
+Kawika Householder i agree about the bedliner. And i use the tie downs for when we head up to the mountains. The bed is always packed
that should be the intro every time, lol!!
+Andy Christensen haha i figured you guys would like that
also...better get that lawn mowed soon :)
+Andy Christensen haha it grows so fast
I was trying to install mine, but I have the Bakflip G2 tonneau cover in place, and I can't seem to get the cleats to pop into the track. Frustrating....
+thumperpaul its a huge pain
Why do u keep back headrest down. They look better up.
+Mike Hodgens lol better rear view
Gonna have too see if my 1794 has the rails
+Anthony Mcgovern i believe it is standard on the upper trims

Mine definitely don't install that way, I think the bed is in the way
+Drumdeals Grier kind of a pain to get it started but it pops in
Can anyone please confirm if these will not interfere with the Retrax Pro toneau cover I already have installed on my Tundra truck. Thx!
