    This is for a Hilux, but just imagine.

    Wow, that is badass.

    Checkout the Rivian storage options sometime as well.

    I can't see a pair of long guns riding in that tailgate compartment without beating each other to pieces on a rough road or trail.

    The hidden tail light drawer seems the better solution.

    Foam cut outs solve that issue. Both locations are vulnerable to damage. ESP also sells an under seat lockable storage

    Not for '07-'13 crewmax. The seat bottoms slide, but don't fold up

    I think the tailgate storage would be awesome for recovery gear though.

    I emailed them about 2 years ago asking about their tailgate storage for the Tundra. The guy replied and said he was working on it and would get back to me. Guess he forgot. Glad he got around to it though.

    But the more I think about it the more I think that it would need to be lightweight stuff kept in there. Recovery gear, first aid kit, tow rope, ratchet straps and tie downs, etc. Because being rear ended would destroy anything in there and also make it more of a PITA to open and close.

    $1900 plus shipping, not worth it to me.

    Strange that they have a product gap with for those model years and cab length.
