I’ve been watching this weird trend of Toyota Tacoma tailgate thefts cropping up all over the country… and I think I’ve found where they’re going.
Thousands of Tacoma tailgates are popping up on Facebook Marketplace right now, and some of these sellers? Let’s just say they’re moving an improbable amount of product if the tailgates aren’t stolen.

Oh dear, if the Tesla vandalists discover this, then we’re gonna see a lot of Cybertrucks without tailgates.
Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s wiring and shit in the tailgate that’s not cleanly removable without snapping cables
The back camera is integrated, so you’re very correct
Edit: this means nothing, as pointed out below…
That doesn’t necessarily mean that the cables don’t have a disconnect. Pretty much every pickup in the US since like 2010 has had the backup camera integrated into the tailgate. In the articles photo you can even see the cable pigtails on the Taco tailgates
Very good point, feeling dumb not having thought about that…
That would really be a pity if somebody would snap those cables when stealing the tailgate.
