Here's something else that I added to the Tundra a few days ago. This SHOULD have been factory installed (my neighbor's 2017 Ram has one). It's a Power Tailgate Lock that is wired in and locks/unlocks the tailgate with the key/fob buttons.
This product was designed and is sold by a woman named Katie. It took me about 2.5 hours to install it, but I'm old and slow. It is truly plug-n-play, but running the cable is a PITA. This is a great product that I can recommend totally. Katie also sells this on eBay for those with a fat PayPal account. Toyota has it's own version of this, but their kit costs $150+ rather than $100, plus another $300-350 for the dealer to install it. Insane. Of course you can install it yourself too.
I had to read through the entire thread several times before I felt comfortable tackling the install, as Katie doesn't supply any written instructions. It turned to be easier than I anticipated, and I did it in 3 separate parts, again as I'm old and I hate the cold concrete--plus it was freezing outside.
