A TikTok user has shared an interesting feature on trucks that could help drivers load goods into the bed.<\/p>\n
Performance Toyota is a car dealership in Pennsylvania that regularly posts short videos about hidden features found in the vehicles they sell.<\/p>\n
In one of their most popular videos, Performance Toyota demonstrated that there is a secret way in which owners of the Tundra pickup can open the tailgate.<\/p>\n
In the video, we see an employee at the dealership unlock the vehicle and press a button on the side of the left-hand rear light.<\/p>\n
As soon as it was pressed, the electric tailgate quickly opened, giving the employee quick access to the Tundra\u2019s large bed.<\/p>\n
