My 2015 Tacoma has its first dent, that bothers me a lot. There is a small dent in the tailgate but ehh. This is right on the major body line. Good thing is zero scratching. I have no idea how it happened, my truck is driven by many. PDR right? what kind? Would this be cheap enough >$100 to bring to a real place instead of DIY? I want it gone, the right way. I'm not sure I'm capable of doing it, I'm good mechanically and electrically but not this, bodywork is an art. I've attached a picture, maybe its57533560844__809733BA-5610-4A90-8CFF-D9C7208DEB1C.JPGjust me and I bother myself about it because I know about it, you have to look closely. I would love to hear anybody's input on this!
 
Harbor freight has a few sizes of section cups. You could try the heat gun canned air or dry ice trick. YouTube how to remove a dent there are lots of videos of people doing different things.
Good luck.
Let us know what you do and how it turns out.
 
Looks like a crease at the top of the dent. Paint crack? I would pay the $100 for PDR if they can do it.

I would consult this route also. Paintless Dent Repair is an art if the right guy is doing it. Cheap repair option. A lot of people will do it under the table too. I’ve had it done on a dent that wouldn’t pop out and was creased.

A friend of mine put a deflated basketball between the body and bed and aired it up slowly with a hand pump until the small dent popped out
