Don't let thieves steal your cargo or tailgate. Add security for your valuables with this chromed ABS plastic tailgate handle that has a keyed, steel tailgate lock. Perfect for use with tonneau covers and camper shells. Replaces your OEM handle.
Features:
Frustrate tailgate thieves and cargo bandits with this key-operated, replacement tailgate handle. Use the Pop & Lock with your truck-bed cover or camper shell whenever you need to lock up valuables in your truck bed
Replace your existing factory tailgate handle with this chromed ABS plastic tailgate handle that has a built-in lock. The Pop & Lock locking mechanism is made of sturdy, armored steel to resist tampering. Because this locking handle replaces your factory tailgate handle, thieving varmints can't pop out the lock. The lock is raised slightly for convenient key access and to help prevent pinching. And the handle installs easily using basic tools - no welding or drilling is necessary. The stylish chrome finish enhances your vehicle's appearance, and the custom design gives you a straight-from-the-factory look.
A new tailgate can cost you hundreds - the Pop & Lock saves you the cost and aggravation of replacing a stolen tailgate.

The PAL5300 is not an exact fit with the 2014 Tacoma, which is why we do not have it listed that way in the fitguide. I did speak with Pop and Lock, and they will be releasing new part numbers that will be compatible with the 2014 Tacomas in the coming weeks. They will be part PAL5500 and PAL5400 with the latter having the ability to be keyed alike with the OEM keys.

Secure, sturdy and reliable even at 0 deg F. Locks with the same key as the truck. I dont have a tailgate camera so I cant comment on that.

We have used this just about everyday. This has given us extra storage area that is secure. I wish I would of done this years ago. Worth every penny and will definitely do it again whenif we purchase another truck without locking tailgates.

Lock has worked great for the past year. It feels a little loose inside but still works great. The color has faded from the original black to lighter grey but honestly, I expected that in the southern summers we have. Very happy with this product and will certainly purchase again.
