Easy to install and works great

Installed PL8540 on my 2015 Tacoma. Easy to install and works great for a few months. I installed it in October and in January (3 months later) the plastic shaft/bracket on the solenoid broke. The lock doesn't work and I have to put the original handle back on. I wouldn't buy it until the shaft is metal.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Can't remember but something happened

Toyota Tacoma Fits Trucks & Trunk Accessories

Pop & Lock Trunk installed by Guam Auto Clinic. The lock works like a charm, locking and unlocking with a factory key fob. The Guam Auto Clinic took about 2 hours. The mechanic told me there were only two patches attaching the black mold to the tailgate frame and that it was easier. Recommend this tailgate lock for securing items in the truck bed (Toyota Tacoma 15'). Many Thanks

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

4 out of 5 stars Product

Fits and looks good. The only small detail was that the included cables were a bit shorter at 5 feet. I had to buy additional cables. Maybe it was because my Tacoma is a long bed and I did a really professional install by routing all the cables down the left side of the chassis and using all 12 inch straps. Another thing is that the ABS plastic looks and feels a bit cheap compared to the original grip. The mechanism is noisy, but not critical.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Fair

Works exactly as advertised. I installed it in about an hour and it works great. It seems a bit "cheaper" than a factory pen, but I had no trouble getting it to work. I have a complaint. If you forget the tailgate is locked and try to force it open, the plastic lever on the back of the handle will get caught under another part. It has happened to me twice, the first time I just locked and unlocked it a few times and it became free. The second time I had to dismantle and manually release theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Fits

Coped with a few minor issues but nothing stopping me from buying it again

The PL8540 was easy to install and despite the crappy packaging it worked perfectly. The instructions were clear enough and it helps to go to their website and see the best resolution pictures in the online manual (booklet). As others have said, it's noisy, but I don't see it as a problem. The only 2 issues I have are minor but the reason it's not 5 stars is that turning my ignition key on worked fine but you have to wiggle it after coding to get the lock to turn. never mind Another thing isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Has issues

Highly recommend tailgate latch assembly

Great product. I bought this from Revain for my 2015 Tacoma double bed after putting a cover on it. This allows me to lock my bed (back door) with my original FOB truck key. When I lock the truck doors, the tailgate locks too. When I unlock my truck with FOB, the back door also opens. I also have the option of using my original truck ignition key to unlock and lock the back door. The only downside would be the loud clicking of the mechanism when locking or unlocking. I'm still happy with it and

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • cable is shorter than other picks

Love my lock.but - trunk locks

I've been using Pop n Lock for about a month. He does exactly what he says he should do. It unlocks and locks the tailgate with both my key fob and the key that came with the truck. Bolt codeable technology seems a bit finicky. Much like you need to keep your mouth shut properly, not blink, and hold your breath for this to always work. The camera works very well. I routed the cables slightly differently than the directions that went straight into the cockpit and under the seat of my 2014 Tacoma

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Some flaws

This tailgate lock is awesome! Perfect for my 2015 Toyota Tacoma

This tailgate lock is awesome! Perfect fit for my 2015 Toyota Tacoma. Easy to install! Money saved by buying from Revain. Delivered quickly. Before purchasing I called Pop & Lock to see if the warranty was still valid if I bought it from Revain. They told me that if I had a problem with it, there would be no problem. Good to hear! I found a YouTube video to see the installation. The instructions will tell you how to route the wiring from the tailgate under the truck into the engine bay and then
