Product Description
Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover for 2009-2015 Toyota Tacoma Trucks With a Backup Camera, 2 Pieces (DH10174)
If your Tacoma has a backup camera in the tailgate handle area, a generic handle cover will not do. DH10174 is QAA's two-piece chrome tailgate handle cover kit for the 2009-2015 Toyota Tacoma, and its catalog note is the key detail: "with camera." This version is cut to suit trucks equipped with the camera, so the cover dresses the handle without getting in the way.
Camera check first
Before you order, walk to the back of your truck and look at the tailgate handle. QAA lists this kit specifically for the camera-equipped setup. If your Tacoma does not have a camera there, this is not the version QAA lists for you, and a quick call will help you sort out the right part.
Fitment
The catalog lists the Toyota Tacoma pickup, both 2-door and 4-door, for model years 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. Seven years of trucks share this kit, as long as the camera detail matches.
Chrome plated ABS, not stainless
Unlike much of QAA's stainless trim, this cover is made from chrome plated ABS plastic with a polished finish, and it is imported. ABS is a rigid plastic widely used for exterior trim, and the chrome plating gives it a mirror-bright surface. Molded plastic can follow the curves of a handle and its surround closely.
Two pieces
The kit includes two pieces for the tailgate handle area. The catalog does not describe what each piece covers, so the product photos are your guide to how the pair fits around the handle and camera. Look closely at the camera opening in the photos and compare it with your own tailgate.
Installing with 3M tape
The cover attaches with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. For a good bond, wash the handle area, remove any wax, and let it dry completely. Test-fit both pieces first, paying attention to the clearance around the camera, then press firmly over the whole surface so the 3M tape bonds. The Installation tab gives step-by-step details.
Why cover a tailgate handle
The tailgate handle is one of the most-touched parts of a pickup, and it is often finished in plain black plastic. A chrome cover brightens the back of the truck and ties in with other chrome accents, such as door handles or mirror covers, if your truck has them.
Other Tacoma trim
The catalog does not list companion QAA parts alongside this SKU, so the Fitment tab shows only DH10174. If you are looking for more Tacoma trim, call us and we can check what QAA offers.
Plastic and stainless together
If you plan to combine this chrome cover with polished stainless trim on the same truck, remember that the two materials can look slightly different side by side. Pairing them by area, chrome on the handles and stainless on body panels, keeps the look consistent.

Installation tips: Tailgate Handle Cover Kit
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
