My truck was shaking on the freeway. It shake real hard. It tailgate seem like it want to fall off a part. Especially; on a bad pavement roads. The 2002 Tundra 4.7l V8 more like a good rides cause it frame seem more solid, and I drive on the same roads it doesn't shake at all. Please! any body out there know how to fix this problem to stop the shaking. And I knows somebody out there know what I am talking about. This is a seriously shake people. I believe it was a bad frame. I got a 2008 Tundra 5.7l V8. My truck was shaking on the freeway. It shake real hard. It tailgate seem like it want to fall off a part.

The rock went all over the road. Now my tailgate has scratches, and several small dents on the outside from hitting the tow ball. I talked to the Body Shop manager about it today, he said he had not heard of it happening to anyone else. I found the memo from Toyota to the dealers, and just emailed it to him. He is Clinton Woodward @ New Country Toyota in Clifton Park, NY. I decided to research it myself, and was surprised to find all of this. Very disappointed.

They are on order now. Toyota is not reimbursing them, to the best of my knoledge. Luckily, I somehow chose the best dealer in my area.

Personnally, I use two motorcycle straps attached to the tie down loops at the rear corners of the bed and wrap them across the back edge of tailgate and attach to the safety chain loops on the hitch. I used to to this on my other trucks to keep them from bouncing. Never thought of one falling off. Wish someone would post this explaination on the Tundra solutions website.
