    Does the composite bed have a drain hole(s)?

    I wanted a faster vehicle so I also bought a Chevy SS... because 4 door sedans with big V8’s are hilarious.
    If it doesn’t it’s easily remedied with no risk of corrosion. All you need is a handy-dandy drill and nice sharp drill bit! Drain hole(s) achieved!

    Yes Sir! No need to sharpen drill bits on a Toyota. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

    Can confirm, just like the composite bed in the Taco, that the Tundra has drain holes up front near the cab.

    There are 4 of them at the forward end (towards the cab).
    Small but drillable if you need them bigger.

    If you install the OEM Tonneau cover it does utilize 2 of those holes for its drain tubes but the holes are there.

    I bought a synetic USA cover and it has 4 big drain hoses. I am not sure where to drill...anyone has a picture of where they drilled. Ultimately, I am trying to just drill the liner and not the metal of the bed...is that even possible? if not, I may look for drain tube reducer to make it fit the tiny factory holes.

    I installed a Retrax cover which requires 2 drain holes. They are located in the corners of the bed closest to the cab. I drilled the holes out to 5/8” to accommodate the drain tubes. I drilled from the underside of the bed liner. You do not need to go through the actual metal bed, just the liner.

    Also, I’m impatient and went straight to a 5/8 bit. I would definitely start smaller and work your way up.
