Recommended Tailgate Lock to Work with Factory Installed Backup Camera on a 2011 Toyota Tacoma

Question:

I have a 2011 Tacoma Long Bed with review camera in the handle of the tailgate can you tell me if your locking handle will work along with the electric remote? Please send me the part number for the complete kit key lock and remote.

Yes, there is a spot for the backup camera on your 2011 Toyota Tacoma. I have attached a photo showing where the backup camera installs in the Pop and Lock Locking Tailgate Handle, # PAL85403 (white) and # PAL8540 (black).

You will notice a slot in the back of the tailgate handle housing, and a small knock-out on the underside of the housing that would need to be removed.

The power lock works with your factory power lock system, so it locks and unlocks using remote keyless entry your vehicle already has. The manual lock cylinder can be keyed to match your truck key.

The # PAL8550 you were looking at will do the same but not key the manual lock with your current truck keys.
