Tacoma Tailgate Cap – 4th Gen (2024+) Replacement

A replacement tailgate cap for the 4th gen (2024+) Toyota Tacoma. Remove the annoying lip from the top of your Tacoma tailgate so your camper or topper tailgate can close.

Why you need it

The stock 4th gen Tacoma tailgate cap has a lip designed into it. With a topper or truck camper installed, that lip gets in the way and prevents the camper's tailgate from closing. This replacement cap removes the lip, so the tailgate and camper work together.

Kit includes

• Replacement tailgate cap
  • Formed aluminum structure
  • With CNC'd Starboard cap
• Install Instructions

Fits

4th gen Toyota Tacoma (2024 and newer), including TRD and Trailhunter trims.

Cap, cover, or protector?

This is a structural replacement cap for the top of the tailgate, not a drop-in liner or bed mat. If you searched for a Tacoma tailgate cover or tailgate protector to clear the stock lip for a camper or topper, this is the part.

Already own an X1?

This same tailgate cap is included in the Tacoma G4 Retrofit Kit and the X1 G4 Tacoma Adapter Kit. Buy it here if you only need the cap.
