Ways to Prevent the Theft of Your Toyota Truck’s Tailgate
A pickup truck is awesome because you have plenty of space to haul cargo – including crates of citrus fruits from the nearby groves, construction supplies for that home renovation project, and that piece of furniture at the department store that your wife just had to have. When you choose a 2018 Toyota Tundra or Tacoma as your pickup truck, you will enjoy an easy-to-use tailgate that allows for easy loading and unloading. You are not the only one who loves truck tailgates. When given the chance someone could easily steal yours either because they can make good money, or they would rather replace theirs for free than shelling out big bucks for a new one. Luckily, there are a couple of ways to prevent the theft of your Toyota truck’s tailgate.
Keep Your Tailgate Up
Many truck drivers like keeping their tailgate down because it supposedly helps with aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. However, leaving the tailgate down is a beckoning invitation to thieves because it is unlocked and extremely easy to remove. Whenever you are not using the tailgate for long pieces of cargo, keep it in its upright position and locked.
Use a Truck Cap or Tonneau Cover
A truck cap/tonneau cover is always a great idea anti-theft protection! They not only keep your cargo hidden and secure – they also provide additional locking mechanisms to your tailgate so that it won’t get stolen!
