i was told that a camery or carolla rear door motor will work in the tail gate if this is true what year and model if any one knows?

 

Just about any motor from a Toyota will work, if you A. find one indexed correctly (they differ left to right on the doors) and B. change the plug. Some of the earlier ones (83-86 Camry) have the correct plug. Finding those older ones can be a PITA, so often its just better to get one from a newer vehicle and change the plug.

 

ya he is correct, you need the driver side ones either front or rear. I would get the rear cuz there probably wasn't much use with it. The ones I have were from older cars the rear one looked just like new.

 

I just repaired mine w/ a passenger side motor. There's room to install it the other way and it works great.
