Slow open tailgate broke. IS my part number correct?

67289-04010


Looks like a replacement is different design.

2021 Tacoma.

 

I think it is this one: 66143-04021

 

This is the part number I ordered for my 2016 and it fit so you should have the correct one. Not sure if they changed it for any reason

 

Here's the diagram.

 

2016 tailgate bushing is a different design than later year Tacos. Newer ones have an updated part number that won't fit the 2016s I'm pretty sure

 

Buy more than 1 cheap shit part mine has broke 3x already on my 21 since it was new

 

From what ive seen, there is a new part, the one i posted.

 

Wow 106$ for that piece of plastic?

 

Looks like that’s the old 2016. Anyway read the description here. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1445845194...MIw-Wm-tWT_wIVbi6tBh0SwA_3EAQYESABEgJSOPD_BwE

 

The damper is metal. Actually has a decent amount of heft to it but easy to replace. I had to replace it when I hit my ride side quarter panel.

 

You don't need the damper i doubt that is whats broken on a 21 its more than likely the shit plastic bushing toyota uses i keep a few spares in the truck

 

Add the auto tailgate!!

 

Hopefully it’s just the bushing! There’s a discussion about them that seems helpful here and a replacement here (didn’t check part that the number on the site matches the thread)
