Tailgate Unlocking Problem 2024 Taco

[Rick Watson]

I am grateful to find this forum. I have just purchased a 2024 Taco. I have an issue with unlocking my tailgate. Unlocking doors does not unlock my tailgate. I do not have a powered tailgate, but only an easy lowering tailgate. Yet, it will not unlock. There is no special button to release it nor a special button on the fob. I tried the Toyota app which does not work all the time to no avail.

Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated— blessings! rick

I assume you are pushing the unlock button twice (driver door ; all doors and tailgate)?

I have not had trouble with mine unlocking, but the latch itself has been super spongy. I live down a dirt road and I wondered if dirt was getting in it causing the issue.
I didn’t have a problem ever with my 3rd gen tailgate.

I’d agree with SethW3. There’s a setting via the display to unlock all doors (vs just the drivers) when unlocking. This may be the issue. Keep us updated.
