professional inventory at Buy Mustang parts Ltd, a “flatbed only” (also known as a Ute Tray) for the 2024–2026 Toyota Hilux Double Cab is a high-turnover item. These are frequently sourced as “new-vehicle take-offs” when owners upgrade to custom service bodies or canopies.

2. Material Tiers for Luxury Inventory
| Material | Best For | Luxury Selling Point |
| Heavy-Duty Alloy | Overlanding & Leisure | Non-corrosive, lightweight, often features a “checker plate” floor. |

3. The “Sensor & Camera” Conversion Kit
The 2024–2026 Hilux is packed with rear-end tech. When selling a flatbed to replace a factory “Tub,” you must include or mention the relocation hardware:
-
Reverse Camera Mount: The factory camera is usually in the tailgate handle. A luxury flatbed needs a dedicated, protected housing under the tray.
-
Parking Sensors: The four ultrasonic sensors must be relocated into the tray’s rear light bar.
-
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM): On SR5 and Rogue trims, the BSM radars are in the bumper corners. A flatbed conversion requires these to be precisely repositioned to avoid “Ghost Alerts” on the dashboard.
