Tacoma tailgate check

Will those of you with 2001+ Tacomas check your tailgates for me? I went to the stealership (not the stealership where I bought the truck) to have them take a look at the condensation in my tail lamps and they told me they’d order some new laps for me. They also asked me if I’d been in an accident because there’s no VIN number on my tailgate; sad that they didnt know for sure whether tailgates have vins or not. If 2004 Tacoma tailgates have VIN numbers the stealership better have a good explanation because I haven’t been in any accidents.

The service rep didnt say a specific spot on the tailgate. He just said it was odd there wasnt a vin on the tailgate.

You made a good choice I will look to see if my truck has one when I get home.

I guess I'll just drive by a stealership and drop some tailgates to see if new trucks have vins.
